Description

[0001] Device for external application to the skin, method and use

[0002] The invention relates to a device for external application to the skin according to the preamble of claim 1, a method for applying to the skin according to the preamble of claim 9 and a use according to the preamble of claim 10.

[0003] Massage rollers for the skin, for example made of stone, are well known for massaging the skin.

[0004] A disadvantage is that the rollers regularly only allow a superficial rolling motion on the skin and are essentially operable by grazing the skin.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and reliable device for external application to the skin, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0006] The problem is solved by a device for external application to the skin, in particular the face, in the form of a processing body with a predetermined surface structure, wherein the processing body has a rounded longitudinal shape tapering at least at one processing end, with substantially parallel indentations along a longitudinal path of the surface of the processing body, the indentations being arranged starting from an upper processing end of the rounded longitudinal shape, wherein-

[0007] CONFIRMATION COPY where the indentations exhibit at least a partial curvature, in particular a spiral shape.

[0008] The staggered and curved arrangement of the surface structure allows for a targeted and intensive displacement of the epidermis against adjacent skin areas with minimal effort. This indirectly influences the lymphatic system, resulting in skin regeneration and tightening with regular use. Different skin layers are stretched vertically and / or side by side against each other, enabling direct, targeted, and highly localized lymphatic drainage. The end of the device can be precisely positioned, and the partial fixation allows for a localized massage, increasing safety and enhancing the local effect. The rotating motion of the device creates a dynamic cycle of lifting and pushing the upper skin, particularly facial skin.Advantageously, the rotation from the upper working area to the beginning of the holding area follows a spiral curve of approximately 180 degrees, which is based on the waveform of a sine wave and / or the sinusoidal rhythm. The device can be used as a massage tool, lymphatic booster, and for reducing skin wrinkles. One axis of rotation of the working body can be tilted as needed to achieve improved adaptation to the respective skin areas.

[0009] The tapered end of the device, with its curved indentations, allows for massage, particularly in the sensitive under- or over-eye area, which is prone to swelling and wrinkles. A gentle rotation from the inner corner of the eye along the lower eyelid to the temple is beneficial, promoting muscle relaxation and stimulating the flow of lymph to the temples, which can be effective against muscle tension. The device's shape facilitates pulsating movements to which the lymphatic system responds effectively. This minimizes the risk to the eye, especially in the sensitive eye area. It is advantageous if the curves of the indentations extend from the end of the device to a mid-section, particularly to the lower third. Larger areas of skin can also be effectively reached.

[0010] It is advantageous if contact surfaces are provided between the indentations, particularly in the form of narrow surfaces, especially rounded ones, and / or if the indentations have a substantially V-shaped and / or U-shaped cross-section. The processing method can thus be adapted to specific skin characteristics, especially more sensitive skin.

[0011] It is advantageous if a holding area is provided at one holding end of the machining body.

[0012] It is advantageous if the width of the cross-section of the indentations narrows towards the end of the machining of the longitudinal body shape.

[0013] It is advantageous if, from the end of the machining process to the end of the indentations, the curvature has at least a circumferential spiral shape, in particular corresponding to a sinusoidal wave shape.

[0014] It is advantageous if the elongated body shape has a height of approximately 12-20 cm, particularly approximately 18 cm, with the indentations having a depth of 2-3 mm. A size adapted to the average face, for example, is a height of approximately 18 cm and a diameter at the thickest point of approximately 3.6 cm.

[0015] It is advantageous if the workpiece is made entirely of a hygienic plastic and / or ceramic material, especially using a customizable 3D printing process.

[0016] The problem is also solved by a method for applying a wave-like mountain and valley deformation to the skin areas, namely with a processing body that has a tapered longitudinal body shape that is rounded at least at one processing end, with indentations along the longitudinal course of the surface, which, when the processing body is rotated around an axis of rotation, are designed to produce an at least partially curved application to the skin, wherein, to support the wave movement, the skin is in particular creamed and / or moistened before being applied with the processing body.

[0017] The problem is also solved by using a processing body with a predetermined surface structure for applying, in particular massaging, the skin, wherein the processing body has a rounded longitudinal body shape that tapers at least at one processing end, with substantially parallel indentations along a longitudinal path of the surface of the processing body, the indentations being arranged starting from an upper processing end of the rounded longitudinal body shape, wherein the indentations have at least a partial curvature, in particular a spiral shape.

[0018] Facial massage using the massage tool helps reduce swelling and improve blood circulation. Moistening the face beforehand ensures optimal results.
