Combination LED Face Mask Layout for Low-Heat Eye Wrinkle Treatment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LED masks for facial skin care cause skin damage due to excessive heat generation, are inefficient in reducing wrinkles around the eyes, and have high manufacturing and maintenance costs due to excessive LED usage.
Innovation Solution
A combination LED mask with a specific arrangement of LED chips emitting different wavelengths (630 nm and 850 nm) is designed to maintain an internal temperature below 43°C, with a light-blocking member to prevent eye exposure and a light transfer system to irradiate the eye area, reducing LED count and battery capacity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple LED light sources are used to improve skin treatment effectiveness, then skin regeneration and wrinkle reduction are enhanced, but heat generation increases causing skin damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mask into multiple temperature control zones with different LED densities. High-density LED regions are placed in areas requiring intensive treatment (forehead, cheeks), while low-density regions are placed near heat-sensitive areas (eyes, nose, mouth), segmenting the overall heat distribution to prevent localized overheating while maintaining treatment effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality control by assigning different LED wavelengths and densities to specific facial regions based on their unique treatment needs and heat sensitivity. For example, cooler wavelengths and lower densities are used around the eyes and nose, while higher densities are used on the forehead and cheeks, optimizing both treatment efficacy and thermal safety locally
2Area of stationary object
If LED density is increased to enhance treatment coverage, then more areas are treated effectively, but manufacturing and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mask into modular temperature control zones with standardized LED modules that can be manufactured independently and assembled. This modular approach allows for optimized production of each zone type while maintaining overall large-area coverage, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost compared to uniform high-density LED arrays
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by concentrating LED density only in regions where maximum treatment intensity is required, rather than uniformly distributing high-density LEDs across the entire mask. This selective approach achieves comprehensive treatment coverage while significantly reducing the total LED count and associated manufacturing and maintenance costs
3Object-affected harmful factors
If opaque material is used to block light from entering eyes, then eye protection is ensured, but light transmission to skin around eyes is prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the eye region into two functional zones: an opaque light-blocking zone positioned to prevent light entry into the eye socket, and a translucent light-transmitting zone positioned to allow light passage to the periorbital skin. This spatial segmentation simultaneously achieves eye protection and effective treatment of wrinkles around the eyes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different material properties to different regions of the mask around the eyes. Opaque materials are used specifically in areas that could direct light into the eyes, while translucent materials are used in areas that need to transmit light to the skin around the eyes, optimizing both protection and treatment locally
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The mask effectively reduces wrinkles and improves skin whitening while preventing eye exposure to light, minimizing skin damage and costs through optimized LED placement and structure.
Implementation Method 1
a light irradiation unit installed in the mask unit and including a plurality of LEDs arranged on a substrate, wherein the LEDs include multiple types of LED chips to emit light of different wavelengths
Implementation Method 2
the light-emitting diode (LED) light sources are based on the fact that photons are received by chromatophores or photoreceptors in cell tissues and promote cellular metabolic activities, in which the light absorbed in cells increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis
