CA 2460673

An improved method and apparatus is provided as a system to enhance skin appearance and health, in which skin is cleaned (or exfoliated) and conditioned by use of microelements (12) affixed to a base element (14) or hand-held patch. The dimensions of the microelements (12) are controlled so as to remove a certain number of layers of skin cells and to accumulate those skin cells, along with other foreign substances, into areas between the microelements. In addition, a conditioning compound or therapeutic active can be applied to the exfoliated skin to enhance the skin. Moreover, the amount of accumulated skin cells represents a self-limiting maximum quantity that cannot be substantially exceeded regardless of the number of attempts by a user to re- use the microstructure apparatus. Some of the microstructures are designed with very close-packed microelements, which in some cases have flexible substrates.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil améliorés constituant un système destiné à améliorer l'apparence et la santé de la peau, dans lequel la peau est nettoyée (ou exfoliée) et conditionnée par l'utilisation de microéléments (12) fixés à un élément de base (14) ou un tampon tenu à la main. Les dimensions des microéléments (12) sont choisies de manière à éliminer un certain nombre de couches de cellules de la peau et à accumuler ces cellules de la peau, ainsi que d'autres substances étrangères, dans des zones situées entre les microéléments. De plus, un composé de conditionnement ou un agent actif thérapeutique peut être appliqué à la peau exfoliée afin d'améliorer l'état de la peau. De plus, la quantité de cellules accumulées représente une quantité maximum autolimitative ne pouvant être dépassée sensiblement indépendamment du nombre de tentatives effectuées par un utilisateur de réutiliser l'appareil à microstructures. Certaines des microstructures sont conçues avec des microéléments très étroitement serrés, lesquels dans certains cas présentent des substrats souples.
