PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light irradiation type beauty device in which the state of a power supply switch is easily recognized by an operation and an erroneous operation hardly occurs.SOLUTION: The light irradiation type beauty device prevents the hair on a living body surface 9 from being fostered by irradiating the living body surface 9 with light emitted from a light source. The beauty device includes: a light irradiation section 4 for irradiating the living body surface 9 with light a light irradiation switch 54 for causing the light irradiation section 4 to perform irradiation of light and a power source switch 78 for switching between the irradiatable state of enabling light irradiation by the light irradiation switch 54 and the nonirradiatable state of precluding the light irradiation by the light irradiation switch 54. The time required for switching from the nonirradiatable state to the irradiatable state is different from the time required for switching from the irradiatable state to the nonirradiatable state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】電源スイッチの状態が操作により把握し易く、また誤操作を起こしにくい光照射型美容装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、光源から発せられる光を生体表面9に照射することで、この生体表面9の毛を抑毛する光照射型美容装置である。生体表面9に光を照射する光照射部4と、前記光照射部4から光を照射させる光照射スイッチ54と、前記光照射スイッチ54による光照射を可能とする照射可能状態と前記光照射スイッチ54による光照射を不能とする照射不可状態とを切り換える電源スイッチ78とを備える。照射不可状態から照射可能状態へと切り換えるための時間と、照射可能状態から照射不可状態へと切り換えるための時間とが異なるものである。【選択図】図1
