The charging management circuit is electrically connected with the battery protection circuit. The MCU main control circuit is respectively electrically connected to the battery protection circuit, the constant voltage control circuit and the beauty lamp control circuit. The lamp control circuit is electrically connected to the beauty lamp circuit. The battery protection circuits respectively electrically connected to the constant voltage control circuit and the beauty lamp control circuit.
The above design stabilizes the output to a certain extent, but it still has at least the following defects: First, during the process of blackhead removing, it is impossible to observe the surface of the skin, affecting the blackhead removal effect. Second, it is impossible to observe the distribution and size of blackheads and acne in the inner layer of the skin. Third, it is impossible to compare the number of blackheads and acne before and after suction.
The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view.
