Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for activating skin.

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as an apparatus for activating the skin, those using so-called low frequency of 30KH _z ~300KH _z, 3
There is one that uses a so-called high frequency MH _z ~30MH _z.
A device using low frequency is intended to induce muscle movement by tuning to a weak frequency generated by a muscle or by tuning to a weak muscle induction frequency emitted from a brain. On the other hand, in the device using high frequency, the protons and the inions of water of the human body to be treated act on the polarity, and the micro-vibration of the water molecule is induced by the action and reaction of positive and negative. At that time, friction between the molecules causes frictional heat, which is intended to heat the skin.

However, it was not possible to expect a heating effect in a device using low frequency and a muscle exercise effect in a device using high frequency. On the other hand, devices using direct current are also known. This device has a metal roller rotatably attached to one electrode and a free other electrode. The method of use is to hold the other electrode by hand and to attach the roller attached to one electrode. It is rotating and pressing against the affected area.

However, in such a device, since a direct current is used, it is not possible to cause vibration at all, and therefore, it is not possible to exercise the muscle of the skin, and it is introduced into the skin which is used together with the device. There is a risk of changing the nutrients that should be used, for example, the pH value of cosmetics. This is because when a direct current is applied to a human body containing water and salt, alkali (sodium hydroxide) can be formed at the negative electrode and acid (hydrochloric acid) can be formed at the positive electrode. , For example, -when applying the poles to the skin, and thus to cosmetics with a weak acidity,
The cosmetics are neutralized, and the original effects of such cosmetics cannot be exhibited.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention therefore provides a device for activating the skin which combines the advantages of low and high frequencies and corrects the drawbacks of using direct current. The purpose is to do.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has an oscillator for generating a medium frequency and a pair of electric conductors connected to the oscillator. Provided is a device for activating skin, characterized in that the free ends are spaced from each other and the pair of electrical conductors are energized when the skin to be treated is applied to the pair of electrical conductors. .

In the above apparatus, it is preferable that a conductive roller is rotatably attached to the free ends of the respective conductors, and the conductive rollers are spaced from each other. Further, it is preferable that each of the conductive rollers is covered with a roller made of a conductive elastic material and the conductive rollers are spaced from each other. Furthermore,
The free ends of the conductors are extended inward toward each other, and the free ends extending inward constitute rotation shafts, and the conductive rollers are rotatably attached to the rotation shafts, and the conductive rollers are attached to the conductive rollers. It is preferable that a roller made of a conductive elastic material is covered, and the conductive rollers are connected by an insulator so that they can rotate integrally.

EXAMPLES Next, examples of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 schematically shows a device 1 for activating skin constructed according to the invention. The device 1 has a substantially Y-shaped body 2, into which a coaxial cable 3 is inserted from the lower end of the body 2. The inner conductor and the outer conductor of the upper end of the coaxial cable 3 are connected to the pair of conductive plates 4 and 4, respectively, and each conductive plate 4 projects upward from the main body 2 and extends inward toward each other. The upper end portions of the respective conductive plates 4 extending toward each other form a rotating shaft 5, and a metal roller 6 is rotatably attached to each rotating shaft 5.

The metal roller 6 is covered with a roller 7 made of a conductive elastic material such as conductive rubber or conductive plastic capable of conducting electricity. The conductive rollers 7, 7 are connected by an insulator 8, whereby
The conductive rollers 7, 7 can be integrally rotated about the rotating shafts 5, 5. The lower end of the coaxial cable 3 oscillator 9 is connected, the oscillator is designed to output a frequency in the 1 MH _z. The current output from the oscillator 9 is 2 mA or less, and the voltage can be changed according to the preference of the user.

[0010] When using the apparatus 1 for activating the skin according to the present invention operates an oscillator 9, 1 MH _z
The medium frequency is caused to flow to the conductive rollers 7 and 7 through the coaxial cable 3, the conductive plates 4 and 4 and the metal rollers 6 and 6, and the conductive rollers 7 and 7 are rotated while being pressed against the affected area to be treated. Then, the skin of the affected area serves as a medium to energize the conductive rollers 7, 7.

[0011]

As described above, since the device for activating the skin according to the present invention is configured to use an alternating current in which the direction of flow changes periodically and a medium frequency in which the change is rapid, a direct current is applied. It is possible to prevent the generation of alkalis and acids at each electrode, which is a drawback of using an electric current, and it is possible to use it without changing the pH value of nutritional cosmetics or the like. Regarding the so-called forced introduction effect, which is the effect of introducing nutrients into the skin,
In the forced introduction of direct current, nutrients are passed through the barrier zone of skin (transparent layer or dead cells of the grain layer) by the reaction effect of each independently fixed electrode, and this is introduced into skin cells. As a result, it is necessary to change the electrodes that come into contact with the skin according to the nutrition, which is not necessary with the device according to the invention using alternating current.

Also, since the configuration uses the medium frequency,
The heating effect on the skin, which is an advantage of using high frequency, that is, it causes weak frictional heat (compared to high frequency), heats the skin to promote blood circulation, and is caused by the heating. Not only can the protein, which is one of the constituents of the cell membrane, be contracted by heat to tighten the skin, but it can also perform muscular exercise, which is an advantage of using low frequencies. Can be obtained.
