Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a beauty device and a beauty method for supplying a weak electric current for beauty to the skin.

[0002] Conventionally, beauty devices that supply a weak electric current to the skin to perform aesthetics such as body slimming and skin beautification have been known. For example, in Patent Document 1 below, there is proposed a beauty system including a base material having silver fibers that is directly worn on the body and a wearing member that is worn on the body from above the base material and has an electrode that conducts an electric current to the base material. In this Patent Document 1, by configuring the base material and the wearing member separately, only the base material can be replaced with a new one while the wearing member can be used as it is.

[0003] In such a conventional beauty device, the wearing member is configured by a supporter that tightens the shape of the body and fixes the cloth to the body, and is worn by winding a lateral winding portion or the like around the body and tightening it. Therefore, when the wearing method or the like is inappropriate, the beauty weak electric current is supplied in a state where deformation or distortion occurs in the treatment site, so it is difficult to obtain a stable beauty effect. To solve this problem, Patent Document 2 below proposes a beauty device that is provided with a wearing tool having a sleeve shape and wearable on the upper body and a conductive cloth disposed on the upper part of the breast part or the like on the inner surface of the wearing tool, making it easier to obtain a stable beauty effect.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] It has been revealed that by supplying a weak beautifying current to the skin of the breast area on the upper body of the subject in the same manner as other parts of the upper body, the beautifying effect can be more easily improved or stabilized. However, in conventional beauty appliances, it is not easy to continuously and evenly arrange conductive cloth on the breast area and other parts of the upper body of the subject. Moreover, it is not easy to evenly contact the conductive cloth with the skin while preventing deformation, distortion, etc. of the breast area on the upper body of the subject as much as possible, and to supply a weak beautifying current uniformly to the breast area in the same manner as other parts.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a beauty appliance capable of evenly supplying an equivalent weak beautifying current to the entire area of the treatment site on the upper body of the subject and easily obtaining a stable beautifying effect, and a beauty method using the same.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the beauty appliance of the present invention is a beauty appliance including a wearable device that can be worn on the upper body of the subject, and a conductive cloth disposed on the inner surface of the wearable device and capable of supplying a weak beautifying current in contact with the skin. The wearable device has a breast part that has a three-dimensional shape protruding outward and covers the breast of the subject, a wearable device body that covers the chest other than the breast of the subject, a chest sewing part that stitches the outer peripheral edge of the breast part and the inner peripheral edge of the wearable device body, and a chest covering part that covers the chest sewing part from the inside. The conductive cloth has a first conductive cloth having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast part and laminated and stitched inside the breast part, and a second conductive cloth formed separately from the first conductive cloth and laminated and stitched inside the wearable device body. The edge of the first conductive cloth and the edge of the second conductive cloth are covered from the inside by the chest covering part together with the chest sewing part, and the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are electrically connected by a connection part disposed between the chest sewing part and the chest covering part, so that the weak beautifying current supplied to the wearable device body side is supplied to the breast part side.

[0008] In the beauty device of the present invention, the connection part may be formed by extending a part of one of the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth and overlapping and sewing it to the other. Also, a three-dimensional pad may be disposed between the breast part and the first conductive cloth.

[0009] On the other hand, the beauty method of the present invention is a beauty method using the beauty device as described above, and includes a pretreatment of applying a beauty agent containing an energizing component and a moisturizing component to the skin, and a power supply treatment of wearing a wearing device and supplying a weak beauty current to the skin. It may be characterized by that.

[0010] Also, the beauty method of the present invention is a beauty method using the beauty device as described above and a conductive glove that is worn on the hand of an operator and brought into contact with the subject to supply a weak beauty current. It may be characterized by including a first power supply treatment in which the subject wears the beauty device and supplies a weak beauty current to the skin, and a second power supply treatment in which after the first power supply treatment, the conductive glove is brought into contact with the subject to supply a weak beauty current.

Advantages of the Invention

[0011] According to the beauty device of the present invention, the first conductive cloth having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast part is laminated and sewn inside the breast part, and a second conductive cloth separate from the first conductive cloth is laminated and sewn inside the wearing device main body that covers the chest other than the breast. And the outer peripheral edge of the breast part and the inner peripheral edge of the wearing device main body are joined by a chest sewing part, this chest sewing part is covered from the inside by a chest covering part, and the edge parts of the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are also covered from the inside by the chest covering part together with the chest sewing part. Therefore, while preventing deformation, distortion, etc. of the treatment site on the upper body of the subject as much as possible, the breast part and the wearing device body can press the entire skin of the treatment site as evenly as possible. The entire first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth laminated on the inner surface of the breast part and the inner surface of the wearing device body can be evenly pressed against the skin of each treatment site. Even if the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are formed in different shapes from each other, it is possible to prevent non-uniform stretching, bending, distortion, deformation, etc. from occurring, and thereby stably bring the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth into contact with the skin of the treatment part evenly.

[0012] Further, even if the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are formed separately, the weak cosmetic current supplied to the wearing device body side is supplied to the breast part side by being electrically connected by a connection part arranged between the chest suture part and the chest covering part. Therefore, combined with the fact that the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth stably contact the entire skin of the treatment part evenly, it is possible to supply the weak cosmetic current evenly to the skin of the breast part of the subject and the skin of other parts equally. Therefore, it is possible to provide a beauty device that can evenly supply an equivalent weak cosmetic current to the entire treatment site on the upper body of the subject and is likely to obtain a stable beauty effect.

[0013] In the beauty device of the present invention, if the connection part is formed by extending a part of one of the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth and overlapping and sewing it to the other, the connection part can be formed simply. Further, if a three-dimensional pad is arranged between the breast part and the first conductive cloth, it is easy to keep the first conductive cloth in a stable shape and easy to stably bring the first conductive cloth into contact with the skin of the subject.

[0014] In the beauty method of the present invention, after a pretreatment of applying a beauty agent containing an energizing component and a moisturizing component, when a power supply process of wearing a wearing device and supplying a weak cosmetic current to the skin is performed, it is possible to supply a weak cosmetic current while moisturizing the skin of the treatment site. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the supply of the weak cosmetic current from being inhibited due to dryness of the skin, and it is easy to obtain a stable beauty effect.

[0015] After performing the first power supply process of supplying a weak beauty current to the skin with the subject wearing the beauty device, when performing the second power supply process of wearing the conductive glove on the operator's hand, contacting the subject, and supplying the weak beauty current, regardless of the shape, it is possible to easily and surely contact and supply power to the conductive glove at a site other than the site where the subject wears the beauty device. Therefore, while the operator fixes, displaces, or deforms a site other than the site where the beauty device is worn, it is possible to supply the weak beauty current, and it is easy to efficiently improve the beauty effect by the first power supply process.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, a beauty device equipped with the beauty instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the beauty instrument 10 of the present embodiment includes a wearable 11 that can be worn on the upper body of the subject, a conductive cloth 12 disposed on the inner surface of the wearable 11 and capable of supplying a weak electric current for beauty treatment in contact with the skin, and a first correction belt 15 and a second correction belt 16 disposed on the outer surface of the wearable 11. The beauty device of the present embodiment further includes a conductive glove 13 that is provided separately from the beauty instrument 10 and can be worn on the hand of the operator, and a power supply unit 17 that is provided separately from the beauty instrument 10 and the conductive glove 13 and can supply a weak electric current for beauty treatment to these.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the wearable 11 includes a chest part 23 corresponding to the chest of the subject, a shoulder part 24 corresponding to the shoulders, a back part 25 corresponding to the back, and an armpit part 26 corresponding to the armpits, and has a sleeve part 21 where the roots of the subject's arms to the shoulders are arranged, and a collar part 22 where the neck to the décolletage is arranged.

[0019] This wearable 11 has a three-dimensional shape protruding outward to cover the subject's breasts, a wearable main body 11c that covers the chest other than the subject's breasts, and a chest stitching part 31 that stitches the outer peripheral edge of the breast part 23c and the inner peripheral edge of the wearable main body 11c. As shown in FIG. 9 and the like, the chest stitching part 31 is covered by a chest covering part 32 such as a bias tape from the inside over the entire length. In this wearing device 11, the chest part 23 is constituted by a breast part 23c, a lower breast part 23a provided below the breast part 23c in the wearing device main body 11c, and an upper breast part 23b provided above the breast part 23c in the wearing device main body 11c.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 6(a)(b) and 7(a)(b), the wearing device 11 has a right half body 11a and a left half body 11b that are separated from each other. The right half body 11a and the left half body 11b are connected by a fastener 27 at the chest part 23. They are also connected via a width adjustment part 28 at the back middle part 25. The width adjustment part 28 is provided with hook parts 28a arranged vertically at the back side edge part of one of the right half body 11a or the left half body 11b, and ring parts 28b capable of engaging and disengaging with the hook parts 28a are arranged vertically near the back side edge part of the other. The arrangement of these ring parts 28b is provided in multiple rows with a space therebetween in the left - right direction.

[0021] The width adjustment part 28 of this embodiment further includes a connection plate 28c as shown in FIGS. 8(a)(b). The connection plate 28c is provided in a rectangular shape and has a vertical length corresponding to the vertical length of the back middle part 25. Hook parts 28a are arranged vertically at one side edge of the connection plate 28c, and ring parts 28b capable of engaging and disengaging with the hook parts 28a are arranged vertically on the surface of the connection plate 28c, and are further provided in multiple rows with a space therebetween in the left - right direction.

[0022] In the circumferential adjustment part 28, with the right half body 11a and the left half body 11b connected by the fastener 27 of the chest part 23, the hook part 28a arranged on one of the right half body 11a or the left half body 11b in the middle back part 25 is locked to an appropriately selected ring part 28b of the other, or a connecting plate 28c is interposed between the right half body 11a and the left half body 11b. The hook part 28a arranged on one of the right half body 11a or the left half body 11b is locked to an appropriately selected ring part 28b of the connecting plate 28c, and the hook part 28a of the connecting plate 28c is locked to an appropriately selected ring part 28b of the other of the right half body 11a or the left half body 11b, so that the perimeter of the wearing device 11 can be adjusted and integrated.

[0023] The wearing device 11 is worn above the waist with the arm of the subject inserted through the sleeve part 21 and the neck inserted through the collar part 22. In this state, the chest part 23, the shoulder part 24, the middle back part 25, and the lower rib part 26 are positioned at the corresponding parts respectively. Since the wearing device 11 is formed of a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric having appropriate elasticity, when the subject wears it, due to the appropriate elasticity of the whole wearing device 11, the inner surface sides of each part fit without tightening the corresponding parts of the subject.

[0024] On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the conductive cloth 12 arranged on the inner surface of the wearing device 11 is laminated and integrated on the inner surface of the wearing device 11 by sewing or the like. A pad 14 formed in a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast part 23c is arranged between the breast part 23c and the first conductive cloth 12a. The conductive cloth 12 includes a first conductive cloth 12a laminated and sewn inside the breast part 23c, and a second conductive cloth 12b formed separately from the first conductive cloth 12a and laminated and sewn inside the wearing device main body 11c.

[0025] The first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are made of a cloth having conductivity through which a weak current for beauty care can be passed, and have substantially uniform conductivity along the surface. As the conductive cloth 12, for example, a woven cloth made of conductive fibers such as silver fibers or silver-coated fibers and non-conductive elastic fibers such as polyurethane fibers and polyester fibers may be used. The conductive cloth 12 is formed of a cloth having greater stretchability than the main body of the wearing device.

[0026] The first conductive cloth 12a has a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast part 23c. In a state where the first conductive cloth 12a is overlapped with the breast part 23c, the outer surface of the first conductive cloth 12a is arranged along the inner surface of the breast part 23c, and further, the periphery of the first conductive cloth 12a is formed and sewn to be arranged along the periphery of the breast part 23c over the entire circumference except for the connection part 12c described later. In the present embodiment, a three-dimensional pad 14 is arranged between the breast part 23c and the first conductive cloth 12a, and the first conductive cloth 12a is sewn to the breast part 23c only at the periphery.

[0027] The second conductive cloth 12b is arranged at least on the upper breast part 23b and the lower breast part 23a on the inner surface of the chest part 23 of the main body 11c of the wearing device. Here, in addition to the upper breast part 23b and the lower breast part 23a, it is preferably arranged on the back middle part 25. In the present embodiment, the second conductive cloth 12b is arranged at a position in contact with the skin on substantially all the inner surfaces of the main body 11c of the wearing device.

[0028] This second conductive cloth 12b has a shape corresponding to each part of the main body 11c of the wearing device. In a state where it is overlapped with the main body 11c of the wearing device, the outer surface of the second conductive cloth 12b is arranged along the inner surface of the main body 11c of the wearing device, and further, the edge of the second conductive cloth 12b on the breast part 23c side is formed to be arranged at the edge of the breast part 23c side of the main body 11c of the wearing device.

[0029] The edges of these first conductive fabrics 12a and the edges of the second conductive fabrics 12b are respectively sewn to the periphery of the breast part 23c and the edge of the wearing tool body 11c on the breast part 23c side, and are covered from the inside together with the chest stitching part 31 by a chest covering part 32 such as a bias tape. That is, the chest stitching part 31 of the wearing tool body 11c composed of the edge of the breast part 23c and the edge of the wearing tool body 11c on the breast part 23c side, the edge of the first conductive fabric 12a, and the edge of the second conductive fabric 12b are arranged in a laminated state and are integrally sewn in a state of being covered from the inside by the chest covering part 32.

[0030] Furthermore, the first conductive fabric 12a and the second conductive fabric 12b are electrically connected by a connection part 12c. The connection part 12c is made of a conductive fabric and is arranged between the chest stitching part 31 and the chest covering part 32. In the present embodiment, the connection part 12c is formed by extending a part of the periphery of the first conductive fabric 12a, here, a part of the first conductive fabric 12a at a position adjacent to the armpit part 26. This connection part 12c is arranged so as to cross the inside of the chest stitching part 31 and is sewn in a state of overlapping the inside of the armpit part 26 of the wearing tool body 11c. The weak beauty current supplied to the wearing tool body 11c side can be supplied to the breast part 23c side by this connection part 12c.

[0031] On the outer surface side of the wearing tool 11, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 12, hook-and-loop fasteners 29a and 29b for connecting the first correction belt 15 and the second correction belt 16 are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right shoulder parts 24 and the lower part 23a of the breast part. In addition, on the upper parts 23b of the left and right breast parts on the outer surface side of the wearing tool 11, a protruding connection part 17c that can be separated from the connection end part 17d of the connection cord 17b of the power supply part 17 described later is provided.

[0032] The first correction belt 15 and the second correction belt 16 are mounted on the outer surface side of the wearing tool 11. The first and second correction belts 15 and 16 are formed of an elastic belt material or the like, and hook-and-loop fasteners 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b are provided at both ends. The first correction belt 15 can bias in the tensile direction on the back side between the right shoulder part 24 and the lower part of the left breast part 23a by connecting the surface fastener 15a at one end to the surface fastener 29a of the right shoulder part 24, arranging it through the back side, and connecting the surface fastener 15b at the other end to the surface fastener 29b of the lower part of the left breast part 23a.

[0033] The second correction belt 16 can bias in the tensile direction on the back side between the right shoulder part 24 and the lower part of the left breast part 23a by connecting the surface fastener 16a at one end to the surface fastener 29a of the left shoulder part 24, arranging it through the back side, and connecting the surface fastener 16b at the other end to the surface fastener 29b of the lower part of the right breast part 23a.

[0034] The conductive glove 13 is worn on both hands of the operator to contact the subject, and as shown in FIG. 1, it is provided separately from the wearing tool 11. By contacting the subject with the conductive glove 13 worn by the operator, a weak beauty current can be supplied to the subject.

[0035] Each conductive glove 13 is formed of a cloth having conductivity and elasticity that fits the hand. For example, a woven fabric having conductivity by weaving conductive fibers such as silver fibers or silver-coated fibers together may be used, or a cloth similar to the conductive cloth 12 of the wearing tool 11 may be used. It is preferable that this cloth has substantially uniform conductivity along the surface.

[0036] On the outer surface of the conductive glove 13, similarly to the wearing tool 11, a protruding connected part 17c that can be separated from and connected to the connection end part 17d of the connection cord 17b of the power supply part 17 described later is provided. This connected part 17c is electrically connected to the conductive glove 13. With the conductive glove 13 worn by the operator, by appropriately deforming the hand to support or apply to each part of the subject's shoulder, arm, hand, etc., it can be easily brought into contact with each part.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the power supply unit 17 includes a current control unit 17a capable of generating a weak current for beauty care, and a connection cord 17b from the current control unit 17a. The tip of the connection cord 17b has a connection end portion 17d that can be separated from and connected to the connection portion 17c of the wearing tool 11 and the conductive glove 13.

[0038] The current control unit 17a is a device that outputs a weak alternating current supplied to the human skin for the purpose of obtaining various beauty effects. The waveforms, repetition patterns, output frequencies, output currents, and output voltages on the positive and negative sides, as well as changes in these, are defined for a predetermined period, and thus are set in advance as a plurality of types of rectangular wave alternating current patterns. In this embodiment, in response to the input of the soft mode and the normal mode, the voltage of the rectangular wave alternating current output from the output unit 18 is set to a preset voltage mode to adjust the voltage value. For example, in the soft mode, the alternating current voltage is 0.3V to 0.4V, and in the normal mode, the alternating current voltage can be switched in multiple steps within the range of 0.3V to 3.9V.

[0039] As shown in FIGS. 14(a) to (d), the weak current for beauty care has a rectangular wave alternating current pattern of a plurality of specific waveforms in which the potential of one level and the potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential have a constant absolute value of the maximum value. To generate the rectangular wave alternating current pattern, in the soft mode and the normal mode, for example, by adjusting the duty ratio by PWM control, five types of basic rectangular waves A to E shown in FIGS. 13A to 13E are generated. Here, in each case, the basic waveforms A to E are generated by combining pulses with controlled on-off times, and by combining these basic rectangular waves A to E, four types of rectangular wave alternating current patterns W1 to W4 as shown in FIGS. 14(a) to (d) are generated. In this embodiment, the reference time is 400 msec in each figure. Specifically, a basic waveform A shown in (A) formed by combining the waveform on the high level side shown in (H) and the waveform on the low level side shown in (L) of FIG. 13A, a basic waveform B shown in (B) formed by combining the waveform on the high level side shown in (H) and the waveform on the low level side shown in (L) of FIG. 13B, a basic waveform C shown in (C) formed by combining the waveform on the high level side shown in (H) and the waveform on the low level side shown in (L) of FIG. 13C, a basic waveform D shown in (D) formed by combining the waveform on the high level side shown in (H) and the waveform on the low level side shown in (L) of FIG. 13D, and a basic waveform E shown in (E) formed by combining the waveform on the high level side shown in (H) and the waveform on the low level side shown in (L) of FIG. 13E are combined to generate four types of rectangular wave AC patterns.

[0040] The multiple types of rectangular wave AC patterns of this embodiment include an adaptation pattern W1 of the waveform shown in FIG. 14(a) for the purpose of making weak alternating current adaptable to the body, a lift-up pattern W2 shown in FIG. 14(b) for the purpose of improving wrinkles or sagging on the outer surface of the body, a fixing pattern W3 shown in FIG. 14(c) for the purpose of fixing the lift-up effect, and a sustaining pattern W4 shown in FIG. 14(d) for the purpose of sustaining the fixed lift-up effect.

[0041] Each rectangular wave AC pattern is formed by combining the output of a reference potential, a potential of one level, or a potential of the other level in a rectangular wave by means of on-off output of a potential selected from a plurality of preset voltage levels. Each pattern is generated with the same period, and in this embodiment, one period is set to 12.8 seconds. The four types of rectangular wave AC patterns are sequentially output repeatedly for a predetermined time set by the operation unit 13 once each.

[0042] The pattern W1 for adaptation is a waveform generated by combining the basic waveform A and the basic waveform B. Taking one unit obtained by dividing one period into 32 equal parts as the reference time, it has a reference single pattern that alternately and continuously outputs the potential of one level and the potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential once each for one reference time, a reference triple pattern that outputs the reference single pattern three times continuously, and a pause for maintaining the reference potential. After a 1 / 4-time pause, it outputs waveforms in the order of the reference triple pattern, a 2-fold time pause, the reference triple pattern, a 2-fold time pause, the reference single pattern, a 2-fold time pause, the reference single pattern, a 2-fold time pause, the reference single pattern, a 2-fold time pause, the reference single pattern, and a 7 / 4-time pause.

[0043] The pattern W2 for lifting is a waveform generated by combining the basic waveform D and the basic waveform C. Taking one unit obtained by dividing one period into 32 equal parts as the reference time, it has a 3.5-fold single pattern that outputs the potential of one level with respect to the reference potential for 3.5 times the reference time, maintains the reference potential for the reference time, and then outputs the potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential for 3.5 times the reference time, a 2-fold single pattern that outputs the potential of one level with respect to the reference potential for 2 times the reference time, maintains the reference potential for 2 times the reference time, and then outputs the potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential for 2 times the reference time, and a pause for maintaining the reference potential. After a 5 / 4-time pause, it outputs waveforms in the order of the 3.5-fold single pattern, the 3.5-fold single pattern, the 2-fold single pattern, a 2-fold time pause, the 2-fold single pattern, and a 3 / 4-time pause.

[0044] The fixing pattern W3 is a waveform generated by combining the basic waveform E and the basic waveform A. With one unit obtained by dividing one period into 32 equal parts as the reference time, it outputs a potential of one level with respect to the reference potential for 1 / 4 of the reference time, maintains the reference potential for 1 / 4 of the reference time, outputs the potential of one level again for 1 / 4 of the reference time, maintains the reference potential for the reference time, outputs a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential for 1 / 4 of the reference time, maintains the reference potential for 1 / 4 of the reference time, and outputs the potential of the other level again for 1 / 4 of the reference time, which is a 1 / 4 - multiple 2 - time pattern; and it outputs the reference single - pattern, which alternately and continuously outputs a potential of one level and a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential one time each for the reference time, continuously twice, which is the reference 2 - time pattern, and has a pause for maintaining the reference potential. After a 1 / 4 - time pause, it outputs a waveform in the order of a 1 / 4 - multiple 2 - time pattern, a 2 - time pause, a 1 / 4 - multiple 2 - time pattern, a 2 - time pause, a 1 / 4 - multiple 2 - time pattern, a 3 - time pause, the reference 2 - time pattern, a 2 - time pause, a 1 / 4 - multiple 2 - time pattern, a reference - time pause, the reference 2 - time pattern, and a 7 / 4 - time pause.

[0045] The sustaining pattern W4 is a waveform generated by combining the basic waveform D and the basic waveform C. With one unit obtained by dividing one period into 32 equal parts as the reference time, it has a 3.5 - multiple single - pattern that outputs a potential of one level with respect to the reference potential for 3.5 times the reference time, maintains the reference potential for the reference time, and outputs a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential for 3.5 times the reference time; a 2 - multiple single - pattern that outputs a potential of one level with respect to the reference potential for 2 times the reference time, maintains the reference potential for 2 times the reference time, and outputs a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential for 2 times the reference time; and a pause for maintaining the reference potential. It maintains the reference potential for 3.5 times the reference time, outputs a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential once, and then outputs in the order of the 3.5 - multiple single - pattern, the 2 - multiple single - pattern, and a 3.5 - time pause. Then, it alternately and continuously outputs a potential of one level with respect to the reference potential and a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential once each for 3.5 times the reference time, and maintains the reference potential for 1 / 2 of the reference time.

[0046] In the normal mode, the beauty energization device 10 repeats, a plurality of times in the same order, the sequential and continuous output of the acclimation pattern W1, the lift-up pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4, each once, and outputs them during a treatment time that is preset and selected by an input to the operation unit 13. Here, it is possible to configure the acclimation pattern W1, the lift-up pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4 to be repeatedly output in this order with a plurality of cycles for each pattern. For example, one pattern may be continuously repeated for a time period obtained by dividing the entire treatment time into four parts, and the acclimation pattern W1, the lift-up pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4 may be output over the entire treatment time. Further, by repeatedly energizing the acclimation pattern W1, the lift-up pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4 one by one in a short time, preferably by simultaneously energizing a plurality of positions on the body in synchronization, the necessity of necessarily limiting the order of the four patterns can be reduced. For example, the four patterns may be repeatedly output a large number of times by outputting the sustaining pattern W4, the lift-up pattern W2, the acclimation pattern W1, and the fixing pattern W3 one by one in this order.

[0047] In the power supply unit 17, by connecting the connection cord 17b connected to the current control unit 17a to the wearing tool 11 or the conductive glove 13, such a weak electric current for beauty is supplied to one or both of the conductive cloth 12 of the wearing tool 11 and the conductive glove 13.

[0048] Next, a beauty method using the beauty device including the beauty instrument 10 of the present embodiment will be described. Here, an example of performing a treatment for bust enhancement will be used. In this beauty method, as shown in FIG. 15, after performing a pretreatment S1 on the upper body of the subject, a first power supply process S10 is performed in which the beauty instrument 10 is worn on the upper body of the subject to supply a weak electric current for beauty, and then a second power supply process S20 is performed in which a weak electric current for beauty is supplied using the conductive glove 13.

[0049] First, in the pretreatment S1, a massage is appropriately applied to the upper body of the subject, and a beauty agent is applied. The beauty agent to be used is a gel agent containing an energizing component and a moisturizing component, etc., and is applied to a wider range, preferably the entire surface, of the skin of the subject at the site where the conductive cloth 12 of the beauty instrument 10 contacts.

[0050] Next, in the first power supply process S10, in step S11, the beauty instrument 10 is worn on the upper body of the subject. When the subject wears the beauty instrument 10 by himself / herself, first connect the right half body 11a and the left half body 11b on the back side via the width adjustment part 28, insert both arms into the right and left armholes 21, and connect them on the chest 23 side by the fastener 27.

[0051] When the operator wears it, first connect the right half body 11a and the left half body 11b on the chest 23 side by the fastener 27, insert both arms into the right and left armholes 21, and connect them on the back side via the width adjustment part 28. In any case, the width adjustment part 28 is used to adjust so that the beauty instrument 10 has a circumference suitable for the subject's waist size and bust size, and the right half body 11a and the left half body 11b are connected.

[0052] After wearing the beauty instrument 10, in step S12, the first correction belt 15 and the second correction belt 16 are attached to the outer surface of the mounting tool 11. One end side surface fastener 15a of the first correction belt 15 is connected to the surface fastener 29a provided on the right shoulder 24 above the upper part 23b of the right breast of the beauty instrument 10, passed through while inclining the back side, and the other end side surface fastener 15b is connected to the surface fastener 29b provided on the lower part 23a of the left breast.

[0053] One end side surface fastener 16a of the second correction belt 16 is connected to the surface fastener 29a provided on the left shoulder 24 above the upper part 23b of the left breast of the beauty instrument 10, passed through while inclining the back side, and the other end side surface fastener 16b is connected to the surface fastener 29b provided on the lower part 23a of the right breast.

[0054] As a result, the first and second correction belts 15 and 16 are arranged to cross each other in an X shape on the back side, and a biasing force in the tensile direction acts between both ends thereof. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the subject from assuming a posture curved forward during the treatment, and it is possible to improve the beauty effect on the back side.

[0055] In this state, as step S13, a weak beauty current is supplied to the skin of the subject by the conductive cloth 12 of the beauty device 10. The connection cord 17b of the power supply unit 17 is connected to the beauty device 10 in advance, and the weak beauty current generated by the current control unit 17a can be supplied to the conductive cloth 12 of the beauty device 10.

[0056] Then, in the current control unit 17a, an optimal weak beauty current corresponding to each mode or the like is generated based on various data and supplied to the beauty device 10. Here, as the weak beauty current, a familiarization pattern W1, a lift-up pattern W2, a fixing pattern W3, and a continuous pattern W4 are supplied according to each setting. In this step S13, various beauty effects such as the repair or strengthening of the Cooper ligament can be expected by activating cells or generating collagen, etc. by supplying the weak beauty current, and the desired beauty effect can be realized by repeated treatments.

[0057] After the start of the supply of the weak beauty current, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the supply is stopped as step S14. This supply time is preferably adjusted in combination with the second power supply process S20 using the conductive gloves 13. After stopping the supply of the weak beauty current, in step S15, the beauty device 10 is removed from the subject, thereby ending the first power supply process S10.

[0058] Next, in the second power supply process S20, after applying a beauty agent to the décolletage, shoulders, arms, fingertips, etc. of the subject in step S21, the conductive gloves 13 are worn on both hands of the operator in step S22, and are connected to the current control unit 17a of the power supply unit 17 by the connection cord 17b so that the weak beauty current generated by the current control unit 17a can be supplied to the conductive gloves 13.

[0059] Although not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, the power supply unit 17 uses the same one as that used in the first power supply process S10, and is capable of supplying the same weak electric current for beauty treatment as described above to the conductive glove 13.

[0060] And as step S23, a treatment using the conductive glove 13 is performed. In this step S23, while supplying a weak electric current for beauty treatment to the conductive gloves 13 worn on both hands of the operator and bringing the conductive gloves 13 into contact with the skin of the subject, massages or stretches are performed on the shoulders, arms, hands, etc. of the subject, or the conductive gloves 13 are applied to the shoulders, arms, hands, etc. and held at a predetermined position.

[0061] For example, in the treatment for breast augmentation on the left side, the following treatment is performed with the subject lying on their back. (1) As shown in FIG. 16, hold the subject's wrist or elbow with the operator's left hand, and move the operator's right hand from above the subject's wrist towards the upper arm and shoulder tip so as to turn the flesh from the inside to the outside to tighten the upper arm. (2) As shown in FIG. 17, place the operator's right hand against the subject's scapula, and press and adhere to the armpit under the base of the subject's arm with the four fingers of the operator's left hand. (3) As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, press the armpit under the base of the subject's arm with the four fingers of the operator's left hand, support the subject's wrist with the operator's right hand, and rotate the subject's arm greatly from the left shoulder side through above the head to the right shoulder side with the arm extended. At the same time, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the operator's left hand moves while sliding from the armpit to guide the breast back to its original position and perform a lifting action. (4) As shown in FIG. 20, support the subject's wrist with the operator's right hand and grip the subject's shoulder with the operator's left hand to lift the muscle from the shoulder tip to the back of the shoulder. (5) As shown in FIG. 21, press down the subject's trapezius muscle with the operator's right hand and lift the subject's pectoral muscle with the operator's left hand.

[0062] In such step S23, various beauty effects such as activating tissues, relaxing muscles, and promoting blood circulation in peripheral areas can be expected by supplying a weak current for beauty purposes. By combining with the first power supply process S10, it is possible to promote the beauty effect on the chest. When the blood flow state when performing the treatment including the above (1) to (5) in step S23 was measured by thermography, the blood flow state was improved compared to the case where the treatment was not performed. Furthermore, when the effect of improving the shape by enhancing the bust of the breast part was confirmed by photographing, compared to the case where the treatment was not performed, the swelling and firmness on the upper side of the breast part were improved and the shape was improved by enhancing the bust of the breast part.

[0063] In such step S23, it is preferable to adjust and set the energization conditions in combination with the power supply conditions of the first power supply process S1 according to the subject to be treated, the degree of treatment, etc. For example, for a subject with a bust size of A to E sizes, if the strength of the weak current for beauty supplied to the conductive cloth 12 in the first power supply process S10 and the strength of the weak current for beauty supplied to the conductive glove 13 in the second power supply process S20 are set to medium and the power supply time for each is set to 10 minutes, then for a subject with a bust size of F to I sizes, by increasing the strength of the weak current for beauty supplied to the conductive cloth 12 in the first power supply process S10 and the strength of the weak current for beauty supplied to the conductive glove 13 in the second power supply process S20 and setting the power supply time for each to 15 minutes, each treatment may be performed.

[0064] Thereafter, at the stage where a predetermined type of treatment is performed, in step S24, the supply of the weak current for beauty to the conductive glove 13 is stopped, and the treatment using the conductive glove 13 is stopped. Furthermore, as step S25, by performing a finishing massage with bare hands, the second power supply process S20 is terminated.

[0065] According to the beauty device 10 as described above, the three-dimensional first conductive cloth 12a corresponding to the breast part 23c covering the breast of the subject is laminated and sewn inside the breast part 23c, and a second conductive cloth 12b separate from the first conductive cloth 12a is laminated and sewn inside the wearing tool main body 11c covering the chest other than the breast. Then, the outer peripheral edge of the breast part 23c and the inner peripheral edge of the wearing tool main body 11c are joined by the chest suture part 31, and this chest suture part 31 is covered from the inside by the chest covering part 32. Also, the edge part of the first conductive cloth 12a and the edge part of the second conductive cloth 12b are covered from the inside by the chest covering part 32 together with the chest suture part 31. Therefore, while preventing deformation, distortion, etc. of the treatment site on the upper body of the subject as much as possible, the breast part 23c and the wearing tool main body 11c can fit and press the entire skin of the treatment site as uniformly as possible. The entire first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b laminated on the inner surfaces of the breast part 23c and the wearing tool main body 11c can be evenly pressed against the entire skin of each treatment site. Even if the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are formed in different shapes from each other, it is possible to prevent uneven stretching, bending, distortion, deformation, etc. from occurring. Therefore, the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b can be stably contacted with the entire skin of the treatment part evenly. Also, even if worn repeatedly, deterioration is less likely to occur in the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b.

[0066] Also, even if the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are formed separately, the weak electric current for beauty supplied to the wearing tool main body 11c side is supplied to the breast part 23c side by being electrically connected by the connection part 12c arranged between the chest suture part 31 and the chest covering part 32. Therefore, combined with the fact that the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b stably contact the entire skin of the treatment part evenly, it is possible to supply the weak electric current for beauty to the skin of the subject's breast and the skin other than the breast evenly and in a well-balanced manner, and it is easy to obtain a stable beauty effect. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the subject from feeling discomfort due to the supply of unstable or uneven weak electric current to the subject's skin.

[0067] In addition, in the beauty device 10 described above, since the connection portion 12c is formed by extending a part of one of the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b and overlapping and sewing it to the other, the connection portion 12c can be formed simply.

[0068] Furthermore, in the beauty device 10 described above, a three-dimensional pad 14 is disposed between the breast portion 23c and the first conductive cloth 12a. Therefore, it is easy to keep the first conductive cloth 12a in a stable shape and easy to stably contact the first conductive cloth 12a with the skin of the subject.

[0069] Also, according to the beauty method of the present embodiment using the beauty device 10 described above, when applying a weak electric current for beauty treatment by bringing the conductive cloth 12 into contact, a beauty agent containing an energizing component and a moisturizing component is applied. Therefore, it is possible to perform the treatment by supplying a weak electric current for beauty treatment while moisturizing the skin of the treatment site, and it is possible to prevent the supply of the weak electric current for beauty treatment from being inhibited due to dryness of the skin and expect a stable beauty effect.

[0070] Furthermore, according to the beauty method of the present embodiment, after performing the first power supply process of supplying a weak electric current for beauty treatment to the skin with the beauty device 10 worn by the subject, the conductive glove 13 is worn on the hand of the operator and brought into contact with the subject to perform the second power supply process of supplying a weak electric current for beauty treatment. Therefore, it is possible to easily and surely bring the conductive glove 13 into contact and supply power to a part other than the part where the beauty device 10 of the subject is worn, regardless of the shape. Therefore, it is possible to supply a weak electric current for beauty treatment while the operator fixes, displaces, or deforms a part other than the part where the beauty device 10 is worn, and it is easy to efficiently improve the beauty effect by the first power supply process.

[0071] Note that the above embodiment can be appropriately changed within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the example where the connection part 12c is formed by extending a part of the first conductive cloth 12a has been described. However, it is not particularly limited. For example, it may be formed by extending a part of the second conductive cloth 12b and overlapping and sewing it on the first conductive cloth 12a. Further, a conductive cloth different from the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b is arranged between the chest sewing part 31 and the chest covering part 32, and both end sides are overlapped and sewn to the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b to form it.

[0072] Also, in the above embodiment, the example where the current control unit 17a outputs the weak beauty current of four types of output patterns as shown in FIGS. 14(a) to (d) has been described. However, the weak beauty current is not limited at all. Any current that can supply power to the skin and obtain a treatment effect can be used. Also, in the above embodiment, the example of the wearing tool 11 in which the right half body 11a and the left half body 11b are connected by the width adjustment part 28 has been described. However, the wearing tool 11 may be integrally formed, and the conductive cloth 12 on the inner surface may be divided into a plurality through an arbitrary insulating part. Furthermore, in the beauty method of the above embodiment, the treatment example in which after performing the first power supply process S10 with the wearing tool 11, the second power supply process S20 is continuously performed using the conductive glove 13 has been described. However, it is also possible to perform only the treatment using the wearing tool 11.

Example

[0073] Next, examples of the present invention will be described. A treatment for bust enhancement using the beauty instrument 10 of the embodiment (Example), and a treatment for bust enhancement using a conventional beauty device (Comparative Example) were performed on 10 identical panelists, and a test was conducted for evaluation by each panelist. In the test, first, the treatment of the comparative example was performed, and then after a sufficient period, the treatment of the example was performed.

[0074] As a conventional beauty device, a device manufactured in the same manner as the beauty device 10 of the embodiment was used, except that the first conductive cloth 12 was not laminated inside the breast part 23c. Also, the same treatment for bust enhancement was performed in terms of the treatment content and method. There were no differences between the example and the comparative example other than the difference in the presence or absence of power supply from the conductive cloth to the skin of the breast of the subject. Also, for the treatment of the same person, all various conditions during the treatment were the same.

[0075] The evaluation was conducted in such a way that each panelist answered a questionnaire after receiving the treatment of the example. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate the treatment of the example on a five-point scale compared to the treatment of the comparative example for the following five items. 1. During and after energization, was there any discomfort or abnormality in the skin of the breast area compared to the treatment of the comparative example? 2. When wearing the beauty device, was there any friction, discomfort, or abnormality in the skin of the breast area due to the conductive cloth of the beauty device compared to the treatment of the comparative example? 3. After the treatment, did you feel firmer breasts compared to the treatment of the comparative example? 4. After the treatment, did you feel more elastic breasts compared to the treatment of the comparative example? 5. After the treatment, did you feel that the height of the breasts increased compared to the treatment of the comparative example?

[0076] As a result, for item 1, out of 10 people, 9 people gave an evaluation of 5 (no problem at all) and 1 person gave an evaluation of 4. For item 2, out of 10 people, 5 people gave an evaluation of 5 (no problem at all), 3 people gave an evaluation of 4, and 2 people gave an evaluation of 3. For item 3, out of 10 people, 7 people felt that the firmness of the breasts changed very much and gave an evaluation of 5, and 3 people gave an evaluation of 4. For item 4, out of 10 people, 8 people felt that the elasticity of the breasts changed very much and gave an evaluation of 5, and 2 people gave an evaluation of 4. For item 5, out of 10 people, 8 people felt that the height of the breasts changed very much and gave an evaluation of 5, and 2 people gave an evaluation of 4.

[0077] In the above tests, for most items, the treatment using the beauty device 10 of the embodiment showed an improvement compared to the treatment using a conventional beauty device where the conductive cloth was not present in the breast area. That is, in the beauty device 10 of the embodiment, the conductive cloth could be stably brought into contact with the skin of the breast area and the skin of other areas of the subject evenly, and the weak electric current for beauty could be supplied evenly. This indicates that the discomfort to the subject was suppressed and the effect of bust-up was improved.
