Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: device contains a base made in the form of a mask following contours of the human face with holes in the area of eyes, nose, and mouth. The base is a sealed container formed by tight film from the side of contact with the surface of the human face and a flat rigid plate from the opposite side, filled with granulate. Thermoelectric elements, support junctions of which are conjugated with an air radiator, are installed with impacting junctions on an outer surface of the plate, with a good thermal contact. Thermoelectric elements are connected with electrical wires to a programmable DC source implementing different modes of their operation. The base is equipped with a mounting device for tight fixation of the device on the human face. The plate, from the outer side, using fasteners, is brought into a tight mechanical contact with a cuff to form gaps from edges. The cuff, using a pipe, is connected to an injector, operation of which is adjusted by a control unit.

EFFECT: provision of a simultaneous thermal effect and mechanical massage of the face.

Description

The invention relates to medicine and is intended for thermal cosmetic procedures, mainly on the face.

The prototype of the invention is the device described in [1]. The device contains a base made of highly thermally conductive material in the form of a mask that follows the contours of a human face with holes in the eyes, nose and mouth. The base on the side of contact with the surface of the face has a thin silicone layer, and on the opposite side is associated with acting junctions of thermoelements. The thermoelements are connected to a programmable direct current source that implements various modes of their operation. Reference junctions of thermoelements are connected with an air radiator. The base is equipped with a fastening device for tight fixation of the device on the human face, it is a sealed container filled with granulate, formed on the side of contact with the surface of the human face with a strong film and on the opposite side with a flat rigid plate. The plate and the granulate are made of a material with a high thermal conductivity.

The disadvantage of the device is the impossibility of simultaneous thermal cosmetic procedures and mechanical facial massage.

The aim of the invention is to realize the possibility of simultaneous thermal exposure and mechanical massage of the face by the device.

The block diagram of the device is shown in Fig. 1.

The device contains a base 1 made in the form of a mask that follows the contours of a human face with holes 2 in the area of the eyes, nose and mouth. The base is a sealed container formed from the side of contact with the surface of the human face by a strong film (plastic or cloth) 3 and from the opposite side by a flat rigid plate 4 filled with granulate 5. Plate 4 and granulate 5 are made of a material with a high thermal conductivity (for example, copper or aluminium). On the outer surface of the plate 4 with good thermal contact, thermoelectric elements 6 are installed by actuating junctions, the reference junctions of which are associated with an air radiator 7. On the outer surface of the film 3, which is in contact with the human face, there is a thin silicone layer 8, which prevents mechanical damage to the skin of the face upon contact with device. Thermoelectric elements 6 are connected by electric wires to a programmable direct current source that implements various modes of their operation (cooling, heating, their alternation). The base 1 is provided with a fastening device 9 for tightly fixing the device on a person's face. The flat rigid base plate 4 on the outside is brought into close mechanical contact with the cuff 11 with the help of fasteners 10 with the formation of gaps along the edges. The cuff 11 is connected by means of a tube 12 to the supercharger 13, the operation of which is regulated by the control unit 14.

The device works as follows.

Before starting the procedure, the device is fixed on the face of a person subject to thermal exposure, ensuring tight contact of the silicone layer 8 located on the surface of the film 3 of the base 1, taking into account its morphological features due to the elastic properties of the system film 3 - granulate 5 and the presence of a fastener 9. Procedure begins with the inclusion of a programmable power supply unit, which, according to a given program, supplies electric current of the required size and polarity to thermoelectric elements 6 placed on plate 4. The dose and duration of thermal exposure is determined by a cosmetologist, who also monitors the patient's condition. The air cooler 7 is designed to remove excess heat from the reference junctions of thermoelectric modules 5, coupled with the plate 4, when the face is cooled.

In order to carry out, in addition to the thermal effect of mechanical massage, which improves blood microcirculation and promotes the training of blood vessels, the blower 13 through the tube 12 pumps and pumps air into the cuff 11 in accordance with the regulatory program of the control unit 14.
