Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a direct current (galvanic current) applied to a probe head to be brought into conductive contact with the skin.
The present invention relates to a beautiful skin beauty probe that performs beautiful skin treatment by flowing water.

[0002]

When a galvanic current is applied to the skin, water and salts on the surface of the skin are decomposed by electrolysis to generate ions, which have the effect of penetrating water-soluble products into the skin.

[0003] Galvanic current is a direct current safely rectified to a low voltage and has two polarities, an anode (+) and a cathode (-). The anode causes an acidic reaction in the skin, calms the nerves, reduces blood circulation, tightens tissue and closes pores. For this reason, the anode is used for closing pores after facial treatment, preventing inflammation after acne or wound treatment, and for penetrating an acidic solution such as astringent into the skin.

On the other hand, the cathode causes an alkaline reaction to the skin, stimulates nerves, stimulates blood circulation, softens tissue and opens pores. Therefore, it is used when stimulating blood circulation to dry skin or when penetrating the skin with an alkaline solution such as a lotion that separates fatty acids from the epidermis.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to further enhance the penetration effect of the galvanic current by simultaneously supplying a solution that penetrates the skin when the galvanic current flows.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a direct current flows from the head surface of the probe to the skin,
This is a beautiful skin beauty probe formed by projecting a water-retaining elastic body from the head surface. The invention according to claim 2 is the beautiful skin cosmetic probe according to claim 1, wherein the head is covered with a cap having a through hole, and a space between the cap and the head is filled with the elastic body. The invention according to claim 3 is the beautiful skin cosmetic probe according to claim 1, wherein a recess is formed in the head surface, and the recess is filled with the elastic body. The invention of claim 4 is
2. The beautiful skin beauty probe according to claim 1, wherein a head is formed by the elastic body, and an electrode for flowing a direct current to the skin is embedded in the head. The invention according to claim 5 is the beautiful skin beauty probe according to claim 1, characterized in that the elastic body is impregnated with a lotion containing a nutritional component having a beautiful skin effect. The invention according to claim 6 is characterized in that the elastic body is impregnated with an acidic solution such as astringent.
It is a beautiful skin beauty probe of the description. The invention according to claim 7 is the beautiful skin cosmetic probe according to claim 1, wherein the elastic body is impregnated with an alkaline solution such as a lotion. The invention according to claim 8 is configured so that the polarity of the DC current to be passed from the head surface to the skin can be switched.
It is a beautiful skin beauty probe of the description. A ninth aspect of the present invention is the beautiful skin cosmetic probe according to the first aspect, wherein the head is provided with a detecting means for detecting contact with the skin to turn on / off a DC current to be passed through the skin.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a front view and a partially cut-away side view of a skin beauty probe embodying the present invention. The beautiful skin beauty probe 1 has a head 3 protruding from the front of a case 2, covers the head 3 with a cap 4 having a through hole a, and fills a space between the cap 4 and the head 3 with a sponge 5.
At this time, the top surface of the cap 4 presses the sponge 5 to push out the end surface of the sponge 5 facing the through hole a. A screw screw b is formed on the outer periphery of the head 3, and the cap 4 is attached by engaging the screw screw b. In addition, the case 2 has an LED lamp 6 and a push switch 7 on the front and a grip electrode 8 on the rear.

The head 3 is, as shown in FIG.
One or several recesses 9 may be drilled in the surface to fill the sponge 5 therein. Alternatively, as shown in FIG.
The surface of the head 3 may be formed by a sponge 5, and one or several electrode columns 10 penetrating the sponge 5 and conducting to the base of the head 3 may be planted.

The cap 4 comprises a head 3 and a push switch 7
To a DC power supply (not shown) via a thin metal plate such as a flexible and elastic thin stainless steel plate or a hard aluminum, duralumin, or thin copper plate, and subjected to a surface treatment such as hard chrome plating.

The grip electrode 8 is connected to a DC power supply (not shown) via the push switch 7 to bond an aluminum base to an insulating base or coat a conductive carbon ink on the surface of a urethane resin. Or, it is formed of conductive rubber or silicon (rubber or silicon mixed with metal powder).

In the LED lamp 6, red and green LED chips are put in one lamp, and one or both of them are turned on simultaneously to emit red, green, yellow or orange (amber) three colors. Use what you can.

The power of the push switch 7 is turned on at the first long on (1.5 seconds), and the polarity of the current is switched at the next on. Thereafter, each time the switch is pressed once, the polarity of the current is alternately switched, and the power is turned off at the last long on. At this time, the emission color of the LED lamp 6 changes according to the polarity of the current.

To turn on / off the DC power supply, a pressure switch for detecting contact with the skin is attached to the head 3 and the head 3
The power may be turned on when the cap 4 put on the skin comes into contact with the skin, and turned off when the cap 4 is removed.

The skin beauty probe according to the present invention is configured as described above. When performing a treatment, first, the cap 4 is removed, a sponge 5 impregnated with a solution such as a lotion is inserted, and the cap 4 is attached to the head 3. Put on. Next, the case 2 is gripped while the grip electrode 8 is in contact with the hand, and the top surface of the cap 4 is lightly pressed at right angles to the skin surface.
At this time, a part of the sponge 5 protruding from the top surface of the cap 4 touches the skin, and the solution adheres to the skin surface. After this,
When the push switch 7 is turned on, the probe is moved along the skin surface so as to slowly draw a circle. As a result, a DC current of 0.3 to 0.7 mA for performing galvanic electrolysis flows between the cap 4 and the grip electrode 8, decomposes water and salt on the skin surface to generate ions, and these ions are regenerated. Combine to form an alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide. Then, these alkaline solutions stimulate the skin to open pores, allow the solution to penetrate the skin, and sterilize the skin surface.

[0017]

As described above, the skin beauty probe of the present invention allows a direct current to flow through the skin from the head surface of the probe, and protrudes the water-retaining elastic body from the head surface. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the elastic body protruding from the head surface is impregnated with a solution such as a lotion and applied to the skin, the solution moistens the skin surface, so that the movement of the head is smooth and included in the solution. The active ingredient that permeates the skin can further enhance the beautiful skin effect of the galvanic current.
