Device for irradiating skin diseases or imperfections

The invention relates to a device for irradiating skin diseases or impurities with UV radiation.

The device is intended to be used for the medical-cosmetic treatment of human skin.

The previous treatment of such skin diseases or skin impurities is done using standard, ° oi ^ often emit IR radiation in addition to UV radiation and the irradiate the entire surface of the skin (e.g. the face). However, if there are only one or two skin pustules, the entire skin surface is inevitably exposed to radiation exposed, although healthy skin does not need radiation. Too frequent irradiation of healthy skin causes inflammation the skin, dehydration and premature aging of the skin as a result. However, the drying effect is desirable for skin pustules.

The invention is based on the object of targeting the diseased skin areas in a targeted manner. treat without reddening of the healthy skin .. This object is achieved ^{according to the invention in that a UV-1} point emitter is to be used. Compared to the sunsets, it is a small, handy, rod-shaped device that contains a small UV radiator, but is closed off from the outside by a housing. The UV radiation (with the lowest possible IR component) should go in one direction emit through a tube of round, oval or angular cross-section. The tube is open at the end. "The opening is placed directly on the pustule, see. The material of the tube can be metallic or non-metallic. In order to be able to adapt such a UV point emitter to different sensitive skin types, according to a further embodiment of the invention a displaceable or telescopically extendable one is

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are in particular | in that only the diseased skin areas (pustules) | be irradiated and thus the healthy skin is spared. s

Whole irradiation makes the skin redden (inflamed),
dries out, possibly burns.
However, the dehydration effect will help heal the pustules
