Description

Laser fat dissolving system with coupled laser fat dissolving, skin surface temperature measurement and spray cooling
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of laser biomedical engineering medical instruments, in particular to an accurate intelligent noninvasive fat dissolving device combining laser fat dissolving of a treatment area, skin surface temperature measurement and spray cooling in a laser fat dissolving process.
Background
Laser liposolution is a fat reduction method in which fat cells are ablated by photothermal action or light modulation action of laser light by applying laser energy to the fat cells. The existing noninvasive external laser liposolution generally has two wavelength ranges, namely, a laser beam with the wavelength of 630-680 nm is adopted to directly irradiate local skin, and the laser beam penetrates through the complete skin to act on adipose tissues so as to melt fat cells. The treatment is usually carried out by irradiating the powder for about 30 minutes with 10-17 mW laser energy, and the girth of the waist, the hip and the like can be reduced by about 8-9 cm after multiple treatments. The other method is to directly irradiate local skin with laser with 1060nm wavelength to perform ultrahigh-temperature fat dissolving, the skin is cooled in a contact manner by a sapphire window, the treatment time is 25 minutes in total, and the fat content can be reduced by 24% when the abdominal region is treated.
Although the clinical efficacy of external laser liposolysis is remarkable, a plurality of problems still remain to be solved in the liposolysis mode.
The laser fat dissolving with the wavelength of 630-680 nm has the following problems:
1. the simple laser liposolfaction treatment method is only suitable for some parts with thin fat, such as the face, neck, upper arm, waist and the like, and cannot be used for treating the whole body or parts with thick fat alone. Treatment of thicker areas of fat requires higher laser energy, which can cause skin burns.
2. The operation level requirement of doctors is high, the operation cost is high, the operation action time is long, and the operation frequency is high.
3. The laser dosage mainly depends on clinical data and doctor experience, and the quantitative research on the relationship between the laser dosage and the fat amount is less.
4. The laser liposolution operation may cause complications such as skin burn, and the measurement of the skin surface temperature is mostly judged by touching the skin surface with hands of a doctor, so that misjudgment is easy, and the requirement on the doctor is high.
Laser liposolution at 1060nm wavelength has the following problems:
1. ideal candidate patients are non-obese patients with a body mass index of no more than 30, eliminating recalcitrant fat that is ineffective for diet and exercise. It cannot be used alone for treatment of the whole body area or the part with thick fat, and the treatment of the part with thick fat requires higher laser energy.
2. Fat and water in adipose tissue both absorb laser light with a wavelength of 1060nm, which is not favorable for absorption of laser energy by fat.
Aiming at the problems of the external laser liposolution, a device which can improve the treatment effect, increase the treatment volume, reduce the treatment times and the treatment time, protect skin tissues from being burnt in the treatment process, monitor the surface temperature of the skin in real time and control liposolution parameters is needed to achieve a better laser liposolution effect.
The principle of 1210nm noninvasive external laser fat dissolving is a selective photothermal effect. The fat layer of human skin mainly contains 80% of fatty acid and 18% of water, and experimental research shows that under the action of 1210nm laser, the absorption of the 1210nm wavelength laser by fat is higher than that of water, so that the 1210nm wavelength laser can realize selective photothermal effect absorption of fat, and the fat dissolving effect is good. The laser energy is converted into heat energy, fat cells are selectively heated to 50-65 ℃, so that the fat cells are damaged, broken fat cell fragments are phagocytized by macrophages and metabolized by blood lymph, the number of the fat cells is reduced, and the effect of losing weight and shaping is achieved.
However, normal skin tissue (e.g., epidermis and dermis) also absorbs 1210nm wavelength laser light, which if too high of a laser energy, results in irreversible thermal damage to normal epidermal and dermal tissue. Therefore, in laser liposuction, not only is it important to reach the liposolution temperature of the adipose layer, but also the spatially selective cold protection of the epidermis and dermis. At present, the 1060nm external laser grease dissolution adopts sapphire contact cooling, and the use of laser energy is limited due to low cooling efficiency.
The refrigerant transient spray cooling is a high-efficiency cooling mode which sprays refrigerant on the surface of the skin for a certain time and couples various heat transfer modes of forced convection, boiling phase change and surface evaporation, can realize dynamic cooling of the epidermis, is better applied to clinical operations of laser treatment of vascular skin diseases (such as wine stains), can reduce the thermal damage of the laser to the epidermis and improve the cure rate of patients. However, millisecond-level continuous spraying is adopted for treating wine stains by laser at present, the continuous spraying time is too short, the cooling capacity in the depth direction is insufficient, and the skin is frostbitten due to too long continuous spraying time. There is therefore a need to explore more efficient ways of applying high heat flux density spray cooling.
The infrared thermal imager uses an infrared detector and an optical imaging objective to receive an infrared radiation energy distribution pattern of a detected target and reflects the infrared radiation energy distribution pattern on a photosensitive element of the infrared detector so as to obtain an infrared thermal image, the thermal image corresponds to a thermal distribution field on the surface of an object, and different colors on the thermal image represent different temperatures of the detected object.
