Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin beauty device, and more particularly to a skin beauty device for eye skin care that can perform eye skin care treatment safely at home while protecting the eye skin of a subject, and an eye skin care treatment method using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, massage refers to rubbing, tapping, or kneading with hands to make the skin elastic or relieve muscle fatigue, and can be done with bare hands or with tools.

[0003] Recently, various beauty tools that allow users to perform such massage treatments at home have become increasingly popular.

[0004] Such beauty devices lower the barrier to beauty treatments such as massage and increase accessibility by allowing users to easily perform treatments in their own homes at times of their choosing.

[0005] On the other hand, the skin around the eyes is the most vulnerable part of the human face.

[0006] However, in order to express beauty, a wide variety of products such as eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, etc. have been developed, and excessive use of these products can weaken the skin around the eyes, putting a great strain on eye health.

[0007] In addition, the destruction of the ozone layer has increased the likelihood of exposure to ultraviolet rays, and exposure to heavy metals due to yellow sand and particulate matter, as well as increased exposure to external pollutants such as increased carbon dioxide and harmful chemicals, has made the skin around the eyes weaker and less stable. Furthermore, over time, wrinkles tend to form around the eyes more easily than in other areas.

[0008] The skin around the eyes of the human face is constantly and repeatedly moved by the orbicularis oculi muscle throughout life, and is the thinnest part of the body with a low density of sebaceous glands, which causes skin elasticity to rapidly decrease, making it the area where skin aging is most noticeable. It is also a sensitive area, located over or around the eyeball, an important organ of the human body.

[0009] This means that the skin around the eyes is the most important part of the face when it comes to managing the condition of the skin, but it is also the most difficult part to manage.

[0010] Therefore, in order to care for the skin around the eyes at home, the skin care tools used must be equipped with more precise and detailed functions than those used for beauty treatments on other parts of the body.

[0011] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0017411 proposes an eyeball massager as a device for managing and massaging the skin around the eyes. However, this conventional device is a simple massage device that uses vibration, making it difficult to perform detailed management around the eyes and making it difficult to use for wrinkle improvement or cosmetic treatments.

[0012] In addition, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0087324 discloses an eyeglass-type massager for stimulating the skin around the eyes, which applies EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) electrical stimulation signals using low-frequency microcurrents to the skin muscles around the eyes, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0020008 discloses a promotion device for delivering therapeutic transdermal drug delivery to the skin using frequency pulses.

[0013] [Patent Document 1] Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0087324 [Patent Document 2] Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0020008 [Patent Document 3] Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0017411

[0014] However, such conventional devices not only have a complicated structure, but also have separate structures for stimulating the skin around the eyes and administering medication, making them difficult to use at home and inconvenient to use.

[0015] Furthermore, the skin around the eyes requires detailed cosmetic treatment, but due to its structural characteristics, detailed cosmetic treatment is difficult to perform. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0016] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a skin beauty device for eye skin care that can perform cosmetic treatment on eye skin more safely at home while protecting the eye skin of the treatment recipient, and an eye skin care treatment method using the same.

[0017] The present invention also provides a skin beauty device for eye skin care that not only induces collagen synthesis around the eye skin to improve wrinkles but also maximizes the skin penetration effect of active ingredients, and a method for eye skin care using the same.

[0018] In addition, the present invention provides a skin beauty device for eye skin care that uses a single electrode unit but maximizes stability on the eye skin by using a ball-shaped electrode head, and maximizes the beauty treatment effect on the eye skin through two different types of electrical stimulation, and an eye skin care treatment method using the same.

[0019] The objects of the present invention are not limited to the objects mentioned above, and other objects not mentioned above will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains from the following description. [Means for solving the problem]

[0020] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a skin care device for managing skin around the eyes.

[0021] The skin beauty device for eye skin care may include a grippable main body, a single electrode unit having a ball-shaped electrode head on one side of the main body, and a control unit provided on the main body.

[0022] In this case, the single electrode unit may perform a shot mode treatment in which the single electrode unit brushes against the eye skin of the treatment recipient at a position spaced apart from the eye skin by a set distance and applies a high-voltage electrical stimulation to the eye skin in response to a control signal from the control unit, or may perform a booster mode treatment in which the single electrode unit contacts the eye skin of the treatment recipient and applies a low-voltage electrical stimulation, which is compared to the high voltage of the shot mode treatment, to the eye skin in response to a control signal from the control unit.

[0023] In this case, the main body may include a power terminal connected to an external power source or a battery.

[0024] In this case, the body may include a switch unit electrically connected to the control unit on one side thereof.

[0025] In this case, the switch unit may include a power switch for applying power and a mode switch for selecting the shot mode treatment or the booster mode treatment.

[0026] If necessary, the main body unit may further include a lens unit arranged adjacent to the single electrode unit, and a communication unit that transmits an image of the eye skin of the treatment subject captured through the lens unit to an external display via a wired or wireless network.

[0027] Meanwhile, the main body may further include a notification unit that notifies the user of the usage state.

[0028] The notification unit can display any one of a light emitting signal, a vibration signal, and a sound signal.

[0029] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an eye skin care treatment method using a skin care device for eye skin care.

[0030] The method for treating eye skin using a skin beauty device for treating eye skin uses a skin beauty device for treating eye skin, which includes a grippable main body, a single electrode unit having a ball-shaped electrode head on one side of the main body, and a control unit provided on the main body.

[0031] In this case, the eye skin management treatment method using the skin beauty device for eye skin management may include an eye skin drying step of removing moisture from the surface layer of the eye skin of the treatment recipient to dry it, a shot mode treatment step of separating the single electrode unit from the eye skin of the treatment recipient to a set distance and then emitting a pre-set high voltage to the eye skin while grazing the eye skin, a skin active ingredient application step of applying an ingredient effective for skin beauty to the eye skin that has undergone the shot mode treatment step, and a booster mode treatment step of contacting the single electrode unit with the eye skin of the treatment recipient to which the skin active ingredient has been applied and then emitting a pre-set low voltage to the eye skin.

[0032] At this time, the high voltage in the shot mode treatment step forms a voltage higher than the low voltage in the booster mode treatment step.

[0033] For example, the shot mode treatment step may include a shot mode treatment application process for generating a high voltage that has already been set according to a selection signal from a switch unit; a process for separating the single electrode unit from the eye skin of a treatment subject at a set distance and grazing the eye skin, thereby generating thermal sparks multiple times through electrical stimulation using the high voltage on the surface layer of the eye skin that has been dried and dehydrated; a process for forming microscopic scratches on the surface layer of the eye skin by the thermal sparks; and a process for inducing collagen synthesis in the eye skin as the microscopic scratches are repaired.

[0034] At this time, the shot mode treatment application process may generate a preset high voltage through a high voltage micro-thermal spark generating circuit provided in the control unit.

[0035] For example, the booster mode treatment step may include a booster mode treatment application process for generating a low voltage that has already been set according to a selection signal from a switch unit; a process for contacting the single electrode unit with the skin around the eye, on which a skin active ingredient has been applied, and then forming electric holes on the surface of the skin around the eye through electrical stimulation using a low voltage, which allows penetration at the molecular level; and a process for rubbing the surface layer of the skin around the eye with the single electrode unit, thereby allowing the applied skin active ingredient to penetrate the electric holes.

[0036] Meanwhile, the shot mode treatment step, the skin active ingredient application step, and the booster mode treatment step may further include a treatment confirmation step of transmitting an image of the eye skin captured through a lens unit disposed adjacent to the single electrode unit to an external display via a wired or wireless network for confirmation. [Effects of the Invention]

[0037] According to the above-described configuration, the skin beauty device for eye skin care and the eye skin care treatment method using the same according to the present invention has a single electrode unit with a ball-shaped electrode head at the end, which is bent, so that it can provide safe and suitable electrical stimulation to the narrow skin around the eyes, and has the effect of further increasing stability and maximizing the effect of the beauty treatment.

[0038] In addition, a single skin beauty device can be used to perform both high-voltage shot mode treatment and low-voltage booster mode treatment, which has the effect of allowing beauty treatments for the skin around the eyes to be easily performed at home.

[0039] In addition, the shot mode treatment generates minute micro-thermal sparks using high voltage to instantly stimulate the epidermis layer around the eyes, inducing collagen synthesis beneath the epidermis layer and maximizing the effect of wrinkle improvement.

[0040] In addition, since the electrode head of the single electrode unit has a ball shape, it is softer and can apply electrical stimulation over a wider area than conventional pointed tip tips, which has the effect of preventing unnecessary skin damage to the skin around the eyes.

[0041] In addition, the single electrode unit can deliver electrical stimulation deeper into the skin layer, thereby enabling more precise cosmetic treatments to be performed according to the characteristics of the skin around the eyes.

[0042] In addition, the electrode head of the single electrode unit has a ball shape and is bent to accommodate the narrow skin pattern around the eyes, allowing cosmetic treatment to be performed on the skin in the same way in any direction during treatment, thereby optimizing cosmetic treatment for the skin around the eyes.

[0043] In addition, it can perform both a shot mode treatment, which gives instant stimulation to the skin around the eyes, causing minute wounds and allowing it to recover, and a booster mode treatment, which reduces redness, heat, and pain on the skin after applying active ingredients and helps the active ingredients to be absorbed, thereby effectively soothing and regenerating the skin around the eyes.

[0044] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects described above, but should be understood to include all effects that can be inferred from the configuration of the invention described in the detailed description of the present invention or the claims.

[0055] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A skin care device for eye skin care and an eye skin care method using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a skin beauty device for eye skin management according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of internal components of the skin beauty device for eye skin management according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a shot mode treatment using the skin beauty device for eye skin management according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a booster mode treatment using the skin beauty device for eye skin management according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a skin beauty device for eye skin management according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart of an eye skin management treatment method using the skin beauty device for eye skin management according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] As shown in the drawings, the skin beauty device for eye skin care and the eye skin care treatment method using the same according to the embodiment of the present invention are designed to allow a subject to perform two types of cosmetic treatments on the eye skin more safely at home while protecting the eye skin E / S (FIG. 3).

[0058] 1 and 2, a skin care device 100 for managing eye skin according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a main body 110, a single electrode unit 120, and a control unit 150.

[0059] The main body 110 may further include a switch unit 140 for allowing power application or selecting a shot mode treatment or a booster mode treatment, and an alarm unit 130 for checking the usage status of the skin beauty device 100.

[0060] More specifically, the main body 110 has a shape that can be held by a user. For example, the main body 110 may be in the shape of a pen or a polygon with a separate handle.

[0061] Such a main body 110 is not limited to a specific shape, and can be deformed in various ways as long as the user can hold the main body 110 and perform the shot mode treatment or booster mode treatment described below on the treatment recipient (which may be the user himself or herself or another person).

[0062] However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shot mode treatment and the booster mode treatment are treatments that use electrical stimulation, and in the illustration, the main body 110 is preferably shown to have a single pen shape for safe and precise cosmetic treatment.

[0063] Meanwhile, the main body 110 includes a control unit 150 therein, and may include a power terminal unit (not shown) connected to an external power source as needed for power application, or may include a battery unit (not shown). The battery unit may be rechargeable, so the skin beauty device 100 of the present invention may be wired or wireless.

[0064] The skin beauty device 100 for eye skin management according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode unit 120 on one side of the main body 110 so as to apply high or low voltage electrical stimulation to the eye skin E / S.

[0065] In this case, the electrode unit 120 is of a monopolar type and can be referred to as a single electrode unit 120, and the single electrode unit 120 includes an electrode head 121 at one end.

[0066] Meanwhile, as described above, the present invention performs a cosmetic treatment on the eye skin E / S of a treatment recipient, and therefore, the electrode head 121 may preferably have a ball shape.

[0067] In skin cosmetic treatments using electrical stimulation, electrode heads typically have sharp tips, but such sharp tips can inadvertently cause unnecessary damage to the skin around the eyes. Furthermore, such sharp tips cannot perform massage functions such as rubbing the skin around the eyes.

[0068] To solve these problems and to apply electrical stimulation to the skin over a wider area than a tip, the single electrode unit 120 of the skin beauty device 100 of the present invention is characterized by having a ball-shaped electrode head 121.

[0069] In addition, the single electrode unit 120 can apply electrical stimulation deeper to the skin around the eyes E / S compared to a bipolar electrode, and can apply electrical stimulation to the desired location while preventing unnecessary skin damage while instantly stimulating the surface layer (epidermal layer) of the skin around the eyes E / S.

[0070] Meanwhile, if necessary, the single electrode unit 120 may have a structure including a stick portion 122 having a set length at one end of the body portion 110 and the ball-shaped electrode head 121 described above at the end of the stick portion 122. The overall length of the single electrode unit 120 can be set by adjusting the length of the stick portion 122.

[0071] Meanwhile, the control unit 150 is provided in the main body 110 and includes a microcontroller unit (MCU) and a high voltage micro thermal spark generation circuit, so that the control unit 150 can generate a control signal that can generate a high voltage or a low voltage through the high voltage micro thermal spark generation circuit.

[0072] In other words, the control unit 150 includes a high voltage generating unit 151 and a low voltage generating unit 152 (see FIG. 2).

[0073] In response to the control signal from the control unit 150, the high voltage micro-thermal spark generating circuit functions as the high voltage generating unit 151 to generate a high voltage, thereby performing a shot mode treatment using the single electrode unit 120.

[0074] In addition, the high voltage micro-thermal spark generating circuit can generate a low voltage as the low voltage generating unit 152 according to a control signal from the control unit 150, thereby performing a booster mode treatment using the single electrode unit 120.

[0075] In other words, the single electrode unit 120 performs a shot mode treatment using high voltage by repeatedly brushing against the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient at a position spaced apart from the eye skin E / S by a set distance d1 (see FIG. 3) in response to a control signal from the control unit 150 (see FIG. 3).

[0076] The single electrode unit 120 performs a booster mode treatment using a low voltage compared to the high voltage at a position where it contacts the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient in response to a control signal from the control unit 150 (see FIG. 4).

[0077] Such shot mode treatment and booster mode treatment will be described in more detail below.

[0078] Meanwhile, as described above, the skin care device 100 for eye skin care according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the switch unit 140 electrically connected to the control unit 150 on one side of the main body 110 .

[0079] The switch unit 140 may include a power switch 141 for applying power through an external power source or a battery, and a mode switch 142 for selecting the shot mode treatment or the booster mode treatment.

[0080] The mode switch 142 may be selectively pressed by a user of the skin beauty device 100 to select a treatment mode, or may be set to automatically change the treatment mode after a set time has elapsed. Of course, the power switch 141 may automatically turn off the power supply after a set time has elapsed, preventing the mode treatment from being performed.

[0081] This is because the skin beauty device 100 of the present invention performs skin beauty treatment through electrical stimulation, preventing skin damage caused by treatment over an excessively long period of time, and allowing skin beauty treatment to be performed more safely at home.

[0082] For this purpose, the control unit 150 may further include a timer unit (not shown), and one side of the main body 110 may further include a separate switch for operating the time set in the timer unit, or the above-mentioned power switch 141 or mode switch 142 may further include a function for performing the corresponding function.

[0083] Meanwhile, the main body 110 may further include an indicator 130 on one side that indicates to the outside that the skin beauty device 100 of the present invention is in use, i.e., is in a state where treatment is possible or in progress, thereby informing the user of the use state.

[0084] In this case, the notification unit 130 can generate a notification signal in response to a control signal from the control unit 150.

[0085] If necessary, such a notification signal may be any one of a light emitting signal that uses a flashing light to indicate the usage status, a vibration signal that uses the vibration of a vibration element to indicate the usage status, or an audio signal that uses a speaker or the like to indicate the usage status using a pre-stored voice or sound.

[0086] Of course, if necessary, such notification signals can be used to indicate the usage state by a single signal or a plurality of signals.

[0087] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, the skin beauty device 100 for eye skin management according to another embodiment of the present invention allows the user or the person receiving the treatment to more clearly check the status of the beauty treatment for the eye skin E / S through the external display 200.

[0088] To this end, in the skin beauty device 100 for eye skin management according to another embodiment of the present invention, the main body 110 may further include a lens unit 160 arranged adjacent to the single electrode unit 120 so as to be able to photograph the eye skin E / S on which the skin beauty treatment is being performed.

[0089] The main body 110 may further include a communication unit 170 that transmits the image of the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient captured through the lens unit 160 to the external display 200 via a wired or wireless network.

[0090] Of course, the image transmission of the communication unit 170 can be controlled through the control unit 150. Also, it is possible to select whether or not to transmit the image by operating the mode of the switch unit 140.

[0091] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 6 together with FIGS. 1 to 5, the eye skin care treatment method using the skin beauty device 100 for eye skin care according to an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below.

[0092] As described above, the skin beauty device 100 for eye skin management according to an embodiment of the present invention can stably and continuously perform two types of beauty treatments on the eye skin E / S using a single electrode unit 120.

[0093] First, before discussing the eye skin care treatment method, the shot mode treatment of the skin care device 100 for eye skin care according to an embodiment of the present invention will be discussed as follows.

[0094] The skin beauty device 100 for eye skin management of the present invention performs a shot mode treatment using high voltage in response to a control signal from the control unit 150 by repeatedly placing the single electrode unit 120 at a position spaced apart from the eye skin E / S of the person to be treated by a set distance d1 (see FIG. 3) and brushing it against the eye skin E / S (see FIG. 3).

[0095] This shot mode treatment is one of the treatment methods using electrical stimulation, in which the single electrode unit 120 is placed at a position separated from the eye skin E / S and repeatedly brushes against the eye skin E / S, generating minute micro-thermal sparks A with instantaneous high voltage to instantaneously stimulate the surface layer (epidermal layer) of the eye skin E / S.

[0096] This shot mode treatment induces collagen synthesis beneath the epidermal layer of the skin around the eyes, thereby improving wrinkles.

[0097] When the single electrode unit 120 is placed at a position spaced apart from the eye skin E / S and a high voltage is momentarily applied while repeatedly brushing against the eye skin E / S, a minute micro-thermal spark A is momentarily generated between the eye skin E / S and the electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120.

[0098] This thermal spark A generates heat in the skin around the eye, creating microscopic wounds, which then undergo healing and regeneration to repair these wounds. During this process, collagen becomes more densely packed in the wounds than in older skin, forming granulation tissue, which can be considered to induce collagen synthesis.

[0099] This collagen synthesis induction can improve wrinkles W (Figure 3) around the eye skin E / S.

[0100] Meanwhile, the electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120 is designed to be round in a ball-type shape, so it is bent and can fit into the narrow skin pattern around the eyes, allowing it to provide the same electrical stimulation in any direction during shot mode treatment.

[0101] Next, before discussing the eye skin care treatment method, the booster mode treatment of the skin care device 100 for eye skin care according to an embodiment of the present invention will be discussed as follows.

[0102] The skin beauty device 100 for eye skin management of the present invention performs a booster mode treatment using a low voltage compared to the high voltage of the shot mode treatment described above at the position where it comes into contact with the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient (see FIG. 4).

[0103] Booster mode treatment is a treatment method that uses electrical stimulation, called electroporation, to penetrate the eye skin E / S with the main ingredients of cosmetics and drugs containing active ingredients to promote their absorption.

[0104] In other words, when the single electrode unit 120 is placed in contact with the eye skin E / S and a voltage lower than that of the shot mode is momentarily applied, an electric hole H (Figure 4) that can instantly penetrate molecular units is formed in the surface layer (epidermal layer) of the eye skin E / S, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate and promote absorption.

[0105] This booster mode treatment involves applying active ingredients from cosmetics to the eye area E / S, then massaging the area while rubbing to help the active ingredients be absorbed into the skin.

[0106] On the other hand, this booster mode treatment creates electrical holes H (Figure 4) that temporarily connect to the skin without using needles, which has the advantage of making it easier for active ingredients such as hydrophilic and polymeric ingredients that cannot penetrate the epidermis to penetrate deep into the skin. This results in an excellent absorption rate for active ingredients. In other words, ingredients with large particles such as hyaluronic acid and collagen can easily penetrate the skin. In addition, since there is no change in pH, it can act more gently (mildly) on the skin.

[0107] In addition, the electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120 is designed to be round in a ball-type shape, so it is bent and fits into the narrow skin pattern around the eyes, allowing it to give the same electrical stimulation in any direction during booster mode treatment, making it easy to massage and very suitable for skin care around the eyes.

[0108] As described above, the skin care device 100 for eye skin management according to the embodiment of the present invention can perform both a shot mode treatment, which provides instant stimulation to the eye skin E / S, causing minute scratches and healing, and a booster mode treatment, which reduces redness, heat, and pain on the skin to which the active ingredients are applied and promotes absorption of the active ingredients, thereby effectively soothing and regenerating the eye skin.

[0109] The eye skin care treatment method that performs the above-mentioned shot mode treatment and booster mode treatment will be described in more detail below.

[0110] The method for treating eye skin using the skin care device for treating eye skin according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps.

[0111] Referring to FIG. 6, the eye skin care treatment method using the skin beauty device for eye skin care mainly includes an eye skin drying step S10, a shot mode treatment step S20, a skin active ingredient application step S30, and a booster mode treatment step S40.

[0112] First, the eye skin drying step S10 is a step of removing moisture from the surface layer of the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient using moisture-absorbing paper or a dry towel to create a dry state.

[0113] This eye skin drying step S10 is intended to maximize the effect of the shot mode treatment described below, and prevents thermal sparks generated during the shot mode treatment from causing unnecessary damage to areas other than the eye skin E / S, allowing the cosmetic treatment to be performed solely on the eye skin.

[0114] Meanwhile, if necessary, the eye skin drying step S10 can of course be performed using a separate drying tool such as a hair dryer.

[0115] Next, the shot mode treatment step S20 is performed.

[0116] The shot mode treatment step S20 is a step in which the single electrode unit 120 is separated from the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient by a set distance d1, and then, while grazing the eye skin E / S, the high voltage that has already been set is emitted to the eye skin E / S according to the control signal of the control unit 150.

[0117] Of course, such set interval d1 can be set depending on the condition of the skin around the eyes and the voltage.

[0118] Specifically, the shot mode treatment step S20 includes a power application process using the power switch 141 of the switch unit 140.

[0119] Also, there is a shot mode treatment application process in which high voltage is generated in the control unit 150 according to the selection signal 140a of the mode switch 142 of the switch unit 140. In this shot mode treatment application process, a preset high voltage is generated through a high voltage micro-thermal spark generation circuit provided in the control unit 150.

[0120] The single electrode unit 120 is then spaced apart from the eye skin E / S of the person receiving treatment at a set distance d1, and while grazing the eye skin E / S, thermal sparks are generated multiple times through electrical stimulation using high voltage on the surface layer of the eye skin E / S, which has been dehydrated and is in a dry state.

[0121] At this time, the thermal sparks cause minute scratches to form on the surface layer of the eye skin E / S.

[0122] As the fine scratches are repaired, the process of inducing collagen synthesis in the eye skin E / S can be carried out continuously.

[0123] Next, the step S30 of applying the skin active ingredient to the eye skin E / S that has undergone the shot mode treatment step S20 continues.

[0124] The step of applying skin active ingredients (S30) is a step of applying an ampoule containing ingredients effective for skin beauty to the skin around the eyes (E / S), and a method of dropping the active ingredients onto the skin around the eyes (E / S) can be used. If necessary, a separate vibration tool can be used to apply the active ingredients to the entire facial skin, including the skin around the eyes.

[0125] In addition, although not shown, the skin care device 100 for eye skin care according to the embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a separate vibration motor, and effective ingredients for skin care may be applied to the eye skin E / S through vibration.

[0126] Such skin active ingredients are not limited to any one of them, and may be ingredients containing hyaluronic acid or collagen.

[0127] Next, a booster mode treatment step S40 is performed on the eye skin E / S.

[0128] The booster mode treatment step S40 is a step in which the ball-shaped electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120 is brought into contact with the eye skin E / S of the treatment recipient to which the skin active ingredient has been applied, and then a low voltage is applied to the eye skin E / S according to a control signal from the control unit 150.

[0129] At this time, the single electrode unit 120 is moved in a massaging manner as shown in FIG. 4 to further maximize the treatment effect.

[0130] Specifically, the booster mode treatment step S40 includes a booster mode treatment application process in which the control unit 150 generates a low voltage according to the selection signal 140a of the mode switch 142 of the switch unit 140. The booster mode treatment application process generates a preset low voltage through a high voltage micro-thermal spark generation circuit provided in the control unit 150.

[0131] Meanwhile, the terms high voltage and low voltage, i.e., high voltage, low voltage, high frequency, and low frequency, are relative concepts used to facilitate understanding of electrical stimulation used in different types of electrotherapy within the same device.

[0132] In other words, the high voltage in the shot mode treatment step S20 described above means a voltage higher than the low voltage in the booster mode treatment step S40, and is not limited to a specific voltage, but can of course be set to any voltage as needed.Furthermore, the low voltage in the booster mode treatment step S40 described above means a voltage lower than the high voltage in the shot mode treatment step S20, and is not limited to a specific voltage, but can of course be set to any voltage as needed.

[0133] Next, the booster mode treatment step S40 includes a process of contacting the electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120 with the eye skin E / S to which the skin active ingredient has been applied after the booster mode treatment application process, and then forming electric holes H (FIG. 4) that can penetrate at the molecular level on the surface of the eye skin E / S through electrical stimulation using a set low voltage.

[0134] Then, the surface layer of the skin around the eyes is rubbed with the single electrode unit 120, and the skin active ingredient is allowed to penetrate into the electric hole H. This helps the skin active ingredient to be absorbed into the skin around the eyes.

[0135] Meanwhile, according to the steps of the eye skin care treatment method using the skin beauty device for eye skin care described above, the skin beauty device 100 of the present invention displays on the outside that it is in use, i.e., in a state where treatment is possible or in progress, and notifies the use status through the notification unit 130.

[0136] Such notification by the notification unit 130 can be called a notification step, and is made when the switch unit 140 is operated, and is of course made simultaneously with the eye skin drying step S10, the shot mode treatment step S20, the skin active ingredient application step S30, and the booster mode treatment step S40.

[0137] In this case, the notification by the notification unit 130 generates a notification signal according to a control signal from the control unit 150. If necessary, the notification signal may be any one of a light emitting signal that uses a flashing light to indicate the usage status with a lamp 131 (FIG. 1), a vibration signal that uses vibration of a vibration element to indicate the usage status, or an audio signal that uses a speaker or the like to indicate the usage status with pre-stored voice or sound.

[0138] Meanwhile, the eye skin care treatment method using the skin beauty device for eye skin care according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a treatment confirmation step of transmitting and confirming an image of the eye skin captured through the lens unit 160 (FIG. 5) arranged adjacent to the single electrode unit 120 to an external display 200 (FIG. 5) via a wired or wireless network.

[0139] Of course, this treatment confirmation step can be included in and performed together with the shot mode treatment step S20, the skin active ingredient application step S30, and the booster mode treatment step S40.

[0140] Through this treatment confirmation step, the user can perform the eye skin cosmetic treatment more safely.

[0141] As described above, the skin beauty device for eye skin care and the eye skin care treatment method using the same according to the present invention has a single electrode unit 120 with a ball-shaped electrode head 121 at the end, which is bent, so that safe and suitable electrical stimulation can be applied to the narrow skin around the eyes, thereby increasing stability and maximizing the beauty treatment effect.

[0142] In addition, one skin beauty device 100 can be used to perform both high-voltage shot mode treatment and low-voltage booster mode treatment, allowing for easy beauty treatment of the eye area at home.

[0143] In addition, the shot mode treatment generates minute micro-thermal sparks using high voltage to instantly stimulate the epidermis, inducing collagen synthesis below the epidermis and maximizing the effect of wrinkle improvement.

[0144] In addition, since the electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120 has a ball shape, it is softer and can apply electrical stimulation over a wider area than conventional pointed tip tips, preventing unnecessary skin damage around the eyes.

[0145] In addition, the single electrode unit 120 can deliver electrical stimulation deeper into the skin layer, allowing for more precise cosmetic treatments to be performed according to the characteristics of the skin around the eyes.

[0146] In addition, the electrode head 121 of the single electrode unit 120 has a ball shape and is bent to accommodate the narrow skin pattern around the eyes, allowing cosmetic treatment to be performed on the skin in the same way in any direction during treatment, thereby optimizing cosmetic treatment for the skin around the eyes.

[0147] In addition, it is possible to perform both a shot mode treatment, which gives instant stimulation to the E / S of the skin around the eyes, causing minute wounds and allowing it to recover, and a booster mode treatment, which reduces redness, heat, and pain on the skin after applying active ingredients and helps the active ingredients to be absorbed, effectively soothing and regenerating the skin around the eyes.

[0148] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described, the concept of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment presented in this specification, and a person skilled in the art who understands the concept of the present invention can easily propose other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, or adding components within the same concept, which would also fall within the concept of the present invention.
