It has a mechanism in which these are simultaneously directed to the skin, and the stimulation of energization accompanying the contact of the roller is given to the skin while irradiating the skin with light.

  Since the roller contacts the skin when light is applied to the skin, the roller is an obstacle to the light at the contact point of the roller in the skin, and the skin cannot be irradiated with light. The site where the stimulation of energization was applied and the site where the stimulation was applied by irradiating light were completely separate. For this reason, to apply the two stimuli evenly to the skin, it takes time to move the device little by little and apply each stimulus individually, and it takes time to apply each stimulus. There was a problem that the synergistic effect between stimuli was not sufficient.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. While giving a stimulus based on contact to the user's skin, it can simultaneously irradiate light to the site to which the stimulus is applied. It is an object of the present invention to provide a beauty apparatus that can give the maximum effect.

  A beauty device according to the disclosure of the present invention includes a main body portion held by a user, and a skin that is provided integrally with the main body portion and receives a predetermined stimulus related to beauty in a state of being close to the user's skin.

Can be applied to the skin at the same time as the stimulation with the contact of the roller part, and the effect of activating the skin by light irradiation is combined with the effect of the stimulation of the contact, not alone, and the skin is efficiently activated and high A beauty effect will be obtained. In addition, the light directly reaches the skin from the convex part that contacts the skin of the roller part, so that the attenuation of the light amount due to the presence of air or the like in the middle is suppressed, and the effect of activating the skin by irradiating the skin with light is maximized Can be as high as possible.

  Further, in the cosmetic device according to the disclosure of the present invention, the roller part is formed with a shaft part protruding from both ends in the rotation axis direction as needed, and is supported rotatably on the main body part side by the shaft part. The light source part is arranged so that the light emitting part faces the end surface in the rotation axis direction of the shaft part of the roller part, and light emitted from the light source part enters the roller part from the end surface of the shaft part. Is.

  Thus, according to the disclosure of the present invention, the roller portion is rotatably supported by the shaft portions at both ends in the axial direction, the light source portion is disposed in the vicinity of the shaft portion, and the light of the light source portion is transmitted from the end surface of the shaft portion. By making the light incident and proceeding into the roller portion, it is not necessary to provide a light source in the roller portion, and the light source portion is not affected by the rotation of the roller portion, so that the roller portion and the light source portion can be separated. Reliability can be greatly improved. In addition, since light is introduced from the end face of the shaft part, light can be introduced from the light source part without difficulty while enabling smooth rotation of the roller part, and the arrangement structure of the roller part and the light source part can be simplified and compact. , Cost is also reduced.

  Further, in the beauty device according to the disclosure of the present invention, if necessary, the roller portion has an outer peripheral member having an uneven portion on the outer periphery and a space portion inside, and the shaft portion.

Hereinafter, a beauty apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In each of the drawings, the beauty device 1 according to the present embodiment is placed near the end of the main body 11 and the main body 11 that is held by the user, and enters a predetermined operating state related to the beauty on the skin 70. The head unit 12, the tilting arm unit 13 disposed to be tiltable at a predetermined portion in the vicinity of the head unit 12 in the main body unit 11, and the roller unit 14 disposed to be rotatable at the end of the tilting arm unit 13. And a light source unit 15 that is built in the end of the tilting arm 13 near the roller unit 14 and emits visible light having a predetermined wavelength, and a control unit 16 that controls light emission and the like in the light source unit 15.

  The main body portion 11 is arranged with the head portion 12 protruding toward one end, while the predetermined length range on the other end side is suitable for the user to hold it by hand during use. The grip portion 11a has a thickness, and the longitudinal direction of the grip portion 11a and the front direction of the head portion 12 are inclined by a predetermined angle. As a battery (not shown). Further, the tilting arm portion 13 is disposed in a predetermined portion near the head portion 12 of the main body portion 11 so as to be tiltable. A power connection cable for charging the battery or using the apparatus with a commercial power source can be connected to the other end of the main body, which is the longitudinal end of the grip 11a.

  On the front side of the gripping part 11a closer to the front side of the head part 12 in the main body part 11, an operation part for switching ON / OFF of the operation related to cosmetics, the type of operation, strength, etc. in response to the user's input operation 11b is disposed. An auxiliary electrode portion 11c made of a conductive member and connected to the control portion 16 is disposed on the side surface of the grip portion 11a. When the user grips the grip portion 11a, the finger and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c come into contact with each other. It will be.

  Further, a ring-shaped holding portion 17 that holds a porous covering 12a such as a cotton puff is attachable to and detachable from the head portion 12 around the head portion 12 in the main body portion 11 (FIGS. 11 and 12). reference). The main body 11 may incorporate a vibration source such as a vibrator so that vibration can be applied to the skin 70 when the head 12 or the roller is used.

  The operation unit 11b receives a user's input operation and switches the power ON / OFF and also switches the type of operation related to cosmetics. The mode switch 11d also serves as a power switch. 11e etc. are arranged.

  The main body 11 can be used so that either one of the head unit 12 and the roller unit 14 can be switched, which is integrally disposed as a stimulus applying unit capable of applying a predetermined stimulus relating to beauty to the user's skin. It is a mechanism.

The head portion 12 is made of a conductive material, has a substantially truncated cone shape with a gently curved surface that can come into surface contact with the skin 70, and protrudes from the front side of one end portion of the main body portion 11 with the top surface side as a tip. It is the structure arranged. The head unit 12 is used by being brought into contact with the skin 70 directly or via the porous coating 12a during ion introduction or the like.
The head unit 12 is electrically connected to the control unit 16 in the main body unit 11, and can be energized through the user's body with the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in the grip unit 11a.

  When ion introduction or the like is performed using the head unit 12, the user holds the gripping part 11a to bring the user's palm or hand fingers into contact with the auxiliary electrode part 11c. A voltage is applied between the auxiliary electrode portion 11c and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c so that energization can occur. Then, the user makes the head part 12 contact the skin 70 such as the face directly or through the porous coating body 12a impregnated with a liquid such as a skin lotion containing an electrolyte component, and the head part 12 and the auxiliary part. The electrode unit 11c is energized through the user's body.

  As the skin 70 in contact with the head portion 12 is energized, the ionic active ingredient contained in the liquid such as skin lotion previously applied to the skin surface or soaked in the porous coating 12a is controlled. Ion introduction (iontophoresis) introduced into the skin by ion movement based on the current from the unit 16 can be performed. Further, as cleansing the skin 70, it is possible to obtain a state in which dirt components such as charged wastes are transferred from the skin 70 side to the head portion 12 side by energization and taken into the porous covering 12a held on the head portion surface. it can. Such ion introduction and cleansing techniques are known per se and will not be described in detail.

  The head portion 12 may be made of metal in addition to a configuration in which a conductive material such as a conductive resin, conductive rubber, or rubber is attached to a surface of an elastic body or a thin film of the conductor is disposed. . More preferably, a material that is stable against energization, for example, titanium or the like, may be used because of ion introduction or the like.

The tilting arm portion 13 is a substantially arm-like member that can be tiltably attached to one end portion of the main body portion 11 where the head portion 12 is located, and the roller portion 14 can be attached to an end portion that is away from the center of tilting. . By tilting the tilting arm portion 13 with respect to the main body portion 11, the position of the roller portion can be changed with respect to the main body portion 11.
The end portion of the tilting arm portion 13 rotatably supports the end portion of the roller portion 14 and incorporates a light source portion 15 that emits light toward the end portion of the roller portion 14.

  The roller portion 14 is made of a translucent resin, and is a rotationally symmetric body having a concavo-convex shape in which a plurality of convex portions 14 c that can contact the skin are arranged at predetermined intervals on the outer peripheral portion, and the tilting central portion of the tilting arm portion 13. It is configured such that it is rotatably supported around an axis parallel to the tilting axis of the tilting arm part at the end part away from the tilting arm part, and is arranged integrally with the main body part 11 via the tilting arm part 13. Moreover, the roller part 14 is each formed with the shaft part 14d which protrudes in the both ends of a rotating shaft direction, and is a mechanism supported rotatably at the edge part of the tilting arm part 13 by this shaft part 14d.

  The roller portion 14 is exposed so as to be in contact with the skin 70, and when the outer peripheral portion having a plurality of irregularities is rolled while being applied to the skin, the pressing of the skin 70 by the convex portion 14c contacting the skin is intermittently generated. Thus, it is a mechanism capable of giving stimulation such as so-called tapping massage, such as repeatedly tapping the skin 70 with a finger.

  When applying direct contact stimulation by the roller unit 14 and irradiating light from the light source unit 15, the tilting arm unit 13 is tilted so that the roller unit 14 is positioned on the front side of the head unit 12, and the roller unit 14 is placed on the skin 70. It is set as the state which can contact | abut (refer FIG.1, FIG.2, FIG.3, FIG.13). On the other hand, when the contact stimulation and light irradiation by the roller unit 14 are not performed, such as ion introduction, the tilting arm unit 13 is tilted to shift the roller unit 14 from the front side of the head unit 12 and the head unit 12 is opened. Then, the head part 12 can be covered with the porous covering 12a or brought into contact with the skin 70 (see FIGS. 4, 5, 11, and 12).

  In detail, the roller portion 14 has an outer peripheral member 14a having an uneven portion on the outer periphery and having a space portion therein, and a part of the roller portion 14 in the space portion of the outer peripheral member 14a having the shaft portion 14d. And a light transmission member 14b. Among these, the light transmission member 14b is formed in a surface shape in which a plurality of curved surfaces in a direction intersecting the roller rotation axis direction are arranged in a groove shape in the rotation axis direction in a portion accommodated in the space portion of the outer peripheral member 14a. (See FIG. 10).

  Thus, by making the roller part 14 into the combined structure of the outer peripheral member 14a and the light transmission member 14b, the light from the light source part 15 incident on the shaft part 14d travels from the light transmission member 14b to the outer peripheral member 14a. A boundary surface between the outer surface of the light transmission member 14b and the ambient atmosphere, that is, air, a boundary surface between the cylindrical inner surface of the outer peripheral member 14a and the air, and a boundary surface of the direct contact portion between the light transmission member 14b and the outer peripheral member 14a. When the light is irradiated from the roller part 14 to the outside, reflection and refraction are caused by the reflection and refraction of the roller part 14 and a state in which the light is irradiated from all positions in the roller part 14 rotation axis direction is obtained. . In this way, it is possible to irradiate light to the skin portion where the convex portion 14c of the roller portion 14 is in contact with each position in the rotational axis direction, and the activation of the skin by light is ensured at any position on the skin where the roller portion convex portion 14c contacts. It will be possible to plan.

  Further, the uneven shape on the outer periphery of the roller portion 14 is directed outwardly from the inside of the roller portion 14 in the concave portion 14e of the outer peripheral surface based on the relationship between the translucent material forming the roller portion and the ambient atmosphere, that is, air. Increasing the incident angle of light incident on the outer peripheral surface of the roller portion, that is, the boundary surface, increases the rate of light reflection, and the convex portion 14c enters the outer peripheral surface of the light roller portion from the inside of the roller portion 14 to the outside. In this configuration, the angle of incidence is reduced, and the rotationally symmetrical predetermined uneven shape is formed so as to increase the rate at which light is transmitted to the outside as it is.

  This makes it easy for light to be emitted from the roller part 14 to gather on the convex part 14c, and the ratio of light directly irradiated to the skin from the convex part 14c of the roller part in contact with the skin can be increased. The skin can be activated more efficiently by light irradiation.

  In addition, the uneven shape on the outer periphery of the roller portion can be an uneven shape optimized with emphasis on giving stimulus by contact, and temporarily reaches the skin through the air as the ambient atmosphere from the concave portion of the roller portion. Even if the ratio of the above increases slightly, it is possible to apply a stimulus by contact more appropriately and improve the cosmetic effect accompanying this stimulus. In addition, as long as the roller part has a light-transmitting material, it is not limited to a resin material but may be made of other materials such as glass, or a combination of a plurality of light-transmitting dissimilar materials. It doesn't matter.

  The light source unit 15 emits visible light in a red region (wavelength of about 620 to 750 nm), is disposed in the end of the tilting arm unit 13, and emits light under the control of the control unit 16. is there. The structure of each light source unit itself uses a known high-luminance light emitting diode (LED), and detailed description thereof is omitted. The light source portion 15 is fixedly incorporated in the tilting arm portion 13 so that the light emitting portion (LED element) faces the end portion of the shaft portion 14d made of a translucent material like the other portions of the roller portion 14. (Refer to FIG. 7) and electrically connected to the control unit 16 inside the main body 11 through a conducting wire provided in the tilting arm 13.

  The red light from the light source unit 15 is irradiated by the control unit 16 so as to appear to be continuous light at a predetermined irradiation intensity, that is, continuously without flickering or the like. In addition, the light may be irradiated intermittently, that is, by alternately repeating the irradiation period and the non-irradiation period. However, it is preferable that the irradiation in the irradiation period is performed substantially continuously, that is, so that the light looks continuous without flickering. In addition, the light emitted from the light source unit emits visible light of other predetermined wavelengths (other colors) or near-infrared light that causes a predetermined cosmetic effect on the skin other than red light. Also good. Further, a plurality of types of light can be emitted, and the light may be emitted at the same time or at different times to irradiate the skin via the roller unit 14.

  The control unit 16 is built in the main body unit 11, and controls the energization between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11 c and the light emission in the light source unit 15 in response to an input operation to the operation unit 11 b by the user. Is.

  The control unit 16 sets the operation mode of each unit for each cosmetic use. In this embodiment, the cleansing mode for removing harmful components and waste products accumulated in the skin, and ions such as lotion in the deep part of the skin. There are three modes: an iontophoresis mode that permeates the active ingredient and enhances moist feeling, and a roller stimulation and light irradiation mode that activates the skin to fix and penetrate the emulsion or cream.

  In the cleansing mode and the ion introduction mode, the control unit 16 energizes between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c. In the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode, the control unit 16 causes the light source unit 15 to emit light.

  These modes are switched based on a user input operation to the mode switch 11d of the operation unit 11b. When the user first operates the mode switch 11d immediately after the beauty apparatus 1 is turned on, the control unit 16 is in a state in which one of a plurality of modes can be executed.

  In addition, when the control unit 16 energizes between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in accordance with each mode, the control unit 16 adjusts the strength of the current flowing through the user's skin by the energization. Also good. In this case, the adjustment is performed based on a user input operation to the strength changeover switch 11e provided in the operation unit 11b.

  In switching to the roller stimulation and the light irradiation mode, a switch that operates by tilting the tilting arm portion 13 is provided, and the user tilts the tilting arm portion 13 to position the roller portion 14 on the front side of the head portion 12. In this case, the control unit 16 can switch the operation mode of the apparatus to the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode in accordance with the operation of the switch, and the operation of the operation unit 11b after moving the tilting arm unit 13 is troublesome. Can be omitted, and usability can be improved.

  The control unit 16 is a computer having a CPU, a memory, an input / output interface, and the like as its hardware configuration, and is a mechanism that causes the computer to operate as a control means by a program stored in the memory or the like. The computer constituting the control unit 16 is usually mounted as a microcomputer integrally formed with a CPU, a memory, a ROM, and the like.

  Next, the operating state of the beauty device according to the present embodiment will be described. As a premise, it is assumed that the user holds the grip portion 11a of the beauty device 1 and directs the head portion 12 or the roller portion 14 toward the skin site to be used. When the beauty device 1 is turned on and activated by the user, and when a mode is selected and input, the control unit 16 is in a state where execution of each mode can be started.

  When performing cleansing or ion introduction using the head unit 12, the user can tilt the tilting arm unit 13 in advance to shift the roller unit 14 from the front side of the head unit 12, so that the head unit 12 can contact the skin 70. An open state is set (see FIGS. 4 and 5). Then, in the case of cleansing, a wiping lotion or the like, in the case of ion introduction, a protective lotion or the like is directly applied to the skin or soaked into a porous covering 12a such as a cotton puff, In this state, the porous covering 12a is held.

  The skin lotion or the like that is directly applied to the skin or soaked into the porous covering 12a usually contains some electrolyte component, so that there is no problem even if these are interposed between the head portion 12 and the skin without any problem. It becomes possible. The skin lotion is not limited to a liquid that is generally marketed under the name of “skin lotion”, but may be other cosmetic liquids, cosmetics, or the like as long as it is compatible with cleansing and iontophoresis. You may make it use the general purpose liquid agent which can be used also for cosmetics.

  When the user operates the operation unit 11b to select the cleansing mode, the control unit 16 can start an energized state in which a weak pulse current is supplied between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in a short cycle. However, in a state in which the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 70, since the circuit between the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c is not closed via the body, there is no energization.

  In the cleansing mode, the control unit 16 does not cause the light source unit 15 to emit light. However, since the user can visually recognize the state in which the light source unit 15 does not emit light through the roller unit 14, the current state is the skin. It is possible to easily grasp the cleansing mode in which current can be applied, and without causing the roller unit 14 to be erroneously moved to a usable position, it is possible to smoothly handle the cleansing according to the state where cleansing is performed.

  When the user moves the cosmetic device 1 to be held and contacts the skin 70 via the porous covering body 12a, the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c are applied to the user's body and the skin surface in advance. Or it will be in the energized state through the lotion soaked in the porous covering 12a. In the case of cleansing, the dirt on the skin can be removed by transferring the charged fine dirt component on the skin surface or inside to the porous covering 12a side from the skin 70 side (see FIG. 11).

  When the user moves the head portion 12 little by little on the skin while being in contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering body 12a, the cleansing target position can be changed while the energized state is maintained. However, when the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 70, energization is immediately interrupted. When cleansing is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by using the operation unit 11b or turn off the power. In addition, when the time set in advance as the cleansing mode has passed, the controller 16 may stop energization. After the end of this operation mode, it is desirable that the user removes the porous covering 12a from the head part 12 and then cleans the surface of the head part 12 to prepare for the next use.

  When the user operates the operation unit 11b to select the ion introduction mode, the control unit 16 applies a pulse-like weak current between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in a short period corresponding to the ion introduction. The energized state can be started. However, in a state in which the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 70, since the circuit between the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c is not closed via the body, there is no energization.

  In the case of this ion introduction mode, as in the cleansing mode, the control unit 16 does not cause the light source unit 15 to emit light, but the user can visually recognize the state in which the light source unit 15 does not emit light through the roller unit 14. It is possible to easily grasp that the current state is an ion introduction mode capable of energizing the skin, and according to the situation in which ion introduction is performed without erroneously moving the roller unit 14 to a usable position. It can be handled smoothly.

  When the user moves the cosmetic device 1 to be held and the head unit 12 is brought into contact with the skin 70 directly or through the porous coating 12a, the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c are separated from the user's body. Then, it is energized through the skin lotion, which has been applied to the skin surface in advance or soaked in the porous covering 12a. In the case of this ion introduction, the ionic active ingredient in the lotion can be transferred to the skin side to penetrate the active ingredient into the skin (see FIG. 12).

  When the user moves the head portion 12 on the skin little by little while directly contacting the skin 70 directly or via the porous covering 12a, the target position for ion introduction can be changed while the energized state is maintained. However, when the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 70, energization is immediately interrupted. When ion introduction is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by the operation unit 11b or turn off the power. In addition, when the time preset as the ion introduction mode has passed, the controller 16 may stop energization. After the end of this operation mode, the user should remove the porous covering 12a from the head portion 12 and clean the surface of the head portion 12 to prepare for the next use. desirable.

  On the other hand, when performing roller stimulation and light irradiation using the roller unit 14, the user tilts the tilting arm unit 13 in advance, the roller unit 14 is positioned on the front side of the head unit 12, and the roller unit 14 is skinned. (See FIGS. 1, 2, and 3). At the same time, apply either one or both of emulsion and cream to the skin. The emulsions and creams are not limited to the emulsions and creams that are generally marketed with the names “milky milk” and “cream” for cosmetics and cosmetics. Other liquids and creams that can be used as a method may be used.

  When the user operates the operation unit 11b to select the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode, the control unit 16 starts light emission in the light source unit 15. In the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode, the control unit 16 causes the light source unit 15 to emit light, and the user can visually recognize the light emission state of the light source unit 15 through the roller unit 14, so that the current state irradiates light to the skin. It is easy to grasp the mode, and the roller part is brought into contact with the skin and light irradiation is performed without erroneously moving the roller part 14 to the standby position like cleansing or ion introduction. Smooth handling according to the situation.

  Subsequently, when the user brings the roller part 14 into contact with the skin 70 and moves the roller part 14 on the skin so as to roll (see FIG. 13), the convex part 14c of the roller part 14 contacts the skin 70. Massage-like stimulation by the state changing sequentially will be added.

  Further, the portion of the skin 70 where the convex portion 14 c of the roller portion 14 comes into contact is irradiated with red light emitted from the light source portion 15 and transmitted through the roller portion 14. This red light is applied to the skin 70 substantially continuously or intermittently at a predetermined irradiation intensity, and reaches the skin directly from the roller part 14 without air or the like, thereby producing a cosmetic effect such as activating the skin. It will be. As the roller portion 14 moves on the skin, the contact state of the convex portion 14c of the roller portion 14 with the skin 70 changes, and the position of the skin that is the object of direct light irradiation also changes. In addition, stimulation by light irradiation can be efficiently applied to a large number of locations on the skin. Note that a part of the light emitted from the convex portion 14c and the concave portion 14e that are not in contact with the skin is also irradiated to the skin through the air, and the reach of the roller portion 14 is changed as the roller portion 14 moves. A stimulus will be given.

  In this way, the roller part 14 gives a stimulus by the contact of the convex part 14c, and at the same time irradiates light to the same part of the skin to which the stimulus is given, thereby further enhancing the effect relating to beauty.

  When ending the stimulation by the contact of the roller portion 14 to the skin 70 and the stimulation by the light irradiation, the user may separate the roller portion 14 from the skin 70. Eventually, if the operation unit 11b is switched to another function or the power is turned off, light emission in the light source unit 15 and light irradiation based thereon are stopped. It should be noted that a switch may be incorporated in the tilting arm so that energization of the light source unit is interrupted immediately after the roller unit 14 is separated from the skin 70.

  In addition to this, the controller 16 may stop the light emission of the light source unit 15 when the time set in advance as the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode has passed. After use, it is desirable for the user to clean the surface of the roller section 14 and prepare for the next use.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 16 that has been operated by the operation unit 11b can select and execute the cleansing mode, the ion introduction mode, and the roller stimulation and light irradiation modes. In addition, since it is desirable to execute the cleansing mode, the ion introduction mode, the roller stimulation and the light irradiation mode in this order on the skin, the automatic mode includes the cleansing mode, the ion introduction mode, the roller stimulation and the light irradiation mode. In this order, the operation of each part may be automatically advanced, and the frequency of operation by the user can be reduced to facilitate handling.

  Also in this case, in the cleansing mode or the ion introduction mode, the user can visually recognize the state in which the light source unit 15 does not emit light through the roller unit 14, and thus the current state is the cleansing mode or the ion introduction mode in which the skin can be energized. It is possible to easily grasp this, and the user does not accidentally move the roller unit 14 to a usable position. When the mode is switched to the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode, the user emits light from the light source unit 15 through the roller unit 14. Since it is possible to visually recognize the current state, it is possible to easily grasp that the current state is a mode in which light is applied to the skin, and the tilting arm portion 13 is tilted to make the roller portion 14 suitable for the roller stimulation and light irradiation mode. Handling according to each situation can be performed smoothly, such as being able to move quickly to a position.

  As described above, the beauty device according to the present embodiment includes the roller portion 14 made of a translucent material having an uneven shape on the outer peripheral portion, and the light source portion 15 that emits light through the roller portion 14. Since the light emitted from the light source unit 15 reaches the skin 70 through the convex portion 14c of the roller unit 14 in contact with the skin when the unit 14 is brought into contact with the skin 70 and the stimulation accompanying the contact is applied to the skin, the light Can be applied to the skin simultaneously with the stimulation accompanying the contact with the roller unit 14 and the effect of activating the skin by light irradiation is combined with the effect of the stimulation of the contact instead of alone. It is produced, and the skin is efficiently activated to obtain a high cosmetic effect. In addition, the light directly reaches the skin from the convex portion 14c that contacts the skin of the roller portion 14, so that the attenuation of the light amount due to the presence of air or the like in the middle is suppressed, and the skin is activated by light irradiation to the skin. Can be maximized.

  In the beauty device according to the embodiment, the head unit 12 is configured to be able to conduct electricity only through the skin. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a temperature changing unit that generates a temperature change is provided inside the head unit. When heat conduction is generated between the warm part and the head part and the head part is brought into contact with the skin 70, the skin 70 can be heated or cooled by heat conduction through the head part. You can also. In this case, in addition to performing only one of heating or cooling of the skin using the temperature changing unit, it is also possible to switch between heating and cooling.

  As the temperature changing portion, for example, a well-known heater or Peltier element that changes the temperature by energization is provided inside the head portion, and heat conduction from these to the head portion surface side can occur. Such a temperature changing unit is electrically connected to the control unit 16 via a conductive wire, energized as necessary, changed to a temperature set in advance by the control unit 16, and further controlled to maintain the temperature for a predetermined time. Will be.

  Using such a temperature changer, for example, by heating or cooling the skin such as the face, a large temperature change that cannot occur under normal circumstances is caused in the skin, and a change in blood flow is promoted. By changing the tension state, ion introduction by energization can be performed more efficiently, and the beauty effect can be improved.
