Description

  The present invention relates generally to electrical and electronic massage techniques and more specifically to a skin treatment device having an integrated sample dispenser.

  Skin treatment using electronic devices is a widely accepted method of enhancing the skin beautification process that achieves even better results than the application of just cream, lotion and serum products. The device usually promotes the activation of chemical molecules in creams or lotions or serum products, or excites skin cells as such molecules still penetrate the skin. Introduce some physical means to human skin that promotes by spreading chemical pathways into cells.

  The inventor believes that the following list is appropriate prior art: (1) Mitsu, “Electrophoresis device, ultrasonic facial stimulator, and skin beautification cosmetic system using cosmetic additives”, patent number US7,427,273B2 (2008); Nunomura and T.W.

  Physical means introduced to work on the skin may include ultrasound, drive brushing, drive vibration, drive tapping, electrical current and light irradiation. These electrically driven physical means increase the efficiency of the skin treatment process.

  However, in prior art devices, lotions, creams and essence products (referred to below as “skin lotions”) are external to the target skin area or directly on the electronic device prior to treating the skin. Or applied onto the skin treatment surface. In other prior art devices, skin lotion is also externally attached, which is a skin treatment element that itself needs to be attached to the main device prior to the treatment and disposed of after each treatment. It is also applied by a dispenser. In all these prior art devices, lotion is either applied from a lotion container separated from the electronic device or externally attached to the electronic device, but they are all in both hands of the user. In order to apply lotion or install containers prior to treatment. This process makes skin treatments with prior art devices unsuitable for constant active use where one-handed operation is generally required.

  In addition, all prior art devices simply use a skin care sample of a predetermined component and do not allow the adjustment of the component according to the skin condition of each different user.

  The prior art does not contain an integral sample dispenser that is a functional part of the device itself that does not require preparation prior to the treatment process, and it lacks the portability and device of the prior art device at any time. The performance used for every purpose is limited.

  What is highly desired is an integrated sample dispenser for an electronic massage device.
