Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] Conventionally, beauty devices that supply weak current to the skin to perform aesthetic treatments such as slimming and skin beautification have been known. For example, the following Patent Document 1 proposes a beauty system that includes a base material that is directly attached to the body and has silver fibers, and a wearable member that is worn on the body over the base material and has electrodes that conduct current to the base material. In this Patent Document 1, the base material and the wearable member are configured as separate entities, so that only the base material can be replaced with a new one while the wearable member is used as is.

[0003] In such conventional beauty devices, the wearable member is composed of a supporter that tightens the body shape and fixes the cloth to the body, and is worn by wrapping the horizontally wrapped part around the body and tightening it. Therefore, if the wearing method is inappropriate, the weak cosmetic current is supplied to the treatment area in a state where the treatment area is deformed or distorted, making it difficult to obtain a stable beauty effect. To solve this problem, the following Patent Document 2 proposes a beauty device that is equipped with a wearing device that has armholes and can be worn on the upper body, and a conductive cloth placed on the inner surface of the wearing device, such as on the upper breast area, making it easier to achieve stable beauty effects.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-296243 A [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2022-68130 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] It has become clear that the cosmetic effect can be improved and stabilized by supplying a weak cosmetic current to the skin of the breast area of ​​the upper body of the patient in the same way as to other areas of the upper body. However, with conventional cosmetic devices, it is not easy to evenly arrange the conductive cloth continuously between the breast area and other areas of the patient's upper body, and it is not easy to bring the conductive cloth into even contact with the skin while preventing deformation or distortion of the breast area of ​​the upper body of the patient as much as possible, and to supply a weak cosmetic current evenly to the same extent as other areas.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a beauty device that can evenly supply the same weak cosmetic current to the entire treatment area of ​​the patient's upper body, making it easy to obtain stable cosmetic effects, and a beauty method using the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the beauty tool of the present invention is a beauty tool comprising a wearing tool that can be worn on the upper body of a person to be treated, and a conductive cloth that is arranged on the inner surface of the wearing tool and is in contact with the skin to supply a weak current for beauty treatment, the wearing tool having a breast portion that has a three-dimensional shape that protrudes outward and covers the breast of the person to be treated, a wearing tool main body that covers the chest other than the breast of the person to be treated, a chest sewing part that sews together the outer periphery of the breast portion and the inner periphery of the wearing tool main body, and a chest covering part that covers the chest sewing part from the inside, and the conductive cloth has a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast portion and is adapted to cover the breast portion. and a second conductive cloth formed separately from the first conductive cloth and layered and sewn to the inside of the wearing device main body, the edges of the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are covered from the inside by the chest covering part together with the chest stitching part, and the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are electrically connected by a connection part arranged between the chest stitching part and the chest covering part, so that a weak current for cosmetic use supplied to the wearing device main body side is supplied to the breast side.

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

[0009] On the other hand, the beauty method of the present invention may be a beauty method using a beauty tool as described above, characterized in that it includes a pretreatment step of applying a beauty agent containing an electrical conductive component and a moisturizing component to the skin, and a power supply step of wearing a wearing device to supply a weak cosmetic current to the skin.

[0010] The beauty method of the present invention may also be a beauty method using the beauty tool as described above and a conductive glove that is worn on the hand of the practitioner and comes into contact with the subject of treatment to supply a weak current for beauty purposes, and may include a first power supply process in which the subject of treatment wears the beauty tool and supplies a weak current for beauty purposes to the skin, and a second power supply process in which the conductive glove comes into contact with the subject of treatment after the first power supply process to supply a weak current for beauty purposes. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the beauty tool of the present invention, a first conductive cloth having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast is layered and sewn to the inside of the breast, and a second conductive cloth separate from the first conductive cloth is layered and sewn to the inside of the wearing device main body covering the chest other than the breasts. The outer peripheral edge of the breast and the inner peripheral edge of the wearing device main body are joined by a chest stitching part, and this chest stitching part is covered from the inside by a chest covering part, and the edge of the first conductive cloth and the edge of the second conductive cloth are also covered from the inside by the chest covering part together with the chest stitching part. Therefore, the entire skin of the treatment area can be held as evenly as possible by the breast part and the wearing device main body while preventing deformation or distortion of the treatment area on the upper body of the patient, and the entire first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth layered on the inner surface of the breast part and the inner surface of the wearing device main body can be pressed evenly against the skin of each treatment area. Even if the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are formed in different shapes, uneven expansion and contraction, bending, distortion, deformation, etc. can be prevented, and the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth can be brought into stable contact evenly with the skin of the treatment area.

[0012] Furthermore, even if the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth are formed separately, they are electrically connected by a connection part arranged between the chest stitching part and the chest covering part, so that the cosmetic weak current supplied to the attachment main body side is supplied to the breast side. This, combined with the first conductive cloth and the second conductive cloth being in even and stable contact with the entire skin of the treatment area, allows the cosmetic weak current to be supplied equally to the skin of the breast area and the skin of other areas of the patient. Therefore, it is possible to provide a beauty tool that can supply the same weak cosmetic current evenly to the entire area to be treated on the upper body of the person to be treated, making it easy to obtain stable cosmetic effects.

[0013] In the beauty tool 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, overlapping and sewing it to the other, the connection part can be formed simply. Furthermore, if a three-dimensional pad is placed between the breast part and the first conductive cloth, it is easy to maintain the first conductive cloth in a stable shape, and it is easy to stably contact the first conductive cloth with the skin of the person to be treated.

[0014] In the cosmetic method of the present invention, after a pretreatment step of applying a cosmetic agent containing an electrical current component and a moisturizing component, a power supplying step is performed in which the wearing device is worn and a weak cosmetic current is supplied to the skin. This allows the skin in the treatment area to be moisturized while the weak cosmetic current is supplied, thereby preventing the supply of the weak cosmetic current from being hindered by dry skin and making it easier to obtain a stable cosmetic effect.

[0015] In addition, after the first power supply process has been performed in which the person being treated wears the beauty tool and a weak current for cosmetic purposes is supplied to the skin, the practitioner can then wear a conductive glove on his or her hand and contact the person being treated to supply a weak current for cosmetic purposes to the skin.This allows the practitioner to easily and reliably contact the conductive glove to supply power to parts of the person being treated other than the part where the beauty tool is worn, regardless of their shape, so that the practitioner can fix, displace, or deform parts of the person being treated other than the part where the beauty tool is worn while supplying a weak current for cosmetic purposes, making it easier to efficiently improve the beauty effects achieved by the first power supply process.

[0017] Hereinafter, a beauty device including a beauty tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, the beauty tool 10 of this embodiment includes a wearing tool 11 that can be worn on the upper body of a person to be treated, a conductive cloth 12 that is disposed on the inner surface of the wearing tool 11 and is in contact with the skin and capable of supplying a weak current for beauty treatment, and a first correction belt 15 and a second correction belt 16 that are disposed on the outer surface of the wearing tool 11. The beauty device of this embodiment further includes a conductive glove 13 that is provided separately from the beauty tool 10 and can be worn on the hand of a practitioner, and a power supply unit 17 that is provided separately from the beauty tool 10 and the conductive glove 13 and is capable of supplying a weak current for beauty treatment to them.

[0018] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the wearing device 11 has a chest portion 23 corresponding to the chest of the person to be treated, a shoulder portion 24 corresponding to the shoulders, a back portion 25 corresponding to the back, and an underarm portion 26 corresponding to the armpits, and is also provided with armholes 21 where the bases of the arms and shoulders of the person to be treated are placed, and a neckhole 22 where the neck and décolleté are placed.

[0019] This wearing device 11 has a breast part 23c having an outwardly protruding three-dimensional shape and covering the breast of the subject, a wearing device main body 11c covering the chest other than the breast of the subject, and a chest stitching part 31 that stitches the outer periphery of the breast part 23c to the inner periphery of the wearing device main body 11c. As shown in Fig. 9 etc., the chest stitching part 31 is covered from the inside over its entire length with a chest covering part 32 such as a bias tape. In this wearing device 11, the chest 23 is composed of the breast portion 23c, a lower breast portion 23a provided below the breast portion 23c on the wearing device main body 11c, and an upper breast portion 23b provided above the breast portion 23c on the wearing device main body 11c.

[0020] As shown in Figures 6(a)(b) and 7(a)(b), the wearing device 11 has a right half 11a and a left half 11b which are separated from each other. The right half 11a and the left half 11b are connected to each other at the chest portion 23 by a fastener 27. They are also connected to each other at the back portion 25 via a width adjustment portion 28. The width adjustment portion 28 has hook portions 28a arranged vertically on the back edge of either the right half 11a or the left half 11b, and ring portions 28b, which can be engaged and detached with the hook portions 28a, arranged vertically near the back edge of the other half, and these ring portions 28b are arranged in multiple rows with gaps between them on the left and right.

[0021] The width adjustment portion 28 of this embodiment further includes a connecting plate 28c as shown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b). The connecting plate 28c is provided in a rectangular shape and has a vertical length corresponding to the vertical length of the back portion 25. Hook portions 28a are arranged in an upper and lower row on one side edge of connecting plate 28c, and ring portions 28b, which can be engaged and detached with hook portions 28a, are arranged in an upper and lower row on the surface of connecting plate 28c, and are further arranged in multiple rows with gaps between them on the left and right.

[0022] In the width adjustment section 28, with the right half 11a and the left half 11b connected by the fastener 27 on the chest section 23, the hook portion 28a arranged on one of the right half 11a or the left half 11b in the back section 25 can be engaged with an appropriately selected ring portion 28b of the other half, or a connecting plate 28c can be interposed between the right half 11a and the left half 11b, and the hook portion 28a arranged on one of the right half 11a or the left half 11b can be engaged with an appropriately selected ring portion 28b of the connecting plate 28c, and the hook portion 28a of the connecting plate 28c can be engaged with an appropriately selected ring portion 28b of the other half 11a or the left half 11b, thereby adjusting the circumference of the wearing device 11 and integrating it.

[0023] The wearing device 11 is worn above the waist with the recipient's arms inserted through the armholes 21 and the neck inserted through the neckhole 22, so that the chest 23, shoulders 24, back 25, and underarms 26 are positioned at the corresponding parts. The wearing device 11 is made of woven or nonwoven fabric with appropriate elasticity, so when the recipient wears it, the appropriate elasticity of the entire wearing device 11 allows the inner side of each part to fit the corresponding part of the recipient without tightening.

[0024] 9 and 10, the conductive cloth 12 arranged on the inner surface of the wearing device 11 is laminated and integrated with the inner surface of the wearing device 11 by sewing or the like. A pad 14 molded into a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast area 23c is arranged between the breast area 23c and the first conductive cloth 12a. The conductive cloth 12 comprises a first conductive cloth 12a which is layered and sewn to the inside of the breast portion 23c, and a second conductive cloth 12b which is formed separately from the first conductive cloth 12a and which is layered and sewn to the inside of the wearing device main body 11c.

[0025] The first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are made of conductive cloth capable of passing a weak current for cosmetic use, and have approximately uniform conductivity along the surface. The conductive cloth 12 may be, for example, a woven cloth made of conductive fibers such as silver fibers or silver-coated fibers, and elastic non-conductive fibers such as polyurethane fibers or polyester fibers. The conductive cloth 12 is made of a cloth that is more elastic than the wearing device body.

[0026] The first conductive cloth 12a has a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast area 23c. When the first conductive cloth 12a is overlaid on the breast area 23c, the outer surface of the first conductive cloth 12a is disposed along the inner surface of the breast area 23c, and the periphery of the first conductive cloth 12a is formed and sewn so as to be disposed around the periphery of the breast area 23c over the entire circumference except for a connection portion 12c described below. In this embodiment, a three-dimensional pad 14 is disposed between the breast area 23c and the first conductive cloth 12a, and the first conductive cloth 12a is sewn to the breast area 23c only at its periphery.

[0027] The second conductive cloth 12b is disposed at least in the upper breast portion 23b and the lower breast portion 23a on the inner surface of the chest portion 23 of the wearing device main body 11c. Here, it is preferable that the second conductive cloth 12b is disposed on the back portion 25 in addition to the upper breast portion 23b and the lower breast portion 23a. In this embodiment, the second conductive cloth 12b is disposed on substantially the entire inner surface of the wearing device main body 11c in a position that contacts the skin.

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

[0029] The edges of the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are sewn to the periphery of the breast area 23c and the edge of the wearing device main body 11c on the breast area 23c side, respectively, 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 device main body 11c consisting of the edge of the breast area 23c and the edge of the wearing device main body 11c on the breast area 23c side, the edge of the first conductive cloth 12a, and the edge of the second conductive cloth 12b are arranged in a layered state and sewn together while being covered from the inside by the chest covering part 32.

[0030] Furthermore, the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are electrically connected by a connection portion 12c. The connection portion 12c is made of a conductive cloth and is disposed between the chest stitching portion 31 and the chest covering portion 32. In this embodiment, the connection portion 12c is formed by extending a portion of the periphery of the first conductive cloth 12a, in this case, a portion of the first conductive cloth 12a at a position adjacent to the armpit portion 26. This connection part 12c is disposed so as to cross the inside of the chest stitching part 31, and is sewn in an overlapping state to the inside of the armpit part 26 of the wearing device main body 11c. This connection part 12c enables the weak current for cosmetic use supplied to the wearing tool main body 11c side to be supplied to the breast part 23c side.

[0031] As shown in Figures 2 and 12, on the outer surface of the wearing device 11, hook-and-loop fasteners 29a, 29b for connecting the first and second corrective belts 15, 16 are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right shoulders 24 and the lower breast area 23a. Furthermore, on the outer surface side of the wearing device 11, upper left and right breast portions 23b are provided with protruding connected portions 17c that can be connected to and disconnected from a connection end portion 17d of a connection cord 17b of a power source portion 17, which will be described later.

[0032] The first and second corrective belts 15 and 16 are attached to the outer surface side of the wearing device 11. The first and second corrective belts 15, 16 are formed of an elastic band material or the like, and are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 15a, 15b, 16a, and 16b on both ends. The first corrective belt 15 has a hook-and-loop fastener 15a at one end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29a on the right shoulder 24 and positioned along the back, and a hook-and-loop fastener 15b at the other end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29b on the left lower breast portion 23a, thereby allowing a force to be applied in the pulling direction on the back between the right shoulder 24 and the left lower breast portion 23a.

[0033] The second corrective belt 16 has a hook-and-loop fastener 16a at one end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29a on the left shoulder 24 and positioned along the back, and a hook-and-loop fastener 16b at the other end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29b on the right lower breast portion 23a, so that a force can be applied in the pulling direction on the back between the right shoulder 24 and the left lower breast portion 23a.

[0034] The conductive gloves 13 are worn by the practitioner on both hands to come into contact with the patient, and as shown in Fig. 1, are provided separately from the wearing tool 11. The practitioner can supply a weak cosmetic current to the patient by bringing the conductive gloves 13 into contact with the patient while wearing the gloves.

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

[0036] The conductive glove 13 has a protruding connected portion 17c on its outer surface, which is connectable to and detachable from a connection end 17d of a connection cord 17b of a power source unit 17, which will be described later, in the same manner as the wearing tool 11. The connected portion 17c is electrically connected to the conductive glove 13. When the practitioner wears this conductive glove 13, the practitioner can easily make contact with each part by appropriately deforming the hand and supporting or applying it to each part of the patient's shoulder, arm, hand, etc.

[0037] 1, the power supply unit 17 includes a current control unit 17a capable of generating a weak current for cosmetic use, and a connection cord 17b extending from the current control unit 17a. The tip of the connection cord 17b has a connection end 17d that can be connected to and disconnected from the wearing tool 11 and the connected part 17c of the conductive glove 13.

[0038] The current control unit 17a is a device that outputs weak alternating current to be supplied to the skin of the human body in order to obtain various beauty effects, and is preset as multiple types of rectangular wave AC patterns by specifying the waveforms, repetition patterns, output frequency, output current and output voltage for the positive and negative sides, as well as changes therein, for a predetermined period of time. In this embodiment, the square wave AC voltage output from the output unit 18 is set to a preset voltage mode in response to the input of the soft mode or normal mode, and the voltage value is adjusted. For example, in the soft mode, the AC voltage is In normal mode, the AC voltage can be switched in multiple steps within the range of 0.3V to 0.4V, and in normal mode, the AC voltage can be switched in multiple steps within the range of 0.3V to 3.9V.

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

[0040] The multiple types of rectangular wave AC patterns in this embodiment consist of a waveform adaptation pattern W1 shown in Figure 14(a) intended to adapt the weak AC to the body, a lifting pattern W2 shown in Figure 14(b) intended to provide a lifting effect to improve wrinkles or sagging on the outer surface of the body, a fixing pattern W3 shown in Figure 14(c) intended to fix the lifting effect, and a sustaining pattern W4 shown in Figure 14(d) intended to sustain the established lifting effect.

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

[0042] As shown in Figure 14(a), the familiarization pattern W1 is a waveform generated by combining basic waveforms A and B, and has a reference single pattern in which one unit obtained by dividing one period into 32 is used as a reference time, and which outputs one level of potential and the other level of potential alternately once each for the reference time, a reference three-times pattern in which the reference single pattern is output three times in succession, and a pause in which the reference potential is maintained.The familiarization pattern W1 has a waveform in which, after a 1 / 4 time pause, the reference three-times pattern, a double time pause, the reference three-times pattern, a double time pause, the reference single pattern, a double time pause, the reference single pattern, a double time pause, the reference single pattern, a double time pause, the reference single pattern, a 7 / 4 time pause are output in this order.

[0043] As shown in Figure 14(b), lift-up pattern W2 is a waveform generated by combining basic waveforms D and C, and has a 3.5x single pattern in which one unit obtained by dividing one period by 32 is used as a reference time, and one level of potential is output for 3.5 times the time relative to the reference potential, the reference potential is maintained for the reference time, and the other level of potential is output for 3.5 times the time relative to the reference potential, a 2x single pattern in which one level of potential is output for twice the time relative to the reference potential, the reference potential is maintained for twice the time, and the other level of potential is output for twice the time relative to the reference potential, and a pause in which the reference potential is maintained.The waveform has a 5 / 4 time pause followed by a 3.5x single pattern, a 3.5x single pattern, a 2x single pattern, a 2x pause, a 2x single pattern, and a 3 / 4 time pause in this order.

[0044] The fixing pattern W3 is a waveform generated by combining the basic waveform E and the basic waveform A as shown in FIG. 14(c), and includes a 1 / 4 times pattern in which one unit obtained by dividing one period by 32 is used as a reference time, a potential of one level is output with respect to the reference potential for 1 / 4 of the time, the reference potential is maintained for 1 / 4 of the time, a potential of one level is output again for 1 / 4 of the time, the reference potential is maintained for the reference time, a potential of the other level is output with respect to the reference potential for 1 / 4 of the time, the reference potential is maintained for 1 / 4 of the time, and a potential of the other level is output again for 1 / 4 of the time; The waveform includes a reference twice pattern that outputs a reference single pattern twice in succession, in which a potential of one level and a potential of the other level are alternately and continuously output once each for a reference time with respect to a potential level, and a pause that maintains the reference potential. After a 1 / 4 time pause, the waveform is output in the following order: 1 / 4 times twice pattern, double time pause, 1 / 4 times twice pattern, double time pause, 1 / 4 times twice pattern, triple time pause, reference twice pattern, double time pause, 1 / 4 times twice pattern, reference time pause, reference twice pattern, and 7 / 4 time pause.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 14(d), sustain pattern W4 is a waveform generated by combining basic waveforms D and C, and has a 3.5x independent pattern in which one unit obtained by dividing one period by 32 is used as a reference time, and a 2x independent pattern in which one level of potential is output with respect to the reference potential for 2 times the time, the reference potential is maintained for 2 times the time, and a potential of the other level is output with respect to the reference potential for 2 times the time, and a pause in which the reference potential is maintained, and a potential of the other level is output once with respect to the reference potential, after which the 3.5x independent pattern, the 2x independent pattern, and a 3.5x pause are output in this order, and then a potential of one level with respect to the reference potential and a potential of the other level with respect to the reference potential are output alternately once for 3.5 times the time, and the reference potential is maintained for 1 / 2 time.

[0046] In the normal mode, the cosmetic electric current device 10 outputs a blending pattern W1, a lifting pattern W2, a fixing pattern W3, and a sustaining pattern W4 in succession, one pattern each, in the same order multiple times, for a treatment time that is preset and selected by inputting the operation unit 13. Here, it is possible to configure the blending pattern W1, the lifting pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4 to be output in this order, with each pattern being repeated multiple times. For example, a pattern may be continuously repeated for each of the four time periods of the entire treatment time, and the blending pattern W1, the lifting pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4 may be output for the entire treatment time. In addition, by repeatedly applying the blending pattern W1, the lifting pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4 once each in a short time, preferably by simultaneously applying electricity in synchronization with multiple positions on the body, it is possible to reduce the need to limit the order of the four patterns. For example, the sustaining pattern W4, the lifting pattern W2, the blending pattern W1, and the fixing pattern W3 may be output once each in this order, and the four patterns may be repeated many times.

[0047] In the power supply unit 17, the connection cord 17b connected to the current control unit 17a is connected to the wearing device 11 or the conductive glove 13, thereby supplying such a weak current for cosmetic use to one or both of the conductive cloth 12 of the wearing device 11 and the conductive glove 13.

[0048] Next, a beauty method using a beauty device equipped with the beauty tool 10 of this embodiment will be described. Here, an example of performing a treatment for breast enhancement will be used. In this beauty method, as shown in FIG. 15, after a pretreatment S1 is performed on the upper body of a person to be treated, a first power supplying process S10 is performed in which a weak current for beauty purposes is supplied by wearing a beauty tool 10 on the upper body of the person to be treated, and then a second power supplying process S20 is performed in which a weak current for beauty purposes is supplied using a conductive glove 13.

[0049] First, in the pre-treatment S1, the upper body of the person to be treated is appropriately massaged and a cosmetic agent is applied. The cosmetic agent used is a gel containing an electrically conductive component and a moisturizing component, and is applied to a larger area of ​​the recipient's skin that will come into contact with the conductive cloth 12 of the cosmetic tool 10, preferably the entire surface.

[0050] Next, in the first power supply process S10, the beauty tool 10 is worn on the upper body of the person to be treated in step S11. When the person to be treated wears the beauty tool 10, first, the right half 11a and the left half 11b are connected at the back side via the width adjustment part 28, and then the arms are inserted through the left and right armholes 21 and connected at the chest 23 side by the fasteners 27.

[0051] When the practitioner puts the garment on, the right half 11a and the left half 11b are first connected at the chest 23 side with a fastener 27, and then the practitioner inserts both arms through the left and right armholes 21 and connects them at the back side via the width adjustment parts 28. In either case, the right half 11a and the left half 11b are connected together by adjusting the width adjustment portion 28 so that the circumference of the beauty tool 10 is suitable for the waist size and bust size of the person to be treated.

[0052] After the beauty tool 10 is worn, the first and second corrective belts 15 and 16 are attached to the outer surface of the wearing tool 11 in step S12. The first corrective belt 15 has a hook-and-loop fastener 15a at one end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29a provided on the right shoulder portion 24 above the right upper breast portion 23b of the beauty device 10, is positioned at an angle along the back side, and has a hook-and-loop fastener 15b at the other end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29b provided on the left lower breast portion 23a.

[0053] The second corrective belt 16 has a hook-and-loop fastener 16a at one end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29a provided on the left shoulder portion 24 above the left upper breast portion 23b of the beauty device 10, is positioned at an angle along the back side, and has a hook-and-loop fastener 16b at the other end connected to a hook-and-loop fastener 29b provided on the right lower breast portion 23a.

[0054] As a result, the first and second correction belts 15, 16 are arranged to cross in an X-shape on the back side, and a tensile force acts between both ends of each belt. This makes it possible to prevent the patient from bending forward during treatment, and improve the cosmetic effect on the back side.

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

[0056] Then, the current control unit 17a generates an optimal cosmetic weak current for each mode based on various data and supplies it to the cosmetic tool 10. Here, the cosmetic weak current is supplied according to each setting of the blending pattern W1, the lifting pattern W2, the fixing pattern W3, and the sustaining pattern W4. In this step S13, various cosmetic effects such as repair or strengthening of Cooper's ligaments can be expected by activating cells and generating collagen by supplying the cosmetic weak current, and the desired cosmetic effect can be achieved by repeated treatments.

[0057] After the start of the supply of the weak cosmetic current, the power supply is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed in step S14. This power supply time is preferably adjusted in combination with the second power supply process S20 using the conductive glove 13. After the supply of the weak cosmetic current is stopped, in step S15, the beauty tool 10 is removed from the person to be treated, and the first power supply process S10 is then completed.

[0058] Next, in the second power supply process S20, after applying a cosmetic agent to the décolleté, shoulders, arms, hands, etc. of the person being treated in step S21, the practitioner puts conductive gloves 13 on both hands of the practitioner in step S22 and connects them to the current control unit 17a of the power supply unit 17 via the connection cord 17b, so that a weak cosmetic current generated by the current control unit 17a can be supplied to the conductive gloves 13.

[0059] Although not particularly limited, in this embodiment, the power supply unit 17 is the same as that used in the first power supply process S10, and it is possible to supply a weak cosmetic current similar to that described above to the conductive glove 13.

[0060] Then, in step S23, treatment is performed using the conductive gloves 13. In this step S23, a weak cosmetic current is supplied to the conductive gloves 13 worn on both hands of the therapist, and the conductive gloves 13 are brought into contact with the skin of the person to be treated, while the therapist massages or stretches the shoulders, arms, hands, etc. of the person to be treated, or the therapist applies the conductive gloves 13 to the shoulders, arms, hands, etc. and holds them in a predetermined position.

[0061] For example, in a treatment to increase the size of the left bust, the patient is laid on their back and the following procedure is performed. (1) As shown in Figure 16, the practitioner holds the wrist or elbow of the person being treated with his / her left hand, and with his / her right hand, moves the muscle from above the wrist to the upper arm and shoulder in a rotating motion from the inside to the outside to tighten the upper arm. (2) As shown in Figure 17, the practitioner places his / her right hand on the shoulder blade of the patient and presses the armpit at the base of the patient's arm with the four fingers of his / her left hand to ensure close contact. (3) As shown in Figures 18 and 19, the practitioner holds the armpit at the base of the patient's arm with the four fingers of his / her left hand, supports the patient's wrist with his / her right hand, and rotates the patient's arm from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, over the patient's head, while keeping the patient's arm extended. At the same time, the practitioner's left hand slides from the armpit to guide the breasts to their natural position and lift them up. (4) As shown in Figure 20, the practitioner supports the wrist of the patient with his / her right hand and grasps the shoulder of the patient with his / her left hand to pull up the muscle from the tip of the shoulder to the back of the shoulder. (5) As shown in Figure 21, the practitioner presses down on the patient's trapezius muscle with his / her right hand and lifts up the patient's pectoral muscle with his / her left hand.

[0062] In this step S23, various cosmetic effects can be expected, such as activating tissue in the surrounding area, relaxing muscles, and promoting blood circulation, by supplying a weak cosmetic current. By combining this with the first power supply process S10, it is possible to enhance the cosmetic effects in the chest area. When the blood flow state when the treatment including the above (1) to (5) was performed in step S23 was measured by thermography, the blood flow state was improved compared to when the treatment was not performed. Furthermore, when the effect of improving the shape of the breast by breast augmentation was confirmed by photography, the upper breast had improved in fullness and firmness compared to when the treatment was not performed, and the shape of the breast by breast augmentation was improved.

[0063] In such step S23, it is preferable to adjust and set the power supply conditions in combination with the power supply conditions of the first power supply process S1 depending on the person to be treated, the level of treatment, and the like. For example, if a treatment subject with a bust size of A to E is provided with a medium strength of the cosmetic weak current supplied to the conductive cloth 12 in the first power supply process S10 and a medium strength of the cosmetic weak current supplied to the conductive glove 13 in the second power supply process S20, with each power supply time being 10 minutes, then in the case of a treatment subject with a bust size of F to I, each treatment may be performed by setting the strength of the cosmetic weak current supplied to the conductive cloth 12 in the first power supply process S10 and the strength of the cosmetic weak current supplied to the conductive glove 13 in the second power supply process S20 to a high strength, with each power supply time being 15 minutes.

[0064] Thereafter, when a predetermined type of treatment has been performed, the supply of the weak cosmetic current to the conductive glove 13 is stopped in step S24, and the treatment using the conductive glove 13 is stopped. Furthermore, in step S25, a finishing massage is performed with bare hands, and the second power supply process S20 is terminated.

[0065] According to the above-described beauty tool 10, the first conductive cloth 12a having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the breast area 23c covering the breast of the subject is layered and sewn to the inside of the breast area 23c, and the second conductive cloth 12b separate from the first conductive cloth 12a is layered and sewn to the inside of the wearing device main body 11c covering the chest other than the breasts. The outer peripheral edge of the breast area 23c and the inner peripheral edge of the wearing device main body 11c are joined by the chest stitching portion 31, and the chest stitching portion 31 is covered from the inside by the chest covering portion 32, and the edge of the first conductive cloth 12a and the edge of the second conductive cloth 12b are also covered from the inside by the chest covering portion 32 together with the chest stitching portion 31. Therefore, the breast part 23c and the wearing device main body 11c can fit and hold the entire skin of the treatment part as evenly as possible while preventing deformation and distortion of the treatment part in the upper body of the treatment part as much as possible, and the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b laminated on the inner surface of the breast part 23c and the inner surface of the wearing device main body 11c can be pressed evenly against the entire skin of each treatment part, and even if the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are formed in different shapes, uneven expansion and contraction, bending, distortion, deformation, etc. can be prevented. Therefore, the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b can be stably contacted evenly with the entire skin of the treatment part. Furthermore, even if the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are repeatedly worn, deterioration does not easily occur.

[0066] Even if the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b are formed separately, they are electrically connected by the connection part 12c arranged between the chest stitching part 31 and the chest covering part 32, so that the cosmetic weak current supplied to the wearing device main body 11c is supplied to the breast part 23c. This, combined with the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b being in uniform and stable contact with the entire skin of the treatment area, allows the same cosmetic weak current to be supplied uniformly and in a good balance to the skin of the breast and the skin other than the breast of the treatment subject, making it easy to obtain a stable cosmetic effect. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the treatment subject from feeling uncomfortable due to an unstable weak current or uneven weak current being supplied to the skin of the treatment subject.

[0067] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned beauty tool 10, the connection portion 12c is formed by extending a portion of one of the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b, overlapping it on the other, and sewing the connection portion 12c, so that the connection portion 12c can be formed simply.

[0068] Furthermore, in the above-described beauty tool 10, a three-dimensional pad 14 is disposed between the breast portion 23c and the first conductive cloth 12a. This makes it easier to maintain the first conductive cloth 12a in a stable shape, and makes it easier to bring the first conductive cloth 12a into stable contact with the skin of the person to be treated.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the beauty method of this embodiment using the beauty tool 10 described above, when the conductive cloth 12 is brought into contact to supply a weak cosmetic current, a cosmetic agent containing an electrically conductive component and a moisturizing component is applied, so that the treatment can be performed by supplying a weak cosmetic current while moisturizing the skin of the treatment area, and stable beauty effects can be expected by preventing the supply of the weak cosmetic current from being hindered by dry skin.

[0070] Furthermore, according to the beauty method of this embodiment, after a first power supply process is performed in which a weak cosmetic current is supplied to the skin while the beauty tool 10 is worn by the person to be treated, a second power supply process is performed in which the conductive glove 13 is worn by the practitioner and brought into contact with the person to supply a weak cosmetic current, so that the practitioner can easily and reliably contact the conductive glove 13 to supply power to parts of the subject other than the part where the beauty tool 10 is worn, regardless of the shape of the part. Therefore, the practitioner can supply a weak cosmetic current while fixing, displacing, or deforming parts other than the part where the beauty tool 10 is worn, making it easy to efficiently improve the beauty effect achieved by the first power supply process.

[0071] The above embodiment can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the connecting portion 12c is formed by extending a part of the first conductive cloth 12a, but this is not particularly limited, and the connecting portion 12c may be formed by extending a part of the second conductive cloth 12b, overlapping and sewing the first conductive cloth 12a, etc. Furthermore, it is also possible to form the connecting portion 12c by arranging a conductive cloth other than the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b between the chest sewing portion 31 and the chest covering portion 32 and overlapping and sewing both ends of the first conductive cloth 12a and the second conductive cloth 12b.

[0072] In the above embodiment, an example was described in which current control unit 17a outputs a weak cosmetic current having four output patterns as shown in Figs. 14(a) to (d). However, the weak cosmetic current is not limited in any way, and any current that can be supplied to the skin and can produce a treatment effect can be used. In the above embodiment, an example of the wearing device 11 in which the right half 11a and the left half 11b are connected by the width adjustment portion 28 has been described, but the wearing device 11 may be formed as a single unit, and the conductive cloth 12 on the inner surface may be divided into multiple pieces via any insulating portion. Furthermore, in the beauty method of the above embodiment, a treatment example was described in which the first power supply process S10 was performed using the wearing tool 11, and then the second power supply process S20 was performed continuously using the conductive glove 13, but it is also possible to only perform the treatment using the wearing tool 11. EXAMPLES

[0073] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A test was conducted in which a bust-up treatment using the beauty device 10 of the embodiment (Example) and a bust-up treatment using a conventional beauty device (Comparative Example) were performed on the same 10 panelists, and each panelist evaluated the results. In the test, the comparative example was performed first, and then, after a sufficient period of time, the example was performed.

[0074] The conventional beauty tool used was made in the same manner as the beauty tool 10 of the embodiment, except that the first conductive cloth 12 was not laminated on the inside of the breast portion 23c. The treatment contents and methods were exactly the same for breast enhancement. There was no difference between the example and the comparative example, except for the presence or absence of power supply from the conductive cloth to the breast skin of the subject. In addition, since the treatment was performed on the same person, all the various conditions during the treatment were the same.

[0075] The evaluation was carried out by each panelist answering a questionnaire after receiving the treatment of the embodiment. The questionnaire consisted of participants rating the treatment of the Example in comparison with the treatment of the Comparative Example on a 5-point scale for the following 5 items: 1. During and after the application of electricity, was there any discomfort or abnormality in the skin around the breasts compared to the comparison example treatment? 2. When wearing the beauty device, did you experience any friction, discomfort, or abnormalities in the skin around the breasts due to the conductive fabric of the beauty device compared to the treatment in the comparison example? 3. After the treatment, did you feel that your breasts were firmer than after the comparison treatment? 4. After the treatment, did you feel that your breasts were more elastic than after the comparison treatment? 5. After the treatment, did you feel that your breasts were higher than after the comparison treatment?

[0076] As a result, for item 1, 9 out of 10 people rated it as 5, indicating that it was not a problem at all, and 1 person rated it as 4. For item 2, five out of ten people rated it as 5, meaning there was no problem at all, three rated it as 4, and two rated it as 3. For item 3, seven out of ten women gave a rating of 5, meaning they felt that there had been a big change in breast firmness, and three gave a rating of 4. For item 4, eight out of ten women gave the rating of 5, meaning that they felt that the elasticity of their breasts had changed significantly, and two gave the rating of 4. For item 5, eight out of ten women gave a rating of 5, indicating that they felt that their breast height had changed significantly, and two gave a rating of 4.

[0077] In the above tests, the majority of evaluations showed that the treatment using the beauty tool 10 of the embodiment was improved in all items compared to treatment using a conventional beauty tool that does not have a conductive cloth on the breast area. In other words, the beauty tool 10 of the embodiment was able to stably contact the conductive cloth evenly with the skin of the breast area and other areas of the skin of the patient, and was able to supply a weak cosmetic current evenly, which showed that the discomfort of the patient was reduced and the effect of breast enhancement was improved.
