Description

Multifunctional device for cosmetic/medical treatment of body parts
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a multifunctional equipment with effect ware component. In particular, it relates to devices having effector elements emitting waves of various types, devices for performing body treatments of the cosmetic and medical type. More particularly, this is a device whose effector member is of the cover plate type and is adapted to act on body parts that require treatment with various types of waves.
Background
The present invention therefore belongs to the field of devices for performing stimulation and conditioning actions on the tissues of the human body, mainly but not only for improving the appearance and function and sculpting the shape thereof, by means of various types of waves, in particular ultrasonic waves, laser radiation and high-frequency radio waves.
More particularly, the device according to the present invention is adapted for use in cosmetic and medical treatments with the aim of reducing, or, as the case may be, eliminating the presence of altered and undesired conditions, such as adipose tissue, water retention, swelling, cellulite and skin imperfections, such as "orange peel".
Often, two or more of the aforementioned altered conditions may be found in the same person at the same time.
Thus, in practice, the person will often undergo a number of cosmetic/medical type treatments to address these altered conditions equal to the number of cosmetic/medical problems. Thus, the person is currently treated even during separate segments using dedicated devices, each specific to the treatment of a different changed condition or to the type of wave emitted.
Thus, a major limitation of the devices currently available on the market is the fact that the same body part, area or region of a person has to undergo two or more treatments for separate changed conditions at different times. This causes problems such as longer treatment time, higher number of segments, increased cost, etc. Moreover, a beauty or medical treatment center that wishes to provide her customer with the full range of these treatments needs to purchase all of the specific equipment involved.
The device according to the invention and for the general cosmetic treatment is also effective for the treatment of disorders of the lymphatic system, in particular venous lymphedema of the lower extremities.
Venous lymphedema is an edema caused by an increase in pressure in the venule side of the capillaries due to the inability to reabsorb fluid, which is thus retained and accumulated in the tissue. Venular hypertension can be caused by blockage or compression of the venous axis, resulting in regurgitation due to valve incontinence or abnormal vascular development.
Subcutaneous edema, which is associated with muscle edema in acute cases or often separates into chronic edema, typically occurs at the ankle joint and may extend upward or also to the foot.
Currently, this disorder is treated primarily by means of manual lymphatic drainage, using bandaging (elastic compression) or using pressure therapy (pressotherapy).
However, the aforementioned prior art treatments have only perceptible results after several segments or interventions performed periodically or continuously. These treatments, in particular manual lymphatic drainage and pressure therapy (pressure), must also be performed by specialists.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which overcomes the problems of the prior art apparatuses for cosmetic treatment.
Primarily, the device according to the invention allows several treatments to be performed simultaneously on the same body part of the person to be treated, if this body area or zone needs to be treated with waves of different types mentioned hereinafter.
The device of the present invention thus provides the advantage that the person to be treated greatly reduces the time required for the treatment of a single body part having at least one of the aforementioned changed conditions for the benefit from the treatment using the wave types mentioned hereinafter, since said changed conditions are treated simultaneously using at least two and preferably three different types of waves, in order to ameliorate or eliminate such changed conditions.
Another advantage provided by the present invention is the fact that the simultaneous treatment of at least one changed condition using two or more different methods may result in a desired positive cosmetic/medical effect being achieved more quickly, and even better results than would be achieved by treatment at different times may be obtained. This may be due to increased adherence of the person under treatment to the treatment plan, and even in some cases, more timely treatment of the changed condition.
Moreover, with regard to centers for cosmetic and/or medical treatments, the device according to the present invention offers the advantage of increasing the efficiency of operation, in particular the structure of the center dedicated to these treatments, such as the use of workstations (e.g. beds, chairs, etc.). This also provides the advantage of being able to treat a larger number of people with the same number of central opening times and the same number of workstations.
Another advantage provided by the present invention is that it requires less manipulation to comply with hygiene standards, cleaning and disinfecting a portion of equipment that comes into contact with a person's body each time that the portion of equipment is positioned on the person's body. Obviously, the fewer this part of the device that is moved from one person to another, or likewise from one body part to another of the same person, the fewer cleaning and disinfecting operations that are required.
Another advantage of the present invention is to provide an economical and space-saving multifunctional device.
The predetermined objects and advantages attained are realized with a multifunction device provided with a series of applicator elements that emit radio frequency waves, ultrasonic waves and laser waves. The body part involved in these impacts exerts their effect on the different structures of this part.
Therefore, the utility model relates to a multifunctional device, include:
-a control unit, and
-at least one actor element connected to the control unit.
Advantageously, the applicator element may be fixedly applied to the body part of the person to be treated. In this way, continuous intervention by the operator for the entire duration of the treatment is not required, as occurs for handheld devices of the type using a handpiece.
Furthermore, by providing the apparatus with several actors, it is possible to treat a wide area of the body, for example the whole of one or both lower limbs, simultaneously.
According to the invention, the device also comprises at least two wave emitter devices selected from emitters of radio frequency waves, generators of ultrasonic waves and emitters of laser light. Preferably, the device comprises all of the aforementioned transmitter devices.
In more detail, the actor element houses (house) at least the following components:
-a transmitter of laser light;
two covers of a transmitter of radio frequency waves;
-an ultrasound transducer; and
-a printed circuit board.
The transmitters of radio frequency waves and ultrasound waves which feed the respective transducers in the applicator are instead preferably accommodated in the control unit.
According to the invention, the aforementioned transducers and emitters of waves may be individually activated or simultaneously activated for at least two or all.
The device according to the present invention can thus exploit the synergistic effect of at least two or more of the aforementioned waves emitted simultaneously and transmitted through the subcutaneous layer of the body part to be treated. Tests carried out by the applicant in fact show that the device according to the present invention has proved particularly effective for the general cosmetic treatment, in particular the reduction of cellulite, of local fat and for increasing the muscular tension, and for the treatment of disorders such as venous lymphedema, when used with simultaneous activation of all the actuators and emitters.
In all these cases, the person treated with the device of the present invention has shown significant benefits of using a significantly smaller number of treatments than those required with the prior art devices and methods, or in some cases, not even obtainable with the aforementioned prior art devices and methods.
The actor element has a face from which propagates at least two transmitted waves of the assembly selected from the group consisting of the transmitter and the transducer.
The face of the effector member from which the waves emitted by the aforementioned assembly propagate is the face in contact with the surface of the body part of the patient to be treated and this face is hereinafter referred to as the contact face.
In particular, the actor element is a body, for example polyhedral or the like, at least partially hollow. The faces of the polyhedron may be flat or curved. The aforementioned components are housed inside the body.
Rather, the emitter of the laser is functionally connected and, optionally, fixed to the printed circuit board.
Furthermore, the transducer and the ultrasound transmitter, which are separate from each other, are functionally connected and, optionally, fixed to a printed circuit board.
Preferably, the light emitter has a face opposite to a face facing the printed circuit board from which the laser light is emitted.
On a printed circuit board, two or more emitters are typically arranged side-by-side or concentric with respect to each other.
In the device of the invention, the emitter device of radio frequency waves, if present, preferably comprises at least two or more entities acting as poles, such as plates, heads, etc., at least one of which is positive. These entities are inserted into the body of the affector element, but each has a portion that is external to the affector element and flush with the contact surface.
In the apparatus of the present invention, the ultrasonic transducer, if present, is inserted into the body of the effector element, but has a portion that is external to the effector element and flush with the contact surface.
If present, the emitters of laser light, preferably more than one in number, are inserted into the applicator element, but are recessed relative to the contact surface.
Preferably, the contact surface of the actuator element is at least partially formed by a cover plate. The cover plate is typically flat or, alternatively, has a slightly concave outer portion. Furthermore, the cover plate has at least one through hole or opening at the ultrasound transmitter, or two through holes or openings at each of the plates.
As mentioned above, the body and the transducer, if present, have portions that are flush with the contact face, i.e. with the cover plate. In fact, once the effector member is in use, the entity and transducer are in direct contact with the surface of the body part of the patient to be treated.
According to a first preferred embodiment, the cover plate is made of a transparent material or a material that allows the emitted laser light to pass through, if an emitter of laser light is present. Thus, in this embodiment, the emitter of the laser is positioned between the printed circuit board and the cover plate.
In an alternative embodiment, the cover plate is opaque and has through holes or openings present at the emitter of the laser light in order to allow the light waves to propagate outside the contact face.
According to an embodiment, the number of through holes present on the cover plate is the same as the number of emitters of the aforementioned laser light present inside the actor element. Each hole has an appropriate span and is therefore positioned at each emitter from which the laser light is emitted.
However, and according to different embodiments, the through holes of the cover plate may also be less in number with respect to the overall number of emitters of laser light. In fact, the emitting sides of two or more emitters may face a single aperture, for example if the emitters are arranged side by side or concentrically with respect to each other.
In the actuator element, the printed circuit board is positioned parallel to the cover plate or parallel to the base plate. According to a preferred variant, the device of the invention comprises all three of the aforementioned transmitter devices, i.e. transmitters of radio frequency waves, ultrasound and laser.
More precisely, in the actor element according to the invention, the emitters are two or more, at least one for each type of wave emitted.
According to a specific example of the present invention, the device comprises an ultrasonic transducer. It is typically a piezoelectric transducer.
According to this variant, the device comprises a transmitter of radio frequency energy having two poles, typically spaced apart according to the prior art. The energy is generated by a dedicated printed circuit board.
If an emitter device of laser light is present in the device according to the invention, the affector element houses at least one emitter of laser light, preferably at least ten, more preferably more than thirty emitters of laser light.
Hereinafter, the emitter of the device laser is also referred to as laser light L ED.
Naturally, the number of emitters or transducers of each type is variable at will according to requirements.
The positioning of the transmitter and transducer relative to the printed circuit board, particularly its face facing the contact face, is not binding. This positioning depends mainly on the number and size of the emitters and transducers.
According to another variant, the actor element may comprise a further pair of electrodes. The electrodes are fed by respective emitters/delivery devices located in the control unit.
According to the present invention, the electrodes may be configured to emit different types of current for different purposes/treatments. For example, the electrodes may emit:
-direct current for ionophoretic therapy or for delivering cosmetic or pharmaceutical products through the epidermis/dermis layers;
-direct current for exfoliating treatment to clean the skin;
-alternating current for muscle stimulation therapy;
-alternating current for electroporation therapy and/or for deep delivery of cosmetic or pharmaceutical products;
-a micro-alternating current for stimulation of the treatment of the epidermal surface;
heat for local heating therapy.
The electrodes may be activated individually, or in combination with one or more of the aforementioned transducers or transmitters.
According to a variant of the invention, the body is constituted by a frame having side walls, by said cover plate and by a wall opposite to said cover plate.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, the effector member is of a static type, i.e. remains stationary on the body part to be treated.
The static-type effector member also includes retention means. These devices are adapted to retain the applicator on the body part to be treated.
For this purpose, these devices are designed to surround the body part in question. In this case, these means are for example in the form of bands, rings, strips or the like and are made of a suitable material, which may be natural, synthetic or artificial, such as cotton or plastic fibres.
The upper part of the actor element is preferably in the form of or provided with gripping means or at least one through slot or slit. These portions allow the retaining means to be confined to the body of the effector member if desired in addition to the grip of the object.
According to another variant, the body is elongated in a main direction of extension and has a size and shape suitable for being grasped with one hand and held to perform a treatment on the body of the person.
The device according to the invention may also comprise more than one effector element. The number of these actor elements is not binding; typically, there are at least two or more, for example two to ten.
The actor element and the control unit are preferably connected to each other via a cable.
The control unit is constituted by a body having a shape without binding. This body has a suitable shape and volume to accommodate the various components. Typically, the body is polyhedral in shape with walls that are flat or curved or both.
In particular, with reference to the aforementioned devices, the control unit houses electronic components capable of transforming, modulating or driving a mains current (mains current) to supply the components of the actor elements.
Furthermore, the exterior of the control unit has at least one position for positioning the effector member when not in use. Depending on the design of the control unit, these locations may have different forms, such as a support extending from the body of the control unit or a niche in the body of the control unit. The number of these positions is generally a function of the number of effector elements supplied by the apparatus according to the invention.
Furthermore, the device according to the invention is preferably provided with a display screen, which may be touch-sensitive. Preferably, this screen is located in the control unit, typically in the upper part of the main body. However, according to another embodiment, each actor element may be provided with a display screen.
The device according to the invention, in particular the control unit, is also provided with software, in particular application software. The main task of the application software is to set up the operation of the device. In fact, the application software comprises one or more programs preset, wherein all or only some of the conditions may be freely selected by the user or operator of the device, or preferably both types of programs.
In particular, the user or operator may choose to set at least one of the following conditions, for example, in the free program: how many and which devices are to be operated (i.e., excluding operation of at least one device), their sequence of operation (simultaneous or consecutive), the duration of their operation, which waves are to be transmitted, the power of the transmitted waves, etc.
Although the device according to the invention is provided with at least two of the aforementioned transmitter devices, it is clear that this device can also be provided to operate only one or two of the devices present, thereby freely selecting the operation excluding any other devices present. For this reason, the device according to the invention is also adapted to be used to perform one or a set of two different treatments at a time, as required, instead of all together inevitably.
According to a possible variant, the actor element may comprise at least (a) a device capable of transforming, modulating or driving the mains current, or also (b) a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and optionally (c) a display device.
From the above, it is clear that the device according to the invention is powered by electricity, which allows the aforementioned transmitter device, software and optionally the display screen, and any other electrical or electronic components present to operate. More particularly, the power, typically provided by mains current, is supplied to the control unit and, either directly or indirectly, also to the actor element.
The emitter devices that can be used in the device of the invention are substantially the same as those used in prior art devices for the same purpose, i.e. cosmetic/medical treatment. Therefore, since these apparatuses are well known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail.
The aforementioned device is able to transform or modulate the electric power supplied to the device according to the invention into sound, radio frequency and light waves having the wavelengths and powers typically used in the aforementioned treatments.
The invention also relates to an actor element as described previously.
As specified above, the device according to the invention may be equipped with a device selected from the following:

Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, numeral 1 indicates a multifunction device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, numeral 2 indicates a control unit, and numeral 3 indicates a actor element.
The device 1 comprises a control element 2 and an actor element 3, eight in the example in the figure.
As illustrated in fig. 3, each actor element 3 comprises a hollow body made up of a frame 4, a cover plate 5 forming a wall of the body, and a wall 6 located on the opposite side to the cover plate 5. The frame 4 is thus supported on one side on the wall 6 and on the other side on the cover 5.
The body of the actor elements houses at least the printed circuit board 7 and the laser L ED131, the transducer 121 and the plates 111a, 111b serving as poles of the emitter/delivery device of radio frequency waves.
In detail, the printed circuit board 7 is positioned parallel to the cover plate 5. The emitter and the transducer are connected and also fixed to the printed circuit board 7, more precisely to the side thereof facing the cover plate 5.
More particularly, further components of the actor elements are a single ultrasound transducer 121, two plates 111a, 111b of a transmitter device of radio frequency waves, and forty-eight laser lights L ED 131.
The ultrasonic transducer 121 is positioned in the center of the printed circuit board 7.
The two plates 111a, 111b are spaced from each other and arranged on either side of the transducer 121.
The plates 111a, 111b and the transducers have their outer portions flush with the cover plate 5.
Forty-four laser lights L ED131 are located along the entire perimeter of the printed circuit board 7 another four laser lights L ED131 are located near the ultrasonic transducer, one at the height of each end of the boards 111a, 111 b.
The cover plate 5 is made of an opaque material and therefore has the same number of holes as the ultrasonic transducer 121, the plates 111a, 111b and the laser L ED.
According to a variant not illustrated, the cover plate 5 is made of a material that is transparent or at least partially transparent at the laser L ED 131.
Preferably, the cover plate 5 has the same shape as the printed circuit board 7. In the examples of fig. 3 and 8, the cover plate is substantially rectangular and circular in shape, respectively.
The various parts of the device are fixed and connected to each other according to known methods and means, such as interlocking inserts, screws, etc.
According to the embodiment illustrated in fig. 6 and fig. 7a, 7b, the actor element 3 has a slot 9 on the outer side of each long side of the wall 6. The two slots allow the passage of the fiber strands 11 to secure the applicator element to the body part to be treated.
As illustrated in fig. 1, the control unit 2 is constituted by a body in the shape of a polyhedron having a volume suitable for housing electronic components adapted to supply emitters and/or transducers, in particular to transform and/or modulate the mains current in order to generate with the aforementioned device specific waves necessary for treating the human body. Typically, the control unit 2 includes a CPU that controls all operations requested by dedicated application software. Furthermore, the control unit 2 comprises a display screen 21 and a connection to the mains current, and also a frequency and power generator which supplies the devices in the actor elements.
Eight supports (not indicated in the drawings) extend from the body to receive the effector member therein.
Figures 7a and 7b illustrate two further embodiments in the form of bodies of the effector member.
In these embodiments, the actor element may be fixed to the person's body part, for example by means of a strap 11 or the like, but may also be grasped and held on or moved over the person's body part, if necessary.
Figures 8a and 8b show an actor element 3 according to another possible embodiment.
According to this embodiment, the actor element is mobile, i.e. adapted to be grasped by an operator or user and held on or moved over the body of the person to be treated. The effector member includes an elongated body having a shape and size such as to be grasped using one hand. A head 12 in which the transmitter and/or transducer is housed is fixed to one end of the body. Optionally, the head 12 also houses the printed circuit board 7.
In the example of the figure, the actor elements comprise at least two plates 111a, 111b, an ultrasound transducer 121 and 10 to 30 lasers L ED 131.
The head 12 preferably has a circular shape. The plates 111a, 111b and the ultrasonic transducer 121 are preferably arranged concentrically with respect to each other. As illustrated in fig. 8a, 8b, one (outer) of the two plates 111a, 111b is arranged at the periphery of the head 12, while the other (inner) is close to the ultrasonic transducer 121.
The laser light L ED is aligned along an annular line between the outer and inner plates in the head 12 the contact face 8 of the head is preferably provided with a cover plate (not illustrated in the figures) covering L ED 131.
The present invention has been described according to some preferred embodiments, purely for purposes of illustration and not limitation. Modifications or variations may therefore be made by those skilled in the art, and all such modifications and variations are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
