Smart overview of the Invention

The system is designed to apply formulas using an advanced applicator equipped with multiple reservoirs and sensors. The applicator's body houses these reservoirs, which hold various formulas. An applicator surface, attached to the body, facilitates the application of these formulas. Integrated condition sensors assess skin conditions before application, while a position sensor maps the skin as the applicator moves. A base device processes data from these sensors, directing the applicator to administer appropriate treatments based on detected skin conditions.

Functionality and Adaptability

The base device processor can compare detected skin conditions with baseline conditions, adjusting treatments accordingly. This adaptability extends to multiple skin areas, allowing for individualized treatment across different portions of skin. The system can also include light sources for light treatments, with sensors and lights arranged in a ring on the applicator. Light treatment parameters such as intensity and wavelength are tailored based on skin condition assessments.

Advanced Treatment Options

Radiating elements within the applicator offer additional treatment options through radiation therapies like UV light. These treatments are customized based on condition-specific factors such as frequency and power. The applicator also adjusts formula attributes—like flow rate and temperature—based on skin condition data, which can include hydration levels, pigmentation issues, or acne.

Dispensing Mechanism

The applicator surface may feature nozzles connected to the reservoirs, dispensing different formulas as needed. Dispensed amounts are determined by skin condition data. Alternatively, a roller ball mechanism can be used for formula application, ensuring even distribution as it rolls over the skin.

Communication and User Interaction

A communication device linked to the base device visualizes treated areas and guides users in applying formulas effectively. It stores user history and highlights untreated areas based on previous usage patterns. This interactive component enhances user experience by ensuring comprehensive coverage and personalized treatment regimens.
