Description

cosmetics mask

Technical area

The present invention relates to a cosmetic mask.

State of the art

Cosmetic or facial masks have been used for some time for anti-aging purposes. The anti-aging methods used especially in the facial area can basically be subdivided into methods for skin treatment without the aid of additional active ingredients, skin smoothing using active ingredients and methods for introducing active ingredients into the skin.

Exemplary methods for skin treatment without the aid of additional active ingredients is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS is an electromedical stimulation current therapy that uses short needle pulses and is also used to treat pain (analgesia) and muscle stimulation. Electrodes are used to transfer the electrical impulses to the skin surface. The time intervals of the needle pulses are 10 ms or more. The electrical stimulus only leads to a tingling sensation on the skin.

The skin smoothing agents typically include hyaluronic acid, Q10, vitamins, minerals, and various plant extracts.

Methods for introducing active ingredients into the skin are iontophoresis and thermophoresis. Lontophoresis is a process for the absorption of active substances through the skin using a weak electrical DC. An improved method is the iontophoresis with slowly changing direct current, since this electrochemical burns are avoided.

In the case of iontophoresis, the active ingredients are usually in the form of an ion, that is to say they have their own electrical charge. Thus, they can be accelerated in the electric field and pass through the skin faster, and then enter the blood or tissue. However, it is also sufficient if uncharged active substances are present in an electrolyte matrix.

The active ingredient is usually placed in an ointment form on wet cellulose paper under an electrode. In classical DC iontophoresis, electrically positively charged drugs (cations) are placed under the positive electrode, negatively charged drugs (anions) under the negative electrode.

From DE 37 83 877 T2 lontophoresepflaster are known which are used in particular for medical applications. These patches consist of an electrode layer, a drug-containing layer, a water-supplying layer and a sealing cover layer. In addition, DE 20 2005 016 128 U 1 describes an electrode structure in which a medicament is present.

Thermophoresis is a heat treatment. Warming promotes the absorption of active substances and improves blood circulation. In a thermophoresis the skin in the cosmetic field temperature is controlled at a value of 40 ⁰ C to 45 ° C.

From DE 37 09 885 C1 a flat cosmetic mask for the upper body is known in the iontophoresis and heating with temperature control, so a combination of iontophoresis and thermophoresis, is realized. The heating is done by an insulated heating conductor, which is laid meandering in the mask. The iontophoresis current is limited to a value of 0.2 to 0.3 mA per cm ² . There is still a need for cosmetic masks that allow various anti-aging methods to be used simultaneously and as conveniently as possible for the user.

Presentation of the invention

This is where the invention starts. The invention, as characterized in the claims, the object is to provide a cosmetic mask, with the help of various anti-aging process can be applied simultaneously in a manner that is as convenient as possible for the user.

This object is achieved by the cosmetic mask according to claim 1 and the cosmetic mask according to claim 28. Further advantageous details, aspects and embodiments of the present invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description, the examples and the figures.

This case in particular by their pleasant for the wearer of the mask textile feel, which is ensured even when using silicone. This textile feel is achieved by the use of a textile carrier or by using silicone. It should be noted at this point that the expert textile materials are known in principle. For example, the DIN standards 60000 and 60001 define textile base materials and textile fibers. However, it has been found that certain textile materials have particularly good properties for the textile carrier.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, natural fibers, chemical fibers or mixtures of these fibers are used as the material of the textile support.

As natural fibers, plant fibers and animal fibers are particularly preferably used. The plant fibers are preferably cotton, linen, flax, hemp and jute. The animal fibers used are preferably silk, sheep's wool, llama wool, angora wool, cashmere, merino wool and camel hair.

As chemical fibers it is particularly preferred to use fibers of natural polymers, fibers of synthetic polymers and inorganic chemical fibers.

The natural polymers are preferably viscose, lyocell,

Acetate fibers and paper fibers. As synthetic polymers are preferred

Polyester, polyamide, polyimide, aramid, polyacrylonitrile, polytetrafluoroethylene,

Polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane used. Inorganic fibers, in particular carbon fibers come into consideration.

Hereinafter, the cosmetic mask according to the invention will be described in connection with its embodiment as a face mask. The reason for this is that most of the cosmetic treatments are done in the facial area. However, it should be made clear that the cosmetic mask according to the invention can in principle be used on any body part. The first electrically conductive element - thermophoresis

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one first conductive element is arranged on the side facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. Since the first conductive element is a heating conductor, attachment to the side facing away from the wearer's face achieves a more comfortable temperature distribution for the wearer.

In principle, all electrically conductive yarns known from the prior art can be used as the first electrically conductive element.

For example, silver-coated nylon multifilament yarns from Statex (Bremen) or x-static (USA) are particularly well suited as the first electrically conductive element. These yarns can be sewn, woven, knitted or knitted.

In addition, stainless steel staple fibers from Bekintex (Belgium) are also suitable. These fibers are especially suitable for sewing as a heating wire.

Also suitable is silver-coated copper wire (textile wire) of the company Elektrisola Feindraht AG (Switzerland). This yarn is especially suitable for heating, but can also be used as Elektrodematerial. The attachment to the textile carrier is done by sewing.

In addition, texture yarns (polyester and wire) of the company Zimmermann (Weiler-Simmerberg) can be used, which can be sewn on as well as knitted.

Carbon fibers (Tenax ™) from Toho Tenax Europe GmbH (Wuppertal) also have good properties.

Finally, combination yarns with outer textile binding thread are particularly well suited, as described in EP 1 537 264 A1. Especially Preference is given to combination yarns with noble metal wires as a conductive component, with platinum being particularly preferred.

The yarns mentioned have the particular advantage of a textile design. The pleasant touch achieved in this way increases the

Comfort comfortable for the user. In the application of thermophoresis, a textile design leads to no restrictions. According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention are as textile

Material of the first electrically conductive element natural fibers, chemical fibers or mixtures of these fibers used.

As chemical fibers it is particularly preferred to use fibers of natural polymers, fibers of synthetic polymers and inorganic chemical fibers. The natural polymers are preferably viscose, lyocell, acetate fibers and paper fibers. The synthetic polymers used are preferably polyester, polyamide, polyimide, aramid, polyacrylonitrile, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane. Inorganic fibers, in particular carbon fibers come into consideration.

Preferably, the heating element is designed as a woven, knitted or knitted fabric or placed on the flat support, embroidered or glued.

The second electrically conductive element - TENS and Lontohorese

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one second conductive element is arranged on the side facing the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. Since the second conductive element is an electrical conductor pair provided for iontophoresis and for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, it is characterized by Attachment on the side facing the wearer's face achieves a more effective action of the iontophoresis on the skin and a more effective stimulation of the skin.

In principle, all electrically conductive yarns known from the prior art can also be used as the second electrically conductive element. However, to ensure a high degree of wearing comfort, a textile configuration of the second electrically conductive element, which is indeed arranged on the side facing the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask, proves to be particularly advantageous.

For example, silver-coated nylon multifilament yarns from Statex (Bremen) or x-static (USA) are suitable as electrically conductive yarns with a textile feel. These yarns can be sewn, woven, knitted or knitted.

In addition, metallized nonwovens and fabrics made by Platingtech (Polymet ™) are particularly suitable as electrode surfaces.

Finally, combination yarns with outer textile binding thread are particularly well suited, as described in EP 1 537 264 A1. Particularly preferred are combination yarns with noble metal wires as a conductive component, with platinum being particularly preferred. In the application of TENS and / or iontophoresis leads a textile

Configuration of the electrodes to no restrictions. Namely, the stimulation current to and into the skin takes place by electrolytes, e.g. be provided by moistening the second electrically conductive elements. However, it is also possible to provide additional electrolytes, possibly together with active substances, which are applied to the second electrically conductive elements before the treatment. Thus, for the application of TENS and / or iontophoresis, conductive yarns covered completely with a textile binding thread can be used.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as the material of the textile component of the second electrically conductive element natural fibers, chemical fibers or mixtures of these fibers are used.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one second electrically conductive element of the cosmetic mask is designed as a woven, knitted or knitted fabric. If textile materials are used both for the heating conductors and for the electrodes for TENS stimulation, the result for the user is a pleasant feel and a high wearing comfort.

Kontaktierunq

A power supply to the electrically conductive elements of the cosmetic mask according to the invention is absolutely necessary. For this purpose, an electrical contact between a power supply unit and the electrically conductive elements is required. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrical contact between the electrically conductive elements and an electrical supply unit separate from the cosmetic mask is produced by a textile tape.

From the textile tape electrically conductive threads are guided to the electrically conductive elements of the cosmetic mask according to the invention. The contacting between the electrically conductive threads and the electrically conductive elements of the cosmetic mask takes place by means of textile sewing techniques. In particular, sewing, embroidery and locking techniques are used. Likewise, however, the push-button technique can be used for contacting, whereby particularly stable electrical contacts are made possible. In addition, other types of electrical contacting such as e.g. Ultrasonic welding, soldering, crimping and combinations thereof applicable.

For electrical contacting a Velcro fastener is preferably used. The intimate connection of the two parts of the hook and loop fastener produces an electrically conductive contact between the two components. The prerequisite is, of course, that the two Velcro parts consist of conductive threads.

Further preferred embodiments

The face mask does not necessarily surround the entire head, but can also be designed as a flat structure that covers only the face and neck area. As already mentioned, the inventive Cosmetic mask basically be used on every part of the human skin.

According to a preferred embodiment, one or more sensors for temperature measurement are additionally provided. The temperature values measured via these sensors are sent to an external control and monitoring system

Control electronics passed through the then supplied to the heating conductors

Current is adjusted so that a predetermined temperature value is reached. The electrical contacting of the sensors and their electrical connections with the external control and regulating electronics preferably also takes place via the textile strips already described for contacting.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the flat carrier is a water-repellent textile carrier material. When using TENS and / or iontophoresis, the electrodes are moistened with water and / or electrolytes containing active substance to produce an optimum electrical contact between the electrodes and the skin. In the application of thermophoresis, it usually comes to a transpiration of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. Due to the water-repellent design of the textile carrier moistening of the heating element is avoided.

Preferably, the conductive elements are glued to the textile carrier or sewn to the textile carrier.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least one second conductive element is present as an integral part of the cosmetic mask. In this embodiment, the electrodes are integrated directly into the cosmetic mask. Any intended anti-aging ingredients are applied to the skin, the cosmetic mask is attracted to it.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least one second conductive element is configured as two electrode pads that can be reversibly connected to the cosmetic mask. These electrode pads are each inserted and connected before use in specially provided areas of the cosmetic mask. When putting on the mask, the electrodes come to lie exactly at the desired places on the forehead, the cheeks and in the neck area. On the areas to be treated in the face previously optionally desired anti-aging agents are applied. Advantage of this embodiment is that the electrodes can be easily replaced, the mask can be used further. Changing the electrodes may be necessary for hygienic or technical reasons (aging).

When using the cosmetic mask according to the invention, additional active substances are preferably used, in particular anti-aging active ingredients. According to a further preferred embodiment, additional active ingredients are therefore applied to at least one of the second conductive elements before the start of the cosmetic treatment.

However, the anti-aging active ingredients can also be incorporated into so-called active agent pads and placed before the treatment on the corresponding skin surfaces under the electrodes formed as an integral part of the cosmetic mask or reversibly (e.g., buttoned) with the cosmetic mask. When using iontophoresis, the active agent pads release the anti-aging active ingredients evenly into deeper skin layers. The drug pads are discarded after each application. The advantage of this embodiment is that it opens up the possibility for cosmetic companies to offer anti-aging active substance systems in the form of active substance pads specifically for use in iontophoresis treatments with the cosmetic mask according to the invention. The drug pads may also be in the form of a gel.

Therefore, embodiments are also preferred according to which pockets for receiving active substance pads are provided on the flat textile carrier in the region of the conductor pairs. According to this embodiment, the active substance pads can be easily placed on the skin site to be treated and exchanged in the same simple manner after the treatment has been carried out. Preferably, a plurality of conductor pairs are provided on the side of the cosmetic mask facing the wearer of the mask, wherein the conductor pairs are arranged in partial regions of the cosmetic mask which are assigned to the forehead region, the cheeks and / or the neck of the wearer of the cosmetic mask.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one second conductive element is configured as two combination pads that can be reversibly connected to the cosmetic mask. Preferably, such combination pads each comprise at least one electrode pad and at least one active agent pad.

Preferably, the side of the combination mask facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask consists of an electrode material, preferably a textile electrode material, while the resting on the skin of the wearer of the cosmetic mask side of the combination pad consists of a suitable material for receiving active ingredients. Particularly preferred in this context, a nonwoven fabric is used. The nonwoven fabric forming the active agent pad contains the anti-aging agents for use, e.g. Q10 or hyaluronic acid or special, for the skin type matched drug mixtures.

Preferably, the combination pad is additionally equipped with a water-supplying layer arranged between the electrode pad and the active substance pad. The water-supplying layer is used for optimum moisture penetration of the active substance-containing layer in the application. Water-impregnated hydrophilic fibers (cotton wool, fleeces, etc.) can be used as the water-supplying layer. In a preferred embodiment, the water is released only after activation (piercing a membrane, ...) from a reservoir.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the combination pad is additionally provided with a layer arranged between the electrode pad and the active substance pad, wherein the layer contains an aqueous electrolyte solution. As the aqueous electrolyte solution-supplying layer can be used impregnated with electrolyte solution hydrophilic fibers (cotton wool, nonwovens, ...). In a preferred embodiment, the electrolyte solution is released from a reservoir only after activation (piercing a membrane,...).

Particularly preferably, the layer arranged between the electrode pad and the active substance pad additionally contains anti-aging active substances. These anti-aging agents may be contained in both the water-providing layer and the electrolytic solution-providing layer. Also in this case, the solution containing anti-aging agents is released only after activation (piercing a membrane, ...) from a reservoir.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment, the combination pad comprises the electrode pad and the active ingredient pad as integral components. In this alternative embodiment, the electrode pad and the drug pad form a unit. Here, the combination pad is e.g. from a conductive nonwoven fabric, which is mixed with the respective desired active ingredients.

The combination pad is placed in the designated areas of the cosmetic mask and electrically connected by means of special contacts (e.g., snaps or hook-and-loop fasteners).

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, provided push buttons not only serve as electrical contact, but are also used as electrodes.

Embodiments in which the electrode pad and the drug pad form a unit are associated with various advantages. Thus, the combination pads can be prepared in a very simple and economically very efficient manner, namely by simply soaking the nonwovens with the drug-containing electrolyte solutions. The pads can also be individually packaged or pulled out of a supply pack similar to wet wipes.

As electrically nonwoven nonwoven fabrics, it is possible to use simple nonwovens or laminates, nonwovens with conductive fibers and electrically conductive nonwovens. Preferably, the combination pad on the face of the wearer of

Face mask facing away from a masking layer on. Preferred water-impermeable cover layers are, for example, plastic films. These can be applied by suitable methods to the underlying electrode layer (laminating, gluing, sewing,). In other

Embodiments consists of the cover layer of textile surfaces which are waterproofed by suitable impregnation.

The combination pad preferably has a nonwoven fabric layer on the side facing the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. Moisture and active ingredients dissolved in suitable electrolytes may diffuse through the nonwoven fabric layer.

The described embodiments, in which additional active substances are used in the context of TENS and / or iontophoresis treatment, have the advantage over the solutions known from the prior art that no additional fixing of the electrodes is required. In the known TENS and iontophoresis devices, the electrodes are generally designed in the form of self-adhesive electrodes. However, these do not adhere to the areas where creams or ointments are applied with anti-aging ingredients, and must therefore be additionally fixed with a plaster. In addition, between the known from the prior art metal electrodes and the creamy skin moistened sponge or nonwoven fabrics must be inserted, since the metal electrodes must not come into direct contact with the cream.

The described preferred embodiments thus make it possible to place the electrodes containing an active substance at the desired locations in the face without requiring additional fixation with patches or similar aids. The fixation is carried out automatically after attachment of the active ingredient or combination pads on the designated areas of the cosmetic mask. The elastic mask ensures that the pads containing an active ingredient lie snugly against the facial skin where it can optimally unfold its anti-aging effect. It should be summarized again that the equipment of the cosmetic mask according to the invention with active substance pedes or combination pads is associated with a number of advantages. The active substance pads or combination pads can be mixed with different active ingredient systems adapted to the respective skin type and thus be used as finished systems for iontophoretic applications together with the cosmetic mask. The active substance pads or combination pads are removed from the packaging only shortly before use. Therefore, comparatively few hygiene measures are required because the pads are discarded after use. The cosmetic mask is almost not contaminated during use. At the same time, the requirements for the electrode material are comparatively low because the pads are discarded after use. In particular, combination pads in which the electrode pad and the active ingredient pad are integral components, ie combination pads of a single layer, are extremely inexpensive to manufacture. This is due to a very simple production process, namely the impregnation of an electrically conductive nonwoven fabric.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the electrically conductive elements are connected to an external power supply and to external control electronics.

The external electronic system preferably controls or monitors all processes performed, namely TENS, iontophoresis, heating and processor-controlled

Temperature measurement. The user can set various treatment programs and related parameters. If the electronics are battery-operated, they can be easily, e.g. on the belt, to be worn. Alternatively, the external electronics can also be operated with a power supply unit. The external electronics preferably have a charging station.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one electrically conductive element is equipped with anti-bacterial nano-silver. Especially Preferably, all electrically conductive elements are equipped with anti-bacterial nano-silver.

According to a very particularly preferred embodiment, the cosmetic mask according to the invention comprises a flat textile support, at least two electrically conductive elements, wherein at least a first conductive element is arranged on the face facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask and the first conductive element is a heating conductor and wherein at least one second conductive element is arranged on the face facing the wearer of the cosmetic mask, and the second conductive element is an electrically conductive pair of conductors intended for iontophoresis and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and at least one for contacting at least one conductive element provided textile tape.

Furthermore, according to this most preferred embodiment, conductor pairs are used as the second electrically conductive element. The conductors, two of which form a conductor pair, are conductive yarns.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a textile band is provided for contacting at least one conductive element. Particularly preferred textile bands are used for contacting all conductive elements. The textile feel of the cosmetic mask is thereby further improved.

According to a further preferred embodiment, an elastic knitted fabric with implanted conductors is provided for contacting at least one conductive element. It is particularly preferred to use siliconized elastic knits with implanted conductors that are better protected against moisture and perspiration.

According to this, very particularly preferred embodiment, all components of the cosmetic mask, that is to say carriers, heating conductors, pairs of conductors and contacts have a textile feel, which leads to a particularly high wearing comfort for the user of the mask. In addition, the external power supply and control electronics are preferably designed and set up so that they can be easily carried by the user of the mask and without impairing the freedom of movement. The power is supplied via batteries or rechargeable batteries, but can also be realized with the help of a Anschußkabels an outlet.

Cosmetic mask with reversibly connected electrode pads

The present invention also provides a cosmetic mask comprising a sheet carrier and at least one electrically conductive member. The electrically conductive element is an electrically conductive pair of conductors intended for iontophoresis and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The electrically conductive conductor pair is configured as a pair of electrode pads which can be reversibly connected to the cosmetic mask.

The electrode pads are each inserted and connected before use in specially provided areas of the cosmetic mask. When putting on the

Mask the electrodes come exactly at the desired locations on the forehead, cheeks and neck area to lie. On the areas to be treated in the

Face are previously applied optionally desired anti-aging agents.

Advantageously, the electrodes can be easily replaced, the mask can be used further. Changing the electrodes may be necessary for hygienic or technical reasons (aging).

According to a preferred embodiment, a flat textile carrier or a flat carrier made of silicone is used. The cosmetic mask is characterized in this case in particular by their pleasant for the wearer of the mask textile Haptic, which is guaranteed even when using silicone. This textile feel is achieved by the use of a textile carrier or by using silicone. It should be noted at this point that the expert textile materials are known in principle. For example, the DIN standards 60000 and 60001 define textile base materials and textile fibers. However, it has been found that certain textile materials have particularly good properties for the textile carrier.

Hereinafter, the cosmetic mask according to the invention will be described in connection with its embodiment as a face mask. The reason for this is that most of the cosmetic treatments are done in the facial area. However, it should be made clear that the cosmetic mask according to the invention can in principle be used on any body part. thermophoresis

According to a preferred embodiment, the cosmetic mask comprises a further electrically conductive element, namely a heating conductor. The heating conductor is preferably arranged on the side facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. By mounting on the side facing away from the wearer's face, a more comfortable temperature distribution is achieved for the wearer.

In principle, all known from the prior art electrically conductive yarns can be used as heating. For example, silver-coated nylon multifilament yarns from Statex (Bremen) or x-static (USA) are particularly suitable as heating conductors. These yarns can be sewn, woven, knitted or knitted.

Also suitable is silver-coated copper wire (textile wire) of the company Elektrisola Feindraht AG (Switzerland). This yarn is especially suitable for heating, but can also be used as an electrode material. The attachment to the textile carrier is done by sewing.

Finally, combination yarns with outer textile binding thread are particularly well suited, as described in EP 1 537 264 A1. Particularly preferred are combination yarns with noble metal wires as a conductive component, with platinum being particularly preferred. The yarns mentioned have the particular advantage of a textile design. The pleasant feel achieved in this way significantly increases the wearing comfort for the user. In the application of thermophoresis, a textile design leads to no restrictions. According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, natural fibers, chemical fibers or mixtures of these fibers are used as the textile material of the heating conductor.

The natural polymers are preferably viscose, lyocell,

Acetate fibers and paper fibers. As synthetic polymers are preferred

TENS and lontohoresis

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pair is arranged reversibly with the cosmetic mask of connectable electrode pads on the side facing the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. Since the electrode pads are an electrical conductor pair intended for iontophoresis and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, attachment to the side facing the wearer's face achieves more effective exposure of the skin to iontophoresis and more effective skin stimulation. In principle, all electrically conductive yarns known from the prior art can also be used as reversibly connected to the cosmetic mask of connectable electrode pads. However, to ensure a high degree of wearing comfort, a textile configuration of the electrode pads, which are indeed arranged on the side facing the wearer's face of the cosmetic mask, proves to be particularly advantageous.

Also suitable is silver-coated copper wire (textile wire) of the company Elektrisola Feindraht AG (Switzerland). This yarn is especially suitable for heating, but can also be used as Elektrodematerial.

Finally, combination yarns with outer textile binding thread are particularly well suited, as described in EP 1 537 264 A1. Particularly preferred are combination yarns with noble metal wires as a conductive component, with platinum being particularly preferred.

When using TENS and / or iontophoresis, a textile configuration of the electrodes does not lead to any restrictions. The stimulation current on and into the skin is namely due to electrolytes, which are provided for example by moistening the electrode pads. But there may also be additional electrolytes may be provided together with agents that are applied to the electrode pads prior to treatment. Thus, for the application of TENS and / or iontophoresis, conductive yarns covered completely with a textile binding thread can be used.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, natural fibers, chemical fibers or mixtures of these fibers are used as material of the textile constituent of the electrode pads.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one pair of electrode pads is formed as a woven, knitted or knitted fabric.

If textile materials are used both for the heating conductors and for the electrodes for TENS stimulation, the result for the user is a pleasant feel and a high wearing comfort.

Preferably, at least one electrically conductive element is glued to the textile carrier or sewn to the textile carrier before.

When using the cosmetic mask according to the invention, additional active substances are preferably used, in particular anti-aging active ingredients.

A plurality of pairs of electrode pads connectable reversibly to the cosmetic mask are preferably provided on the side of the cosmetic mask facing the wearer of the mask, wherein the electrode pads are arranged in partial regions of the cosmetic mask which are assigned to the forehead region, the cheeks and / or the neck of the wearer of the cosmetic mask.

According to a further particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one pair of electrode pads is designed as two reversible combination pads connectable to the cosmetic mask. Preferably, such combination pads each comprise at least one electrode pad and at least one active agent pad. In this embodiment, the combination pad pair can replace the electrode pad pair provided according to the invention, since each combination pad comprises an electrode pad.

Preferably, the combination pad is additionally equipped with a water-supplying layer arranged between the electrode pad and the active substance pad. The water-supplying layer is used for optimum moisture penetration of the active substance-containing layer in the application. As a water-supplying layer can water-soaked hydrophilic fibers (cotton wool, non-wovens, etc.) are used.

The described embodiments, in which additional active substances are used in the context of TENS and / or iontophoresis treatment, have the advantage over the solutions known from the prior art that no additional fixing of the electrodes is required. In the known TENS and iontophoresis devices, the electrodes are generally designed in the form of self-adhesive electrodes. These adhere to the places where Creams or ointments are applied with anti-aging ingredients, and therefore must be additionally fixed with a plaster. In addition, between the known from the prior art metal electrodes and the creamy skin moistened sponge or nonwoven fabrics must be inserted, since the metal electrodes must not come into direct contact with the cream.

The described preferred embodiments thus make it possible to place the electrodes containing an active substance at the desired locations in the face without requiring additional fixation with patches or similar aids. The fixation is carried out automatically after attachment of the active ingredient or combination pads on the designated areas of the cosmetic mask. The elastic mask ensures that the pads containing an active ingredient lie snugly against the facial skin where it can optimally unfold its anti-aging effect.

It should again be summarized that the equipment of the cosmetic mask according to the invention with active substance pads or combination pads is associated with a number of advantages. The active substance pads or combination pads can be mixed with different active substance systems adapted to the respective skin type and thus be used as finished systems for iontophoretic applications together with the cosmetic mask. The active substance pads or combination pads are removed from the packaging only shortly before use. Therefore, comparatively few hygiene measures are required because the pads are discarded after use. The cosmetic mask is almost not contaminated during use. At the same time, the requirements for the electrode material are comparatively low because the pads are discarded after use. In particular, combination pads in which the electrode pad and the active ingredient pad are integral components, ie combination pads of a single layer, are extremely inexpensive to manufacture. This is due to a very simple manufacturing process, namely the impregnation of an electrically conductive nonwoven fabric.

According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one electrically conductive element is equipped with anti-bacterial nano-silver. Particularly preferably, all electrically conductive elements are equipped with anti-bacterial nano-silver.

According to a very particularly preferred embodiment, the cosmetic mask according to the invention comprises a flat textile support, at least two electrically conductive elements and at least one, provided for contacting at least one conductive element textile tape. At least one heating conductor is arranged as the first conductive element on the side facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. As a second electrically conductive element, at least one pair of electrode pads which can be connected reversibly to the cosmetic mask and is intended for iontophoresis and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is arranged on the side facing the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. The conductors forming the electrode pads are conductive yarns.

According to a further preferred embodiment, a textile band is provided for contacting at least one conductive element. Particularly preferred textile bands are used for contacting all conductive elements. The textile feel of the cosmetic mask is thereby further improved. According to a further preferred embodiment, an elastic knitted fabric with implanted conductors is provided for contacting at least one conductive element.

Ways to carry out the invention

Figure 1 shows the face of the wearer facing inside of a cosmetic mask according to the invention. Here are the pairs of electrodes 31 a, 31 b applied for the Lontophorese- and TENS treatment.

FIG. 2 shows the side of the mask facing away from the face of the wearer. It contains the heating elements 40 and a temperature sensor 41.

FIG. 3 schematically shows the overall system which contains the textile cosmetic mask with the described functionality, a conductive textile connecting band 32 and the necessary control electronics 50.

FIG. 4 shows, in cross-section, an active ingredient pad made from a nonwoven fabric 70 which can be inserted, for example, in a pocket provided on the flat textile support in the region of the electrically conductive conductor pairs.

FIG. 5 shows, in cross-section, a combination pad 120 which can be reversibly connected to the cosmetic mask and which comprises an electrode pad 80 and an active agent pad 70. To avoid moisture penetration of the cosmetic mask, the combination pad 120 is provided with a water-impermeable covering layer 90 on the side facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. As a waterproof cover layer 90 are, for example, plastic films. These can be applied by suitable methods to the underlying electrode layer 80 (laminating, gluing, sewing,). In In other embodiments, the cover layer 90 is made of textile surfaces which are waterproofed by suitable impregnation.

Under the cover layer 90 is the electrode pad 80, which is guided through the cover layer 90 and sealed against water electrical

Contacting 100 has. Under the electrode pad 80 is a water-supplying

Layer 110 is arranged and below the water-supplying layer 110 is the active substance pad 70. The water-supplying layer 110 is thus between the

Electrode layer 80 and the active substance-containing layer 70 is arranged and serves the optimal moisture penetration of the active substance-containing layer in the application.

Water-impregnated hydrophilic fibers (wadding, nonwovens, etc.) can be used as water-supplying layer 10. In a preferred embodiment, the water is released only after activation (piercing a membrane, ...) from a reservoir. The water-supplying layer 110 may additionally contain electrolytes and / or anti-aging agents.

When dispensing with a water-providing layer, the combination pad is either equipped with the anti-aging agents dispersed in a sufficient amount of electrolyte solution, or the combination pad is wetted with water or electrolyte solution just prior to use.

Hydrophilic fibers impregnated with suitable anti-aging agents (Q10, hyaluronic acids, etc.) may be used as the active substance-containing layer 70. The active ingredients are dissolved in an aqueous buffer solution with skin-friendly pH (5.0 to 6.0, ideally 5.5). For example, citrate buffer or phosphate buffer are suitable as buffers. To increase the electrical conductivity, the buffer solutions are additionally treated with electrolyte salts, e.g. Sodium chloride, sodium carbonate or sodium citrate. In addition, the active substance-containing layer may contain further cosmetic additives, such as e.g. Minerals, plant extracts, etc. are added.

To protect against microbial attack preservatives are added to the effective solution. As preservatives are suitable according to the current regulation on cosmetic products approved substances such as benzoic acid and its derivatives, dehydroacetic acid, phenoxyethanol, etc.

Various drug systems with different compositions adapted to the different skin types, e.g. very dry skin, slightly greasy skin, etc. are introduced into the combination pads.

The active substance-containing layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm to 5 mm. Most suitable is a thickness between 0.1 mm and 1, 0 mm. At this thickness, the anti-aging agents used can best be entered into the skin by means of iontophoresis.

Finally, on the side facing the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask, there is a nonwoven fabric layer 60, through which moisture and active substances dissolved in suitable electrolytes can diffuse.

In FIG. 6, the side of the combination pad 120 facing away from the wearer's face is shown in plan view. Visible are the cover layer 90 and the electrical contact pad 100 between the electrode pad and the cosmetic mask.

FIG. 7 shows the bottom view of the combination pad 120. The illustration shows only the nonwoven fabric 60, which rests on the skin of the wearer of the cosmetic mask and is permeable to the anti-aging active substances present in the person as well as to water or electrolytic solution.

FIG. 8 shows in cross-section an alternative embodiment of a combination pad 121 that can be reversibly connected to the cosmetic mask. To avoid moisture penetration of the cosmetic mask, the combination pad 121 is provided with a water-impermeable cover layer 91 on the side facing away from the face of the wearer of the cosmetic mask. Underneath is a nonwoven fabric layer 71, which consists of an electrically conductive nonwoven. The electrically conductive fleece serves as electrode material for the iontophoresis and TENS. For electrical contacting is an electrically conductive Velcro 101st used, which is electrically connected to the nonwoven fabric 71. Since it is a combination pad, the electrically conductive nonwoven fabric 71 is additionally impregnated with the respectively desired active ingredients.

In this exemplary embodiment, therefore, the electrode layer and the active ingredient layer form one unit. The combination bath pad 121 consists of an electrically conductive nonwoven fabric 71 which is mixed with the respective desired active ingredients. As active ingredients are anti-aging agents such. Q 10 and / or hyaluronic acid and others are used in suitable electrolyte solutions of suitable pH. In addition, the active substance-containing layer may contain further cosmetic additives, such as e.g. Minerals, plant extracts, etc. are added.

For electrical contacting, the conductive fleece is provided with an electrically conductive Velcro fastener 101. The counterpart to the hook and loop fastener is located in the cosmetic mask at the locations where the combination pads 121 should be tied. On the side facing away from the wearer of the cosmetic mask, the fleece 71 is covered with a waterproof covering layer 91. Moistening the mask is prevented in this way.

Example 1: ionthophore

Electricity is used to introduce active ingredients into the skin. An alternating ion iontophoresis is used whose typical parameters of the publication Arch. Phys. Med. Rehabil., Vol. 76, May 1995. There, the parameters of the Lectro-Patch device are described specifically. For iontophoresis, no DC current is used, but a slower AC current, i. DC used with every minute changing polarity. On the one hand, this type of iontophoresis is distinguished by its effectiveness; on the other hand, electrochemical burns on the skin are avoided, whereby the treatment can be carried out over a longer period of time.

An alternating direct current with a period of 2 minutes and a strength of 0.075 mA / cm ² or 0.15 mA / cm ^{2 is} used. As active ingredients commercially available drug combinations are used (Mesoflux), the Hyaluronic acid, Q10, vitamins, mineral substances and / or various plant extracts.

Example 2: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

A transformer with the winding ratio of 1:10 is driven with a periodic series of 256 μs needle pulses at a distance of 4.61 ms, the direction of current flow through the transformer being always reversed at each successive pulse. This pattern is maintained for a duration of 1 s. This is followed by a pause of 0.5 s to 4.5 s. The tension, which can arise with skin contact, is depending on skin resistance 35 to 45 V.

Example 3: Combination Pad

The combination pads intended for use with the cosmetic mask according to the invention are packaged in waterproof films and are freed from the casing only shortly before use. Subsequently, the combination pad is connected via the electrical contact point with the cosmetic mask. For contacting, for example, special two-piece push buttons, which are designed so that a first part of the push button is on the top of the combination pad, the counterpart of the push button, however, is attached to the corresponding location of the mask. The cosmetic mask is designed so that the combination pads can be ideally placed in the designated areas on the forehead, on the cheeks and possibly on the neck.
