Handheld facial massage and light therapy device
First Claim
1. A facial treatment assembly combination, comprising:
- a handpiece defined by a handle section and a head section extending therefrom, said head section further defined by a head receptacle formed therein and two or more electrical contact pads dispersed within the walls comprising said head receptacle;
a group of head modules, wherein one of said group of head modules is at least partially insertible into said head receptacle at a time, the group of head modules comprising at least;
a first light-emitting head module comprising a head module housing having one or more lamp elements contained therein, said first light-emitting module having a lens at a head module face such that said lamp elements are visible therethrough, the light emittable from said first light-emitting head module being of a first wavelength; and
a dual-lobed head module comprising a head module housing having a face from which extend a pair of face sections separated by a groove formed therebetween, said face sections further comprising an emitter element extending directly from said head module housing whereby said emitter face is defined by a pair of metallic elements each terminating in a metallic face, said metallic faces separated by a non-metallic insulation element, wherein said insulation element defines a groove that is recessed relative to said metallic faces; and
wherein each said head module further comprises two or more electrical contact pads dispersed on the wall defined by an inner housing portion of each said head module, said head module electrical contact pads cooperating with said handpiece electrical contact pads such that each said head module contact pads is aligned with a said handpiece contact pad when said head module is inserted into said head receptacle.

Abstract
One form of the device is a standard handpiece having a series of interchangeable treatment heads. The handpiece can accept cooperating treatment heads for twist-locking therein or by other engagement arrangement. The treatment heads may or may not have an internal motor assembly within them to create vibratory motion in the assembled device. The groups of possible treatment heads include LED-light-emitting heads, microcurrent-emitting heads, a treatment head having an abrasive or pebbled surface, as well as a bristle brush head. In another version, the handpiece and treatment head are integrated and not exchangeable. In this second version, a combination LED-light-emitting outer ring surrounds a central dual-lobe massage surface. The dual-lobe massage surface may be made from an inert material such as silicone, or it may be metallic in order to provide emission of therapeutic microcurrents.

11. A facial treatment device, comprising:
-
a handpiece defined by a handle section and a head section; a facial massage treatment assembly defined by a face protruding from said head section, said facial massage face comprising; a first housing that detachably attaches to said head section; a central current emitter section comprising a pair of metallic lobes in relative spaced relation and separated by an insulation element further comprising an emitter element extending directly from said first housing whereby said emitter face is defined by a pair of metallic elements each terminating in a metallic face, said metallic faces separated by a non-metallic insulation element, wherein said insulation element defines a groove that is recessed relative to said metallic faces; a light emitting ring encompassing said central current emitter section; and a mode control switch for activating said current emitter section to emit electrical current through said metallic lobes and further to activate said light emitting ring to emit colored light therefrom; and said facial treatment device further comprising a second facial massage treatment assembly defined by a second housing detachably attachable to said head section, and a vibration-generating mechanism contained within said second housing, with electrical current for said vibration-generating mechanism provided from said handle section. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
