FACE MASKS WITH THERAPEUTIC COOLING

Abstract

Various illustrative systems, devices, and methods for face masks are provided. In general, a face mask is configured to provide cooling therapy to a user wearing the face mask. In an exemplary implementation, the face mask includes a thermoelectric cooling device, such as a Peltier device, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), or other thermoelectric cooling device. The thermoelectric cooling device is configured to generate heat through a thermoelectric effect where a heat flux is created at a junction of two different types of materials. The heat flux creates a cold area and a hot area. The cold area is configured to face toward the user's face to provide cool energy to the user's skin.
