<p>Methods and apparatus (10) for abrading, cleaning, massaging, buffing or otherwise treating the skin, fingernails, toenails or other body surfaces. The basic apparatus (10) comprising a small motor (24) mounted within a hand held housing and a cylindrical member (14) rotatably mounted on the housing (12). The cylindrical member (14) is rotatably driven by the motor (24) and is covered with treatment-effecting covering such as abrasive material, cloth, brush bristles, adhesive, massaging projections, etc. The cylindrical member (14) may be placed in contact with the skin, nails or other body surface while rotating, thereby abrading, cleaning, massaging, buffing or otherwise treating the skin, nails or other body surface. In a more advanced embodiment, the device (10) may incorporate a suction apparatus (50) for suctioning away severed particles of skin or other matter. In either embodiment, the device (10) may incorporate a means (28, 35) for causing the rotation of the cylinder (14) to stop when a predetermined maximum pressure is applied by the cylinder (14) on the underlying body surface, thereby avoiding excessive abrasion or injury to the skin or other body surface being treated.</p> |
