Cosmetology device

Abstract

A device for applying electrical stimulation to a surface of the human body utilizes a calibrated, pre-arranged pattern of conducting, current emitting elements to distribute current throughout an entire surface at once, such as human face, without needing to alter the device to accommodate various are sizes, including varying face sizes.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 21 . (canceled) 
     
     
         22 . A cosmetology device comprising:
 a center point comprising a first electrical contact point;   a perimeter contact ring comprising a second electrical contact point;   a plurality of conducting elements extending from the center point to the perimeter contact ring, wherein each of the plurality of conducting elements includes a head portion electrically coupled to the first electrical contact point and a base portion electrically coupled to the second electrical contact point to form a plurality of paths to carry a micro-current; and   at least one power and control device in electrical contact with the first electrical contact point and the second electrical contact point, the at least one power and control device configured to provide power and control a quantity of power applied to the plurality of conducting elements.   
     
     
         23 . The cosmetology device of  claim 22 , wherein the center point comprises a center point line. 
     
     
         24 . The cosmetology device of  claim 23 , wherein a first end of each of the plurality of conducting elements contacts a respective, different first point on the perimeter contact ring, and wherein a second end of each of the plurality of conducting elements contacts a respective, different second point on the perimeter contact ring, such that the plurality of conducting elements are parallel to one another. 
     
     
         25 . The cosmetology device of  claim 24 , wherein a midpoint of each of the plurality of conducting elements contacts a respective, different point on the center point line. 
     
     
         26 . The cosmetology device of  claim 22 , wherein the plurality of conducting elements extend from the center point to the perimeter contact ring in a spiral configuration. 
     
     
         27 . The cosmetology device of  claim 26 , wherein each of the plurality of conducting elements is offset from an adjacent one of the plurality of conducting elements by a predetermined angle in the spiral configuration. 
     
     
         28 . The cosmetology device of  claim 22 , wherein the plurality of conducting elements comprise wire comprising copper, aluminum, and/or other conducting material. 
     
     
         29 . The cosmetology device of  claim 22 , wherein the plurality of conducting elements comprise a conductive tape, a conductive thread, a conductive yarn, a conductive paint, and/or a wire. 
     
     
         30 . The cosmetology device of  claim 22 , wherein the at least one power and control device produces the micro-current in the plurality of conducting elements simultaneously, in a pulsed manner, or in a zoned manner. 
     
     
         31 . The cosmetology device of  claim 22 , wherein the at least one power and control device varies a time of the micro-current in the plurality of conducting elements according to a regional configuration. 
     
     
         32 . A method comprising:
 applying, to a portion of a face, a cosmetology device for treating the portion, wherein the device includes:
 a center point comprising a first electrical contact point; 
 a perimeter contact ring comprising a second electrical contact point; 
 a plurality of conducting elements extending from the center point to the perimeter contact ring, wherein each of the plurality of conducting elements includes a head portion electrically coupled to the first electrical contact point and a base portion electrically coupled to the second electrical contact point to form a plurality of paths to carry a micro-current; and 
 at least one power and control device in electrical contact with the first electrical contact point and the second electrical contact point, the at least one power and control device configured to provide power and control a quantity of power applied to the plurality of conducting elements; and 
   energizing the cosmetology device to allow energy to radiate into the portion of the face.
