Multimodal Device for Transdermal Treatments

Abstract

The present invention includes an apparatus for transdermal treatments comprising: an openable enclosure for a subject in communication with three or more sources of treatment modalities selected from: a source of ozone; a source of steam, a source of CO2/Carbonic Acid; a source of Far Infrared; and a source of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), wherein each of the three or more sources is in communication with an interior of the openable enclosure to treat the subject transdermally.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for transdermal treatments comprising:
 a first and a second pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) mat or blanket, wherein the first and second PEMF mat or blanket form magnetic fields to treat a subject transdermally.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus for transdermal treatments of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second PEMF mats or blankets comprises a plurality of coils to provide treatment to at least a portion of a body of the subject, or a whole body of the subject, concurrently. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus for transdermal treatments of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more processors connected to the first and second PEMF mats or blankets, wherein the one or more processors control each of the magnetic fields formed by the first and second PEMF mats or blankets. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus for transdermal treatments of  claim 1 , wherein the subject is a human. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus for transdermal treatments of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets generate the magnetic fields concurrently, in series, in an overlapping manner, continuously, in pulses, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus for transdermal treatments of  claim 1 , wherein formation of the magnetic fields by the first and second PEMF mats or blankets is programmed into a processor for a treatment of the subject. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus for transdermal treatments of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets form two overlapping PEMF fields to provide at least partially amplified magnetic fields. 
     
     
         8 . A method of transdermal treatment of a subject comprising:
 providing the subject;   providing a first and a second pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) mat or blanket, wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets form magnetic fields to treat the subject transdermally;   placing the first and second PEMF blankets around the subject; and   forming the magnetic fields.   
     
     
         9 . The method of transdermal treatment of  claim 8 , further comprising the step of providing a high-intensity PEMF for up to 12 minutes. 
     
     
         10 . The method of transdermal treatment of  claim 8 , wherein each of the first and second PEMF mats or blankets comprises a plurality of coils to provide treatment to at least a portion of a body of the subject, or a whole body of the subject, concurrently. 
     
     
         11 . The method of transdermal treatment of  claim 8 , wherein one or more processors connected to the first and second PEMF mats or blankets control each of the magnetic fields formed by the first and second PEMF mats or blankets. 
     
     
         12 . The method of transdermal treatment of  claim 8 , wherein the subject is a human. 
     
     
         13 . The method of transdermal treatment of  claim 8 , wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets generate the magnetic fields concurrently, in series, in an overlapping manner, continuously, in pulses, or combinations thereof. 
     
     
         14 . The method of transdermal treatment of  claim 8 , wherein formation of the magnetic fields by the first and second PEMF mats or blankets is programmed into a processor for a treatment of the subject. 
     
     
         15 . The method of transdermal treatment  claim 8 , wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets form two overlapping magnetic fields to provide at least partially amplified magnetic fields. 
     
     
         16 . Use of an apparatus for transdermal treatments of a subject, wherein the apparatus comprises a first and a second pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) mat or blanket, and wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets form magnetic fields to treat the subject transdermally. 
     
     
         17 . The use of the apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein each of the first and second PEMF mats or blankets comprises a plurality of coils to provide treatment to at least a portion of a body of the subject, or a whole body of the subject, concurrently. 
     
     
         18 . The use of the apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein one or more processors connected to the first and second PEMF mats or blankets control each of the magnetic fields formed by the first and second PEMF mats or blankets. 
     
     
         19 . The use of the apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the subject is a human. 
     
     
         20 . The use of the apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the first and second PEMF mats or blankets generate the magnetic fields concurrently, in series, in an overlapping manner, continuously, in pulses, or combinations thereof.
