Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This product is the industry's first home-use medical skincare instrument, which, compared to professional instruments used in beauty salons, has reduced its volume by 80% without compromising its functionality. This reduction in size not only saves valuable space for users but also provides greater flexibility. Its unique handle design not only conforms to ergonomics but also considers comfortable grip and anti-slip design, making operation effortless.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by fashionable leather products, combining beauty products with leather is a unique concept in the beauty industry. This approach not only elevates the quality of beauty products but also allows them to seamlessly integrate into home environments. Through this innovative design, it opens up the possibility for professional beauty salon products to be used at home, enabling users to enjoy a high-end beauty experience in the comfort of their own homes.
- Research
- This product is the industry's first home-use medical skincare instrument, which, compared to professional instruments used in beauty salons, has reduced its volume by 80% without compromising its functionality. This reduction in size not only saves valuable space for users but also provides greater flexibility. Its unique handle design not only conforms to ergonomics but also considers comfortable grip and anti-slip design, making operation effortless. The power switch located on the side of the handle perfectly fits users' habits, greatly reducing operation time.
- Challenge
- The silicone material used on the surface offers six significant advantages: skin-friendly, no irritating odor, resistance to sweat and hydrolysis, easy cleaning, light resistance, and non-yellowing. Traditional synthetic leathers typically using coating materials such as PVC, PU, TPU, and acrylic resins, which are carbon-based and require solvents for dissolution, will cause water pollution and carbon emissions. In contrast, silicone materials completely eliminate carbon-based dependency, achieving a 99% reduction in wastewater and exhaust emissions and a 30% reduction in energy consumption. This truly realizes environment-friendly, sustainable, and pollution-free production.
- Realization and Technology
- On the skin contact surface, we use embedded sapphire to quickly lower the temperature, providing users with absolute safety assurance. The skin sensors on both sides further enhance safety by immediately halting energy emission when the instrument is lifted off the skin. The heat dissipation holes on both sides of the handle ingeniously assist in cooling, significantly reducing cooling time and ensuring continuous stable operation of the instrument. During use, thoughtful voice prompts provide users with comprehensive guidance, reducing operational time and ensuring correct product usage.
- Operation and Interaction
- The product features multiple mode designs to meet various skin needs, allowing users' skin to radiate with beauty in comfort. Icon Mode - rapidly emits multiple pulses, suitable for daily tender skin care, allowing users' skin to regain youthfulness in a short time. M1 mode - balances three consecutive high-density energy pulses, each pulse precisely targets the deep layers of the skin, activating cellular vitality and restoring skin firmness and elasticity. M2 Mode - Gradually increasing three consecutive high-density energy pulses penetrate deeply into the skin's layers, promoting collagen regeneration, smoothing fine lines, and revitalizing the skin's natural radiance.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in May 2023 in Shanghai and finished in June 2024 in Shanghai.
