SKINCARE DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE
An example skincare device includes a main body having a first side, a second side, an intermediate portion, a groove, a light source, a motor, a temperature control unit, and a user control configured to control one or more of the light source, motor, and temperature control unit. The skincare device can provide heat, cool, light, and/or vibrational therapy to a user's skin.
1 . A skincare device configured to treat the skin of a user, comprising:
a main body having a first side having a first surface, a second side substantially opposite the first side having a second surface, and an intermediate portion extending from the first side to the second side having a third surface;
a light source disposed within the main body and configured to emit light to treat said skin, the light source configured to emit the light adjacent the first side;
a motor disposed within the main body and configured to produce pulsations of said skincare device;
a temperature control unit disposed within the main body, the temperature control unit configured to reduce the temperature of said skincare device device to treat said skin; and
a user control disposed on the intermediate portion, the user control configured to operate the light source, the motor, and the temperature control unit.
2 . The skincare device of claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises light-emitting diode (“LED”) lights.
3 . The skincare device of claim 2 , wherein the light source is configured to emit red light.
4 . The skincare device of claim 3 , wherein the light source is configured to emit green light.
5 . The skincare device of claim 4 , wherein the light source is configured to emit blue light.
6 . The skincare device of claim 1 , wherein the second surface defines a set of protrusions.
7 . The skincare device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor disposed within the main body configured to detect the temperature of the skincare device and shut down the skincare device in the event that it exceeds a certain temperature.
8 . The skincare device of claim 1 , further comprising a removeable locking mechanism configured to be inserted into the groove.
9 . The skincare device of claim 8 , wherein the locking mechanism is substantially transparent and comprised of plastic.
10 . The skincare device of claim 1 , further comprising a beauty accessory secured in place on the first side by the locking mechanism.
11 . The skincare device of claim 1 , further comprising a controller disposed within the main body and an interface operatively connected to the controller, the interface being configured to transmit information to a mobile phone.
12 . The skincare device of claim 1 , wherein the third surface is comprised of silicone.
13 . The skincare device of claim 12 , wherein a portion of the second surface is comprised of silicone and is integrally formed with the third surface.
14 . A skincare device configured to treat the skin of a user, comprising:
a main body having a first side having a first surface, a second side substantially opposite the first side having a second surface, and an intermediate portion extending from the first side to the second side, the first side and the intermediate portion cooperatively defining a groove extending toward the second side;
a light source disposed within the main body and configured to emit light to treat said skin, the light source configured to emit the light adjacent the first side, the light source comprising an LED light;
a temperature control unit disposed within the main body, the temperature control unit configured to generate heat to treat said skin and to transfer the heat to the first side; and
a user control disposed on the intermediate portion.
15 . The skincare device of claim 14 , wherein the light source is configured to emit red, green, and blue light.
16 . The skincare device of claim 15 , further comprising a removable locking mechanism.
17 . The skincare device of claim 16 , further comprising a controller disposed within the main body and an interface operatively connected to the controller, the interface being configured to transmit information to a mobile phone.
18 . The skincare device of claim 14 , further comprising first and second sensors disposed within the main body configured to detect the temperature of the skincare device.
19 . A skincare device configured to treat the skin of a user, comprising:
a main body having a first side having a first surface and a second side substantially opposite the first side having a second surface, main body defining a groove extending toward the second side;
a light source disposed within the main body and configured to emit light to treat said skin, the light source configured to emit the light adjacent the first side and into the groove;
a motor disposed within the main body configured to produce pulsations of said skincare device;
a controller disposed within the main body; and
a user control.
20 . The skincare device of claim 19 , wherein light source is configured to emit red, green, and blue light.
