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.
Claims2
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 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 regulator comprises a resilient tube extending from said nozzle to an open-air end to define a bypass suction path, and an actuator being held in a contactable relation with a portion of said resilient tube for pressing said actuator against said resilient tube to close said bypass suction path to a varying extent.
