PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a beauty appliance which effectively exerts maximum beauty effect toward the skin by irradiating the skin with a suitable combination of light beams that correspond to wavelength regions confirmed to have beauty effect on the basis of knowledge regarding beauty effect of visible light of predetermined wavelengths on the skin.SOLUTION: The invention relates to irradiating the skin with visible light. When the skin is irradiated with visible light of a red region or yellow region, cells of the skin is activated. On the basis of such knowledge, the beauty appliance exerts excellent beauty effect on the skin by effectively activating the skin using red or yellow visible light from each irradiation part while maintaining the optimum intensity and enhancing visibility of the visible light.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】 所定波長の可視光の肌への美容効果に関する知見に基づいて、美容効果が確認された波長域に対応する光を適切に組合わせて照射し、肌に対し最大限の美容効果を効率よく発揮させられる美容装置を提供する。【解決手段】 皮膚への可視光の照射について、本出願人が赤色域や黄色域の可視光を皮膚に照射すると、皮膚の細胞を活性化する事象を知見したことに基づいて、各照射部から赤色や黄色の可視光をそれぞれ最適な強度を維持しつつ視認性を高めて皮膚を効率よく活性化して大きな美容効果を与えられる。【選択図】 図１
