Benefits of technology

[0005]It is hence desirable to improve known skin

Problems solved by technology

It was found that such a device as described in WO 01 / 05267 A1 is relatively noisy and that users may retract from using the epilation device because of its “aggressive” noise when it is switched on.
The disadvantage of such a noise protection cap is that it obviates a good sight onto the area that is being treated with the skin treatment device.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 is a perspective depiction of an exemplary embodiment of a skin treatment device 1 as proposed, which skin treatment device is realized as an epilator device. The skin treatment device 1 comprises a hand piece part 10 and a head part 100. The head part 100 comprises a detachable attachment 110 that has an aperture that allows for contacting the skin during operation of the skin treatment device 1 such that hairs growing on the skin can be removed by a skin treatment unit 120, which skin treatment unit 120 is here realized as an epilation unit. The attachment 110 further comprises skin stimulation elements 111. The skin treatment device 1 is connected to mains voltage via a cord 19, but the skin treatment device 1 could also be energized via a (rechargeable) battery that is arranged in the skin treatment device 1. In contrast to the shown embodiment, it is not necessary for the present invention that the skin treatment device 1 has a detachable attachment 110.

Abstract

The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device that comprises an actuator and at least a skin stimulation element arranged at a mounting structure, the mounting structure being supported at the skin treatment device and the mounting structure being deformable or displaceable against a restoring force when an external force is applied on the skin stimulation element. A contact portion of the mounting structure is arranged to cooperate with the actuator only in a deformed or displaced state of the mounting structure. This renders the device to operate on a low noise level when it is switched on but not pressed against the skin.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is concerned with skin treatment devices in general and in particular with skin treatment devices that comprise a stimulation element for mechanically stimulating the skin during operation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]International patent application WO 01 / 05267 A1 describes a skin treatment device, namely an epilation device that has a driven means for mechanically stimulating the skin during operation of the epilation device. The driven means are mounted such that displacement of the driven means is permitted. The intensity of the mechanical stimulation affected by the driven means during operation can be varied by the user.[0003]It was found that such a device as described in WO 01 / 05267 A1 is relatively noisy and that users may retract from using the epilation device because of its “aggressive” noise when it is switched on.[0004]International patent application WO 02 / 076260 A1 describes a noise protection cap that encloses an...
