ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a skin cooling device which utilizes the sensory ability of the skin as an integumentary sense organ so that it is applicable to medical treatments and surgical operations, while being configured to use the heat absorbing effect of a thermoelectric element while having a small size to be easily handled. The skin cooling device includes a case having a size allowing the user to grasp the case by the hand, and a thermoelectric element installed in the case. The thermoelectric element has a heat emitting portion and a heat absorbing portion. The skin cooling device also includes a heat sink unit provided at the heat emitting portion of the thermoelectric element, and cold heat transfer unit provided at the heat absorbing portion of the thermoelectric element, and adapted to locally transfer cold heat from the thermoelectric element to the skin. Thus, the cold heat can be locally applied to the skin.
