Description

BESCHREIBUNG DESCRIPTION

Verfahren zur Steigerung der Durchblutung und des Stoffaustausches der HautMethod for increasing blood circulation and mass transfer of the skin

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Durchblutungssteigerung und Verbesserung des Sauerstoffaustausches, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine kosmetische Zubereitung auf die zu behandelnde Haut appliziert wird und anschließend mit Hilfe einer rotierenden o- der oszilierenden Bürste in die zu behandelnde Haut eingearbeitet wird oder dass eine kosmetische Zubereitung auf eine Bürste aufgetragen wird, die Bürste mit Hilfe eines Antriebes in Rotation oder Oszillation versetzt wird und die zu behandelnde Haut anschließend mit Hilfe der rotierenden oder oszilierenden Bürste behandelt wird, wobei die kosmetische Zubereitung in beiden Verfahrenswegen mindestens einen durchblutungsteigernden Wirkstoff enthält.The invention relates to a method for increasing the circulation and improving the oxygen exchange, characterized in that a cosmetic preparation is applied to the skin to be treated and then incorporated by means of a rotating o- oszilierenden or brush in the skin to be treated, or that a cosmetic preparation a brush is applied, the brush is rotated or oscillated by means of a drive, and the skin to be treated is subsequently treated by means of the rotating or oscillating brush, the cosmetic preparation containing in both methods at least one perfusion-enhancing agent.

Kosmetische Zubereitungen die nach Applikation auf die Haut eine Durchblutungssteigerung bzw. verbesserten Sauerstoffaustausch der Haut hervorrufen sollen gibt es viele. Insbesondere ist es im Stand der Technik weit verbreitet, kosmetische Zubereitungen mit sogenannten durchblutungsteigernden Wirkstoffen anzureichern, da diese eine Erhöhung der Hautfeuchte versprechen.Cosmetic preparations which, after application to the skin, are said to increase blood circulation or improve the oxygen exchange of the skin, are many. In particular, it is widely used in the prior art to enrich cosmetic preparations with so-called circulation-enhancing active ingredients, since these promise an increase in skin moisture.

Die durchblutungsteigernde Leistung der Zubereitungen bei einmaliger Applikation reicht aber bei sehr schlecht durchbluteter Haut oftmals nicht aus um eine gute Durchblutung und Sauerstoffversorgung über einen längeren Zeitraum zu erhalten. Nur ein wiederholtes Applizieren schafft hierbei Linderung.The perfusion-enhancing performance of the preparations with a single application is often insufficient in very poorly perfused skin to maintain a good circulation and oxygen supply over a longer period of time. Only repeated application creates relief.

Aus EP 1 304 989 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Reinigung der Haut bekannt, bei der mit Hilfe einer rotierenden Bürste und einer Wasch- bzw. Peelingzubereitung die Haut gereinigt werden kann. Der Fachmann spricht hier von Mikrodermabrasion. Dabei werden die o- bersten Schichten der Epidermis abgetragen und die zurückbleibende HauLerschoint jünder und frischer. Eine solche Behandlung stellt jedoch eine erhebliche Belastung für die behandelten Hautareale dar. Insbesondere werden neben den toten Hautzellen auch Hautfett und Wasser entfernt.From EP 1 304 989 a device for cleaning the skin is known in which the skin can be cleaned with the aid of a rotating brush and a washing or exfoliating preparation. The specialist speaks here of microdermabrasion. The o- be burst layers of the epidermis removed and the remaining HauLersch oi nt younger and fresher. However, such treatment is a significant burden on the treated skin areas. In particular, skin fat and water are removed in addition to the dead skin cells.

Für den Fachmann unerwartet war, das unter Verwendung einer Vorrichtung, welche eine rotierende und/oder oszillierende Bürste aufweist, die Einarbeitung von kosmetischen Zubereitungen, die eine Steigerung der Durchblutung bzw. Mikrozirkulation und des Stoffaustausch in den kleinsten Blutgefäßen verursachen, eine erheblich stärkere Steigerung der Durchblutung und des Stoffaustausch in den kleinsten Blutgefäßen hervorrufen, als wenn sie normal mit den Fingern/Händen eingearbeitet wird.For a person skilled in the art, using a device which has a rotating and / or oscillating brush, the incorporation of cosmetic preparations which cause an increase in the circulation or microcirculation and the mass transfer in the smallest blood vessels was unexpectedly a considerably greater increase Circulation and mass transfer in the smallest blood vessels, as if it is incorporated normally with the fingers / hands.

Insbesondere sind Zubereitungen vorteilhaft, die mindestens einen Wirkstoff aus der Gruppe Cassisextrakte, Ginkoextrakte, Proanthocyanidine, Flavonoide, Rutinderivate, Weinlaub, Vitamin C, Sauerstoff und Peptide enthalten.In particular, preparations are advantageous which contain at least one active substance from the group of cassie extracts, ginky extracts, proanthocyanidins, flavonoids, rutin derivatives, vine leaves, vitamin C, oxygen and peptides.

Zubereitungen im Sinne der Erfindung sind insbesondere Emulsionen, die neben einer Wasserphase auch eine Ölphase enthalten. Der Vorteil von Emulsionen ist, das die Gleiteigenschaften erheblich besser sind als bei rein wässrigen Zubereitungen. Die Haut wird dadurch viel weniger gereizt (irritiert) als bei der bekannten Reinigungs- bzw. Mikro- abrassionsbehandlung. Die mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erzielten Ergebnisse sind bei genauerer Betrachtung nicht vergleichbar obwohl die augescheinliche betrach- tung der behandelten Hautareale nicht unbedingt einen Unterschied zeigt. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wirkt sich durch seine verstärkte Durchblutung auf die tieferliegenden Hausschichten aus und nicht wie der Stand der Technik auf die oberste tote Zellschicht. Dar erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zeigt dadurch eine länger andauernde Wirkung die sich bei regelmäßiger Anwendung in einer allgemeinen Verjüngung der Haut wiederspiegelt. Eine regelmäßige Mikrodermabrasionsbehandlung ist auf Grund der starken Reizwirkung dagegen nicht durchführbar und würde zu einer anhaltenden Schädigung führen, da mit dem Entfernen der toten Hautzellen eine hauteigene Schutzwirkung verloren ginge.Preparations in the context of the invention are, in particular, emulsions which, in addition to a water phase, also contain an oil phase. The advantage of emulsions is that the sliding properties are considerably better than with purely aqueous preparations. The skin is therefore much less irritated (irritated) than in the known cleaning or micro-abrasion treatment. The results obtained with the method according to the invention are not comparable on closer inspection although the eye-clear view of the treated skin areas does not necessarily show a difference. The inventive method affects by its increased blood flow to the lower-lying house layers and not like the prior art on the top dead cell layer. The process according to the invention thereby shows a longer-lasting effect which, with regular use, is reflected in a general rejuvenation of the skin. On the other hand, regular microdermabrasion treatment is impractical due to the strong irritant effect and would lead to persistent damage, since the removal of dead skin cells would result in the loss of a skin's own protective effect.

Die Zubereitungen enthalten gemäß der Erfindung außer den vorgenannten Substanzen gegebenenfalls die in der Kosmetik üblichen Zusatzstoffe, beispielsweise Parfüm, Farbstoffe, antimikrobielle Stoffe, rückfettende Agentien, Komplexierungs- und Seque- strierungsagentien, Perlglanzagentien, Pflanzenextrakte, Vitamine, Wirkstoffe, Konservierungsmittel, Bakterizide, Pigmente, die eine färbende Wirkung haben, Ver- dickungsmittel, weichmachende, anfeuchtende und/oder feuchthaltende Substanzen, oder andere übliche Bestandteile einer kosmetischen oder dermatologischen Formulierung wie Alkohole, Polyole, Polymere, Schaumstabilisatoren, Elektrolyte, organische Lösemittel oder Silikonderivate.The preparations according to the invention optionally contain, in addition to the abovementioned substances, the additives customary in cosmetics, for example perfume, dyes, antimicrobial substances, lipid-replenishing agents, complexing and sequestering agents, pearlescing agents, plant extracts, vitamins, active ingredients, preservatives, bactericides, pigments, which have a coloring effect, thickening, softening, moisturizing and / or moisturizing substances, or other conventional ingredients of a cosmetic or dermatological formulation such as alcohols, polyols, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, organic solvents or silicone derivatives.

Erfindungsgemäß weisen die Vorrichtungen eine Antriebseinheit und eine Bürste auf, die eine Vielzahl von Borsten oder Noppen trägt, die sich von der Oberfläche einer Trägerplatte in den Raum erstrecken und die Trägerplatte eine Verbindung/Kupplung zur Antriebseinheit aufweist. Durch die Antriebseinheit wird die Bürste in Rotation oder in oszillierende Bewegungen versetz. Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird die Bürste mit der kosmetischen Zubereitung benetzt und diese anschließend unter Rotation der bzw. Oszillation der Bürste auf der Haut appliziert oder die kosmetische Zubereitung wird aus die Haut aufgebracht und anschließend mit der rotierenden bzw. oszillierenden Bürste in die Haut eingearbeitet.According to the invention, the devices comprise a drive unit and a brush which carries a plurality of bristles or nubs which extend from the surface of a carrier plate into the space and the carrier plate has a connection / coupling to the drive unit. By the drive unit, the brush is set in rotation or in oscillating movements. In the method according to the invention, the brush is wetted with the cosmetic preparation and this then applied with rotation of the or oscillation of the brush on the skin or the cosmetic preparation is applied from the skin and then incorporated with the rotating or oscillating brush in the skin.

Die Antriebseinheit kann einen Elektromotor aufweisen, der z.B. durch eine Batterie oder Akkumulator gespeist wird. Es ist auch im Sinne der Erfindung alternative stromlose Antriebseinheiten zu verwenden, z.B. Federantriebe oder Federaufzüge.The drive unit may comprise an electric motor, e.g. powered by a battery or accumulator. It is also within the meaning of the invention to use alternative electroless drive units, e.g. Spring drives or spring lifts.

Im Sinne der Erfindung ist es Bürsten zu verwenden, die nicht nur Borsten einer Sorte tragen, sondern Borsten unterschiedlicher Dimensionen und/oder Härte gemischt oder Borstenbüschel unterschiedlicher Dimensionen und/oder Härte gemischt auf der Trägerplatte anzuordnen.For the purposes of the invention, it is to be used brushes that not only bristles of a variety, but bristles of different dimensions and / or hardness mixed or bristle tufts of different dimensions and / or hardness mixed on the support plate to order.

Besonders vorteilhaft haben sich Bürsten erwiesen, die zwischen 1.000 und 35.000, insbesondere 20.000 bis 30.000 Borsten aufweisen, wobei die Borsten eine Faserstärke von 0,045 bis 1 ,2 mm aufweisen. Die Länge der Borsten ist vorteilhafter Weise zwischen 0,4 bis 1 ,5 cm gewählt.Brushes have proven particularly advantageous, which have between 1,000 and 35,000, in particular 20,000 to 30,000 bristles, wherein the bristles have a fiber thickness of 0.045 to 1, 2 mm. The length of the bristles is advantageously chosen between 0.4 to 1, 5 cm.

Im Sinne der Erfindung ist es auch anstelle der borstenbesetzten Bürsten, Bürsten zu verwenden die eine Vielzahl von Fingern aus gespritzten elastischen Borsten tragen. Fingerbesetzte Bürsten haben den Vorteil einer besseren Reinigbarkeit, da die Finger einzelständig auf der Trägerplatte angeordnet sind. Auch ist der Massageeffekt von Fingern höher als der von Borsten.For the purposes of the invention, it is also in lieu of bristled brushes to use brushes carrying a plurality of fingers of molded elastic bristles. Fingerbesetzte brushes have the advantage of better cleanability, since the fingers are arranged individually on the support plate. Also, the massage effect of fingers is higher than that of bristles.

Bevorzugt iβt die Bürste lösbar mit der Antriebseinheit verbunden, so das die Bürste austauschbar ist. Die hat den Vorteil, das sich die Bürste einfach entsorgen lässt (Einmalbe¬ nutzung) bzw. leicht separat reinigen lässt. Im Sinne der Erfindung istes, die. Bürste rost- frei, insbesondere Metallfrei, auszugestalten, so das z.B. auch eine Reinigung in einer Waschmaschine und/oder Geschirrspüler möglich ist.Preferably, the brush is releasably connected to the drive unit so that the brush is replaceable. This has the advantage that the brush can be easily disposed of (Einmalbe ¬ use) and can be easily cleaned separately. Within the meaning of the invention, it is. Brush rust free, especially metal-free, to design, so that, for example, a cleaning in a washing machine and / or dishwasher is possible.

Auch bringt die Austauschbarkeit der Bürste den Vorteil, das je nach Anwendungsbereich Bürsten unterschiedlichen Borstenbesatzes/Noppenbesatzes und/oder unterschiedlicher Härte mit der selben Antriebseinheit verwendet werden können.Also, the interchangeability of the brush brings the advantage that can be used with the same drive unit depending on the application brushes different Bristle trim / Noppenbesatzes and / or different hardness.

Die Verbindung von Antriebseinheit und Bürste muss so gestaltet werden, das die Antriebskräfte (Rotation bzw. Oszillation) des Antriebes auf die Bürste übertragen wird. Vorteilhaft ist es wenn die Bürste mit der Antriebseinheit verrastet ist. Denkbar ist auch eine Verbindung die in Form eines Klettverschlusses ausgebildet ist.The connection between the drive unit and the brush must be designed so that the drive forces (rotation or oscillation) of the drive are transferred to the brush. It is advantageous if the brush is locked to the drive unit. It is also conceivable a compound which is designed in the form of a hook and loop fastener.

In den Figuren 1 bis 12 sind einige Bürstengeometrien schematisch wiedergegeben, die sich als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt haben. Diese Bespiele sollen sich jedoch nicht limitierend auf die Erfindung auswirken, sondern verdeutlichen, welchen Gestaltungsspielraum es gibt.In the figures 1 to 12 some brush geometries are shown schematically, which have been found to be particularly advantageous. However, these examples are not intended to limit the invention, but to clarify which scope for design exists.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Beispiel für eine Bürste, enthaltend eine Trägerplatte (1 ) von der sich eine Vielzahl von Borsten (2) gleicher Länge parallel zu einander in den freien Raum erstrecken. Die Borsten stehen in Büscheln (3) von der Trägerplatte (1 ) ab. Die einzelnen Borstenbüschel können ungeordnet oder in geometrischer Ordnung, wie in Figur 4 bis 6 gezeigt, angeordnet sein. Im Sinne der Erfindung ist es nicht nur Borsten einer Sorte zu verwenden, sondern Borsten unterschiedlicher Dimensionen und/oder Härte gemischt oder Borstenbüschel unterschiedlicher Dimensionen und/oder Härte gemischt auf der Trägerplatte anzuordnen.Figure 1 shows an example of a brush comprising a support plate (1) from which a plurality of bristles (2) of equal length extending parallel to each other in the free space. The bristles are in clusters (3) from the support plate (1). The individual bristle tufts can be arranged in a random or geometrical arrangement, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. For the purposes of the invention, it is not only to use bristles of one kind, but to mix bristles of different dimensions and / or hardness or to arrange bristle tufts of different dimensions and / or hardness mixed on the carrier plate.

Figur 2 zeigt ebenfalls schematisch eine Bürste wie sie für das erfinderische Verfahren geeignet ist. In diesem Beispiel sind nicht nur Borsten einer Länge wie in Figur 1 auf der Trägerplatte angeordnet, sondern die Borsten sind Abschnittsweise bzw. Büschelweise in kurze Borsten (2a) und lange Borsten (2b) aufgeteilt.Figure 2 also shows schematically a brush as it is suitable for the inventive method. In this example, not only bristles of a length as in Figure 1 are arranged on the support plate, but the bristles are divided into short bristles (2a) and long bristles (2b) in sections or tufts.

Die in Figur 3 gezeigte Bürste weist Borsten auf, die gegenüber der in Figur 2 gezeigten bürste auch Zwischenlängen aufweist. Bürsten mit kürzeren Borsten können durch Bearbeitung (z.B. beschneiden) von Bürsten erhalten werden, die Borsten nur einer Länge aufweisen.The brush shown in FIG. 3 has bristles which also have intermediate lengths with respect to the brush shown in FIG. Brushes with shorter bristles can be obtained by machining (e.g., trimming) brushes that have bristles of only one length.

In Figur 7 ist beispielhaft eine Bürste wiedergegeben, die nicht nur Borsten enthält, sondern auch dickere zylindrische oder kegelförmige Finger (5) aus einen verformbarem E- lastorfier aufweisen. Diese Finger sind im Allgemeinen dipker als die Borsten und wirken beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren leicht massierend auf die Applikationsstellen. Die Figuren 8 und 9 illustrieren besondere Ausgestaltungen einer gemischten, Borsten und Finger aufweisenden Bürste nach Figur 7.FIG. 7 shows, by way of example, a brush which not only contains bristles, but also has thicker cylindrical or conical fingers (5) made of a deformable elastomer spring. These fingers are generally more dipker than the bristles and act slightly massaging the application sites in the method according to the invention. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate particular embodiments of a blended bristle and finger brush of Figure 7.

Figur 10 zeigt ein Beispiel einer rein aus Fingern (Noppen) bestehenden Bürste, deren Noppen durch Zweikomponentenspritzguss in einem Zweiten Herstellungsschritt auf eine harte Trägerplatte aufgebracht wurden. Diese Art von Bürsten haben eine erhöhte Massagewirkung wodurch die applizierten Zubereitungen hervorragend in tiefere Hautschichten transportiert werden können. Die Figuren 11 und 12 illustrieren besondere Ausgestaltungen einer reinem Finger- bzw. Noppenbürste aus elastomerem Material.FIG. 10 shows an example of a brush made entirely of fingers (nubs) whose nubs have been applied to a hard carrier plate by two-component injection molding in a second production step. These types of brushes have an increased massaging effect whereby the applied preparations can be excellently transported into deeper skin layers. Figures 11 and 12 illustrate particular embodiments of a pure nub brush of elastomeric material.

Figur 13 zeigt schematisch den Aufbau einer Vorrichtung zur Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, aufweisend eine Bürste 10 und eine Antriebseinheit 11. Die Antriebseinheit setzt sich im hier dargestellten Fall aus einem Motor 12, einem Schalter 13 und einer Stromquelle 14 zusammen, wobei durch den Schalter 13 die Verbindung zwischen Motor und Stromquelle hergestellt bzw. unterbrochen werden kann. Als Stromquelle können zum Beispiel Batterie(n) oder Akkumulator(en) dienen. 13 schematically shows the structure of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention, comprising a brush 10 and a drive unit 11.
