Abstract

Provided is a pressure-reduction skin management device, which includes: a suction unit for sucking the skin by applying a pressure reduction force to the skin so as to more effectively transfer a stimulus for skin management to the skin while sufficiently securing the pressure reduction force; and a skin stimulation unit provided on the suction unit, for applying energy to the expanded skin. The suction unit includes: a suction cup having a space formed therein and an open lower end to transfer the energy to the skin when coming into contact with the skin; and a housing surrounding the upperportion and the side surface of the suction cup while being spaced apart outward from the suction cup, the housing forming the outer shape of the suction unit. The skin stimulation unit includes a heating/cooling unit provided on the suction cup, for heating or cooling the suction cup.
