Descrizione del Brevetto per Invenzione Industriale avente per titolo: "APPARECCHIATURA PER LA RIMOZIONE DI TATUAGGI" Description of the Patent for Industrial Invention entitled: "EQUIPMENT FOR REMOVING TATTOOS"
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato ha come oggetto un’apparecchiatura per la rimozione di tatuaggi. The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing tattoos.
Come è noto, il problema della rimozione dei tatuaggi è da tempo molto sentito. As is known, the problem of tattoo removal has long been felt.
Non esiste un trattamento del tatuaggio universalmente accettato e non sono noti trattamenti per la rimozione dei tatuaggi che siano efficaci e senza indesiderabili effetti collaterali. There is no universally accepted tattoo treatment and there are no known tattoo removal treatments that are effective and without undesirable side effects.
La fototerapia laser (fototermolisi) è forse il miglior regime terapeutico finora disponibile per schiarire e rimuovere i tatuaggi. Laser phototherapy (photothermolysis) is perhaps the best treatment regimen available to date for lightening and removing tattoos.
Compito del presente trovato è quello di realizzare un’apparecchiatura che permetta di ottenere una completa rimozione di un tatuaggio. The aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that allows to obtain a complete removal of a tattoo.
Nell’ambito di questo compito, uno scopo del trovato è quello di realizzare un’apparecchiatura che permetta di rimuovere efficacemente tutti i tatuaggi disegnati con pigmenti attualmente sul mercato, su base acquosa o alcoolica. Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that allows to effectively remove all tattoos drawn with pigments currently on the market, on a water or alcohol basis.
Un ulteriore scopo del presente trovato è di fornire un’apparecchiatura che, per le sue peculiari caratteristiche realizzative, sia in grado di assicurare le più ampie garanzie di affidabilità e di sicurezza nell'uso. A further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which, due to its particular constructional characteristics, is able to ensure the widest guarantees of reliability and safety in use.
Questo ed altri scopi, che meglio appariranno evidenziati in seguito, sono raggiunti da un’apparecchiatura per la rimozione di tatuaggi, caratterizzata dal fatto di comprendere un manipolo alimentato da un’unità di controllo; detto manipolo presentando una superficie operativa atta ad essere avvicinata e/o messa in contatto con l’epidermide in corrispondenza di un tatuaggio; detta superficie operativa presentando almeno un trasmettitore di ultrasuoni, almeno un trasduttore di microonde ed almeno un trasmettitore di luce. This and other purposes, which will be better highlighted later, are achieved by an equipment for removing tattoos, characterized by the fact that it includes a handpiece powered by a control unit; said handpiece presenting an operating surface suitable for being approached and / or put in contact with the epidermis in correspondence with a tattoo; said operating surface having at least one ultrasound transmitter, at least one microwave transducer and at least one light transmitter.
Ulteriori caratteristiche e vantaggi dell'oggetto del presente trovato risulteranno maggiormente evidenziati attraverso un esame della descrizione di una forma di realizzazione preferita, ma non esclusiva, del trovato, illustrata a titolo indicativo e non limitativo nei disegni allegati, in cui: Further characteristics and advantages of the object of the present invention will become more evident through an examination of the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the attached drawings, in which:
la figura 1 è una vista prospettica la quale illustra il manipolo dell’apparecchiatura oggetto del presente trovato; Figure 1 is a perspective view which illustrates the handpiece of the apparatus object of the present invention;
la figura 2 è una vista parzialmente in sezione illustrante il manipolo in uso; Figure 2 is a partially sectional view illustrating the handpiece in use;
le figure 3 e 4 sono viste prospettiche illustranti il manipolo in uso; Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views illustrating the handpiece in use;
la figura 5 è una vista in spaccato di una sezione di pelle. Figure 5 is a cut-away view of a section of leather.
Con particolare riferimento ai simboli numerici delle suddette figure, l’apparecchiatura per la rimozione di tatuaggi, secondo il trovato, indicata globalmente con il numero di riferimento 1, comprende un manipolo 2 alimentato da un’unità di controllo 3. With particular reference to the numerical symbols of the aforementioned figures, the apparatus for removing tattoos, according to the invention, globally indicated with the reference number 1, includes a handpiece 2 powered by a control unit 3.
Il manipolo 2 presenta una superficie operativa 4 atta ad essere avvicinata e/o messa in contatto con l’epidermide 5 di un paziente. The handpiece 2 has an operating surface 4 suitable for being approached and / or put in contact with the epidermis 5 of a patient.
La superficie operativa 4 presenta almeno un trasmettitore di ultrasuoni 6, almeno un trasduttore di microonde bipolare 7 ed almeno un trasmettitore di luce 8. The operative surface 4 has at least one ultrasound transmitter 6, at least one bipolar microwave transducer 7 and at least one light transmitter 8.
Il trasmettitore di ultrasuoni 6 è vantaggiosamente un trasmettitore di ultrasuoni a impulsi, di frequenza variabile tra 3 e 700 MHZ. The ultrasound transmitter 6 is advantageously a pulse ultrasound transmitter, of variable frequency between 3 and 700 MHZ.
Il trasduttore di microonde bipolare 7 è configurato per indurre calore nello strato superficiale dell’epidermide, precisamente al primo strato del derma, fino ad una temperatura compresa tra 48°C e 56°C, cioè fino alla soglia di forte interessamento dei nociricettori termici. The bipolar microwave transducer 7 is configured to induce heat in the superficial layer of the epidermis, precisely in the first layer of the dermis, up to a temperature between 48 ° C and 56 ° C, that is, up to the threshold of strong involvement of the thermal nocireceptors.
Il trasmettitore di luce 8 è vantaggiosamente costituito da una fascia di fibre ottiche e trasmette luce bianca o colorata, in funzione del colore del tatuaggio da rimuovere. The light transmitter 8 is advantageously constituted by a band of optical fibers and transmits white or colored light, depending on the color of the tattoo to be removed.
Preferibilmente, il trasmettitore di luce 8 comprende LED di almeno 40 watt/steradiante. Preferably, the light transmitter 8 comprises LEDs of at least 40 watts / steradian.
Il funzionamento dell’apparecchiatura 1 oggetto del presente trovato è il seguente. The operation of the apparatus 1 object of the present invention is as follows.
Il terminale del manipolo 2 viene posizionato a contatto con la superficie 5 di pelle da trattare in corrispondenza del tatuaggio 9, dove vengono azionati i trasmettitori. The terminal of the handpiece 2 is positioned in contact with the skin surface 5 to be treated in correspondence with the tattoo 9, where the transmitters are operated.
Il trasmettitore di ultrasuoni 6 provvede a spezzare i legami molecolari dei pigmenti coloranti del tatuaggio. The ultrasound transmitter 6 breaks the molecular bonds of the tattoo coloring pigments.
Il trasduttore di microonde 7 è diretto ad incrementare la vasodilatazione del letto capillare mediante riscaldamento mirato dello strato superficiale del derma, così da consentire l’assorbimento dei pigmenti da parte del microsistema circolatorio dell’epidermide e dello strato di derma interessato, costituito dal sistema di canalicoli dello strato malpighiano, zona ricca di terminazioni nervose che contiene il caratteristico pigmento cutaneo o melanina, al di sotto della quale è posizionato il disegno del tatuaggio. The microwave transducer 7 is aimed at increasing the vasodilation of the capillary bed by means of targeted heating of the superficial layer of the dermis, so as to allow the absorption of pigments by the circulatory microsystem of the epidermis and the affected dermis layer, consisting of the canaliculi of the Malpighian layer, an area rich in nerve endings that contains the characteristic skin pigment or melanin, under which the tattoo design is positioned.
Infine, il trasmettitore di luce bianca 8, ad alta intensità, è finalizzato alla ossidazione dei pigmenti e dei loro eventuali supporti residui. Finally, the high intensity white light transmitter 8 is aimed at oxidizing the pigments and their possible residual supports.
Le applicazioni del manipolo 2 sono vantaggiosamente precedute da una applicazione di acqua asettica affinché penetri mediante elettroporazione, allo scopo di incrementare la quantità di liquido subcutaneo, utile per la ricircolazione intradermica dei pigmenti rimossi. The applications of the handpiece 2 are advantageously preceded by an application of aseptic water so that it penetrates by electroporation, in order to increase the quantity of subcutaneous liquid, useful for the intradermal recirculation of the removed pigments.
Il tatuaggio 9, eseguito con pigmenti normalmente in uso, può essere rimosso con un numero di applicazioni variabile in funzione della densità del colore interessato. The tattoo 9, performed with pigments normally in use, can be removed with a number of applications which vary according to the density of the color concerned.
Si è in pratica constatato come il trovato raggiunga il compito e gli scopi prefissati. In practice it has been found that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects.
Si è infatti realizzata un’apparecchiatura in grado di rimuovere efficacemente i tatuaggi senza causare effetti collaterali dannosi. In fact, equipment has been created that can effectively remove tattoos without causing harmful side effects.
L’apparecchiatura oggetto del presente trovato utilizza in combinazione tre diversi dispositivi ed è in grado di rimuovere tatuaggi disegnati con i pigmenti attualmente sul mercato, su base acquosa o alcoolica. The apparatus of the present invention uses three different devices in combination and is able to remove tattoos drawn with the pigments currently on the market, on a water or alcohol basis.
Naturalmente i materiali impiegati, nonché le dimensioni, potranno essere qualsiasi secondo le esigenze. The materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to requirements.
