Description

[0001] Tittle: A Device and Method for Regenerating, Hydrating, and Cleansing Facial Skin

[0002] Technical field

[0003] The invention pertains to the area of human needs and health, specifically related to a device and method for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin through a combined water bath.

[0004] The current state of technology

[0005] Currently, there are several known techniques used for treatments of the facial skin using steam produced by evaporating water in an evaporator,

[0006] Among many, the following solutions can be cited as examples:

[0007] According to JP 2001314478 ’’Facial treatment device,” which describes the preparation of ionized steam in a water evaporator.

[0008] The solution according to US4300556 "Facial beauty device" uses a sauna effect generated by oscillating water in a tank at an ultrasonic frequency for treating facial skin.

[0009] The published document WO 00 / 66064 ’’FACIAL SAUNA WITH A WATER HEATING RESERVOIR AND A FOAM RETRIEVAL RESERVOIR” represents a facial sauna for applying steam to the face through an output nozzle that is located at the outlet of the steam generator.

[0010] The solution according to GB1110140 "Facial treatment device" uses steam made from water enriched with salt for face treatment, with the produced steam mixed with cooling air.

[0011] A known solution according to JP2004041638 "OBLIGATE TRUE AIR (R) MINUS ION FACIAL CULTURE EQUIPMENT AND METHOD THEREFOR" utilizes a stream of ionized air produced from water for facial skin regeneration.

[0012] These known solutions rely on treated water for facial skin therapy, where the treatment requires at least heating the water to the evaporation temperature, and further technological treatment is typically required too.

[0013] The summary of the invention

[0014] The disadvantages of the existing state of the technologies are partially eliminated by a device for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin according to the presented invention, consisting of a shower tray with nozzles, a cold water supply, a hot water supply, a supply of water at the desired temperature, wastewater drainage, a distribution valve, a pump, power electronics, and control electronics. The essence of this solution lies in the fact that the cold water supply and the hot water supply are connected to the inputs of a distribution valve, from which the outlet supplies water at the desired temperature through a pump into the nozzles of the shower tray, which has a wastewater drainage installed, white the distribution valve and pump include power electronics elements and are adjusted and optimized by control electronics. An advantageous solution is a device for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin, where the cold-water supply is connected to a cold water tank, and the hot water supply is connected to a hot water tank.

[0015] An advantageous solution is also a device for regenerating, hydrating , and cleansing facial skin, where the wastewater drainage is connected directly to the plumbing system.

[0016] Another advantageous solution is a device for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin, where the wastewater drainage is guided from a wastewater container into the plumbing system.

[0017] The shortcomings mentioned in the state of the technologies are partially resolved also by a method for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin, whose essence is providing water of the desired temperature and pressure through nozzles that cover the required facial skin areas in the shower tray. The distribution valve and pump, through power electronics and control electronics, regulate the temperature and pressure parameters as well as the time intervals for alternating temperature and pressure.

[0018] The principle of the device functionality for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin is based on alternating cold and hot water on the skin, causing contraction and expansion of the skin and subcutaneous structures, resulting in firmer, more hydrated skin, and aiding skin regeneration with the help of supportive preparations.

[0019] The overview of the figures on the technical drawings

[0020] The invention is further explained with examples of implementation and using drawings, on:

[0022] Fig. 2 - Schematic representation of a device for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin with built-in detachable containers for cold, hot, and wastewater.

[0023] Fig. 3 ~ Schematic representation of a device for regenerating, hydrating, and cleansing facial skin with a connection to the cold-water supply and wastewater drainage to the plumbing system, modified for supportive skin treatment.
