Facial toning system
| Details |
Inventors: Burke, Robert E.;

Primary Examiner: Manahan; Todd E.
Assistant Examiner: Robert; Eduardo C.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Smith; Ronald E.
A three phase facial toning system includes an applicator having an applicator electrode and a ground electrode that are electrically separated from one another by an insulated base. When the applicator is used, the user's hand is in contact with the ground electrode so that the ground electrode is grounded when in use. In the first phase, a cleanser is applied to facial skin, a first switch actuator is pressed, and the applicator electrode is placed into contact with the skin in a prescribed way. Pressing the first switch actuator places the applicator electrode in communication with a positive voltage so that electrons flow from the user's skin to the applicator electrode to help the cleansing action of the cleanser. In the second phase, a vitalizing gel is applied to the face and a second switch actuator is actuated. A voltage oscillates between the applicator electrode and the ground electrode at a predetermined rate of oscillation so that electrons alternately flow into and out of the user's skin to assist the action of the vitalizer. In the third phase, a moisturizer is applied to the skin and a third switch actuator is actuated. Electrons then flow from the applicator electrode into the skin to enhance the effectiveness of the moisturizer. A housing includes three wells for holding jars that contain the cleanser, vitalizer, and moisturizer and a fourth well that holds the applicator and a power cord that extends from the applicator to the circuit that controls the current flow to the electrodes. Batteries supply power to the circuit. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The long-standing but heretofore unfulfilled need for an apparatus that overcomes the limitations of the prior art is now met by a new, useful, and nonobvious invention.
The present invention includes an applicator having an insulated base, an applicator electrode extending from a first end of the insulated base and a ground electrode extending from a second end of the insulated base.
A source of electrical power is in independent electrical communication with the applicator electrode and the ground electrode.
A first, second and third switch means, actuated by associated push buttons, are disposed in circuit-opening and circuit-closing relation between the source of electrical power and the applicator.
The novel apparatus further includes a circuit means, including said first, second and third switch means, that applies a predetermined positive voltage to the applicator electrode when the first switch means is closed, that applies a predetermined voltage that oscillates between the applicator electrode and the ground electrode when the second switch means is closed, and that applies a positive voltage to the ground electrode when the third switch means is closed.
The ground electrode is adapted to be held by a user's hand so that the circuit is grounded.
The circuit, when the first switch means is closed, opens the second and third switch means.
When the applicator electrode is then held against the user's skin while the ground applicator is held in the user's hand, electrons flow from the user's skin to the applicator electrode.
Closing the second switch means opens the first and third switch means.
When the applicator electrode is then held against the user's skin while the ground applicator is held by the user, electrons flow at a predetermined oscillation rate from the applicator electrode:into the user's skin and from the user's skin into the applicator electrode.
Closing the third switch means opens the first and second switch means.
When the applicator electrode is then held against the user's skin while the ground electrode is held by the user, electrons flow from the applicator electrode into the user's skin
