The invention relates to medical technology, specifically to devices for local massage of the skin, especially facial skin. The purpose of the invention is to improve the effectiveness of the massage while making the device more ergonomic. The device comprises identical massaging heads (1, 2), each of which consists of the following: heating elements which are in contact with a thermal contact plate (8); a heat dissipation system (9) designed, for example, in the form of an air radiator; a housing (10) with a convex spherical surface (11) and a holder made up of the plates (12, 13) with an aperture (14) whose wall has a spherical concave surface, the aperture forming an articulated joint with the surface (11) and thereby ensuring close contact throughout the massage session between the thermal contact plate (8) and the area being massaged. The device is provided with an automatic contrasting thermocycling unit consisting of a voltage stabilizer (34) and a pulse generator (35) connected in series, the switching component (33) being connected between the direct current source (32) and the heating elements in the massaging heads (1, 2). During the massage, the thermal contact plate (8) in contact with the massaged area is periodically cooled and heated by changing the direction of current passing through the heating elements. The clamp units are designed preferably in the form of a headpiece consisting of arched spring units (22, 23) whose end sections fit into slots (20) in the holder, thereby allowing the massaging heads (1, 2) to be moved along the clamp units.

L'invention concerne la technologie médicale, spécifiquement des dispositifs de massage local de la peau, notamment de la peau facial. L'objectif de l'invention est d'améliorer l'efficacité du massage tout en rendant le dispositif plus ergonomique. Ledit dispositif comprend des têtes de massage identiques (1, 2) comprenant chacune: des éléments chauffants en contact avec une plaque de contact thermique (8), un système de dissipation thermique (9) conçu, par exemple, sous la forme d'un radiateur à air, un logement (10) présentant une surface convexe sphérique (11) ainsi qu'un support constitué de deux plaques (12, 13) présentant une ouverture (14), dont la paroi présente une surface sphérique concave, l'ouverture formant un joint articulé avec la surface (11) et assurant ainsi un contact étroit, tout au long du massage, entre la plaque de contact thermique (8) et la zone massée. Le dispositif est doté d'une unité de mise en thermocycle à contraste automatique comprenant un stabilisateur (34) de tension ainsi qu'un générateur (35) d'impulsions connectés en série, le composant de commutation (33) étant connecté entre la source (32) de courant continu et les éléments chauffants des têtes de massage (1, 2). Pendant le massage, la plaque de contact thermique (8) en contact avec la zone massée est refroidie et échauffée par changement de la direction du courant passant dans les éléments chauffants. Les unités de serrage sont conçues de préférence sous la forme d'un casque comprenant des unités (22, 23) à ressort arcqué dont les parties terminales s'adaptent dans des fentes (20) situées dans le support, permettant ainsi le déplacement des têtes de massage (1, 2) le long des unités de serrage.
