Description

Current controller for mask pack {CURRENT CONTROLLER FOR MASK PACK}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mask pack current controller, and more particularly, to a mask pack current controller that can be worn on the ear or head and can supply a fine current to a mask pack using an iontophoresis method.

Recently, as the interest of skin care is increased, a mask pack is widely used for a certain time to stably supply cosmetic materials such as cosmetics and natural materials to the face for the purpose of skin improvement.

Conventional mask packs that adhere to such skins do not have sufficient absorption of cosmetic substances and require a long period of contact with the mask packs for sufficient absorption and thus obtaining the effect.

On the other hand, the skin is composed of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue.When the cosmetic or drug is applied to the skin, the epidermis of the upper layer of the skin recognizes the cosmetic as a toxin, and the cosmetic or drug is influenced by the molecular size, biological properties and biochemical phenomenon. Because it interferes with the absorption of the skin, the amount actually absorbed by the skin is very small.

Accordingly, techniques have been developed to give the skin an electrical or physical stimulus so that cosmetics and useful ingredients are quickly absorbed into the skin.

As a technique for allowing such cosmetics and ingredients useful for the skin to be quickly absorbed into the skin, an iontophoresis method is known.

The iontophoresis method refers to a method of allowing a microcurrent to flow through the skin so that an active ingredient included in a drug or cosmetic with a charge penetrates into the skin by electric repulsive force.

In the mask pack using the iontophoresis method, a conductive pattern through which a fine current flows is formed.

Therefore, in order to supply a fine current to the mask pack using the iontophoresis method, Korean Patent No. 10-1771361, as a prior art, connects the earphone jack connection terminal of a mobile terminal to a connector device to apply a fine current to the mask pack. The technology to supply is disclosed.

By the way, in the case of using such a connector device, each conductive lead wire connected to the connector device is connected to each electrode terminal of the mask pack and the connector is connected to the portable terminal by an electric wire. There is a problem in that the movement of the user is limited by causing inconvenience.

In particular, when the user wants to move while the mask pack is attached, the user must carry the connector device and the mobile terminal with at least one hand so as not to short-circuit the electrical connection between the mask pack and the mobile terminal, thereby reducing the user's convenience. There is a problem.
