Description

The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the effect of esthetic treatment, a method for displaying an esthetic effect, and a material for explaining esthetics.

Esthetics have been practiced for a long time for the purpose of adjusting the homeostasis of living organisms, and the effect is recognized by many people . In particular, targeting the aging control, in the field of interest of effective expressing face, such expectation can be said to be a larger one than the other sites. However, there is little evidence about the effects of esthetics, despite the fact that they have been recognized, and there is little objective evidence of how esthetics are actually acting on the living body scientifically. It can be said. Therefore, it can be said that there was no way to evaluate whether an esthetic treatment is appropriate, inappropriate, good, or poor. In particular, it has been empirically known that performing an esthetic treatment on the so-called decollete from the upper chest to the neck has a positive effect on the face. However, it has not been known at all what kind of effect the treatment performed at a place away from the actual effect field is actually exerting. That is, there has been a demand for the development of a method for evaluating the effect of esthetic treatment, particularly, the effect of treatment on the decollete part.

On the other hand, an evaluation method of the effect of esthetic treatment, characterized by the change in the state of fluid circulation around the eye before and after the treatment, and display of the change in the state of fluid circulation around the eye There are no known materials for explaining esthetics, which include the indication of the effect of esthetic treatment and the indication of the effect of esthetic treatment, which are characterized by including

The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the effect of esthetic treatment, particularly, the effect of treatment on the decollete portion.

In view of such a situation, the present inventors have sought for a method for evaluating the effect of esthetic treatment, particularly, the effect of the treatment on the decollete part, and as a result of earnest research efforts, the results of the treatment before and after the treatment The inventors have found that such an evaluation can be made by using a change in the state of circulation of the body fluid around the eye as an index, and have completed the invention. Furthermore, the present inventors have developed the invention by presenting these indications so that the patient can accurately understand the effect of the esthetic treatment, thereby enhancing the effect of the esthetic treatment itself. That is, this invention relates to the technique shown below. The esthetics referred to in the present invention means that a practitioner who is not the same as the patient performs actions such as rubbing and pressing acupuncture points with fingers and the like. At this time, the coefficient of friction is lowered or a warm feeling is imparted. For example, massage cosmetics, warming cosmetics, steam, etc. may be present.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the method of evaluating the effect of the aesthetic treatment, especially the effect of the treatment with respect to a decollete part can be provided.

The method for evaluating the effect of esthetic treatment according to the present invention is characterized in that the change in the state of body fluid circulation around the eye before and after the treatment is used as an index. Such a change in the state of circulation of the body fluid is preferably a change in blood flow at such a site, a change in skin temperature that accompanies a change in blood flow, a change in hemoglobin that occurs due to a change in retained blood volume, and the like. It can be illustrated. Such a measurement is made by commonly known means. For example, changes in blood flow can be measured with a laser Doppler blood flow measurement device, changes in skin temperature can be measured using thermography, blood hemoglobin oxygen saturation and hemoglobin oxygen If it is a saturation index, it can be calculated from the reflectance of the spectrophotometer 400 to 700 nm by the equation of Feather.

The place where the change in the state of circulation of the body fluid is measured is preferably around the eyes. As a result of performing esthetic treatment on decollete, it became clear from finding this place when looking for the place with the greatest change. Such changes also correlated well with the quality of aesthetic treatment techniques. The treatment of esthetic are improved in edema in the face, to be able to return to the neat Fe y Surain can improve dullness and bear. In particular, for the effect of such a treatment is, subclavian, Ru practitioner der to the trapezius muscle or sternocleidomastoid muscle.

Therefore, in the evaluation method of the effect of the esthetic treatment of the present invention, the circulation state of the body fluid is measured before and after the treatment, and the change, in other words, the amount of the body fluid around the eye by the esthetic treatment. It is measured whether the state of the circulation has improved, and it is evaluated that if the degree of improvement is large, the effect of the good treatment is obtained, and if the degree of improvement is small, it is evaluated that the effect of the treatment is not so much. If this is seen in the change of the skin surface temperature around the eyes, which is a representative value of the state of circulation of body fluid, it can be evaluated that the higher the body temperature rise due to the treatment, the better the effect of the esthetic treatment was obtained. . Moreover, if the representative value is the oxygen state of blood, the numerical values representing such a state include, for example, oxygen saturation of hemoglobin, oxygen binding degree of hemoglobin, blood oxygen content, blood oxygen partial pressure, hemoglobin Specific examples include changes in absorbance that change depending on the presence or absence of oxygen binding, and it is preferable to use the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin from the viewpoint of ease of measurement and easy understanding of the concept. If this oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is used as a representative value, the hemoglobin oxygen saturation increases as the body fluid circulation is improved. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the higher the hemoglobin oxygen saturation, the better the treatment.

Displaying the effect of such treatment in a visible form is to make both the practitioner and the patient feel the effect of the esthetic treatment that has not been realized until now. I can do it. This increases confidence in the effect of the treatment, thereby further enhancing the effect of the treatment. Here, as a form of display in such a visible form, if the surface temperature is changed, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable to display the thermographic images before and after the treatment side by side. In the case of changes in oxygen saturation and blood flow, it is preferable to indicate the values before and after the treatment in the form of a bar graph or a line graph.

In addition, a visual display of the effects of such esthetic treatments is placed on the material for explanation of esthetics as a constituent requirement, and the effects are accurately recognized by those who receive explanations. In the case of a practitioner, the effect can be enhanced by having an appropriate expectation, and the practitioner can more appropriately recognize the point of treatment from the effect. Furthermore, by placing such a display in a textbook for esthetic treatment, it is possible to compare with the effect of the treatment performed. This is because such a display makes it possible to clearly understand the effects of the treatment and the points for obtaining such effects.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such examples.

Using female volunteer panelists, we confirmed the effect of esthetic treatment on decollete. The effect was confirmed by thermography. The procedure of the experiment is briefly shown below. The procedure of the treatment is shown in FIG. The measurement results are shown in FIG. 2 before and after the treatment. From this figure, it can be seen that the temperature around the eyes is rising. That is, it can be seen that the blood circulation around the eyes is promoted by the treatment on the decollete shown in FIG. 1, and the temperature of the skin surface is increased.
(Measurement technique)
Measurement conditions: room temperature 25-26 ° C., humidity 50-60%
Measuring equipment: Thermography → Avio Thermal Video System
TVS-8000
Measurement flow: Resting for 15 minutes after face washing → Measurement → Treatment → Measurement Thermography measurement As part of measuring and measuring the effect of site and treatment, measurement was performed for the purpose of analogizing changes in blood flow state from changes in skin temperature. .
-The measurement part was the head and eyes above the neck.
Analysis method ・ The temperature setting of the thermo image was 26-36 ° C and 2 ° C width (temperature values are different for each), and the blood circulation promotion status was judged by the color change of the image. The head, nose, cheek, and neck.

With the same procedure as in Example 1, except for one of the seven configuration procedures for the treatment of decollete, the effect on the effect was confirmed. As for the effect, an effect similar to that of Example 1 was given as ◯, an effect slightly lower than the effect of Example 1 was clearly recognized as Δ, and an effect was not clear as x. In addition, the effect of esthetics was also confirmed by a questionnaire with the patient. The choices were rated as ○ when the feeling was good and effective, △ when the effect was slightly felt, and x when the effect was not felt. The results are shown in Table 1. From this, it can be seen that the construction treatment related to the effect of Example 1 is the treatment for the subclavian, trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. It can also be seen that the temperature rise around the eyes correlates with the comfort of the treatment. Thus, it can be seen that the effect of esthetic treatment can be evaluated by using the change in circulation of the body fluid around the eye as an index, and the effect of esthetic treatment on the decollet part can be evaluated.

In the same way as in Examples 1 and 2, among the construction treatments shown in FIG. However, almost no effect was observed. Therefore, it can be seen that, in order to increase the blood flow volume of the face, it is essential to increase the blood flow volume around the eyes.

The treatment for decollete was performed in the same manner as in Example 1, and the effect was determined as the hemoglobin oxygen saturation and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation index around the eyes. The hemoglobin oxygen saturation was determined using a spectrophotometer according to the procedure shown below. The results are shown in FIGS. From this figure,
It can be seen that the hemoglobin oxygen saturation is also increased in the portion where the temperature increase was observed. That is, it can be seen that esthetic treatment on the decollete has improved the retention of blood or lymph. Moreover, the result measured with the laser Doppler blood flow measuring device is also shown in FIG. This is the same trend.
Measurement conditions: room temperature 25-26 ° C., humidity 50-60%
Measuring instrument: Spectrophotometer → Minolta CM2002
Measurement flow: Rest for 15 minutes after washing the face → Measurement → Treatment → Measurement measurement site / measurement site was the internal keratinized part as the measurement site.
Measurement was performed under the conditions of 2 ° visual field and C light source.
-Using the CM2002 spectrophotometer, the target region was measured three times and the average value was used.
Absorbance was calculated from the reflectance of 400 to 700 nm obtained from the analysis method CM2002 using Minolta's soft chroma check, and was applied to Feather's formula 2) to calculate the hemoglobin oxygen saturation index and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation. This formula is shown below: H = [(L544-L527.5) /16.5- (L573-L544) / 29] 100 OX = [(L573-L558.5)-(L558.5-L544)] 100 /14.5H
SaO2 (oxygen saturation%) = (OX + 0.821) 100 / 1.97
However, Lx: absorbance, H: hemoglobin index, and OX: hemoglobin oxygen saturation index.

The presentation effect of the results obtained in Examples 1 and 4 was examined using 40 panelists. The panelists are divided into 4 groups with 10 people per group, and the following 4 types of explanation sheets are prepared. Prior explanation of esthetics was given in advance, and esthetics were explained in advance with 4 sheets for the remaining 1 group. The rate of increase in hemoglobin oxygen saturation was calculated from the following formula, and the average value for each group was determined. The results are shown in Table 2. From this, it can be seen that the effect of the esthetic treatment can be enhanced by presenting the display of the change in the state of the body fluid circulation around the eyes as in Example 1 or 4. It can also be seen that it is preferable to present both thermography and an increase in hemoglobin oxygen saturation as the display. Of these sheets, sheets 1 to 3 are shown in FIGS.
