Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beauty treatment device used for various beauty treatments including removal of aged skin cells on the skin surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called peeling treatment for mechanically or chemically removing a part of aged skin of the body has been performed. Such peeling treatment is effective for promoting the regeneration function of the skin, removing the cause of spots and dullness, and removing wrinkles and stretch marks, and is mainly performed for the purpose of beauty treatment such as facial treatment. ing.

That is, the keratin located at the top of the epidermis is
The cells newly formed by the basal cells at the bottom of the epidermis are pushed up to the top, and these cells are thawed and the internal keratohyalin is converted into keratin (keratohyalin metabolism), which are sequentially generated, and finally become scale-shaped. It becomes a square piece (red) and falls off from the epidermis. As described above, the skin originally has the ability to regenerate, and the cycle from the generation of epidermal cells to the exfoliation is called epidermal turnover.

If the above-mentioned turnover is not normally performed due to aging, ultraviolet irradiation, drying, stress, etc., stains, dullness, wrinkles, stretch marks, etc. tend to occur, and it is difficult to remove these. Become. Therefore, a treatment is carried out to mechanically or chemically remove the old keratin at the uppermost part of the epidermis to accelerate the skin regeneration function (turnover). Such a treatment that promotes the regenerating function of the skin is effective in removing spots, dullness, wrinkles, stretch marks, etc., and is also effective in preventing skin aging and preventing aging.

In such a skin regeneration promoting treatment,
Recently, attention has been paid to a mechanical (physical) treatment capable of locally treating the skin while causing less damage to the skin than a chemical treatment. As a device used for mechanical treatment, for example, in Registered Utility Model No. 3000144, a ceramic material (peeling chip) having a rough surface for removing keratin is fixed to a device body incorporating a motor with an eccentric rotor. A beauty treatment device is described. Here, a ceramic sintered body such as alumina, zirconia, or magnesia is used for the peeling tip.

[0006]

By the way, in the above-described mechanical regeneration promotion treatment of the skin, the peeling tip is subjected to a slight vibration (eg, an amplitude of about 0.01 to 10 μm) at a high frequency (eg, 1000 to 10000 times / min). ) Is becoming effective. In the mechanical treatment under such conditions, the peeling member that has been conventionally used for exfoliating the heel and polishing the nails will scrape the skin too much, so that not only uniform treatment cannot be performed. ,
There is a high risk of damaging the skin.

Further, even in the case of the release tip made of the ceramics sintered body described in the above publication, if the surface roughness is too large or the hardness is too high, the removal of calluses becomes uneven. I'm worried. Further, the treatment effect itself is reduced by simply smoothing the surface of the peeling tip. For this reason, for beauty treatment devices that use mechanical vibration, there is a strong demand for the development of beauty treatment chips (peeling chips) that are effective for treatment that promotes the skin's regeneration function by mechanical vibration. ing.

The apparatus for applying a vibration to the body to perform a beauty treatment is described, for example, in Registered Utility Model Nos. 3004388, 3041063 and JP-A-4-117965. However, the devices described in Registered Utility Model Nos. 3004388 and 3041063 are devices that mainly obtain a massage effect by applying vibration to the body. Further, the beauty treatment device described in JP-A-4-117965 is a device for applying ultrasonic vibration to the skin at the same time as applying electrical stimulation such as AC voltage to the skin,
No mention is made of a treatment for promoting the regeneration function of the skin.

The present invention has been made to address such a problem, and suppresses damage to the skin when performing a cosmetic treatment for promoting the regenerating function of the skin by applying mechanical vibration. Above, it aims at providing the beauty treatment device which enabled the effect of beauty treatment to be improved.

Here, in FIG. 3, a small DC motor 3 having an eccentric rotor 2 is installed in the main body 1 of the apparatus, and vibrations based on the rotation of the eccentric rotor 2 are transmitted to the beauty treatment chip 10 through the main body 1 of the apparatus. The processing unit is shown. Various mechanisms can be adopted as a mechanism for transmitting the vibration to the beauty treatment chip 10. For example, in the beauty treatment device shown in FIG. 4, the vibration transmission member 11 is filled in the cavity at the tip of the device main body 1, and the other end of the rotary shaft 3a on which the eccentric rotor 2 is mounted is fixed to the vibration transmission member 11.

Further, the vibration generated by the small DC motor 3 having the eccentric rotor 2 may be directly transmitted to the cosmetic treatment chip 10 without passing through the device body 1.

As described above, the vibration of the cosmetic treatment chip 10 is mainly in the front-back direction with respect to the reciprocating direction, especially the contact direction with the skin, and the vibration frequency at that time is 500 to 20000 times / min.
It is preferably in the range of. Also, beauty treatment chip 1
The amplitude of the reciprocating vibration of 0 is preferably in the range of 0.01 to 100 μm. By applying such microvibration to the cosmetic treatment chip 10, it is possible to uniformly and effectively remove a part of the aged skin cells and dirt on the skin surface without damaging the skin itself.

That is, when the cosmetic treatment chip 10 is subjected to rotational vibration or the like, the skin is locally and deeply shaved. Therefore, the vibration of the cosmetic treatment chip 10 is reciprocating vibration, especially in the front-back direction with respect to the skin direction. Reciprocating vibration. Such vibration has low damage to the skin and is excellent in removing aged corneum and dirt. Furthermore, by setting the frequency of the cosmetic treatment chip 10 to be high and reducing the amplitude, damage to the skin can be further reduced.

The frequency of the beauty treatment chip 10 is 500 times / min.
Or the amplitude of the beauty treatment chip 10 is 0.01 or less.
If it is less than μm, it is not possible to effectively remove aged skin cells and dirt on the skin surface. On the other hand, the frequency is 2000
If it exceeds 0 times / min or if the amplitude exceeds 100 μm, the skin may be stimulated too much. The frequency of the cosmetic treatment chip 10 is more preferably in the range of 2000 to 10000 times / min. Further, the amplitude of the cosmetic treatment chip 10 is more preferably set in the range of 0.05 to 10 μm. Such micro-vibration is particularly effective for removing aged keratin.

The cosmetic treatment chip 10 to which the slight vibration as described above is applied has abrasive grains having a grain size in the range of # 80 to # 800. In other words, the cosmetic treatment chip 10 is composed of abrasive grains having a grain size in the range of # 80 to # 800. Various kinds of hard or semi-hard abrasive particles can be used as the abrasive particles forming the beauty treatment chip 10, and it is particularly preferable to use ceramic abrasive particles. Examples of the ceramic abrasive grains include abrasive grains made of various ceramic materials such as alumina abrasive grains, zirconia abrasive grains, magnesia abrasive grains, spinel abrasive grains, silicon carbide abrasive grains, and boron nitride abrasive grains.

Among these ceramic abrasive grains, at least one selected from the group consisting of oxide ceramics having high safety for human bodies, that is, alumina abrasives, zirconia abrasives, magnesia abrasives and spinel abrasives. Is preferably used. In particular, alumina abrasive grains are excellent in safety, have low aggression against the human body, and have appropriate keratin and dirt removal performance on them,
It is suitable for the beauty treatment chip 10. Alumina abrasive grains are generally brown alumina (A), white alumina (WA), light pink alumina (PA), single crystal (crushed type)
Alumina (HA), alumina zirconia (AZ), etc. are used, but it is particularly preferable to use high-purity white alumina abrasive grains.

The ceramic abrasive grains having a grain size in the range of # 80 to # 800 are, for example, aged when the cosmetic treatment is performed by applying the above-described microvibration of small amplitude and high frequency to the cosmetic treatment chip 10. It shows an effective performance for removing dead skin and dirt. In other words, ceramic abrasive grains with a moderate particle size have less aggressiveness to the skin than ceramics sintered bodies, etc., and on top of that, effective and uniform removal performance by microvibration, that is, removal of aged keratin and dirt It shows the performance.

If the grain size of the ceramic abrasive grains is smaller than # 80, the surface roughness of the cosmetic treatment chip 10 using the grains may be too large, and the damage to the skin when slight vibration is applied may be increased. strong. On the other hand, if the grain size of the ceramic abrasive grains exceeds # 800, the ability to remove keratin and dirt deteriorates, and it becomes impossible to remove these uniformly and effectively. The grain size of the ceramic abrasive is more preferably in the range of # 240 to # 800, which can further reduce the damage to the skin, and # 240 to # which can further improve the removal performance. A range of 400 is desirable.

Here, the grain size of the abrasive grains including the ceramics abrasive grains is based on JIS R6001. The ceramic abrasive grains in the range of # 80 to # 220 have a grain size based on the sieving method in accordance with JIS R6002, and the ceramic abrasive grains in the range of # 240 to # 800 are the electrical resistance method in accordance with JIS R6002 and It has a particle size measured by the sedimentation test method. The particle size of the ceramic abrasive grains having each particle size is basically as shown in Table 1 (# 80 to # 220) and Table 2 (# 240 to # 80).
It is as shown in (0).

[Table 2]

A specific example of the beauty treatment chip 10 using the ceramic abrasive grains is a so-called vitrified grindstone in which the ceramic abrasive grains are bonded by a vitrified binder. The vitrified grindstone is prepared by mixing ceramic abrasive grains with a vitrified bond and molding the mixture into a desired chip shape.
It is produced by firing at a temperature of 50 ° C. Examples of the vitrified binder include SiO ₂ and Al ₂ O ₃
In addition, a binder containing MgO, CaO, K ₂ O, and other components as necessary is used, and the mixing amount thereof is appropriately adjusted. Specifically, it is preferable to set the type and mixing amount of the vitrified binder so that the degree of bonding (grinding stone hardness) of the grindstone is in the range of A to K.

In producing the vitrified grindstone, it is preferable that the ceramics abrasive grains are previously subjected to an acid treatment using an acid solution such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid or a mixed acid thereof. By acid-treating the ceramic abrasive grains, the safety (disinfection effect) of the abrasive grains themselves can be enhanced, and sharp protrusions on the surface of the abrasive grains can be smoothed to a certain extent, which can attack the skin. It is possible to further reduce the sex. This is effective in enhancing the safety of the beauty treatment using the beauty treatment chip 10.

For binding and holding the ceramic abrasive grains, a binder other than a vitrified binder such as a rubber-based binder, a resin-based binder, a glass-based binder or a metal-based binder may be used. Good. For the cosmetic treatment chip 10, a chip-shaped grindstone in which the abrasive grains are bonded by various binders can be used so that the abrasive grains can maintain the chip shape. Among these grindstones, the grindstone using a vitrified binder (Vitrified grindstone) has appropriate surface roughness and hardness (grinding stone bond), so the efficiency and safety of skin regeneration promotion treatment and stain removal treatment are high. It is effective for improving sex.

As a concrete configuration example (Example 1) of the above-mentioned cosmetic treatment chip 10, white alumina abrasive grains having a grain size of # 320 are used with a vitrified bonding agent so that the degree of grindstone coupling (grinding stone hardness) becomes F. An example is a vitrified grindstone bonded to and held by. The beauty treatment chip 10 made of this vitrified grindstone was attached to the apparatus main body 1 and the following evaluation test was performed. The vibration of the beauty treatment chip 10
The vibration was mainly reciprocal in the front-back direction with respect to the skin direction, the vibration frequency was about 6000 times / min (motor rotation speed 6000 rpm), and the amplitude was about 0.4 μm.

The evaluation test was carried out by first preparing an evaluation sample imitating the skin of a human body, and moving the cosmetic treatment chip 10 while vibrating it while closely contacting it with the surface of the evaluation sample under the above-mentioned conditions. As a result of observing the surface condition of the evaluation sample after the test, only the portions corresponding to aged corneum and dirt on the surface of the sample were uniformly removed, and no peeling marks were observed in the underlying tissue. From this evaluation result, it was confirmed that the beauty treatment device of the present invention is effective for the skin regeneration promotion treatment and the stain removal treatment. Moreover, it was confirmed that when the skin of the subject was actually subjected to a skin regeneration promoting treatment, a good effect was obtained.

On the other hand, as a comparative example with the present invention, the grain size is #
A beauty treatment tip made of a vitrified grindstone (Comparative Example 1) and a beauty treatment tip made of an alumina sintered body (Comparative Example 2) were produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 60 silicon carbide abrasive grains were used. When the same evaluation test as in Example 1 was carried out, it was confirmed that in the chip of Comparative Example 1, not only the portion corresponding to the keratin on the sample surface, but also a part of the underlying tissue was peeled off. Moreover, the peeling state of the part corresponding to the keratin was non-uniform. When the chip of Comparative Example 2 was used, the sample surface tended to be slightly unevenly removed.

According to the beauty treatment device of the above-described embodiment, the beauty treatment chip 10 has abrasive grains having a grain size in the range of # 80 to # 800, particularly ceramics abrasive grains (further, alumina abrasive grains).
As a result, the keratin and dirt on the skin surface can be removed uniformly and efficiently without damaging the skin. That is, it becomes possible to effectively and safely carry out the skin regeneration promoting treatment by applying mechanical vibration. In particular, since alumina abrasive grains are highly safe for humans and have low aggression,
For example, the skin regeneration promoting process can be safely performed even when the user's skin quality is weak or the skin is sensitive.

As described above, the beauty treatment device of the above-mentioned embodiment is used to uniformly remove a part of the keratin on the skin surface over the entire skin surface, thereby activating the skin turnover function. That is, the skin renewal cycle is accelerated, so that, for example, skin spots and dullness caused by retention of old keratin can be removed. Further, since the old skin is clogged in the epidermis at the wrinkles and stretch marks, it is possible to relax the wrinkles and stretch marks by removing the old skin and stimulating the surrounding cells. By repeating such processing, it becomes possible to reproduce smooth skin.

Further, the regenerating function of the skin is enhanced by expanding the capillaries based on the slight vibration of the beauty treatment chip 10 to promote the blood flow (nutrition supply) and the lymph flow (excretion of waste products). Therefore, it is possible to prevent or prevent skin aging. As described above, the beauty treatment device of this embodiment brings a great effect to beauty treatment such as skin beautification treatment. The beauty treatment device is particularly suitable for facial treatment, but is not limited to this, and can be used for treating the skin of various parts of the body.

In the above-described embodiment, the beauty treatment chip 10 using only the ceramics abrasive grains has been described, but it is also effective to mix the scrubbing agent used for various facial cleansers with the ceramics abrasive grains, for example. Target. The scrubbing agent at this time is preferably selected in consideration of the bonding temperature of the ceramic abrasive grains (grinding stone firing temperature), and for example, a synthetic inorganic scrubbing agent such as silica or calcium carbonate is used. In addition, a natural (animal-based) scrubbing agent or the like can be used depending on the case.

It is also effective to apply or impregnate the cosmetic treatment chip 10 with a cosmetic liquid such as a facial liquid or a moisturizing liquid, or collagen in advance. Depending on the particle size, collagen beads or the like may be incorporated in the cosmetic treatment chip 10. In such a case, it is advisable to make the grinding stone made of ceramics abrasive grains porous and impregnate the pores thereof with a cosmetic liquid or collagen. These can be replenished and used at any time. It is also effective to use the beauty treatment chip coated or impregnated with a beauty essence or the like together with the beauty treatment chip 10 made of ceramic abrasive grains alone. In such a case, a structure in which a plurality of tip holding mechanisms are provided in the beauty treatment device and a plurality of beauty treatment chips corresponding to each processing are held by the plurality of tip holding mechanisms is adopted.

FIG. 5 is a front view showing a configuration example of a beauty treatment device using a plurality of beauty treatment chips. The same parts as those of the beauty treatment device of the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be partially omitted. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the beauty treatment apparatus of this embodiment also has a vibration generating means such as a motor having an eccentric rotor built in the apparatus body 1 as in the above-described embodiments. A plurality of tip holding mechanisms 21 and 22 are provided at the tip portion of the apparatus body 1 as tip connecting portions. FIG. 5 shows a beauty treatment device having two tip holding mechanisms 21 and 22. The specific configurations of the tip holding mechanisms 21 and 22 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment.

As the first beauty treatment tip, the first tip holding mechanism 21 holds the same beauty treatment tip 10 as in the above-described embodiment, that is, the beauty treatment tip 10 for removing aged keratin and dirt. Has been done. on the other hand,
The second chip fixing mechanism 22 includes the first chip holding mechanism 2
Although the beauty treatment chip 10 similar to that of 1 may be arranged, for example, by holding the beauty treatment chip 20 impregnated with the beauty treatment agent or the like as the second beauty treatment chip,
It is possible to carry out a plurality of beauty treatments simultaneously or sequentially by one beauty treatment device. The beauty treatment chip 10 has a particle size of # 80 to # 80 as in the above-described embodiment.
A beauty treatment chip configured by using abrasive grains in the range of 0 can be used, and in some cases, a chip made of a ceramic sintered body can be applied.

A specific example of the second cosmetic treatment chip 20 is a cosmetic treatment chip obtained by impregnating various kinds of cosmetic treatment agents into a porous base material which maintains the shape of the chip. The beauty treatment chip 20 is vibrated with the above-described frequency and amplitude, and the beauty treatment chip 20 in the state of being vibrated is brought into contact with the skin surface of the user, so that the beauty treatment chip 20 is It is possible to carry out a beauty treatment in which the included beauty treatment agent penetrates into the body. The beauty treatment agent exudes from the beauty treatment tip 20 due to vibration and impact upon contact (putting) with the skin, and the beauty treatment agent exuded is permeated into the skin by the vibration of the tip 20.

As the porous body used as the base material of the cosmetic treatment chip 20, a porous base material made of various materials can be used as long as it can hold the cosmetic treatment agent and is safe for the human body. You can The holding of the cosmetic treatment agent here does not indicate a state in which the cosmetic treatment agent is completely confined in the porous base material, but a part of the cosmetic treatment agent is used depending on the usage form of the cosmetic treatment chip 20. It includes a state in which the water naturally exudes or a state in which the water seeps out. Further, the porous base material is not limited to the material that holds the cosmetic treatment agent in its pores, but may be a material that absorbs the cosmetic treatment agent in addition to holding it in the pores.

The porosity (porosity) of the porous base material can be appropriately set according to the type of the cosmetic treatment agent and the intended cosmetic treatment conditions, as long as it has handling strength. it can. Since the impregnated amount of the cosmetic treatment agent varies depending on the material of the porous base material, it is preferable to set the porosity in consideration of these conditions. Further, the hardness and strength of the porous base material can be appropriately set according to the beauty treatment conditions, the target site of the beauty treatment, and the like. For example, to increase the exudation amount (penetration amount into the body) of the beauty treatment agent,
The hardness and strength may be such that the porous base material is gradually worn, or conversely, the hardness and strength may be such that the porous base material is not damaged.

Specific examples of the above-mentioned porous substrate include porous ceramics, porous resin (for example, foamed resin), porous rubber (for example, foamed rubber) and the like. Other than these, porous materials of various materials can be used as long as they have safety according to beauty treatment conditions, retention of beauty treatment agents, exudation properties, and the like. Examples of the porous ceramics include a porous sintered body of a ceramic material and a porous bonded body of a ceramic material. By controlling the sintering conditions, the type of binder, and other conditions, it is relatively easy to obtain a porous substrate having various porosity (pore amount), hardness, strength, etc. You can Porous ceramics are suitable for the porous base material of the cosmetic treatment chip 20, and the same ceramic material (particles) as the above-mentioned cosmetic treatment chip 10 is used as the constituent material.

The porous sintered body of the ceramic material can be obtained by appropriately selecting the compounding amount of the resin binder component and the sintering condition when manufacturing the molded body. further,
It is also possible to control conditions such as hardness and porosity of the porous sintered body itself. Examples of the porous bonded body of the ceramic material include a porous body in which ceramic particles (powder) are bonded with a vitrified binder or the like. Such a bonded body is produced by mixing ceramic powder with a vitrified binder, molding the mixture into a desired chip shape, and then firing the mixture at a temperature of, for example, about 1200 to 1350 ° C.
