Abstract
The apparatus to administer a skin care composition includes a housing, a suction tip to engage the skin, a control module, a suction pump connected to a motor, a vibrator, and a power supply. The suction tip is placed on the skin with the skin care composition. The suction pump is activated to form an area of negative pressure. The vibrator generates vibrations to the area of negative pressure to further increase absorption of the skin care composition into the skin. The method of administering with the apparatus includes forming the area of negative pressure with the suction tip, and pulsing suction and suction with vibration. The control module regulates suction and vibration to maintain the area of negative pressure through personalized settings of intensity. The vibration is controlled to maintain the seal of the suction tip on the surface of skin.
