Description

Skin Care Apparatus {Apparatus treating the skin}

The present invention relates to a skin care device for arranging keratin and rough epidermal layers formed on the skin surface and stabilizing tensioned subcutaneous tissues. It was able to clean the skin surface while sliding.

As life improves and the ratio of spending on resolving food stocks decreases, spending on time and economic time is concentrated on leisure activities or health and beauty care. This trend has led to a rapid growth in the leisure and health / beauty industries.

Meanwhile, along with the growth of the beauty-related industry, skin care devices having various forms and functions have been developed and provided. Among these skin care devices, there are devices that stimulate and calm the skin regularly, and devices that remove various foreign substances such as keratin generated on the surface of the skin. Most of them generate vibration of the ultrasonic unit to remove skin soothing and exfoliation. To function.

For reference, Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 0311362 "Skin Care Equipment" is linked to the piezoelectric element generating the vibration of the ultrasonic unit with the exfoliation plate, the vibration generated from the piezoelectric element is transmitted to the exfoliation plate, the vibration thus transmitted Is transmitted to the skin in contact with the exfoliation plate to irritate the skin.

However, this mode of operation is somewhat disadvantageous for exfoliation formed on the skin surface.

In more detail, the skin care device 10 using the vibration of the ultrasonic unit transmits the vibration of the ultrasonic unit to the skin, soothing the skin and separating the keratin formed on the skin surface from the skin as described above. . At this time, in the case of exfoliation, the exfoliation effect is effectively exerted only after the 'separation step' of the skin and the keratin and the 'peeling step' of the keratin.

Here, the 'separating step' is to separate the keratin formed on the skin surface by applying vibration to the skin, and the 'peeling step' is to physically separate and detach the keratin separated from the skin surface.

However, the exfoliation plate 11 of the conventional skin care device 10 vibrating up and down on the basis of the skin surface, the 'separation step' for separating the keratin from the skin surface while applying the vibration of the ultrasonic unit to the skin surface can proceed smoothly. However, the peeling step of physically removing the separated keratin could not proceed efficiently.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by using the exfoliating plate vibrating in the ultrasonic unit to soothe the skin and remove the dead skin, as well as to improve the skin soothing effect and effectively remove the dead skin cells. It is a technical task to provide a skin care device that enables it.
