At this time, the pad portion 90 covers at least a part of the orbicularis muscle M5 and the upper lip muscle M6 as well as the orbicularis muscle M1, the large zygomatic muscle M3 and the cheek muscle M4 (see FIG. 6). Thereby, the stimulus from the electrode 20 can be applied to the face over a much wider range.

した As described above, according to the

facial treatment devices

1, 2, and 3, the pad portion 10 is provided with the plurality of electrodes 20. Therefore, when a voltage is applied from the power supply unit 30 to the electrode 20 while the pad unit 10 is mounted on the user's face, electrical stimulation can be applied to the muscles of the user's face. Thereby, a fatigue recovery effect and a slimming effect can be given to the face of the user, and the user can be provided with beauty. In addition, by continuously using it habitually, muscle mass is increased, and blood circulation is promoted, so that a tightening effect and a beautiful skin effect can be exhibited.

The pad 10 covers the user's cheek and its periphery. Therefore, when the pad section 10 is worn on the face of the user, the pad section 10 does not entirely cover the face of the user. Thereby, since the facial treatment device 1 covers only a part of the face, discomfort at the time of use can be suppressed, and the user can use the device while having fun.

In addition, in the facial beauty device 1 according to the first embodiment, the pad portion 10 has a circular shape, and the pair of left and right pad portions 10 is connected to each other by the connecting portion 5 having the power supply unit 30. For this reason, the appearance of the pad portion 10 is improved, and the pair of pad portions 10 are connected to each other by the connecting portion 5, so that the handleability of the facial beauty device 1 can be improved.

In addition, in the facial beauty device 2 according to the second embodiment, the pad portion 10 has a shape extending in different directions from the base portion 11 toward the distal end portion 12. For this reason, when the pad unit 10 is mounted on the user's face, a space is formed between the plurality of distal ends 12 of the pad unit 10 so that the pad unit 10 can protect the user's face. There is no overall coating.

In addition, since the power supply unit 30 is attached to the base 11 of the pad unit 10, the bias in weight balance is less than that of a configuration in which the power supply unit 30 is attached to the tip 12 of the pad unit 10. Can be reduced. This makes it possible to prevent the pad portion 10 from coming off the face when the beauty device 2 is worn on the face.

The pad portion 10 includes an arc-shaped pad 13 extending in a substantially arc shape passing through the base portion 11, and an intermediate pad 14 extending from the base portion 11 toward the inside of the arc of the arc-shaped pad 13.
Therefore, when the pad portion 10 is mounted on the cheekbone portion B1 of the user's face such that the base portion 11 of the pad portion 10 is located, the upper pad 13A of the arc-shaped pad 13 extending upward from the base portion 11 is formed. , And extends between the orbicularis muscle M1 and the temporal muscle M2.
At this time, the lower pad 13B of the arc-shaped pad 13 extending downward from the base 11 extends along the large zygomatic muscle M3 toward the cheek muscle M4 and the orbicularis muscle M5. Also, at this time, the intermediate pad 14 extends toward the upper lip muscle M6 along the orbicularis muscle M1.

As a result, electrical stimulation is applied to the orbicularis muscle M1, temporal muscle M2, large zygomatic muscle M3, upper lip muscle M6, orbicularis muscle M5, and cheek muscle M4, which greatly affect the impression of the facial expression. By acting effectively, each muscle is tightened and a lift-up effect can be obtained. That is, for example, as compared to a configuration in which a randomly selected part of the face is vaguely stimulated, the facial beauty device 2 can be provided to beauty more effectively.

Further, since the pad portion 10 is integrally formed of a synthetic compound, the pad portion 10 can be reduced in weight and can be manufactured at low cost by, for example, injection molding.
In addition, by using a silicon material among the synthetic compounds, it is possible to reduce the burden on the skin and the environmental load of the user.

Further, the facial beauty device 2 includes an operation unit 50 for inputting a voltage value applied to the electrode 20, and a control unit 40 for controlling the power supply unit 30 based on the voltage value input to the operation unit 50. I have. Therefore, it is possible to change the magnitude of the voltage or change the frequency of the voltage according to the needs of the user. This makes it possible to make the specifications suitable for a wide range of users by diversifying the stimulation applied to the facial muscles by the facial beauty device 2.
In addition, since the facial beauty device 2 includes the wireless communication unit 60, the operation unit 50 can be provided separately from the power supply unit 30, and the power supply unit 30 can be reduced in size and weight.

The beauty unit 100 according to this embodiment includes a recording unit 70 that records the history of the voltage value applied to the electrode 20, and a history display unit 71 that displays the history.

For this reason, it is possible to shift to the training mode after sufficiently relaxing the muscles in the warming-up mode without suddenly giving a great stimulus to the delicate facial muscles.

Also, after the training mode, the facial stimulation device 3 is operated in the cooling down mode instead of immediately eliminating the stimulus, so that the training mode can promote the exhaustion of the fatigue substances generated in the muscles. Thereby, the occurrence of swelling on the face due to the use of the beauty treatment device 3 can be suppressed.

In addition, in the warming-up mode, the frequency of the voltage applied to the electrode 20 is equal to the frequency of the voltage applied to the electrode 20 in the cooling-down mode. Thus, the voltage pattern generated by the power supply unit 30 can be reduced, and the configuration of the power supply unit 30 can be simplified.

{Circle around (2)} In the warming-up mode, the frequency of the voltage applied to the electrode 20 is less than half the frequency of the electrode 20 applied to the electrode 20 in the training mode. Thereby, the difference between the warming-up mode, the cooling-down mode, and the training mode is remarkable, and the effects of the respective driving modes can be reliably achieved.
