ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for heating and moisturizing the skin. The device includes a handle and a thermally conductive head secured to the handle. The head includes a thermally conductive contact plate which is thermally isolated from the head. One or more Peltier effect devices are provided for heating or cooling the contact plate depending upon the polarity of the current. The head and handle function as a heat sink for dissipating heat generated by the Peltier effect devices. A fan is also provided within the head for heat dissipation purposes. A reservoir filled with a moisturizing liquid is mounted to the head and positioned adjacent to the contact plate. The reservoir includes a permeable wall which conforms to the surface of the body to which it is applied.
