Powerful handheld facial appliances use two or more methods for improving the complexion. China suppliers of beauty equipment are releasing compact units that have numerous features. Makers combine simple cleansing and massaging with more sophisticated operations such as wrinkle removal and facial slimming. To provide several benefits, recent designs utilize more than one technology. For example, a home desktop model from Shenzhen Xinghongchang Electronic Co. Ltd can perform both sonophoresis and phototherapy. The first process employs ultrasonic waves to help the cells absorb nutrients from skin care products. Photons are emitted to reduce spots, wrinkles and sagging. The manufacturer also offers handheld models with electroporation, IR and massage modes. Anions generated through the first disinfect, while positively charged particles deliver nourishment deep into the dermis. IR enhances skin metabolism. Other devices come in the form of a mask connected to a small controller. Electric pulses boost circulation and slim down the face. The same configuration is adopted for units targeting the under-eye area, but only a vibrating massage is used to revitalize the tone. Facial steamers are being upgraded with the addition of an inhaler that directs vapor to the nasal passages. The latest releases not only heat up quickly but also shut off automatically after 20min of operation. A few simple designs, however, are being developed. One recent innovation is an electric atomizer that can convert up to 4mL of purified water or beauty cream into a nanoscale mist through oscillation. Once the substance is converted to 0.25 to 0.5ยต particles, moisture is easily absorbed by the skin. Because the product is intended to be portable, it is powered by four AAA batteries and made to resemble a mobile phone or USB flash drive. Housings are rendered in attractive colors such as pink and mocha with a satin finish. Some suppliers even decorate the surface with hot-fix rhinestones. Prices of beauty equipment from China start at $5 and can exceed $40 depending on the functions, materials and input voltage. The least expensive versions generally have a single feature such as misting or steaming. Parts such as acrylic and ABS housings, motors, switches and LCDs are often sourced locally to keep costs in check. Imported variants can be 30 to 300 percent more expensive. For example, per-ton rates of US-made acrylic are $1,250 to $1,550 higher than domestic plastic of the same grade. Units that run on batteries generally have lower quotes than those with a power cord. In the past six months, prices increased 5 to 15 percent as material outlay rose as much as 40 percent. For the coming half-year, growing labor expenditure and the yuan appreciation may necessitate further augmentations of up to 10 percent.
