Abstract
Abstract A facial vibratable mask device constructed to cover and contact side facial areas and chin areas with a smooth, soft, resilient, foamlike material within which is fully embedded vibratable means for imparting vibrations to such facial areas through the soft material. Means for holding the mask device in covering relation to a face to be treated includes a strap passing behind the neck and provided with a vibratable unit for vibrating back neck portions. A vibratable mask device which is resistant to oils, facial cream, nonallergic, nontoxic, resistance to heat, and is a nonconductor of electricity.
