Abstract
A facial aesthetic treatment apparatus includes a housing provided with a nozzle and a suction pump for developing a suction force. An attachment is mounted to the nozzle for applying the suction force to a facial skin for removal of sebum, dirt or the like debris from the facial skin. The apparatus is capable of regulating the suction force being applied to the skin, and particularly minimizing the suction force immediately in response to the user's action of ceasing the treatment, thereby making it easy to remove the attachment from the facial skin and therefore reducing a risk of causing a pain and leaving the purpuric mark as well. A regulator is incorporated to regulate the suction force being applied to the facial skin for easy and safe removal of the suction force.
Claims3
A facial aesthetic treatment apparatus comprising:
- a housing provided with a nozzle and a suction pump for developing a suction force through said nozzle;
- a tubular attachment adapted to be coupled to said nozzle for applying the suction force to facial skin for removing sebum or the like debris from the facial skin;
- and
- a regulator which alters pump characteristics of said suction pump to regulate the suction force being applied through said nozzle to the facial skin, wherein
- said suction pump includes a main pump chamber responsible for developing said suction force, said regulator comprising an auxiliary chamber communicating with said main pump chamber, and an actuator which varies a volume of said auxiliary chamber.
A facial aesthetic treatment apparatus comprising:
- a housing provided with a nozzle and a suction pump for developing a suction force through said nozzle;
- a tubular attachment adapted to be coupled to said nozzle for applying the suction force to facial skin for removing sebum or the like debris from the facial skin;
- a regulator which alters pump characteristics of said suction pump to regulate the suction force being applied through said nozzle to the facial skin;
- a humidifier provided in an adjacent relation to said nozzle for providing a stream of mist toward the facial skin, said humidifier comprising:
- a spray nozzle with a constriction;
- a water tank supplying the water to said constriction;
- a switch for selectively opening and closing an exit port leading from an exhaust port of said suction pump through an exhaust path;
- and
- a bypass exhaust path diverging from said exhaust path at a portion between said exhaust port and said exit port to said spray nozzle, said bypass exhaust path responding to the closure of said exit port by said switch for introducing a pressurized air into said spray nozzle to give an air jet flowing through said constriction, thereby causing the water to be sucked up into said air jet for generation of the stream of mist.
