As the result, the users had to purchase both stimulators to cause them to cost extra money. Additionally, the need for using respective stimulators separately resulted in tediousness and inconvenience.
[7] Specially, the low-frequency stimulators are of structure wherein stimulation is conducted through a pad attached to a certain area of body, so that the pad electrode should be first washed before re-attachment or otherwise should be replaced by a new one, when other areas are to be stimulated. Therefore, there was a problem of being tedious and inconvenient, particularly because stimulation was impossible unless pads were attached.
[8] On the other hand, the intensity of stimulation needs to be appropriately regulated, because the physical characteristics such as dermal state and physical ingredients are different for every individual. To this end, the conventional stimulators were also provided with the function of regulating the intensity of stimulation. However, because the intensity of stimulation should be regulated through manual operation directly by the user, the intensity adjustment was not only inconvenient but also optimizing the stimulation intensity was almost beyond non-specialized ordinary persons, leading to insufficient stimulation effect.

[27] Fig. 1 shows the front view of a skin stimulator according to the invention, Fig. 2 the rear view and Fig. 3 the arrangement in block description. The skin stimulator according to the invention as shown has the head part of body 1 in the form of conventional ultrasonic stimulator, which head portion is provided with a circular ultrasonic vibrator 10 and an annular first electrode 20, the second electrode 30 being provided on the grip part 3 of the body 1. The ultrasonic vibrator 10 and the first electrode 20 are insulated by an isolator 25 made of silicon. In the interior of the body 1, there are provided an ultrasound generator 60, low-frequency generator 70, dermal impedance measuring section 80, physical ingredient measuring section 90 and CPU 50 for controlling these constituting parts, which are respectively connected to the ultrasonic vibrator 10, first electrode 20 and second electrode 30 through a relay switch 95.
[28] The ultrasonic vibrator 10 is composed of an ultrasonic vibrating element like a ceramic piezoelectric element enclosed by a housing made of electroconductive metal like stainless steel. This vibrator 10 which is connected to the ultrasonic generating section 60 can apply a stimulation through ultrasonic vibration to the skin of user and further can be connected to a low-frequency generator 70, dermal impedance measuring section 80 or physical ingredient measuring section 90 through the relay switch 95 under the control of the CPU 90 so as to serve as the electrode for low- frequency stimulus, dermal impedance measurement, physical ingredient measurement or the like.
[29] The first electrode 20 which should be contacted to therapeutic area on the skin of user together with the ultrasonic vibrator 10 is preferably made of a stainless steel. This first electrode 20 is either connected to the low-frequency generator 70 or dermal impedance measuring section 80 together with the ultrasonic vibrator 10 to enable the low-frequency stimulation or measurement of skin dermal impedance, or is connected to the low-frequency generator 70 or physical ingredient measuring section 90 together with the second electrode 30 in order to conduct low-frequency stimulus or to measure physical ingredients.
[30] The second electrode 30, which is brought into contact with a hand of user when the user holds the body 1, conducts the corresponding functions, wherein the second electrode 30 is connected to the low-frequency generator 70, dermal impedance measuring section 80 or physical ingredient measuring section 90 together with the ultrasonic vibrator 10 or first electrode 20.
[31] Additionally, a selective input section 40, which is provided with a number of buttons such that the desired kind of stimulation, switching on/off of power or the like can be input, is positioned on the rear side of the body 1.
[32] The use of the skin stimulator according to the invention, constructed as above, makes it possible not only to apply an ultrasonic stimulation through an ultrasonic vibrator 10 but also, in accordance to the user's selection, to provide one of those kinds of ultrasonic stimulations generated across the first electrode 20 and ultrasonic vibrator 10, the second electrode 30 and ultrasonic vibrator 10, or the first electrode 20 and second electrode 30. The part of the body 1 where the ultrasonic vibrator 10 and the first electrode 20 are installed can be moved along while being in contact with the skin to provide the desired stimulation to the desired physical area.
[33] In addition, according to the inventive skin stimulator, the impedance of the user's skin is measured through the ultrasonic vibrator 10 and first electrode 20, and physical ingredients are measured across the second electrode 30 and ultrasonic vibrator 10, or across the second electrode 30 and first electrode 20, whereby in accordance with the numerical data thus obtained, the intensity and frequency of the low-frequency or ultrasonic stimulation are automatically controlled by the CPU. Accordingly, the invention has the advantage that the intensity and frequency of stimulation need not be controlled manually by the user to provide convenience in use and an optimized stimulation to meet the individual physical characteristic of the user can be provided.
[34] It will be obvious to the men skilled in the art that the invention as described above is not restricted to the foregoing embodiment and accompanying drawings but various replacements, alterations and modifications within the technical ideas of the invention are possible.
