Description

Skin care methods

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin care method, and more specifically, to a skin care method using a skin care device that can provide a user-customized skin care function that reflects the user's intention and skin condition.

[0002] Various skin care devices are being developed to prevent skin aging, and recently, skin care devices utilizing high frequency, low frequency, or ultrasound are being released.

[0003] Ultrasonic beauty devices are known to have a cleansing effect that removes dead skin cells and impurities by vibrating the skin at frequencies higher than the audible range, and to improve skin aging by stimulating the dermis to promote blood circulation. However, since ultrasonic beauty devices provide vibrations at lower frequencies compared to high-frequency beauty devices, they are effective for cleansing the epidermis but have the disadvantage that the vibrations cannot penetrate deeply into the dermis layer beneath the epidermis.

[0004] High-frequency beauty devices can stimulate the dermis by generating deep heat using higher frequencies than ultrasonic devices. This deep heat regenerates collagen, thereby improving wrinkles and providing a skin-lifting effect. The principle behind heat generation via high frequency is the same as that of a microwave oven, which heats water by rotating water molecules. However, due to the high vibration frequency, high-frequency devices have a lower skin-vibrating effect compared to ultrasonic devices, resulting in a disadvantage of inferior epidermal cleansing power.

[0005] In other words, since ultrasonic and high-frequency beauty devices can achieve different skin care effects, it is necessary to use them in appropriate combination.

[0006] Furthermore, since users receiving skin care have different individual skin conditions (skin tone, texture, blemishes, etc.), applying the same skin care method to users with different skin conditions may result in unintended skin problems.

[0007] In addition, depending on the care objectives of the user receiving skin care (wrinkle improvement, moisturization, tone improvement, etc.), it is necessary to apply a skin care method that can satisfy those objectives.

[0008] Therefore, a skin care device capable of solving these challenges and a skin care method using the skin care device are required.

[0009] The present invention has been devised to solve the aforementioned problems, and the objective of the present invention is to provide a skin care method using a skin care device that can provide a user-customized skin care function reflecting the user's intention and skin condition.

[0101] Step 5: 90%

[0102]

[0103] The second handpiece unit (320) may be a high-frequency providing unit that provides high-frequency waves to the user's skin. The high-frequency providing unit can stimulate the dermis layer by generating deep heat on the user's skin. At this time, by regenerating collagen through deep heat, wrinkle improvement and skin lifting effects can also be obtained. When high-frequency waves are provided to the user's skin by the second handpiece unit (320), the activity of collagen within the dermis layer of the user's skin increases, and skin elasticity can be improved. That is, care for the dermis layer of the skin can be performed by the second handpiece unit (320), and wrinkle improvement and skin lifting effects can be achieved.

[0104] For example, the high frequency provided by the second handpiece unit (320) may be named a firming shot. That is, the firming shot is a skin care provided to the user by the second handpiece unit (320), and may have specifications such as those described above and below.

[0105] As described above, the second handpiece unit (320) may have an electric device and an electronic device built inside to provide wrinkle improvement and skin lifting effects. For example, the first handpiece unit (310) may include a high-frequency energy generating module capable of outputting high-frequency energy.

[0106] According to an embodiment, the second handpiece unit (320) may have a second care providing part provided in the head part (302).

[0107] According to one example, as illustrated in FIG. 7a, the second care providing member may include, for example, a second center pad (322) and a second surrounding pad (324) provided around the second center pad (322) and surrounding the second center pad (322).

[0108] The second center pad (322) and the second surrounding pad (324) may have a configuration suitable for providing high frequency. For example, the second center pad (322) and the second surrounding pad (324) may be electrodes for providing high frequency. According to one example, one of the second center pad (322) and the second surrounding pad (324) may be an anode and the other may be a cathode.

[0109] According to an embodiment, the second surrounding pad (324) may include a plurality of element pads spaced apart from each other. At least one of each element pad may have a crescent shape surrounding the central second center pad (322).

[0110] Accordingly, as high frequency is transmitted between the central second center pad (322) and a plurality of element pads spaced apart from each other and located around the second center pad (322), high frequency current can be provided to the user's body part located between the positive and negative parts. That is, a deep heat generation zone is formed between the second center pad (322) and the second surrounding pad (324), and the temperature of the skin tissue can rise due to the deep heat. Therefore, uniform high frequency can be provided over a large area of ​​the body.

[0111] According to another example, the second surrounding pad (324) may have a configuration in which part is a negative portion and part is a positive portion. Additionally, the second center pad (322) may be a predetermined vibration pad.

[0112] According to one example, as illustrated in FIG. 7b, the second care providing unit may include, for example, a plurality of high-frequency providing pads (326). For example, the high-frequency providing pads (326) may include a plurality of pads arranged in a row side by side with each other.

[0113] According to the embodiment, the high-frequency providing pad (326) may use a single metal or alloy having conductivity as a base material. According to the embodiment, the high-frequency providing pad may be composed of a component that can deliver stable high-frequency output to the deep fat layer of the skin without causing trouble due to contact with the skin, and increase the efficiency of heat generation and decomposition caused by stimulation of the fat layer.

[0114] The operating specifications of the second handpiece unit (320) may be as follows. The intensity duty ratio below is the duty ratio of the high-frequency current, and as the step increases, the duty ratio increases, and thus the intensity of the stimulation by the high frequency increases.

[0115] Amplitude: 150 Vp-p ± 20%

[0116] Frequency: 1 MHz ± 20%

[0117] Century Duty Ratio (1.6Hz)

[0118] Step 1: 23%

[0119] Step 2: 30%

[0120] Step 3: 37%

[0121] Step 4: 43%

[0122] Step 5: 50%

[0123]

[0124] The third handpiece unit (330) may be a microcurrent providing unit that provides microcurrent to the user's skin. When microcurrent is provided to the user's skin by the third handpiece unit (330), blood circulation is managed, and the absorption of active ingredients of the care product into the user's skin is promoted, thereby improving skin tone and producing radiance.

[0125] For example, the microcurrent provided by the third handpiece unit (330) may be named Silky Shot. That is, Silky Shot is a skin care provided to the user by the third handpiece unit (330), and may have specifications as described above and below. For example, the third handpiece unit (330) may have a third care providing unit provided in the head portion (302). The third care providing unit may include, for example, a first tip electrode (332) and a second tip electrode (334).

[0126] For example, the first tip electrode (332) and the second tip electrode (334) can provide a microcurrent similar in form to the user's biocurrent. For example, the first tip electrode (332) and the second tip electrode (334) can provide a microcurrent of 10 to 60 uA to the user's skin.

[0127] The operating specifications of the third handpiece unit (330) may be as follows.

[0128] Amplitude: 40 Vp-p ± 20%

[0129] Frequency: 100 Hz ± 20% (Phase change every 10 Hz)

[0130] Century Duty

[0131] Step 1: 0.5%

[0132] Step 2: 1.5%

[0133] Step 3: 2.5%

[0134] Step 4: 3.5%

[0135] Step 5: 4.5%

[0136] The duty cycle of the third handpiece unit (330) can be selected according to the user's skin information (skin condition). For example, if a large stimulation is required depending on the user's skin condition, the duty cycle of the microcurrent can be increased to increase the intensity of the stimulation, and if only a small stimulation is required, the duty cycle of the microcurrent can be decreased to decrease the intensity of the stimulation.

[0137] FIG. 9 shows the output waveform of a microcurrent output from the third handpiece unit (330). The microcurrent output from the handpiece unit (330) appears in the form of a pulse current, and its period is 0.01 s, and it can have a frequency of 100 Hz. In addition, as the phase changes every 0.1 s, the phase change frequency becomes 10 Hz.

[0138] The fourth handpiece unit (340) may be an ultrasound providing unit that provides ultrasound to the user's skin. Preferably, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may be a dual ultrasound providing unit that provides dual ultrasound. Accordingly, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may alternately output ultrasound having two frequency bands.

[0139] For example, the above ultrasound may have frequencies of 3 MHz and 10 MHz and may be provided alternately.

[0140] When dual ultrasound is provided to the user's skin by the fourth handpiece unit (340), the skin stimulated by the skin care can be soothed and moisturized.

[0141] For example, the skin care provided to the user by the fourth handpiece unit (340) may be named a calming shot. That is, the calming shot is a skin care provided to the user by the fourth handpiece unit (340) and may have specifications as described above and below. As described above, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may have an electric device and an electronic device built inside to provide skin soothing and moisturizing effects. For example, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may include an ultrasonic energy generating module capable of outputting ultrasonic energy.

[0142] According to an embodiment, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may have a fourth care providing unit provided in the head portion (302). The fourth care providing unit may be an ultrasonic providing pad (342).

[0143] The operating specifications of the fourth handpiece unit (340) may be as follows.

[0144] Output by step:

[0145] Phase 1: 150mW ± 20%

[0146] Stage 2: 310mW ± 20%

[0147] Stage 3: 470mW ± 20%

[0148] Step 4: 630mW ± 20%

[0149] Step 5: 790mW ± 20%

[0150]

[0151] According to an embodiment, the voltage characteristics and duty ratio of each handpiece unit may have a mutually predetermined relationship.

[0152] According to one embodiment, the maximum voltage of the second handpiece unit (320) may be smaller than the minimum voltage of the first handpiece unit (310).

[0153] Additionally, according to one embodiment, the maximum voltage of the third handpiece unit (330) may be smaller than the minimum voltage of the second handpiece unit (320).

[0154] Additionally, according to one embodiment, the maximum duty ratio of the second handpiece unit (320) may be smaller than the minimum duty ratio of the first handpiece unit (310). Additionally, according to one embodiment, the maximum duty ratio of the third handpiece unit (330) may be smaller than the minimum duty ratio of the first handpiece unit (310).

[0155] By having the voltage and duty ratio relationships as described above, the function of each handpiece unit is ensured, and skin irritation and damage to the user can be prevented.

[0156]

[0157] <Information processing module (400)>

[0158] The information processing module (400) may be a predetermined information processing means that can be embedded within the display device (200) or the base device (100).

[0159] The information processing module (400) may include a database unit (410), a computation unit (420), and a communication unit (430).

[0160] The database unit (410) may be a predetermined information storage device into which various data regarding skin care is input. According to one embodiment, the database unit (410) may further include a device connected to an external server to receive data. That is, the database unit (410) may be a device that is entirely installed within the information processing module (400), but it may also be a device capable of receiving information from the outside.

[0161] The database section (410) may include a plurality of subordinate DBs. For example, the subordinate DB may be a DB in which various skin care data required for skin care is mapped according to its type.

[0162] The operation unit (420) may be an operation device that processes input information and derives a predetermined result value. The operation unit (420) may be, for example, a CPU with a built-in information processing algorithm.

[0163] According to an embodiment, the operation unit (420) can generate skin care information by matching user skin information input from the display device (200) with skin care data stored in the database unit (410). Here, matching between skin information and skin care data may involve processing and classifying various information regarding the user's skin, and then finding skin care data suitable for the classified skin information.

[0164] The communication unit (430) may be a device that mediates signal exchange. The information processing module (400) may receive a predetermined signal through the communication unit (430) and provide a signal. The communication unit (430) may be a wired or wireless device, but is not limited thereto.

[0165]

[0166] <Operation of Skin Care Device and Skin Care Steps>

[0167] Hereinafter, the operation and skin care steps of a skin care device providing a skin care method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0168] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a skincare step of a skincare device providing a skincare method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0169] As illustrated in FIG. 10, the skincare steps of a skincare device providing a skincare method according to one embodiment of the present invention may include an exfoliation step (S1), a high frequency providing step (S2), a microcurrent providing step (S3), and a dual ultrasound providing step (S4). According to the embodiment, each step is not necessarily limited to being performed sequentially, and at least one step may be omitted.

[0170] At this time, as previously explained, since the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) each function as an exfoliation unit, a high-frequency providing unit, a microcurrent providing unit, and an ultrasonic providing unit, the exfoliation step (S1), the high-frequency providing step (S2), the microcurrent providing step (S3), and the dual ultrasonic providing step (S4) can be understood as being performed by the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340), respectively.

[0171] A skin care device providing a skin care method according to an embodiment may have a predetermined operating mode depending on the purpose of use. The number and types of the operating modes are not limited.

[0172] Each of the above operating modes may have a predetermined setting value that controls the operation of the handpiece unit. For example, if the purpose of use of the skin care device is to provide skin elasticity, the user may select an elasticity providing operating mode, and the elasticity providing operating mode may have handpiece unit control values, such as an output value and an operating time value of the handpiece unit, set to satisfy the purpose of use. Here, the output value and operating time value of the handpiece unit may be values ​​derived by matching skin care data stored in a database with user skin information.

[0173] According to one embodiment, the operating mode of the skin care device may include first to fourth operating modes.

[0174] Below, the first to fourth operating modes are described.

[0175] The first operating mode may be, for example, an elasticity care mode that cares for the loss of skin elasticity.

[0176] In the first operating mode, the operating time ratio of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be 2:12:5:6. For example, in the first operating mode, the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be performed as follows.

[0177] 1st handpiece unit (310): 2 minutes

[0178] Second handpiece unit (320): 12 minutes

[0179] Third handpiece unit (330): 5 minutes

[0180] 4th handpiece unit (340): 6 minutes

[0181] The first operating mode is described as follows.

[0182] First, a first-1 skin care step can be performed by the first handpiece unit (310). As previously described, the first handpiece unit (310) may be configured as an exfoliation unit that removes dead skin cells from the user's skin. By performing exfoliation by the first handpiece unit (310) first, the user's dead skin cells are removed, and the skin care efficiency can be improved. Therefore, the first-1 skin care step may be an exfoliation step. At this time, preferably, a specific care product may be used together. The care product may be, for example, a Glorious Toner.

[0183] Next, a first-second skin care step can be performed using the second handpiece unit (320). As previously described, the second handpiece unit (320) may be composed of a high-frequency providing unit that provides high-frequency waves to the user's skin. Therefore, the first-second skin care step may be a high-frequency providing step. Since the first operating mode requires skin care to address a decrease in elasticity, the use of the second handpiece unit (320), which particularly increases the activity of collagen within the skin and provides elasticity, may be performed for a relatively long time. Preferably, the second handpiece unit (320) may be used for 12 minutes during the first-second skin care step of the first operating mode. At this time, preferably, a specific care product may be used together, and the care product may be Glorious Eye & Neck for the first 3 minutes and Glorious Cream for the following 9 minutes within the 12-minute first-second skin care step.

[0184] Next, the first-to-third skin care step can be performed by the third handpiece unit (330). As previously described, the third handpiece unit (330) may be composed of a microcurrent providing unit that provides microcurrent to the user's skin. Therefore, the first-to-third skin care step may be a microcurrent providing step. By providing microcurrent to the user's skin by the third handpiece unit (330), the user's skin tone may be improved and radiance may be generated. Preferably, the third handpiece unit (330) may be used for 5 minutes during the first-to-third skin care step of the first operating mode. At this time, preferably, a specific care product may be used together. The care product may be, for example, a Glorious Serum.

[0185] Subsequently, the first-to-fourth skin care steps may be performed by the fourth handpiece unit (340). As previously described, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may be composed of an ultrasound providing unit that provides ultrasound to the user's skin. Therefore, the first-to-fourth skin care steps may be dual ultrasound providing steps. By providing ultrasound to the user's skin through the fourth handpiece unit (340), the user's skin receiving skin care may be soothed. Preferably, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may be used for 6 minutes during the first-to-fourth skin care steps of the first operating mode. At this time, a specific care product may preferably be used together. The care product may be, for example, Ocellas gel.

[0186] As described above, in the first operating mode, the step of providing skin elasticity by the second handpiece unit (320) is performed for a long time, so that elasticity care can be performed intensively.

[0187]

[0188] The second operating mode may be, for example, a moisturizing mode that cares for skin dryness and provides hydration.

[0189] In the second operating mode, the operating time ratio of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be 3:10:0:12. For example, in the second operating mode, the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be performed as follows.

[0190] 1st handpiece unit (310): 3 minutes

[0191] Second handpiece unit (320): 10 minutes

[0192] Third handpiece unit (330): 0 minutes

[0193] 4th handpiece unit (340): 12 minutes

[0194] The second operating mode is described as follows.

[0195] First, a second-1 skin care step can be performed using the first handpiece unit (310). Since the function of the first handpiece unit (310) and the care products that can be used together are the same as those in the first operating mode, a redundant description is omitted. In the second operating mode, exfoliation can be performed for a relatively long time for the purpose of caring for dry skin and providing moisture, and thus the first handpiece unit (310) can be used for a relatively long time. Preferably, in the second-1 skin care step of the second operating mode, the first handpiece unit (310) can be used for 3 minutes.

[0196] Next, a second-2 skin care step can be performed by the second handpiece unit (320). Since the function of the second handpiece unit (320) is the same as described in the first operating mode, a redundant description is omitted. Preferably, a specific care product may be used together. The care product may be, for example, Glorious Cream.

[0197] Subsequently, a second- and third skin care step can be performed using the fourth handpiece unit (340). In the second operating mode, the use of the fourth handpiece unit (340), which provides a moisturizing function for the skin, may be performed for a relatively long time, depending on the purpose of caring for skin dryness and providing moisture. Preferably, in the second operating mode, the fourth handpiece unit (340) may be used for 12 minutes. At this time, preferably, a specific care product may be used together.

[0198] As described above, in the second operating mode, the skin moisturization step by the fourth handpiece unit (340) is performed for a long time, so that skin dryness care and moisturization can be provided intensively.

[0199]

[0200] The third operating mode may be, for example, a tone care mode for managing skin tone.

[0201] In the second operating mode above, the operating time ratio of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be 2:5:10:8. For example, in the third operating mode, the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be performed as follows.

[0202] 1st handpiece unit (310): 2 minutes

[0203] Second handpiece unit (320): 5 minutes

[0204] Third handpiece unit (330): 10 minutes

[0205] 4th handpiece unit (340): 8 minutes

[0206] The third operating mode is described as follows.

[0207] First, the 3-1 skin care step can be performed by the 1st handpiece unit (310). The function of the 1st handpiece unit (310) and the care products that can be used together are the same as those described in the 1st operating mode, so a redundant description is omitted. Preferably, in the 3-1 skin care step of the 3rd operating mode, the 1st handpiece unit (310) can be used for 2 minutes.

[0208] Next, a third-2 skin care step can be performed using the second handpiece unit (320). Since the function of the second handpiece unit (320) is the same as described in the first operating mode, a redundant description is omitted. Preferably, in the third operating mode, the second handpiece unit (320) can be used for 5 minutes. Preferably, a specific care product may be used together. The care product may be, for example, Glorious Cream.

[0209] Next, a third-3 skin care step can be performed using the third handpiece unit (330). Depending on the purpose of the third operating mode, the use of the third handpiece unit (330), which provides a skin tone management function, may be performed for a relatively long time. Preferably, in the third-3 skin care step of the third operating mode, the third handpiece unit (330) may be used for 10 minutes. At this time, preferably, a specific care product may be used together. The care product may be, for example, a Glorious Serum.

[0210] Next, a third-fourth skin care step can be performed by the fourth handpiece unit (340). Preferably, in the third-fourth skin care step of the third operating mode, the fourth handpiece unit (340) can be used for 8 minutes.

[0211] As described above, in the third operating mode, the skin tone care step by the third handpiece unit (330) is performed for a long time, so that skin tone care can be performed intensively.

[0212]

[0213] The fourth operating mode may be a partial care mode for managing the elasticity of a specific body part, for example. For example, a specific body part may be the jaw area.

[0214] In the above-mentioned fourth operating mode, the operating time ratio of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be 3:10:6:6. For example, in the fourth operating mode, the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) may be performed as follows.

[0215] 1st handpiece unit (310): 3 minutes

[0216] Second handpiece unit (320): 10 minutes

[0217] Third handpiece unit (330): 6 minutes

[0218] 4th handpiece unit (340): 6 minutes

[0219] The fourth operating mode is described as follows.

[0220] First, the 3-1 skin care step can be performed by the 1st handpiece unit (310). Since the function of the 1st handpiece unit (310) and the care products that can be used together are the same as those described in the 1st operating mode, a redundant description is omitted. Preferably, in the 4-1 skin care step of the 4th operating mode, the 1st handpiece unit (310) can be used for 3 minutes.

[0221] Next, a 4-2 skin care step can be performed using the 2nd handpiece unit (320). The 2nd handpiece unit (320) may be composed of a high-frequency providing unit that provides high-frequency waves to the user's skin. Since the 4th operating mode requires skin care corresponding to a decrease in elasticity of specific body parts, the use of the 2nd handpiece unit (320), which particularly increases the activity of collagen in the skin and provides elasticity, may be performed for a relatively long time. Preferably, in the 4-2 skin care step of the 4th operating mode, the 2nd handpiece unit (320) may be used for 10 minutes. At this time, preferably, a certain care product may be used together, and said care product may be, for example, Glorious Cream.

[0222] Next, a fourth-3 skin care step can be performed by the third handpiece unit (330). Preferably, in the fourth operating mode, the third handpiece unit (330) can be used for 6 minutes. At this time, preferably, a specific care product may be used together. The care product may be, for example, a Glorious Serum.

[0223] Next, a fourth-4 skin care step can be performed by the fourth handpiece unit (340). Preferably, in the fourth-4 skin care step of the fourth operating mode, the fourth handpiece unit (340) can be used for 8 minutes.

[0224] As described above, in the fourth operating mode, the care step by the second handpiece unit (320) is performed for a long time, so that skin elasticity care can be performed intensively.

[0225] At this time, the specific body part mentioned above may be the jaw area, and since the jaw area has relatively fewer side effects from exfoliation compared to other parts and has a high need for blood circulation management, the high frequency provision time may be shortened and the exfoliation and microcurrent provision time may be increased compared to the first operating mode.

[0226]

[0227] FIG. 11 is an example of a selection screen for selecting the first to fourth operating modes. For example, a user interface screen of the form shown in FIG. 11 may be provided to the user through a display unit (200).

[0228] FIGS. 12a to 12d each show examples of screens explaining the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) to a user in the first to fourth operating modes. For example, a user interface screen of the form shown in FIGS. 12a to 12d is provided to the user through the display unit (200), and the user can control the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) or check the operation of the first to fourth handpiece units (310 to 340) based on the skin care information provided through the display unit (200).

[0229] FIGS. 13a and 13b each show a screen indicating the use and discontinuation of use of a handpiece unit. For example, a user interface screen of the form shown in FIGS. 13a and 13b is provided to the user through a display unit (200), and the user can check the remaining usage time of the handpiece unit or input a signal to discontinue use or a signal to resume use based on the signal provided through the display unit (200).

[0230]

[0231] <Signal transmission method of skin care devices>

[0232] FIG. 14 is a conceptual diagram showing a signal transmission method between a user and a skin care device of a skin care device providing a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0233] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a user may receive skin care information corresponding to the user's skin condition through a skin care device. Herein, the skin care information may include information regarding a control method of a skin care device that provides a skin care method according to an embodiment.

[0234] For example, a user can input user skin information through the user input / output interface of the display device (200). This is as shown by arrow A in FIG. 14. The user skin information is, for example, any information regarding the user's skin, and may include information regarding skin tone, blemishes, skin texture, wrinkles, etc., and the number and types thereof are not limited.

[0235] User skin information input through the display device (200) can be transmitted to the information processing module (400). This is as shown by arrow B.

[0236] The information processing module (400) can generate predetermined skin care information by processing the user skin information provided as described above. As previously explained, the skin care information may be formed by classifying and processing user skin information input through the display device (200), for example, and matching it with skin care data stored in the database unit (410). The classification and processing of user skin information and the matching of skin care data as described above may be performed in the operation unit (420).

[0237] The above skin care information may be, for example, a control method for a handpiece device (300) corresponding to user skin information. For example, the above skin care information may include all information such as the operating time, intensity, and user action of each handpiece unit as a method for controlling the first handpiece unit (310), the second handpiece unit (320), the third handpiece unit (330), and the fourth handpiece unit (340). In addition, the above skin care information may also include information regarding care products (cosmetics, etc.) used together when using each handpiece unit.

[0238] The above skin care information can be transmitted to a display device (200). This is the same as arrow C in FIG. 14.

[0239] The display device (200) can provide the skin care information to the user through a user input / output interface. This is as shown by arrow D in FIG. 14.

[0240] As skin care information is provided based on the user's skin condition as described above, skin care information optimized for the user's skin can be provided. In addition, the user can operate and use the handpiece device (300) based on the provided skin care information, thereby enhancing the skin care effect and preventing unintended skin troubles caused by overuse or misuse.

[0241] According to the present embodiment, control of the handpiece device (300) may be achieved by a user's control signal input through the display device (200). Alternatively, according to one embodiment, a predetermined control button is provided on the handpiece device (300), and control of the handpiece device (300) may be achieved by the user operating the control button. Accordingly, the user can directly control the operation of the handpiece device (300).

[0242]

[0243] FIG. 15 is a conceptual diagram showing a signal transmission method between a user and a skin care device of a skin care device providing a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0244] A skin care device providing a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention can control the operation of a handpiece device (300) by reflecting the user's skin condition through an information processing module (400).

[0245] As previously explained, the user inputs user skin information, and after the input skin information is transmitted to and processed by the information processing module (400), skin care information corresponding to the user's skin information is generated and provided to the user. The above process corresponds to arrows A, B, C, and D in FIG. 15.

[0246] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the information processing module (400) can provide a control signal of the handpiece device (300) corresponding to the user's skin condition.

[0247] For example, a user can input user skin information through a user input / output interface. This is the same as arrow A in Fig. 15.

[0248] The above input user skin information can be transmitted to an information processing module (400). This is the same as arrow B in FIG. 15.

[0249] The information processing module (400) can process the user skin information to generate predetermined skin care information.

[0250] At this time, the operation unit (420) can generate a control signal for the handpiece device (300) using the skin care information. The control signal for the handpiece device (300) can be transmitted to the handpiece device (300). This is as indicated by arrow E in FIG. 15. Additionally, the operating status of the handpiece device (300) can be transmitted to the information processing module (400). This is as indicated by arrow F in FIG. 15.

[0251] The handpiece device (300) can operate according to the handpiece device (300) control signal. That is, the operation of the handpiece device (300) can be automatically set according to the control signal provided by the calculation unit (420).

[0252] According to the present embodiment, the handpiece device (300) can receive a control signal of the handpiece device (300) through an information processing module (400). In addition, the handpiece device (300) that receives the control signal of the handpiece device (300) can provide appropriate control necessary for skin care to the user without requiring user operation.

[0253] According to the present embodiment, control of the handpiece device (300) can be achieved by a control signal provided by an information processing module (400). That is, when user skin information input through the display device (200) is processed by the information processing module (400), skin care information is generated, and control of the handpiece device (300) can be achieved by transmitting the control signal generated by reflecting the skin care information to the handpiece device (300). The control refers, for example, to the operating time and operating intensity of each handpiece module by reflecting the user's skin information, and each handpiece module can set the operating time and operating intensity by reflecting the control signal provided by the information processing module (400).

[0254] Accordingly, according to the embodiment, the information processing module (400) controls the handpiece device (300) so that it can provide skin care appropriate to the user's skin information, so the user does not need to directly control the handpiece device (300). Therefore, user convenience can be improved and accurate skin care actions can be performed.

[0255] For example, if a user needs to directly control the operation of the handpiece device (300), an interface for user input may be provided on the display device (200) for controlling the operation of the handpiece device (300), or an operation button, etc. may be provided on the handpiece device (300).

[0256] However, according to the embodiment, since the information processing module (400) controls the operation of the handpiece device (300) based on user skin information input through the display device (200), the user does not need to directly control the handpiece device (300). As such, since the user does not need to control the handpiece device (300), various interfaces or operating means that must be provided to the user for controlling the handpiece device (300) can be omitted. Accordingly, the economic efficiency of the skin care device is improved, and the overall appearance of the skin care device can be made compact.

[0257] Meanwhile, the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 14 and the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 15 are not mutually exclusive and may be used in combination. That is, it may be possible for a user to directly operate the handpiece device (300), while simultaneously controlling the handpiece device (300) by the information processing module (400). Alternatively, an embodiment in which some signal transmission paths are excluded in FIG. 15 is also possible.

[0258]

[0259] <Usage form of a skin care device providing a skin care method according to an example>

[0260] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the usage form of a skin care device providing a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0261] A skin care device providing a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention can provide a skin care action signal to a user through a display device (200).

[0262] The skin care action signal may be, for example, usage information of the handpiece device (300). The usage information of the handpiece device (300) may be the order of use of the handpiece units, the control method of each handpiece unit, the body part to which the handpiece unit is applied, and the handling method of the handpiece unit (rubbing direction, shape, etc.).

[0263] The above skin care action signal can be provided as a visual signal and an auditory signal. Therefore, the user can improve skin care efficiency by receiving the optimal skin care action signal.

[0264] For example, when it is determined that the skin texture is different even when the color tone and trouble information are the same based on the user's skin information, the output information of the handpiece device (300) is the same, but the handling method (contact direction, etc.) may be different. A skin care device providing a skin care method according to an embodiment of the present invention can improve skin care efficiency by providing an optimal skin care action signal by synthesizing such information.

[0265]

[0266] Skin Care Methods

[0267] FIGS. 17 to 25 are drawings illustrating a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0268] The skin care method described below is a skin care method using the skin care device described above, and can be understood as a skin care method using the skin care device for a predetermined period (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, 90 days), a skin care schedule, a care service schedule, a skin care service management method, or a skin care service provision method. That is, although the title of the invention according to the embodiments below is named as a skin care method, depending on the time of the subject using the skin care service or the subject providing the skin care service, it may be named and understood as a skin care schedule, a skin care service schedule, a skin care service management method, or a skin care service provision method.

[0269]

[0270] <30-Day Firmness Management Program>

[0271] FIG. 17a shows a 30-day elasticity management program as a skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17b is an enlarged view of the skin care schedule for the first and second weeks of the skin care method shown in FIG. 17a.

[0272] A skin care method according to one embodiment of the present invention is a skin care method using a skin care device that provides the skin care method according to the previously described embodiment, and can provide a skin care service on a 7-day basis.

[0273] That is, a 7-day skin caring service provision schedule can be named the first caring service provision cycle. In addition, the first caring service provision cycle may be performed multiple times.

[0274] Additionally, if one unit day in which a skin caring service is provided is identified as one caring day, the first caring service provision cycle can be understood to include seven caring days. That is, one first caring service provision cycle includes the first to seventh caring days in order.

[0275] The seventh caring day, which is the final caring day of the first caring service provision cycle mentioned above, consists of a rest day. The rest day is a caring day in which artificial skin caring services are not provided to the user, thereby providing rest to the skin. Therefore, the burden applied to the user's skin during the skin caring service provision process is reduced, and skin fatigue can be recovered.

[0276] Any one of the first to third caring days within the first caring service provision cycle may provide a caring service to the service user using the first operating mode (general mode 1). The first operating mode may be an elasticity caring mode that cares for the decrease in skin elasticity as previously described, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0278] That is, the first caring service provision cycle may include the A1 caring day and the B1 caring day.

[0279] According to the embodiment, there may be an interval of two caring days between the A1 caring day and the B1 caring day. For example, within a first week skin caring schedule corresponding to one first caring service provision cycle, if the first caring day is the A1 caring day, the B1 caring day may be the fourth caring day. As another example, if the second caring day is the A1 caring day, the B1 caring day may be the fifth caring day.

[0280] According to an embodiment, the first caring service provision cycle may further include a C1 caring day. The C1 caring day may be assigned to a caring day other than the rest day, A1 caring day, and B1 caring day. According to an embodiment, the C1 caring day may be assigned to a caring day after the A1 caring day. The caring service provided on the C1 caring day may be a gua sha massage. For example, the caring service may be provided to the service user using a Silky Shot handpiece without a device connection.

[0281] According to an embodiment, C1 Caring Day, which provides the above gua sha massage, can provide a predetermined skin caring product to the user during the caring service provision process.

[0282] Caring services may be provided in expert mode on the remaining three caring days, excluding the aforementioned rest day, A1 caring day, B1 caring day, and C1 caring day.

[0288] According to a skin care method according to one embodiment, the first caring service provision cycle may be provided to the service user multiple times. That is, the first caring service provision cycle may be provided N times (N≥1).

[0289] According to an embodiment, a 3N (N≥1) round caring service cycle may include a D1 caring day. The caring service provided on the D1 caring day may be an intensive exfoliation caring service provided to the service user. According to an embodiment, the caring service provided on the D1 caring day may include a toning shot. Additionally, according to an embodiment, the D1 caring day may be performed on the first caring day (i.e., the first day) of the 3N (N≥1) round caring service cycle.

[0290] According to an embodiment, an E1 Caring Day may be included. The E1 Caring Day may be located after the A1 Caring Day and the B1 Caring Day. That is, the E1 Caring Day may be located after at least one A1 Caring Day and one B1 Caring Day, and before the A1 Caring Day is performed.

[0291] The caring service provided on the above E1 Caring Day may include Silky Shot and Calming Shot. Through such caring service provided on the E1 Caring Day, pore care, blemish care, and skin soothing effects can be achieved.

[0292] In addition, according to the embodiment, each caring day may include, in addition to the step of providing a skin caring service using a skin care device that provides a skin care method according to the embodiment, a step of providing a predetermined skin caring product to the user. The skin caring product provided on each caring day is as shown in FIG. 17a.

[0293] According to one embodiment, when the first caring service provision cycle is repeated several times, the placement of A1 caring day may differ from one another within each first caring service provision cycle. According to one embodiment, within the first first caring service provision cycle, A1 caring day may be the first caring day. Subsequently, within the next cycle, the second first caring service provision cycle, A1 caring day may be the second caring day. Subsequently, within the next cycle, the third first caring service provision cycle, A1 caring day may be the third caring day. Thus, if A1 caring day is placed on the M (1≥M≥2)th caring day within the Nth first caring service provision cycle, A1 caring day may be placed on the M+1th caring day within the N+1th first caring service provision cycle. In addition, if A1 Caring Day is placed on the 3rd Caring Day within the Nth first Caring Service provision cycle, A1 Caring Day may be placed on the 1st Caring Day or the 2nd Caring Day within the N+1th first Caring Service provision cycle.
