Description

Beauty device, beauty device set, and beauty method

The present invention relates to a beauty device attached to a specific meridian point of the body, a beauty device group equipped with the beauty device and a shell displaying the meridian point, and a method of using the beauty device.

Generally, there are commercially available low-frequency therapeutic apparatuses in which a pad is attached to a portion where pain or soreness occurs, and an electric current is applied (for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, in Patent Document 2, it is proposed that a plurality of pads are attached to the hands and feet along the lymph of the body, and current pulses are applied, whereby the flow of lymph fluid is improved in the hands and the entire feet, and the hands and the entire feet are far away in a wide range. A pulse beauty device that brings effects from a distance. [Prior Art Literature] [Patent Literature]

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2017-192545 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-66113

[The problem to be solved by the invention]

Here, the face is a particularly conspicuous part of the body, and it is better to obtain the effect on the face from a distance.

However, the patent document 1 or the general low-frequency therapeutic apparatus brings an effect to the part to which the low-frequency therapeutic apparatus is attached, and does not envisage a long-distance effect.

In the lymphatic pathway, the lymph that travels in the hands (including the upper arm and the arm) and the lymph of the neck connected to the face branch off from the common lymphatic ducts located on the left and right of the clavicle. Therefore, the method of Patent Document 2 is used. Even if the lymph of the hand is stimulated, it has almost no effect on the face.

It is assumed that if it is attempted to stimulate the lymph that is connected to the face in order to have an effect on the face, it is necessary to stimulate the lymph that passes through the lateral side of the neck from the front of the neck. When the carotid artery, which is the function of the blood pressure sensor, is stimulated, the blood pressure will change sharply, which may cause dizziness. Therefore, stimulation of the lymph from the front of the neck to the side is suitable for stimulation with precise positioning within a narrow range in a way that does not affect the blood vessels, and is not suitable for stimulation with a current pad having a specific size.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned situation, the present invention aims to provide a cosmetic device which can give effects to the face at a long distance without adverse effects even if stimulation is given within a specific range. [Technical means to solve problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, one aspect of the present invention provides a cosmetic device comprising: an electrode attached to the large intestine meridian of the upper arm or forearm of the user's body; another electrode, which is attached from the aforesaid one electrode toward the inner direction in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the aforesaid upper arm or the aforesaid forearm, or a position arranged obliquely from the aforesaid orthogonal direction; and a body portion, which applies a current between the one electrode and the other electrode; and The current applied from the main body is repeated: as the first energization, a pulse group composed of a plurality of pulses of the first polarity with a peak current value of 1 to 20 mA and a pulse width of 50 to 250 μs is applied at a frequency of 20 to 100 Hz. Conduct energization for a certain period of time, and after a pause, as the second energization, at a frequency of 20 to 100 Hz, the second polarity with a peak current value of 1 to 20 mA and a pulse width of 50 to 250 μs and different from the first polarity described above is applied. The pulse group composed of a plurality of pulses is energized for the same specific period as the first energization, and is suspended. [Effect of invention]

According to one aspect, in the cosmetic device, even if stimulation is given within a specific range, there is no adverse effect, and the effect can be given to the face at a distance.

Hereinafter, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated with reference to drawings. Hereinafter, in each drawing, the same component is denoted by the same symbol, and the repeated description is omitted.

The present invention relates to a beauty device attached to a specific meridian point of the body, in particular to a beauty device that can bring beauty effects to the face at a long distance by being attached to the meridian point. Furthermore, it relates to a cosmetic device group having a cosmetic device and a casing for displaying specific meridian points.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cosmetic method using a cosmetic device attached to a specific meridian point of the body.

<Outline structure> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention is attached to the large intestine meridian of hand Yangming and the lung meridian of hand taiyin of the user. Here, the so-called large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming is one of the main meridians, hereinafter referred to as the large intestine meridian. On the other hand, the so-called hand-taiyin lung meridian is one of the meridians, hereinafter referred to as the lung meridian.

The cosmetic device 1 of the present invention is used by attaching the two electrode pads 3 and 4 to the large intestine meridian and the lung meridian, which are examples of meridians, respectively. The electrode pad 3 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention is preferably attached to a meridian (also called acupoint) on the large intestine meridian, and if the meridian is the hand five li (refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 ), it is better.

<Large Intestine Meridian and Meridian Points> Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of the large intestine meridian, (a) is a diagram showing the position of the large intestine meridian relative to the bones of the upper limbs, (b) is a diagram showing the position of the hand five li relative to the position of the muscles and blood vessels. In this manual, the so-called hand five li means that the little finger is placed on the front end of the crease that occurs when the elbow is bent, and the width of the fingers is equal to the position of the arm where the index finger under the four fingers is in contact (Figure 1, Figure 2).

One of the twelve main meridians, the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming (hereinafter referred to as the Large Intestine Meridian), is shown in Figure 2(b). In this way, the large intestine meridian rises from the acupoint of the index finger to the hand, forearm, and upper arm, and reaches the neck and cheeks from the clavicle, so it is expected to have an effect on the face. Therefore, it is also used in the treatment of diseases of the face, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth and throat.

Therefore, the inventors have conducted research on a patch-type wearable device. Based on the consideration of oriental medicine, the patch-type wearable device can provide the best physical stimulation to the acupoints in the important parts of the meridians. In this way, a cosmetic effect can be imparted from a distance for the purpose of improving the color tone, shape, sagging, puffiness, etc., which are concerns of the facial skin.

However, if the electrode pad is directly attached to the large intestine meridian on the face, it will cause makeup. Therefore, as the electrode attachment position, consider the position other than the face and the point where the user can easily attach the electrode. It is better if it is located on the large intestine meridian of the upper arm or forearm.

In addition, since the carotid artery, which is related to life, is passed through the neck, if the electrode pad is used for wide-area stimulation, it may cause discomfort. In addition, even in the arm, if the brachial artery, radial artery, ulnar artery and other thick blood vessels are directly stimulated, the same symptoms may be found.

Therefore, even if stimulation is performed by applying electric current from an electrode pad with a specific range, the safety is considered in a way that does not directly stimulate thick blood vessels such as the carotid artery, brachial artery, radial artery, and ulnar artery. The five miles of the hand on the side of the triceps is better.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the schematic structure of the radial nerve of the upper limb. As shown in Figure 3, at the position of Wuli in the hand, there is the end of the lateral upper brachial cutaneous nerve from the radial nerve. This nerve is the nerve that governs the perception of the skin.

Therefore, by using the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention to stimulate the hand 5 li of the upper arm, the end of the nerve can also be stimulated, so the user wearing the cosmetic device 1 can easily grasp the state of the start or stop of the application of the current through the nerve. .

＜Comparative experiment＞ Here, it is known that as the above-mentioned common theory, if the large intestine meridian is stimulated, there is some effect on the face. As a premise, a comparative experiment using acupuncture needles (needles) to stimulate the five li of the hand was carried out.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the sequence of acupuncture needle stimulation of Dianwuli in the comparative experiment. Furthermore, acupuncture needle stimulation was performed on 4 subjects (N=4) by an acupuncturist with acupuncture needle treatment qualification.

In the flow of the comparison experiment shown in FIG. 4 , first, in step S91 , the acupuncturist performing acupuncture finds (finds) one of the subject's meridian points, that is, the position of the five li of the hand.

In step S92, the acupuncturist inserts acupuncture needles into the hand five li.

In step S93, the acupuncturist performs a twisting action (acupuncture needle twist) to rotate the acupuncture needles in one direction (eg, clockwise).

After that, the needle placement in the state of penetrating the acupuncture needle for a specific period (eg, 5 minutes) is performed (step S94).

After 5 minutes, the acupuncturist pulls out the acupuncture needles from the subject (step S95 ), and the process ends.

Figure 5 shows changes in the shape of the face of one of the subjects. In FIG. 5, the state of the face of the same person (a) before the acupuncture needle stimulation, (b) immediately after the acupuncture needle stimulation, and (c) 20 minutes after the acupuncture needle stimulation is shown in order from the left.

As shown in the photo of Figure 5, it can be seen that (b) immediately after the acupuncture needle stimulation and (c) 20 minutes after the acupuncture needle stimulation, compared with the state before (a) the acupuncture needle stimulation The sagging of the skin is gradually eliminated, and the contour becomes clear.

FIG. 6 shows the mean value of the change in luminance (L*) of the face of 4 subjects. In FIG. 6 , the vertical axis represents L* (brightness: luminance). In addition, the value of the brightness L* was measured by a spectrophotometer (manufactured by Konica Minolta).

On the horizontal axis of FIG. 6 , the brightness L* values of the face before the acupuncture needle stimulation, immediately after the acupuncture needle stimulation, and 20 minutes after the acupuncture needle stimulation are shown in order from the left. As can be clearly seen from the chart, compared to before the acupuncture needle stimulation, the brightness L* increased immediately after the acupuncture needle stimulation, and then compared with the acupuncture needle stimulation just after the acupuncture needle stimulation, 20 minutes after the acupuncture needle stimulation, with As time passes, the brightness L* further increases. An increase in the lightness L* means that the skin color of the face changes in a brighter direction.

Therefore, according to the experiment shown in Figure 4 above, it can be seen that by stimulating the hands with acupuncture needles in Wuli, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the shape of the face can be made clear after the stimulation and after the elapse of time since the stimulation. , and brightens the complexion of the face.

Based on this effect, the present inventors performed transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) at the same site and conducted research to confirm whether the same effect is imparted without acupuncture needles.

Here, when implementing TENS, current needs to be applied to two points of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. For this reason, the following studies were conducted on the parts of the body that were stimulated together with the hand five miles.

＜Lung Meridian＞ 7 is an explanatory diagram of the lung meridian at the arm, (a) is a diagram showing the position of the lung meridian relative to the bone, (b) is a diagram showing the position of the lung meridian relative to the position of the muscles and blood vessels.

The inventors conceived of attaching the cosmetic device 1 having the two electrode pads 3 and 4, focusing on the lung meridian in addition to the large intestine meridian.

The meridians are connected to the organs and regulate the functions of the organs. The lungs not only perform breathing, but also have the function of transporting body fluids (body fluids) to the whole body and even to the skin. Therefore, its state affects the skin or body hair. Also, the lungs and the large intestine are closely related. In the case of constipation, small pustules often develop. This is due to the direct connection between the meridians of the lungs and the meridians of the large intestine, which in turn are connected to both the lungs and the large intestine. Therefore, if the meridians on the meridians of the large intestine are stimulated, the lungs will be affected, and the condition of the skin can be expected to be improved.

Therefore, it is considered that the other electrode pad 4 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention is wider than the forearm and is easy to be attached to, and is attached to the body side (inner side) than the first electrode pad 3 . In the present embodiment, an experiment was conducted in which the electrode pad 4 was attached to the lung meridian extending along the side of the biceps brachii of the upper arm. Furthermore, one electrode pad 3 and the other electrode pad 4 can also be attached to a position that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the arm (upper arm or forearm) or that is arranged diagonally upward from the perpendicular direction.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7 , the upper end of the lung meridian is connected to the periphery of the clavicle, and there are common lymphatic vessels around the clavicle. Further, as shown in FIG. 7( b ), thick blood vessels such as brachial artery, radial artery, and ulnar artery pass through the upper limb.

Therefore, even if it is stimulated by the application of electric current from the electrode pads 3 and 4 having a specific range, in such a way as to not stimulate the common lymphatic vessels, or thick blood vessels such as the radial artery and the ulnar artery, if other stimulation sites are known to be related to the large intestine The lung meridian that is coordinated and exerts its effect is better.

＜Construction of beauty device＞ Fig. 8 is an external view of a cosmetic device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

8 to 10, the portable cosmetic device in which two electrodes are connected to the main body has been described, but the cosmetic device of the present invention may be wired or wirelessly connected to the two electrodes and the main body. Connected fixed beauty device.

＜Research on waveforms＞ Here, in the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention, the waveform generated by the output waveform generator 53 and applied to the meridian of the skin via the electrode pads 3 and 4 will be described.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the waveform of the pulse group of the current applied to the skin in the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention.

The current (waveform) applied by the output waveform generator 53 repeats the following situation: as the first energization, a pulse group (group wave) of a plurality of pulses (fundamental waves) having the first polarity (positive polarity) is energized. After a specific period, pause for a specific period. Thereafter, as the second energization, a pulse group of pulses having a second polarity different from the first polarity (negative polarity in FIG. 11 ) is energized for the same specific period as the first energization, and suspended.

In this specification, the period during which the pulse train is energized refers to the period during which the envelope (envelope) formed by connecting the peak values of a plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train maintains a value other than 0.

Here, the pulse that constitutes the fundamental wave of the applied pulse group shown in Fig. 11(a), (c), and (d) is, as shown in Fig. 11(b), an enlarged view, for example, the pulse width is 200 The square wave of μs. The pulse width is set with reference to the pulse applied by a general low-frequency therapeutic apparatus. Furthermore, the pulse width is not limited to 200 μs, and may be 20 to 250 μs.

Furthermore, the maximum wave height value of the plurality of pulses included in the applied pulse group shown in FIG. 11 , that is, the peak value (also referred to as the amplitude value and the peak current value, hereinafter referred to as the peak value) is 10 mA. This peak value is a peak value set based on Example 2 to be described later. Furthermore, the peak current value may be 1 to 20 mA.

Further, the driving frequency of the plurality of pulses included in the applied pulse group shown in FIGS. 11( a ), ( c ) and ( d ) is 40 Hz. This frequency is a frequency set based on Embodiment 3 to be described later. In the case of driving at a frequency of 40 Hz, as shown in FIG. 11( b ), a group wave, that is, a pulse train, is produced by repeating ON/OFF of the pulse with a pulse period of 25 ms. Furthermore, the driving frequency may be 20 to 100 Hz.

In Fig. 11(a), (c), (d), regardless of the waveforms, an example in which the following content is repeated, that is, a pulse to the first polarity (positive electrode (+)) as the first energization is shown. The group is energized for 2 seconds and paused for 1 second, that is, the state of no application is maintained. As the second energization, the pulse group of the second polarity (negative pole (-)) is energized for 2 seconds and paused for 1 second. The optimum value of the energization period and the pause period is a period set based on Example 4 to be described later.

During such energization, by changing the polarity of the pulse as the fundamental wave, the waveforms of positive (positive) and negative (negative) pulse groups are generated.

Fig. 11(a) shows an example in which the entire pulse group becomes a rectangular wave by making the amplitude and frequency of a plurality of pulses constituting the applied pulse group constant during the first energization and the second energization. . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11( b ), by repeatedly applying the pulse as the fundamental wave with a constant amplitude, the entire pulse group becomes a rectangular wave. In addition, the waveform of FIG. 11(a) is an envelope (envelope) formed by connecting the peak values of a plurality of pulses, and has a rectangular shape.

In Fig. 11(c), during the period of the first energization and the second energization period, the amplitude of the plurality of pulses constituting the applied pulse group is 0 at the beginning of the energization period (specified period), and gradually increases during the period. The center becomes the maximum value, gradually becomes smaller, and finally becomes 0. The amount of change in the amplitude at this time is large at the beginning and at the end, and is small in the vicinity of the center. Thereby, the waveform shown in FIG. 11( c ) is an envelope formed by connecting the peak values of a plurality of pulses, and becomes an outer shape of a sine wave, that is, a sine wave outside the pulse group.

In Fig. 11(d), in the first energization and the second energization, the amplitudes of the plurality of pulses constituting the applied pulse group are 0 at the beginning of the energization period (specified period), and gradually increase, and become larger at the end of the period. The center becomes the maximum value, gradually becomes smaller, and finally becomes 0. The amount of change in the amplitude at this time is constant. Thereby, the waveform of FIG. 11(d) is an envelope formed by connecting the peaks of a plurality of pulses, and it becomes a triangular wave shape, that is, a triangular wave is formed outside the pulse group.

The electrode pads 3 and 4 are repeatedly energized and stopped with these waveforms for a driving period of 5 to 15 minutes. After driving, it is automatically stopped and notified.

＜＜Comparison of waveforms＞ Here, the present inventors conducted the following comparative investigations in order to appropriately select the type and energization period of the waveform (burst) that stimulates the five li of the hand and imparts a long-distance effect to the face.

<Example 1> The inventors attached current patches respectively, and applied waveforms with different types of pulse group waveforms, that is, a plurality of waveforms with different pulse envelope shapes, and stimulated the long distance to the face when the hand was stimulated for five miles. The effects were investigated for comparison.

FIG. 12 is a graph showing the rate of change of the blood flow of the cheek in the case of applying pulse trains of waveforms with different envelope shapes. In FIG. 12 , the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the change rate of the blood flow rate of the face and cheeks when the current application was set to 100%.

Here, the subject washes his arms, rests for 10 minutes while lying on his back (supine position), continues to stimulate for 5 minutes while lying on his back, and rests for 15 minutes. Then, during the period of rest before stimulation, during stimulation, immediately after stimulation to 5 minutes, 5 minutes to 10 minutes after stimulation, and 10 minutes to 15 minutes after stimulation, blood on the face and cheeks Flow was measured. 13 to 15, and FIG. 20, the measurement was carried out in the same manner in the comparative investigation of the measurement of the blood flow of the cheeks of the face. In the experiments (Examples 1 to 5, 9) shown in Fig. 12, and Fig. 13 to Fig. 15 to be described later, and Fig. 20, a laser blood flow meter (OMEGAWAVE, OMEGAFLO FLO-N1) was used to measure the cheeks of the face. blood flow was measured.

In this embodiment, the experiment manager affixed the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 to the five li of the hand and the lung meridian of the subject's left arm, respectively, and checked the blood flow of the left and right cheeks of the face. Changes were measured.

In this embodiment, by applying a rectangular wave and a sine wave with a peak value of 10 mA to 6 subjects, and applying a rectangular wave and a sine wave with a peak value of 5 mA to 5 subjects, the left and right For the data of cheeks, we obtained 22 data of 11 people in total whose waveforms were rectangular waves and sine waves, and expressed the average value.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, under the condition that all conditions are common, the pulse amplitude of a plurality of pulses constituting the applied pulse group is 200 μs, the frequency is 40 Hz, and the pattern of energizing the pulse group for 2 seconds and pausing for 1 second is repeated. .

In FIG. 12, regardless of whether the shape of the pulse train is a rectangular wave or a sine wave, although there are some differences in the magnitude of the effect, the effect is obtained compared to before the application. Therefore, the waveforms in which the pulse trains are shaped as rectangular waves and sine waves can be applied to the waveforms having the pulse trains applied by the cosmetic device of the present invention. In addition, the same effect is predicted for the triangle wave whose shape is similar to the sine wave, so it can be applied to the pulse group applied by the cosmetic device of the present invention.

Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 12 , in the overall shape of the burst waveform, the effect of the rectangular wave is more likely to appear than the sine wave. Therefore, in the pulse group during the energization period under the positive electrode or the negative electrode, if the peak value of the pulse is constant and the shape is a rectangular wave, the effect will be greatly manifested, which is better.

<Example 2> The present inventors conducted a comparative investigation on the effects of stimulating the hand five miles and the long distance of the face by attaching a pad that changes the peak value (peak current value) of the current of each pulse constituting the applied pulse group.

FIG. 13 is a graph showing changes in cheek blood flow when the pulses constituting the pulse train are set to different peak values. In FIG. 13 , the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the change rate of the blood flow of the face and cheeks when the current application was set to 100%.

In this embodiment, currents with the peak values of the pulses set to 5 mA, 10 mA, 15 mA, and 20 mA are applied to 4 subjects respectively, and the data of the left and right cheeks are obtained. Therefore, the value of each peak value is Average of 8 data.

Furthermore, in this example, under common conditions, the pulse amplitude of a plurality of pulses constituting the applied pulse group is 200 μs, the frequency is 40 Hz, and the pattern of energizing the pulse group for 2 seconds and pausing for 1 second is repeated.

12, it is preferable that the overall shape of the pulse train waveform is rectangular, so the peak current value (amplitude) of a plurality of pulses constituting the applied pulse train is set constant.

Fig. 13 shows that the applied pulse peak value is 5 mA, 10 mA, 15 mA, or 20 mA, although there are some differences in the magnitude of the effect, the effect is obtained compared to before the application. Therefore, a plurality of pulses having a peak value of 5 to 20 mA can be applied to the pulse train applied by the cosmetic device of the present invention.

In addition, when the peak value of the pulse wave was 5 mA, 10 mA, and 15 mA, the subject hardly felt the stimulation, but when the peak value was 20 mA, the subject felt a little stimulation.

Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 13 , when a pulse group consisting of pulses having a peak value of 10 mA was applied, the amount of current in the cheeks increased most. Therefore, the peak value of each pulse is preferably about 10 mA, for example, about 7 to 13 mA.

<Example 3> The inventors of the present invention conducted a comparative investigation on the effect of applying a plurality of pulse groups to change the frequency of the plurality of pulses formed on a pad attached to the hand, and on the long distance of the face.

Fig. 14 is a graph showing the rate of change of the blood flow of the cheek when the frequency of the plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train is changed. The horizontal axis of FIG. 14 represents time, and the vertical axis represents the rate of change of the blood flow rate of the face and cheeks when the current application was set to 100%.

In this embodiment, the frequencies of the pulses constituting the pulse group are set to 20 Hz, 40 Hz, and 100 Hz, and the data of about 4 subjects are obtained, so the value of each frequency is the average of the 8 data. .

Reflecting the results of FIGS. 12 and 13 , in the present example, under each condition, a pulse group having a rectangular shape with a constant peak value of the waveform of 10 mA was applied. In addition, a pulse train in a pattern in which the pulse width of a plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train is set to 200 μs, and the power is repeatedly energized for 2 seconds and then paused for 1 second was applied.

In FIG. 14, even if the frequency of the plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train is any one of 20 Hz, 40 Hz, and 100 Hz, although there are some differences, the effect is obtained compared with before the application. Therefore, 20 to 100 Hz can be applied to the cosmetic device of the present invention as the frequency of the plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14 , when a current having a waveform of a pulse train driven at a frequency of 40 Hz of a plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train is applied, the amount of current in the cheeks increases the most. Therefore, the frequency of the plurality of pulses constituting the pulse group is preferably about 40 Hz. The frequency of the plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train is preferably about 40 Hz, for example, about 30 to 60 Hz.

<Example 4> The inventors of the present invention conducted a comparative investigation on the effects of stimulating the hand five li and the distance to the face by attaching a pad that changed the energization period and the pause period of the pulse group to be applied.

FIG. 15 is a graph showing the change rate of the blood flow of the cheek when the energization period and the pause period are changed. In FIG. 15 , the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the change rate of the blood flow of the face and cheeks when the current application was set to 100%.

In this embodiment, the interval between each energization and pause of the pulse group is set to a repeating mode of energizing for 2 seconds and pausing for 1 second, a repeating mode of reversing the polarity every 3 seconds, and a repeating mode of energizing for 1 second and pausing for 2 seconds. and applied to the subjects.

In the repeating mode of energizing for 2 seconds and pausing for 1 second, and the repeating mode of energizing for 1 second and pausing for 2 seconds, as shown in Figure 11, the first energization and the second energization are energized in modes with different polarities (positive and negative), And a pause period is interposed between power-on and power-on.

In the repetition mode of polarity reversal energization every 3 seconds, repeat energization for 3 seconds, reverse the polarity, and energize for 3 seconds (the polarity is switched every 3 seconds of energization), and there is no pause period.

In this embodiment, the data of the left and right cheeks of 3 subjects are obtained, so each value is an average value of 6 data.

11 to 14, since the overall shape of the pulse train waveform is preferably a rectangle, in this embodiment, under the common conditions, a plurality of pulses constituting the pulse train to be applied are divided into The peak current value (amplitude) is fixed at 10 mA, and the pulse train is driven at a frequency of 40 Hz. In addition, the pulse width of the plurality of pulses constituting the pulse group was set to 200 μs.

According to FIG. 15 , when the waveform consisting of a pulse burst on for 2 seconds and a pause period for 1 second was repeatedly applied, the blood flow of the cheeks increased the most. Therefore, the ON/OFF interval of the pulse group is appropriate to be 2 seconds for the ON/OFF of the pulse group and 1 second for the pause period.

Here, in Fig. 15, regarding the interval between energization and pause, whether it is in any application mode of energization for 2 seconds and pause for 1 second, polarity reversal energization every 3 seconds, and energization for 1 second and pause for 2 seconds, although the effect is small. There are some differences in size, but the effect is obtained compared to before application. However, the mode of switching the polarity every 3 seconds without setting a pause period is significantly less effective than the mode of power-on for 2 seconds and pause for 1 second, power-on for 1 second and pause for 2 seconds. Therefore, it can be seen that setting the pause period is more effective when the polarity of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the pulse is reversed.

In addition, when the mode of energizing for 2 seconds and then pausing for 1 second is compared with the mode of energizing for 1 second and pausing for 2 seconds, the effect of energizing for 2 seconds and pausing for 1 second is large. Therefore, in the power-on/pause application mode, it is preferable to set the power-on period to be longer than the pause period.

Furthermore, the application mode of power-on/pause need not be limited to the mode of power-on for 2 seconds and pause for 1 second as shown in this example. For example, the following intermittent pulse group current can be applied to the current applied by the cosmetic device of the present invention, and the pulse group sets the period of energization and pause as the period of energization for 1 second to 4 seconds and the period of pause for 0.5 to 2 seconds. , and set the power-on period to be longer than the pause period. It is envisaged that under such a setting, the same effect as the mode of power-on for 2 seconds and pause for 1 second can be obtained.

<Example 5> FIG. 16 is a graph of measuring changes in cheek blood flow when the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention are attached to the five li of the hand and the lung meridian and driven for 10 minutes.

In this example, the amplitude of a plurality of pulses constituted in a pulse group whose overall waveform is a rectangular wave, which is a condition of great effect in the comparative measurement of Examples 1 to 4, is set to 10 mA, a pulse The width is 200 μs, the frequency is 40 Hz, and the pulse train is set to the “setting condition” of the current in the mode of energizing for 2 seconds and pausing for 1 second.

Using the cosmetic device 1, three sitting subjects were stimulated by applying the current of the pulse group of the above-mentioned set conditions to the hand five miles and the lung meridian for 10 minutes. Furthermore, the blood flow in the cheeks of the face was measured using a laser speckle flowmeter (LSFG: Laser Speckle FlowGraphy, laser speckle flow graph) immediately before and immediately after stimulation. The vertical axis of Fig. 16 is the blood flow value, and the value is the average value of 3 subjects.

Here, the blood flow value (also referred to as a blood flow evaluation value) measured by the LSFG is an MBR (Mean Blur Rate), and represents an average blur rate. The image of a fast-moving object is blurred when taking a photo, and the blood flow value is a numerical representation of the blurring rate, which is proportional to the moving speed of the blood cells. Therefore, the blood flow value (MBR) in this measurement is an index, and no unit is set.

As shown in FIG. 16 , it can be seen that the blood flow value increases when the actual cosmetic device 1 is used and the current of the set condition is applied. Furthermore, when the current was applied in the cosmetic device 1 under the above-mentioned setting conditions, the three subjects did not feel the stimulation of the current.

In addition, in this embodiment, the driving period of repeated energization (startup of the device) and stop (stop of the device) is set to 10 minutes, but the driving period may be 5 to 15 minutes. Furthermore, after the driving period, that is, 10 minutes, the application of the current was automatically stopped.

In this way, according to the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention, the current of the pulse group with the above-mentioned set conditions or other conditions is applied to the five li of the hand and the lung meridian, and there is no adverse effect such as discomfort, and a long-distance treatment can be obtained. The effect of the face.

<Example 6> The inventors of the present invention have measured the effects of applying electric currents by attaching the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention to the hand five li and the lung meridian from the viewpoint of the autonomic nerve.

FIG. 17 is a graph showing the changes of the autonomic nerve when the electrode pad of the cosmetic device of the present invention is attached to the Wuli of the Hand and the Lung Meridian and driven for 10 minutes.

Using the cosmetic device 1, the three subjects in the sitting state were stimulated by applying the current of the pulse group with the above-mentioned setting conditions to the hand five li and the lung meridian for 10 minutes.

Furthermore, 10 minutes before the stimulation, 10 minutes during the stimulation, 10 minutes immediately after the stimulation, and 10 to 20 minutes after the stimulation, a multi-function monitor ECG scanner with an analysis function was used for 3 sitting subjects. RADARCIRC (Nihon Kohden Kogyo Co., Ltd.) measured the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nerves.

Specifically, in the analysis software in RADARCIRC, the ECG waveform is measured, and the time series data waveform obtained by plotting the RR interval of each heart rate obtained from the ECG for 5 minutes is calculated, and then the time series data of the RR interval is calculated. The waveform (schematic diagram) is subjected to frequency analysis, separated into slow waves (low frequency bands) and fast waves (high frequency bands) and extracted, thereby indexing sympathetic nerve activity and parasympathetic nerve activity.

For example, in the time series data waveform of the RR interval, the following analysis is carried out, that is: the wave with rapid change and the wave in the high frequency band (0.15-0.5 Hz) (HF) represents the parasympathetic nerve activity, and the low-frequency band (0.04-0.15 Hz) (LF) divided by the high frequency band (HF) represents sympathetic nerve activity.

The numerical values of the vertical axis in FIG. 17 respectively represent the indexes of parasympathetic nerve activity and sympathetic nerve activity analyzed according to the heart rate in the above-mentioned device, without units.

The vertical axis of FIG. 17 is the numerical value of sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic nerve. The value is the average of 3 subjects.

As shown in FIG. 17 , the value of the sympathetic nerve increased (actively acted) immediately after the stimulation as compared with that before the stimulation by the electric current, and the sympathetic nerve gradually increased after 10 minutes and 20 minutes later. rise. On the other hand, the parasympathetic nerves were unchanged.

Here, the sympathetic nervous system is the nerve that becomes the source of active movement during the day, and the parasympathetic nervous system is the nerve during sleep or relaxation. Therefore, the use of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention stimulates the five li of the hand and the upper lung meridian to activate the sympathetic nerves, thereby bringing the whole body into an active state.

In this way, in the beauty device of the present invention, by applying electrical stimulation to the meridians, namely the five li of the hand, and the meridians, namely the lung meridian, the body is activated from the distant parts like the movement during exercise, and the The state of the face and the whole body leads to a better state. As an effect on the face and the whole body, in addition to the above-mentioned blood flow increasing effect, swelling improvement and a relaxing effect on the body can also be expected.

<Example 7> The present inventors investigated the effect of improving the swelling of the face when the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention are attached to the five li of the hand and the lung meridian, and electric current is applied.

18 is a diagram illustrating the measurement position of the face when the amount of change in the facial line in Example 7 is measured. Fig. 19 shows the position shown in Fig. 18 when the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention are attached to the five li of the hand and the lung meridian, and the current of the pulse group with the above set conditions is applied for 10 minutes A graph of the rate of change of the distance between the indicators of the face.

In the present embodiment, a method of setting the index of the change amount of the contour in the vicinity of the chin serving as the reference of the change amount of the face will be described. In the present embodiment, the distance between the indices of the face is measured by the following method based on the 3D data captured by 3dMD (manufactured by 3dMD), which is a three-dimensional surface ultra-high-speed imaging and analysis system. (1) As shown in Fig. 18, one point of immobility (mole or spot) is determined around the mouth and neck. For example, a person with no indicators attaches a small mark to 2 points of the cheek and neck. (2) Input the respective 3D photographic data before and after stimulation into the analysis software, and calculate the surface distance between the two points and the straight-line distance between the two points, respectively. (3) The change in values before and after stimulation was compared by dividing the surface distance by the linear distance. (4) Compare the values before and after stimulation.

Figure 19 shows the rate of change of the distance set using the method described above. In addition, in this example, the measurement was performed on 9 subjects in the sitting state. As for the right side, since 1 person could not measure accurately, the value on the right side was the average of 8 subjects, and the value on the left side was 9 subjects. the average.

In FIG. 19 , the distance between the two indexes of the cheek and the neck before the current application is set to 1, and the graph shows the ratio of the distance between the indexes immediately after the current application for 10 minutes to the distance between the indexes before the current application. Furthermore, Before means before stimulation, After means after stimulation for 20 minutes.

As shown in FIG. 19 , it can be seen that the distance between the indexes of the face and the neck is shortened on the right side and the left side, that is, the boundary of the facial line (the line of the face outline and the chin line) is clearly clear.

In this way, in the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention, by applying electrical stimulation to the meridian points, namely the five li of the hand, and the meridians, namely the lung meridian, the swelling and relaxation of the face (also called sagging) can be improved at a long distance. , the effect of a small face.

<Example 8> In order to investigate the effect of applying an electric current by applying an electrode pad to the arm, the present inventors conducted a comparative measurement compared with applying the electrode pad to a part other than the meridian of the arm.

Figure 20 shows the comparison of the blood flow changes of the face when the electrode pad of the cosmetic device of the present invention is attached to the five li of the hand and the lung meridian, and when the electrode pad is attached to the upper arm outside the meridian and driven for 5 minutes.

In this example, as in the above-mentioned Examples 1 to 5, the subjects washed their arms and rested for 10 minutes while lying on their backs, then continued to stimulate for 5 minutes and rest for 15 minutes while lying on their backs. Then, during the period of rest before stimulation, during stimulation, immediately after stimulation to 5 minutes, 5 minutes to 10 minutes after stimulation, and 10 minutes to 15 minutes after stimulation, blood on the face and cheeks Flow was measured. Figure 20 shows the data of the left and right cheeks of 3 subjects, so each value is an average of 6 data.

In addition, in the present embodiment, for any one of the case of sticking on the five li of the hand and the lung meridian, and the case of sticking to the part other than the meridian of the upper arm, the samples with the first to fifth examples were applied. The current of the pulse group of the above setting conditions with high effect.

In FIG. 20, as shown by the dotted line, when the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention is attached to the proximal dorsal side of the upper arm outside the acupoints, and the current of the pulse group with the above-mentioned setting conditions is applied, Blood flow to cheeks decreases after stimulation. In this way, even if the cosmetic device 1 is used to apply electric stimulation to the parts other than the meridian points, the effect of increasing the blood flow of the face cannot be obtained.

On the other hand, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 20 , it can be seen that the blood flow to the cheeks of the face increased more than before the stimulation when it was attached to the meridian point, namely, Hand Wuli and stimulated by electric current.

Therefore, to obtain the effect from a distance, it is not necessary to stimulate any part of the site, but to stimulate specific meridians or acupoints such as the five li and the lung meridian, and only to stimulate specific meridians and acupoints. In this case, a long-distance effect can be obtained on the face or the whole body.

<Display of the position of the five miles of the hand> In the measurement of the effects of acupuncture needle stimulation in the above-mentioned comparative experiments, or the comparative investigation effect of the current stimulation on the subjects by the beauty device 1, the acupuncturists or the experimental managers and other medical practitioners know the meridian points (hand five li) or the meridians. Therefore, the correct position can be stimulated. The beauty device 1 of the present invention is ideally used at home, where the user attaches himself to the correct meridian position.

For this reason, it is better to set the display such as knowing the position of the five li of the hand or the lung meridian in the casing.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention, and the casing 6 for accommodating the cosmetic device 1 . In this embodiment, the cosmetic device group 10 is constituted by the cosmetic device 1 and the casing 6 .

As shown in FIG. 21 , the attaching position is displayed by setting the attaching position diagram 62 on the inner side of the cover 61 of the housing 6 . As an illustration of the attachment position of the hand five li, for example, it is also possible to further add the little finger to the front end of the wrinkle that occurs when the elbow is bent, and the finger width is the same as the four fingers. The position where the index finger touches is the hand five. Therefore, the description of the article such as attaching is performed in such a manner as to be the center of the electrode pad 3 here.

The user refers to the casing showing the position of the hand five li of the large intestine meridian, and attaches the beauty device 1 according to the display of the casing, so that even if the position of the hand five li is unknown, the user can still correctly attach the cosmetic device to the hand. The location of five miles. Therefore, even if the user has no professional knowledge or technology, by driving the beauty device 1 that is correctly attached to the position of the five li of the hand, the five li of the hand and the upper lung meridian can be stimulated, so that the meridian can be used for a long distance. Gives effects to the face.

Furthermore, in FIG. 21 , an example is shown in which the attachment position is displayed on the inner side of the cover body 61 of the casing 6 , but the attachment position is not only displayed on the inner side of the cover body 61 , but can also be displayed under the casing 6 . The inner side of the side receiving part.

Alternatively, the attachment position can also be displayed on the body portion 2 of the cosmetic device 1 or the surfaces of the electrode pads 3 and 4 . Furthermore, the sticking position may be printed on an instruction manual or the like accommodated in the casing 6 .

(The order of use of the beauty device) FIG. 22 is a diagram showing the order of use of the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention.

In step S1 , as shown in FIG. 22( a ), the user attaches the electrode pads 3 and 4 of the cosmetic device 1 to the hand five li of the arm and the lung meridian while referring to the casing 6 .

In step S2, as shown in FIG. 22(b), the user presses the operation button 26 to start driving.

In step S3, the current of the pulse group with the set condition is continuously applied.

Then, when 10 minutes have elapsed, in step S4, the application of the current is automatically stopped.

In step S5, as shown in Fig. 22(c), the user peels off the electrode pad of the cosmetic device.

In this way, in the cosmetic device 1 of the present invention, even if the user has no professional knowledge or technology, the hand can still be effectively stimulated.

In this process, an example is shown in which the electrode pads 3 and 4 are directly attached to the hand five li of the upper arm and the lung meridian. The electrode pads 3 and 4 are attached to the coating position so as to improve the current transmission performance.

Furthermore, in the above process, an example is shown in which the cosmetic device of the present invention is attached by oneself, but the cosmetic device of the present invention can also be attached to the correct position by a clinician in the operation of slimming or cosmetic surgery. to implement.

(Flow during current application) Figure 23 is a flow chart when applying a current with a burst of pulses.

This flow is the detailed flow of step S3 in FIG. 22 .

In step S31, as the first energization, the current of the pulse group of the positive electrode is applied for 2 seconds.

In step S32, no current is applied for 1 second. This time is regarded as the first pause period.

In step S33, as the second energization, the current of the pulse group of the negative electrode is applied for 2 seconds.

In step S34, no current is applied for 1 second. This time is regarded as the second time-out period.

Steps S31 to S34 are repeated until a predetermined number of times is reached in step S35. The specific number of times in step S35 corresponds to the number of actual driving times. For example, when the driving time is set to 10 minutes, the time required for steps S31 to S34 is 6 seconds in total. Therefore, the specific number of times in step S35 is The number of times is set to 100 times.

Furthermore, the duration of the energization period and the pause period may not be exactly 2 seconds or 1 second, as long as the energization period is longer than the pause period, and can be set to energize for 1 to 4 seconds and pause for 0.5 to 0.5 seconds. Since it is 2 seconds, a specific number of repetitions can be appropriately set according to the time set for the energization period and the pause period, and the driving time of the entire device. The specific number of times may be preset at the manufacturing stage, or may be configured in the device to allow the user to select a plurality of modes.

If the predetermined number of times is reached in step S35, it will automatically stop.

In this way, by using the current with a specific pulse group to physically stimulate the acupoints and meridians, the stimulation can be carried out from a remote location, thereby improving the poor blood flow of the facial skin. Thereby, it is possible to obtain an effect on the face at a long distance without adverse effects by applying the current within a specific range.

In addition, the example in which one pattern is applied has been described above, but the cosmetic device of the present invention can also set two or more patterns.

In this case, there is a memory portion that memorizes the application patterns of a plurality of currents to the electrode pads. Then, by selecting the application mode, the driving period of repeated energization, the stop, and/or the amplitude of each pulse constituting the pulse group can be appropriately set.
