TW200640525A - A facial membrane mask for transcutaneous electric acupuncture or massage and its device - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention is related to a facial membrane mask and its device for cosmetic and health care applications. This invention is particularly related to transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulators and cosmetic facial membrane masks. The combination of these two devices results in synergism effects. This invention uses a facial membrane mask that can absorb skin care solution. Electrodes are integrated with the membrane at the positions which correspond to facial acupoints. When the wet facial membrane mask covers the face, the electric pulses generated by the stimulator can stimulate the corresponding acupoints, nerve or muscle. The stimulation results in acupuncture or massage effects. Therefore, both the traditional facial membrane's skin care effects, such as moisturizing and whitening etc., and acupuncture/ massage effects can be obtained concurrently. Being able to modulate facial meridians and improve subcutaneous blood circulation, this invention is useful for cosmetic and health care purposes.
