Devices and methods for the treatment of skin conditions and lesions are disclosed herein. One aspect of the invention is a compact hand held device that can be safely used by those suffering from skin conditions, such as acne, warts, cold blisters, blemished skin, or fine wrinkles. The devices described herein employ the application of heat for the treatment of skin conditions and lesions. Typically, the peak temperatures employed are about 70~C to about 400~C by the devices, are achieved in less than about 1 second, and maintained for less than about 1 second. In some embodiments, the skin surface is heated with heat pulses. Thermal conduction transfers heat from the device to the skin and causes a biological response that accelerates acne clearing, treats blemished skin, itching, or fine wrinkles. The total heat transferred is low enough to prevent burns.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et procédés de traitement d'états et de lésions cutanés. Selon un aspect de l'invention, un dispositif à main compact peut être utilisé en toute sécurité par les personnes souffrant d'états cutanés, tels que l'acné, des verrues, des cloques froides, une peau tachée ou des ridules. Ces dispositifs utilisent l'application de chaleur pour le traitement d'états et de lésions cutanés. Généralement, les températures de pointe utilisées par les dispositifs et comprises entre environ 70 °C et environ 400 °C sont obtenues en moins d'une seconde environ et sont maintenues pendant mois d'une seconde environ. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la surface cutanée est chauffée par des vagues thermiques. La conduction thermique transfère la chaleur du dispositif à la peau et provoque une réponse biologique qui accélère l'élimination de l'acné, traite la peau tachée, les démangeaisons ou les ridules. La chaleur totale transférée est suffisamment basse pour éviter les brûlures.
