Description

  The present invention relates to a beauty device that gives a predetermined beauty effect to a user's skin, and more particularly to a device that gives a beauty effect by light irradiation. Note that the term “skin” used in conjunction with “skin” as a target for providing a cosmetic effect in the present invention is treated as synonymous with “skin” on the body surface layer including not only the body surface but also subcutaneous tissue such as subcutaneous fat. Yes.

  Beauty devices that perform various operations related to predetermined beauty and skin beautification on the skin (skin) of the user's face, etc., are simple functions that are used at home and those that are low output, and are multifunctional that are used for business purposes. Various types are used, including those with high output. Among these beauty devices, the simple ones used at home include those that cool or heat the skin, those that apply suction to the skin, those that apply steam or mist to the skin, and light that irradiates the skin. In general, those that transmit ultrasonic vibrations to the skin, and those that perform iontophoresis by passing a weak current through the skin are commonly used.

  Among these, beauty devices that irradiate the user's skin with light of a predetermined wavelength to activate the skin, reduce stains, sterilize, etc. have been widely used in the past, and such conventional beauty devices As an example, there are those disclosed in JP-A-2005-125075 and JP-A-2007-330690.

  This conventional beauty device uses a light emitting diode (LED) whose irradiation intensity is smaller than that of a laser as a light source.

JP 2005-125075 A JP 2007-330690 A

  The conventional beauty device has a configuration shown in the above-mentioned patent document, and in such a device, it is said that the effect on the skin is produced by irradiating visible light or near infrared ray. It is not clear whether the effect on the skin is actually obtained, and it is highly possible that the effect is caused by other functions including near infrared irradiation. It had the subject that it was arrange | positioned with the objective requested | required and it cannot be said that it is performing irradiation. In particular, light other than visible light such as infrared rays cannot be recognized by the eyes, and since there is a high risk of seriously affecting the eyes, in order to show that they are irradiated, There are many cases where visible light is irradiated at the same time, and in the past, visible light had to be regarded as being used as a display for indicating the irradiation state of such infrared rays and as a simple decoration for recalling the effect. .

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and based on the knowledge about the cosmetic effect on the skin of visible light having a predetermined wavelength and a predetermined irradiation intensity, the light corresponding to the wavelength region where the cosmetic effect has been confirmed ( The purpose is to provide a beauty device that can irradiate with the appropriate combination of red area and yellow area), effectively exhibit the maximum beauty effect on the skin, and make both visible lights sufficiently visible. To do.

  A cosmetic device according to the present invention is a cosmetic device that performs a predetermined cosmetic operation on a user's skin, a first irradiation unit that irradiates visible light in a red region, and a second irradiation that irradiates visible light in a yellow region. And a control unit that adjusts and controls the irradiation state of light from each of the irradiation units, and the control unit emits light from one irradiation unit substantially continuously and emits light from the other irradiation unit. It is intended to irradiate intermittently.

  Thus, according to the present invention, regarding the irradiation of visible light to the skin, when the applicant irradiates the skin with visible light in the red region or yellow region, the present inventors have found an event that activates skin cells. In addition, when irradiating multiple types of visible light effective for cell activity, it is possible to visually express that multiple visible light is acting on the user, and it can be given a great cosmetic effect in combination with psychological effects .

  In addition, in the beauty device according to the present invention, the control unit irradiates light from one irradiation unit at a predetermined irradiation intensity substantially continuously without changing the apparent brightness as needed, and the other irradiation. The brightness of the appearance is changed periodically without changing the irradiation intensity.

  This is based on the fact that the applicant has found that the cosmetic effect of light irradiation is related not only to the frequency but also to the intensity of the irradiation. Thus, according to the present invention, red or yellow color is emitted from each irradiation unit. While irradiating each light to the skin, the visible light is controlled at a predetermined irradiation intensity and visually so that one irradiation light is substantially continuous and the other irradiation light is periodically irradiated. As a result, it is possible to visually express that a plurality of visible lights are acting on the user while maintaining a predetermined irradiation intensity that is considered to be optimal for each visible light.

  In this claim, the type of irradiation light is not limited, but it is also desirable to limit the irradiation to only yellow light in particular. This is because it was experimentally found that periodic irradiation of yellow light while red light is continuously irradiated can most appeal the presence of both.

  In addition, the cosmetic device according to the present invention performs the periodic irradiation of the visible light by pulse width control using an LED, if necessary.

  According to this, while maintaining the predetermined irradiation intensity by changing the ratio of the peak (actual irradiation period) and the valley (irradiation interruption period) little by little while keeping the height of the pulse constant, the light amount (apparent brightness) The amount of light gradually changes due to the transition between the irradiation period and the non-irradiation period while maintaining the beauty effect, and the user looks at the light with a gentle change in light. I can suppress the feeling of irritation when I watch it.

  In addition, the beauty device according to the present invention includes a third irradiation unit that irradiates near-infrared light as necessary, and the control unit irradiates light from the third irradiation unit with a predetermined irradiation intensity. is there.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the first and second irradiation units emit the visible light, the third irradiation unit irradiates the near infrared light, and the skin also irradiates the near infrared light together with the visible light. By receiving, near infrared rays that can reach a predetermined depth inside the skin bring further activation to the skin, and it is possible to surely give a cosmetic effect to the skin together with the effect by visible light.

  Further, in the beauty device according to the present invention, as necessary, the irradiation units are arranged in a concentrated state in a close state, and a pair of electrodes are arranged with a predetermined interval between the irradiation units. The control unit controls the energization state between the pair of electrodes.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a pair of electrodes are disposed across each irradiation unit, and when the skin is irradiated with light by each irradiation unit, The skin is energized between the electrodes through the skin of the part, and the skin also has a cosmetic effect that accompanies the energization, so that the skin can be stimulated by light irradiation and energization at the same time, giving the skin an efficient cosmetic effect. The execution of energization and light irradiation requires only that the paired electrodes are brought into contact with the skin, and an excellent cosmetic effect can be easily obtained.

  Further, the beauty device according to the present invention includes a tilting arm portion that supports each of the irradiation units and the electrodes and is disposed so as to be tiltable with respect to a main body portion held by a user, if necessary. The direction of each said irradiation part and an electrode is adjustable with respect to a part.

  As described above, according to the present invention, each irradiation unit and the electrode are disposed on the tilting arm unit that is tilted with respect to the portion of the user, and the degree of freedom in adjusting the direction of each irradiation unit and the electrode is increased. Adjust the direction of each irradiation part and the electrode to the skin part you want to irradiate, etc., and make each irradiation part etc. face the target part more securely, so that the original effect such as light irradiation can be demonstrated correctly Since the positional relationship between the main body portion and the tilting arm portion can be adjusted, the posture of the user with the device can be continued without difficulty, and the usability can be greatly improved.

  Hereinafter, a beauty apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In each of the drawings, the cosmetic device 1 according to the present embodiment is used for a cosmetic operation such as ion introduction to the skin (skin) 50, which is disposed at the tip of the main body 11 and the main body 11 held by the user. The head unit 12, the tilting arm unit 13 that is tiltably disposed at a predetermined site in the vicinity of the head unit 12 in the main body unit 11, and each irradiation unit 14 that is attached to the tilting arm unit 13 and emits light of a predetermined wavelength. 15, 16, a pair of roller electrodes 17, 18 disposed so as to be rotatable at the tip of the tilting arm portion 13 so as to sandwich the respective irradiation portions 14, 15, 16, and energization and irradiation to each electrode It is a structure provided with the control part 19 which controls irradiation of the light in the part 15. FIG.

  The main body 11 has the head portion 12 disposed at one end, and a grip portion 11a that is held and held by a user during use at the other end. The longitudinal direction of the grip portion 11a And the front direction of the head portion 12 are formed in a shape inclined by a predetermined angle, and an electric circuit such as the control portion 19 and a battery (not shown) as a power source are disposed inside. Further, the tilting arm portion 13 can be attached to the vicinity of the head portion 12 of the main body portion 11.

  In addition, on the front side of the gripping part 11a close to the front side of the head part 12, an operation part 11b for switching the cosmetic operation ON / OFF, operation type, strength, etc. in response to a user's input operation is disposed. On the side surface of the grip portion 11a, an auxiliary electrode portion 11c for introducing ions made of a conductive member and connected to the control portion 19 is disposed.

  The head portion 12 is made of a material having conductivity and good thermal conductivity such as metal, and is in contact with the skin directly or via a porous covering 12a such as cut cotton, and beauty such as ion introduction to the skin 50. The operation is executed. The head unit 12 is connected to the control unit 19 in the main body unit 11, and can be energized through the user's body with the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in the grip unit 11a.

  For energization, the control unit 19 applies a voltage between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c so that energization can occur, and the porous covering is impregnated with a liquid agent such as skin lotion containing an electrolyte component. When the head unit 12 comes into contact with the skin 50 such as the face through the head 12a or directly and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c comes into contact with the palm or the finger of the hand having the gripping unit 11a, the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c. Is a mechanism that is energized through the user's body. In this case, the human body becomes a conductor.

  The head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c are sufficiently separated from each other, so that a hand or the like touching the auxiliary electrode portion 11c is not in contact with the head portion 12 and no current is generated.

  With the energization of the skin 50 in contact with the head portion 12, an ionic active ingredient contained in a liquid such as a lotion applied to the skin surface in advance or soaked in the porous covering 12a, This is a mechanism capable of executing ion introduction (iontophoresis) introduced into the skin by ion movement based on current from the control unit 19. Since the ion introduction method itself is known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, as a cleansing, it is possible to obtain a state in which dirt components such as charged wastes are transferred from the skin 50 side to the head portion 12 side by energization and taken into the porous coating 12a.

  The head portion 12 is desirably made of a material that is stable with respect to energization, such as titanium, in terms of ion introduction and the like. That is, if the head part 12 is made of a plating surface such as chromium, metal ions are eluted on the surface of the head part 12 by electrolysis when ions are introduced, and the eluted metal ions have an adverse effect on the skin. However, if titanium having high stability is used on the electrode surface, metal ions of titanium are not eluted by electrolysis in the head portion 12 even when energized, and can be used safely. The electrode surface material is preferably pure titanium, but may be a titanium compound. In addition to titanium, gold or the like can be used.

  The tilting arm portion 13 is a substantially arm-like member that is attached to a tip end portion of the main body portion 11 with the head portion 12 so as to be tiltable, and each of the irradiation portions 14, 15, 16 and The roller electrodes 17 and 18 can be attached. With respect to the tilting arm 13, when a light source having a wide light irradiation range is used as each irradiation part, in order to prevent unexpected leakage of light from other than the opening part sandwiched between the roller electrodes 17 and 18, It is preferable to have a shape that covers the side.

  When energizing the roller electrodes 17 and 18 and irradiating light from each irradiation part, the tilting arm part 13 is tilted so that each irradiation part and the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are positioned in front of the head part 12. , 18 can be brought into contact with the skin 50 (see FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5A). On the other hand, when the energization and light irradiation by the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are not performed, such as ion introduction, the tilting arm portion 13 is tilted to shift the irradiation portions and the roller electrodes 17 and 18 from the front of the head portion 12, and the head portion. If 12 is made into an open state, head part 12 can be covered with porous covering 12a, or can be made to contact skin 50 (refer to Drawing 5 (B) and Drawing 6).

  The irradiation units 14, 15, and 16 are a first irradiation unit 14 that irradiates light in a red region (wavelength of about 620 to 750 nm) and a second irradiation unit that irradiates light in a yellow region (wavelength of about 570 to 590 nm). 15 and a third irradiating unit 16 that irradiates near infrared rays (wavelength of about 800 to 1000 nm). The third irradiating unit 16 is arranged close to each other, and has a predetermined cosmetic effect on the skin under irradiation control by the control unit 19. The light of each wavelength to produce is irradiated. The structure itself as a light source of each irradiation unit uses a known high-intensity light emitting diode (LED), and detailed description thereof is omitted. These irradiation units 14, 15, and 16 are fixed to the tilting arm unit 13 in a state of being covered with a cover 13a having a common translucency, and via a lead wire provided in the tilting arm unit 13. It is electrically connected to the controller 19 inside the main body 11.

  The first irradiation unit 14 and the second irradiation unit 15 are alternately arranged side by side, and the second irradiation unit 15 is arranged between the first irradiation unit 14. When all of the first irradiating unit 14 and the second irradiating unit 15 are in the irradiation state, it appears that orange light is emitted as a whole. The third irradiating unit 16 is disposed close to the side of the second irradiating unit 15 where the roller electrode 18 is present.

The red light from the first irradiating unit 14 is light that is continuously continuous with a predetermined irradiation intensity, for example, an irradiation intensity of about 1 mW / cm ² , that is, without flickering or the like, by irradiation control in the control unit 19. Irradiated so that it can be seen. Similarly, near-infrared light from the third irradiation unit 16 is also irradiated substantially continuously with a predetermined irradiation intensity.

On the other hand, the yellow light from the second irradiation unit 15 is intermittently emitted at a predetermined irradiation intensity, for example, an irradiation intensity of about 0.1 mW / cm ² , that is, an irradiation period and a non-irradiation period by the irradiation control in the control unit 19. Are irradiated alternately. However, the irradiation in the irradiation period is performed substantially continuously, that is, so that it appears as continuous light without flickering to the human eye.

  The roller electrodes 17 and 18 are exposed on the tip side away from the tilting central portion of the tilting arm portion 13 so as to be in contact with the skin 50, and sandwich the irradiation portions 14, 15, and 16 that are concentratedly arranged in the proximity state. A pair of conductors arranged in opposition to each other, and in a state where the paired electrodes and the skin 50 are in contact with each other, the control unit 19 is configured to energize the paired electrodes. The roller electrodes 17 and 18 may be formed of a conductor such as metal, or may be formed by attaching a conductor such as metal or arranging a thin film of conductor on the surface of an elastic body such as rubber. The roller electrodes 17 and 18 are also electrically connected to the control unit 19 inside the main body 11 through a conducting wire provided in the tilting arm unit 13, similarly to the irradiation units 14, 15 and 16.

  The control unit 19 is embedded in the main body unit 11 and receives an input operation to the operation unit 11b by the user, and energization between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c or energization between the paired roller electrodes 17; And each light irradiation in each irradiation part 14, 15, 16 is each controlled.

  The control unit 19 sets an operation mode for each cosmetic application, and in this embodiment, a cleansing mode for removing harmful components and waste products accumulated in the skin, and a lotion, emulsion, and gel in the deep part of the skin. There are three modes: an ion introduction mode for allowing an active ingredient contained in a cosmetic such as a cream to penetrate, and a roller energization and light irradiation mode for activating the skin to fix and penetrate the emulsion or cream.

  In the cleansing mode and the iontophoresis mode, the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c are energized. In the roller energization and light irradiation modes, the pair of roller electrodes 17 and 18 are energized. Moreover, light irradiation by each irradiation part 14, 15, 16 is performed only in roller energization and light irradiation modes.

  When the control unit 19 is energized between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c and between the paired roller electrodes 17 and 18 in accordance with the operation mode, the current flowing through the user's skin by this energization is controlled. Adjust the strength.

  The control unit 19 also prevents the user from getting used to stimulating light from each of the irradiating units 14, 15, 16 in order to irradiate the light from each of the irradiating units 14, 15, 16. In order to make it easy to visually recognize that the two are irradiated separately, the irradiation state in the second irradiation unit 15 so as to cause a change in irradiation intensity over time in the yellow light whose visibility is conspicuous by blinking display To control. That is, the irradiation state of the second irradiation unit 15 is intermittent irradiation in which the irradiation period and the non-irradiation period are switched at a predetermined timing, so that the user does not get used to the light stimulation and the user emits light. It can be received as a stimulus that is always the same as the original, and the effect of light irradiation is prevented from being impaired (see FIG. 12A).

  Control in the irradiation period of each irradiation unit 14, 15, 16 is performed by pulse width control suitable for the LED on the relationship of using the LED for each irradiation unit, and during irradiation, in addition to simple continuous irradiation, Irradiation that repeats pulses can be performed as if it were continuously irradiated to human eyes. In addition, for the second irradiation unit 15 that performs intermittent irradiation of yellow light, the duty ratio of the pulse width control, that is, the irradiation period seems to be continuous for a certain period immediately after turning on or immediately before turning off, that is, The amount of light is gradually changed by gradually changing the ratio of the peak (actual irradiation period) and valley (irradiation interruption period) of the pulse, resulting in a state in which the light amount changes slowly due to the transition between the irradiation period and the non-irradiation period. (Refer to FIG. 12B and FIG. 13) While maintaining the optimal irradiation intensity that gives a cosmetic effect, the user can suppress the irritation when the user sees the light with a gentle light change. .

  On the other hand, the red light is controlled to an irradiation state that is substantially continuous and has a small change at a predetermined irradiation intensity. In addition, also about the 1st irradiation part 14 which irradiates this red light, light intensity can be adjusted by changing light quantity by pulse width control, performing substantially continuous irradiation.

  As described above, in this embodiment, control is performed so that red and yellow visible light is emitted from each irradiation unit at a predetermined intensity and visually, red light is substantially continuously emitted and yellow light is periodically emitted. By irradiating the skin with each light, it is possible to visually express that multiple visible lights are acting on the user while maintaining a predetermined irradiation intensity that is considered optimal for each visible light. However, this is due to the experimental finding that the cyclical irradiation of yellow light while the red light is continuously irradiated can best appeal the existence of both. The visible light to be used is not limited, and may be a flashing red light.

  In addition, although it is set as the structure which performs control regarding such light irradiation of each irradiation part 14, 15, 16 by pulse width control, it is not restricted to this, Current control and combined pulse width control and current control A configuration using control can also be adopted.

  Next, each cosmetic operation state of the beauty device according to the present embodiment will be described. As a premise, it is assumed that the beauty device 1 is activated when the power is turned on, and the user holds the grip portion 11a and is directed to the skin portion where the head portion 12 or the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are desired to be used. If the operation mode is selected and input by the user, the control unit 19 enters a state in which execution of each operation mode can be started.

  When performing cleansing, the user tilts the tilting arm portion 13 in advance to shift each irradiation portion and the roller electrodes 17 and 18 from the front of the head portion 12 so that the head portion 12 can be brought into contact with the skin, Cover the head portion 12 with a porous covering 12a soaked with cosmetics such as a wiping lotion containing an electrolyte component, and fix the porous covering 12a by fitting the holding portion 12b to the main body 11. (See FIG. 7).

  When the user operates the operation unit 11b to select the cleansing mode, the control unit 19 can start an energized state in which a weak pulsed current is passed between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in a short cycle. However, in the state where the head part 12 is separated from the skin, since the circuit between the head part 12 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c is not closed through the body, there is no energization.

  When the head portion 12 is brought into close contact with the skin 50 through the porous coating 12a, the body and the cosmetic material in the porous coating 12a are energized, and the skin surface and the inside are charged fine dirt components (spots). Cosmetic components, tobacco smoke components, aging keratin etc. that were not present) are attracted to the head portion 12 and transferred from the skin side to the porous coating 12a (see FIG. 9), and the porous coating 12a becomes dirty. By being in a state where the components are taken in, the dirt on the skin can be removed by suction.

  If the head portion 12 is moved little by little on the skin while the porous covering 12a is in contact with the skin 50, the target position of dirt removal can be changed in the energized state, but this removal operation can be interrupted or removed. When the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 50 to change the power, the energization is immediately interrupted. When cleansing is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by using the operation unit 11b or turn off the power.

  After this cleansing is completed, the fitted holding portion 12b is removed, the porous covering 12a is removed, and the head portion 12 is cleaned. In addition, the user cleans the face and removes the dirt remaining on the skin.

  When ion introduction is performed, the user can tilt the tilting arm portion 13 in advance to shift each irradiation portion and the roller electrodes 17 and 18 from the front of the head portion 12 so that the head portion 12 can come into contact with the skin 50. A porous covering 12a soaked with cosmetics such as a protective lotion containing an electrolyte component is put on the head portion 12 and the holding portion 12b is fitted to the main body portion 11 so as to be porous. The covering body 12a is fixed (see FIG. 7).

  When the user operates the operation unit 11b and selects the ion introduction mode, the control unit 19 enables the start of an energized state in which a weak pulse current is passed between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in a short cycle. However, in a state in which the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 50, since the circuit between the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c is not closed, there is no energization.

  When the head portion 12 is brought into close contact with the skin 50 through the porous coating 12a, the body and the cosmetic in the porous coating 12a are energized, and the ions in the cosmetic are generated by the current flowing through the porous coating 12a. The active ingredient (such as provitamin C) is transferred to the skin side (see FIG. 10), and the active ingredient quickly penetrates into the skin where ions are likely to penetrate due to the current.

  If the head 12 is moved little by little on the skin while the porous covering 12a is in contact with the skin 50, the ion introduction target position can be changed while the energization state is maintained. When the head portion 12 is separated from the skin 50 in order to greatly change, the energization is immediately interrupted. When ion introduction is completed completely, the user may switch the function to another by the operation unit 11b or turn off the power.

  After completion of this ion introduction mode, the fitted holding portion 12b is removed, and the porous covering 12a is removed from the head portion 12.

  When the roller energization and the light irradiation are performed, the user tilts the tilting arm portion 13 so that the roller electrodes 17 and 18 and the irradiation portions 14, 15 and 16 are positioned on the front side of the head portion 12. Is brought into contact with the skin 50 (see FIG. 1). At the same time, apply a lotion or cream to the skin and let it become familiar.

  When the user operates the operation unit 11b to select the roller energization and light irradiation mode, the control unit 19 can start an energization state in which a weak pulse current is passed between the paired roller electrodes 17 and 18 in a short cycle. In addition, the irradiation of light in each of the irradiation units 14, 15, 16 is also started. However, in a state in which the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are separated from the skin 50, since the circuit between the roller electrodes 17 and 18 is not closed via the skin, there is no energization.

  When the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are brought into close contact with the skin 50, the energized state is applied through the skin between the paired roller electrodes 17 and 18, the skin is stimulated by energization, and the skin is activated to permeate the emulsion or cream. Will be encouraged. In addition, the skin receives red light, yellow light, and near-infrared light irradiated with appropriate irradiation intensities from the irradiation units 14, 15, and 16 (see FIG. 11). Among these, red light and near-infrared light are irradiated substantially continuously and reach the skin 50, and yellow light is irradiated intermittently and reaches the skin 50, thereby producing a cosmetic effect.

  Since the irradiation of yellow light is not continuous by the control of the second irradiation unit 15, the skin is used to the stimulation of yellow light because it is intermittent irradiation and the light amount also changes immediately after turning on and off during the irradiation period. Therefore, the reaction to yellow light does not become dull, and the yellow light can be surely changed to the activated state by acting as a stimulus without changing from the initial irradiation.

  When the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are rolled while being in contact with the skin 50 and are moved little by little on the skin, the energization and light irradiation target positions can be changed, but the energization is interrupted or the energization and irradiation positions are changed. Therefore, when the roller electrodes 17 and 18 are separated from the skin 50, energization between the roller electrodes is immediately interrupted. When energizing and irradiating completely, the user can switch the function to another one by the operation unit 11b or turn off the power, and the energization between the roller electrodes 17 and 18 and the light in each irradiating unit 14, 15 and 16 can be performed. Irradiation stops.

  As described above, the cosmetic device according to the present embodiment is aware of the phenomenon of activating the skin cells when the applicant irradiates the skin with visible light in the red region or the yellow region. Based on the above, while controlling each of the irradiating units 14, 15, and 16 so that red and yellow visible lights are respectively irradiated with predetermined intensity, red light is substantially continuous, and yellow light is intermittently emitted. In addition to executing the irradiation of each light on the skin, in addition to each light irradiated from each irradiation unit 14, 15, 16 as an optimal intensity efficiently activates the skin and gives a cosmetic effect, Intermittently irradiating yellow light with high irradiation intensity will change the irradiation intensity on the user's skin, making it difficult to get used to feeling irritation as initially applied, and as a response to light stimulation Skin activation irradiates light Was originally a generated without change, throughout while the skin is irradiated by light, can provide reliably cosmetic effect associated therewith.

  In the beauty device according to the embodiment, the operation mode is switched by the operation unit 11b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a switch that operates by tilting the tilting arm unit is provided. When the roller electrode 17 and each irradiation unit 14, 15, 16 are positioned on the front side of the head unit 12 by tilting, the switch can be configured to switch the operation mode to roller energization and light irradiation mode. Thus, it is possible to save the trouble of operation in the operation unit after moving the tilting arm unit, and the usability can be improved.
