Benefits of technology

A process of exfoliation, cleansing, hydration, and oxygenation is used to provide nutritional oxygenation of the skin. To begin, a two step exfoliation process consists of first using an alkalinic solution to break down skin cells immediately on contact, then using a slightly acidic solution to help neutralize the alkalinic solution and calm the skin. Second, the cleansing step uses a bacterio

Problems solved by technology

So far, however, there has been a limited number of programs established that are clinically advanced enough to use oxygen cosmetic skin treatments.
Traditional practices of skin care in the prior art have been very limited.
As a result, the prior art provided only short-term relief with no lasting benefit to the skin.
In fact, many methods currently employed are damaging to facial skin and are thus undesirable.
Specifically, the problem of moisturizing the skin with the currently available creams, oils and lotions is that many of the ingredients used therein clog the pores and may cause infection to occur.
Also, complete and effective moisturization of the skin is not entirely possible due to the size and structure of the molecules in the lotions, oils and creams.

Embodiment Construction

This invention is a process consisting of the steps of exfoliating the skin, cleansing the skin, hydrating the skin, and oxygenating the treated area. In general, exfoliation is accomplished by first applying an alkalinic solution to the facial area, followed by an application of an acidic solution as a neutralizer. Cleansing of the skin is accomplished by applying a solution containing a bacteriostatic agent. To hydrate the skin, select amounts of vitamins A and E and minerals are applied to the skin. Finally, the skin is oxygenated with a nebulizer thereby providing nutrients to the skin on a pore-by-pore basis.

I. Exfoliation

The first part of this process utilizes an Exfoliant I solution. It is titrated to be an alkalinic solution with a pH substantially in the range of 8.2 to 8.5. The method of operation is purely enzymatic (and enhancement ) with base line surfactants. The solution is a combination of mild enzymatic cleansing agents and an electrolyte soap. Enzymes useful includ...

Abstract

A skin treatment process designed to reduce the aging process of the skin and to cause the skin to become a semi-permeable membrane. The steps include exfoliation, cleansing, hydration, and oxygenation. By placing solutions ranging from a pH substantially in the range of 4.5 to 8.8 on the skin in a predetermined order, the skin will be able to accept a oxygenated mist of moisturized nutrients on a pore-by-pore basis.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates to a process and treating solution for the nutritional oxygenation of the skin via the steps of exfoliation, cleansing, hydration, and oxygenation. The steps of the process are performed by using various solutions that are adjusted to specific pH levels to condition the skin and allow the skin to receive each level of nutrients on a pore-by-pore basis.Oxygen is a critical element in the maintenance of healthy skin, just as it is crucial to the normal functioning of our bodies in general. The use of oxygen to increase the healing of skin wounds caused by disease or injury is well documented by medical researchers, clinicians, and physicians around the world. The majority of this documentation is found in textbooks and literature detailing hyperbaric oxygenation as well as oxygenated limb pressure units. So far, however, there has been a limited number of programs established that are clinically advanced enough to use oxygen cosmetic s...
