<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cosmetic equipment for efficient skin improvement by improving the activity of fibrocyte in skin to produce much collagen and elastin. <P>SOLUTION: The cosmetic equipment is composed of a physical stimulation means 1 for physically stimulating living skin and a main body 2 of the cosmetic equipment for operating the physical stimulating means 1, and the physical stimulation means 1 is pushed on a necessary region which needs skin improvement, and so fibrocyte existing in skin is stimulated and activated, and it promotes the production of collagen and elastin. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic device for applying physical stimulation from the skin surface to improve the skin condition.

In general, this type of beauty device gives physical stimulation such as heat to the skin, increases blood flow in the body, increases the moisture retention amount on the skin surface, and gives the effect of removing skin wrinkles and so on. (Patent Document 1)
On the other hand, research on anti-aging has recently progressed, and it has been elucidated that collagen fibers and the like existing in the skin dermis layer influence skin wrinkles and elasticity. Research is underway to improve the elasticity and elasticity.
Japanese National Patent Publication No. 11-504828

  This invention is providing the beauty device which improves the activity of the fibroblast in skin in order to produce many collagen and estilan, and performs efficient skin improvement.

  In order to solve the above problems, physical stimulation means for physically stimulating the skin of a living body is provided to promote the production of collagen and elastin by fibroblasts present in the skin.

  Therefore, in the cosmetic device of the present invention, physical stimulation can be given to the fibroblasts present in the skin, the fibroblast activity can be improved, and the production of collagen and estilan can be promoted efficiently. Can improve skin.

  1 and 2 show a beauty machine that is one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration of a beauty device, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a beauty device body.

  The cosmetic device of this embodiment is provided with physical stimulation means for physically stimulating the skin of a living body, and promotes the production of collagen and elastin by fibroblasts present in the skin.

  The beauty device includes a physical stimulation means 1 that gives physical stimulation to the skin and a beauty equipment body 2 that operates the physical stimulation means 1. The beauty device body 2 includes a physical stimulation means 1 such as an ultrasonic irradiation unit, a low frequency electrode unit, a heat transfer unit, and a light irradiation unit, and a physical stimulation generation circuit for generating physical stimulation (ultrasonic oscillation circuit, low frequency generation) A circuit, a heat generation circuit, and an optical wavelength oscillation circuit), a control circuit for controlling the physical stimulus generation circuit, and a power supply unit for supplying electric power. In FIG. 2, the apparatus has all the physical stimulation means described above, but a single or combination configuration may be used, and accordingly, the physical stimulation generation circuit is the same.

  In the case where the physical stimulation means 1 is thermal stimulation, heat from 35 to 45 ° C. is generated under the control of the beauty device body 2, and the physical stimulation means 1 is applied to the site that requires skin improvement to cause thermal stimulation. give.

  FIG. 3 shows collagen after the end of a period of 10 mice (thermal group) given thermal stimulation (40 ° C.) for 5 minutes per day for 4 weeks and 10 mice not receiving heat (control group). It is the result of measuring the quantity. It can be seen that the amount of collagen is significantly increased in the heat group.

  Therefore, this thermal stimulation stimulates and activates fibroblasts present in the skin and promotes the production of collagen and estilan, thereby improving the skin.

  In addition, as a physical stimulation means, in other thermal stimulation, when irradiated with light of wavelengths in the near infrared region and the far infrared region, the irradiated light becomes heat in the skin, and the fiber buds present in the skin What activates a cell and accelerates | stimulates production of collagen and estilan, and what promotes production of collagen and estilan by making steam act on skin may be used.

  Further, vibration stimulation such as ultrasonic waves may be used as the physical stimulation means. This ultrasonic stimulation activates fibroblasts existing in the skin by, for example, ultrasonic vibration applied to the skin under conditions of 0.2 to 5 MHz and 0.1 to 2 W / cm 2, so that collagen and estilan Promote production.

  Further, the physical stimulation means may be electrical stimulation with low frequency. This low-frequency electrical stimulation activates fibroblasts present in the skin and promotes the production of collagen and estilan by low-frequency stimulation applied to the skin under conditions of 0.2 to 5000 Hz, 10 μA to 10 mA. .

  Other physical stimulation means that generate negative ions may be used. This negative ion activates fibroblasts present in the skin and promotes the production of collagen and estilan.

  FIG. 4 shows a beauty device which is another embodiment of the present invention. In the cosmetic device of this embodiment, an ultrasonic irradiator 5 that applies ultrasonic waves to the skin as the physical stimulation means 1 and an auxiliary medium 3 inserted between the skin and the physical stimulation means. Other configurations are the same as those in FIG.

This auxiliary medium 3 is for preventing the ultrasonic waves from being attenuated, and efficiently transmits the ultrasonic waves to the skin.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the beauty equipment which is one Embodiment of this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the beauty equipment of the embodiment. It is a graph which shows the experimental result by the beauty equipment of the embodiment. It is a whole perspective view which shows the beauty device which is other embodiment of this invention.
