Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a device for cleaning skin pores and devices for cleaning skin pores of sebum, dirt and bacteria substances deposited therein, so-called white and black comedomas and their consequences in the form of pimples and blackheads.
  • a number of vacuum-based suction devices have become known, as described in the following documents: FR-26 26 179; U.S. 4,292,971; U.S. 4,900,316; U.S. 3,794,035; DE 26 11 721 B2; U.S. 4,609,368; DE-32 16 523 A1; AB-353 395; U.S. 722,019; US 948,005; U.S. 1,141,373; U.S. 1,225,244; US 2,571,398; U.S. 4,141,379; US 4,765,316, which is applicable to various Propose the suction of the skin and pore substances and be mentioned here as a technological background.
  • the object of the present invention is to offer a further improved and more effective, technical solution for cleaning skin pores, in particular for freeing the skin pores from blockages due to sebum deposits, comedomas, etc., and thereby reliably preventing any skin damage.
  • the procedural solution corresponds to the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the device solution corresponds to the characterizing features of claim 2 and claim 4.
  • suctioned skin areas are subjected to a mechanical pressure effect in the lower area of the raised skin area, which then causes the pore contents to be squeezed out effectively.
  • the pressure effect is preferably divided into short pressure pulses, the time and amplitude parameters of which are varied in such a way that an optimum effect can be combined with reliable properties with regard to preventing bruising.
  • suction cycle pressure pulses with an incomplete amplitude drop during a suction cycle, which are superimposed on the main pressure pulse.
  • These finer harmonics of the pressure force loosen the clamped system: skin-pore-sebum deposits-membrane-nozzle walls-pressure-carrying elements or media, and the hard substances to be pressed out of the pores "flow" better.
  • the suction nozzle which contains a plurality of suction openings in series, is preferably designed with two superimposed disks in such a way that a narrow gap is formed with suction openings arranged one above the other.
  • the narrow gap is connected to a channel and connected to a pressure generator, while the suction openings are connected to a vacuum generator.
  • negative pressure is used and sucks relaxed pressure medium from the narrow gap and at the same time pulls the skin into the suction openings, which in turn closes the narrow gap when the depth corresponding to the gap is reached (valve effect).
  • pressure is built up in the gap, which acts on the pores of the skin and the deposits fixed there squeezes out.
  • Compressed air which is controlled by an electromagnetically actuated valve, is preferably proposed as the pressure medium.
  • Liquid advantageously water
  • a hydraulic control unit being programmable in such a way that the loss of liquid which arises through the open suction openings is compensated for.
  • the invention proposes a mechanical solution in order to implement the pressure by means of moving parts.
  • a wealth of constructive solutions is conceivable here, two particularly advantageous constructions being presented here.
  • two pliers-like pressure pieces are connected to a unit by a hinge and the channel formed by both parts is connected to the suction unit by the control valve.
  • the movable pliers part is preferably driven by an electromagnet.
  • the shape and surface properties of the two pressure pieces are designed so that the skin treatment can be carried out as gently as possible: that is, the greatest possible surface contact with the skin areas to be treated for low surface pressure values, and rounded edges against skin marks. So that several smaller suction-pressure units can be realized with only one moving part, the pressure pieces are formed in length and divided with narrow inserts.
  • this construction allows the slit width between the two pressure pieces to be controlled, which allows adaptation to differently thick and elastic skin types.
  • a skin pore 6 with comedomas 3 in the sucked-in position in the suction opening 2 is shown in a greatly enlarged illustration in FIG.
  • the inner channel of the suction opening 2 is connected to a vacuum generator 9 together with other suction openings 2.
  • the nozzle body is composed of two spaced-apart disks 1, which form a delimited gap 4 between them, which encloses the suction openings 2 and is connected to a pressure generator (not shown) by means of channel 8.
  • a pressure pulse 7 is given in the gap 4 and encompasses the sucked-in skin area 5 the pore 6, if a pore 6 has just been caught, is pushed out.
  • the side effect that the suctioned skin area 5 from the nozzle at the same time due to the pressure loss is also beneficial slips and so the pressure effect also covers the skin areas passing by the gap 4.
  • the pressure medium in the gap 4, as well as the suction medium in the suction opening 2 can be compressed air or a liquid medium, in particular if an action with a harder slope is required.
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a suction-pressure nozzle with a plurality of suction openings 2 according to FIG. 1.
  • the annular groove 10 serves to fasten an elastic membrane 19.
  • FIG. 3 Another mechanical device is shown in FIG. 3, wherein the sucked-in skin area 5, 6 is pressed like a pair of pliers by two lips 14 surrounding and forming a suction chamber 13, a fixed jaw 16 and a movable jaw 12 with a predetermined pressure and movement path. The movement is initiated by the action of pressure 7 and pressure pin 11.
  • FIG. 4 shows an elongated suction-pressure nozzle which also has only one movable part, the jaw 12 which can be moved like a forceps.
  • the nozzle has separating sheets 15, which divide them into several discrete suction openings 2. This division into a plurality of discrete suction openings 2 brings advantages when using an elastic membrane 19 drawn over the nozzle, because this results in a vacuum distribution on all suction openings 2 is guaranteed even if one or more of them are not closed by skin contact.
  • FIG. 5 shows an advantageous further development of the construction according to FIGS. 3 and 4, two rows of suction openings 2 being formed here by using two movable parts 12a and 12b and the rigid fusion of the separating sheets to form a divider 15.
  • a possible advantageous embodiment with the staggered rows (not shown) of suction openings 2 and floating divider 15 is added.
  • Optimal exposure to the exclusion of skin damage is achieved by a suitable choice of the pressure amplitude, duration of the pressure exposure and resting phase and in the last described case with mechanical "pliers" by a limited adjustment path of the tong lips 14.
  • FIG. 6 shows, by way of example, an idealized control signal curve for the suction action 18 with the amplitude P 1 and pressure action 17 with the amplitude P H.
  • the period T is initiated by the start of the suction action 18, which here takes a certain amount of time due to the inclined edges.
  • a suction time t a the skin is drawn in and the pressure 17 is released. Both control signals remain active for the predetermined experimentally determined time, after which a rest phase for the time t r is initiated.
  • FIG. 7 shows an oscillation, preferably superimposed on the pressure action 17, which is represented by the amplitude difference (P H -P v ).
  • a construction developed according to the invention can, as a side effect, thoroughly massage the treated skin in a new way, which contributes positively to the supply of the skin cells with nutrients. If one considers that cosmetic skin cleansing is often desired by consumers, such a thorough skin massage would automatically be carried out with it every time, and the regularity would then lead to the expectation that the treatment would work and that the skin as a whole would remain healthy and vital for longer.
