Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0476498A1] In a suction device 2 for cleansing the skin 6, having a suction head 4 with a plurality of apertures 4a, the apertures are covered by a resilient membrane 3 which is drawn, by a pulsing drive force 12, into the apertures 4a, in such a manner that the membrane 3 in contact with the skin 6 forms a plurality of pulsing secondary vacuum pumps 5. As a result, the vacuum action on the skin 6 is broken down into short, variable suction pulses, and the covering resilient membrane 3 offers an easily exchangeable disposable hygienic protection. <IMAGE>
