Description

  The present invention relates to a method for improving the condition of the scalp and hair.

  Scalp and hair decay, such as thinning hair, loss of hair, hair loss, etc., are a problem for many. Thus, conventionally, many hair nourishing agents and hair nourishing methods have been proposed. In the present application, the term “hair growth” is used as a term representing a broad concept including all of hair growth, hair growth, hair condition improvement, and scalp condition improvement.

  Among conventionally proposed hair nourishing methods, effective ingredients for promoting hair growth are efficiently penetrated into the deep scalp of the scalp from those that can be easily carried out at home (for example, Patent Document 1). Various things exist to the complicated thing (for example, patent document 2) which raises the hair growth promotion effect.

  In addition, physical treatment for the scalp is performed, such as applying ultrasonic vibration to the silicon thin film covering the face and head and applying ions by applying gel between the silicon thin film and the skin surface. A system has also been proposed (for example, Patent Document 3). In the present application, “treatment” does not mean performing a so-called medical practice, but means performing a predetermined process for hair restoration.

As a result of extensive research by the inventor of the present invention, among the many treatments that can be expected to be effective in improving the condition of the scalp and hair, and among treatments usually performed on the face in the field of facial esthetics, The treatment is configured as a series of treatments by selecting treatments that can lead to a certain effect without relying on advanced skills at a cost, and further selecting a desirable order so that they produce a synergistic effect.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an example of the scalp and hair condition improving method according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another example of the scalp and hair condition improving method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

(Embodiment)
Hereinafter, an embodiment which is a specific example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a flow of a hair growth / hair growth course 1 which is an example of the scalp and hair condition improving method according to the present embodiment.

  The hair-growth / hair-growth course 1 is composed of essential basic steps and optional steps that are added to the basic course according to the desire of a hair-growth applicant or according to appliances and the like that are held by the store. The following is a description of the sequence including all options.

  First, the hair growth / hair growth course 1 is started by a counseling step S0. The counseling step S0 is the first time that a hair-growth applicant uses this course, and after that, on a regular basis or as requested by the hair-growth applicant, explanation of the course contents and effects, etc. This is a step of making a diagnosis regarding the condition of the scalp and hair, photographing them, and giving various advices according to the questions and concerns of the hair-growth applicant. The counseling step S0 is an optional step in the sense that it does not need to be performed every time, but is performed at least for the first time and periodically.

  As with the counseling step S0, an image showing the state of the scalp and hair before washing is captured using a microscope and recorded as image data for the first time, thereafter, periodically or as desired by the hair-growth applicant. The pre-cleaning recording step S1 is performed. Images taken and recorded in the pre-cleaning recording step S1 are carefully considered by the home by being viewed by the hair-growth applicant as needed in addition to grasping the improvement of the scalp and hair of the hair-growth applicant. It is also used to maintain the motivation to continue hair restoration efforts such as shampooing. The pre-cleaning recording step S1 is also an optional step in the sense that it does not need to be performed every time, but is performed at least for the first time and periodically.

  Subsequently, a steam step S2 is performed in which the head is heated by blowing steam and the sebum of the scalp is floated. The steam step S2 may be performed after shampooing in the cleaning step S4 described later. This step is not necessary, for example, in summer, and is an optional step.

  Subsequently, an ozone step S3 for sterilizing the scalp by spraying ozone is performed. The ozone step S3 may be performed simultaneously with the steam step S2. In that case, steam containing ozone is sprayed onto the scalp. This step is an optional step because it is not always necessary for hair growth applicants who do not have acne or the like on their scalp, for example.

  Subsequently, a cleaning step S4 for cleaning the scalp by spraying shampoo on the scalp, that is, cleansing is performed. The cleaning step S4 is an essential step.

  It is desirable that the washing step S4 is performed by two steps, that is, a first washing step by hand washing and a second washing step by a hair washing machine that is subsequently performed.

  The first washing step is mainly performed for the purpose of removing sebum from the pores of the scalp. At that time, a so-called shampoo brush may be used. Moreover, if the objective of removing sebum from pores is achieved, the first washing step may be performed by a hair washing machine.

  The second washing step is performed for the purpose of washing the scalp, pores and hair along with removal of sebum that could not be washed in the first washing step. At that time, it is desirable to use a hair nourishing shampoo as the shampoo to be sprayed. The second washing step may also be performed by hand washing if the purpose is achieved. In addition, in this application, a hair nourishing agent is a wide concept including a hair growth agent and a hair growth agent.

  Note that it is not essential to perform the cleaning step S4 by two steps of the first cleaning step and the second cleaning step, and as long as the purpose is achieved, it may be performed in one step.

  In addition, instead of or after the first washing step and the second washing step in the washing step S4, a so-called circulation type hair washer may be used. The circulation type hair washer is a machine for washing hair by circulating a liquid containing a component said to have a good effect on improving the condition of the scalp such as polyphenol.

  Subsequently, a treatment step S5 for spraying treatment on the hair is performed. The treatment step S5 is an optional step because it is not directly related to hair growth, but it is generally desirable to carry out treatment to supplement the fat and nutrients of the hair and keep the hair in good condition.

  Subsequently, after the washing step S4, after the towel is dried, a post-washing recording step S6 is performed in which an image showing the state of the scalp and hair after washing is taken and recorded as image data using a microscope. The image photographed and recorded in the post-washing recording step S6 is mainly used for checking the state of pores, the state of hair growth, and whether or not the sebum is correctly removed. The image is also viewed by a hair-growth applicant if necessary, and is also used for confirming the effects of daily hair-growth efforts. The post-washing recording step S6 is an indispensable step because it is more important than ever to confirm the effect in hair nourishment and to maintain the motivation of the hair nourishing applicant.

  Subsequently, a sebum suction step S7 for sucking out sebum from the head with a suction device is performed. The sebum suction step S7 is an optional step that is performed when it is confirmed that sebum solidified in the pores is clogged and it is difficult to remove the sebum by the cleaning in the cleaning step S4. The sebum sucking step S7 can obtain a sufficient suction effect in a portion where the hair is very small or no hair, but is not effective in a portion where the hair is abundant.

  Subsequently, a patterning step S8 is performed in which suction and blowout to the scalp are rhythmically repeated to improve circulation of lymph fluid flowing on the surface of the scalp to promote waste discharge and to provide a relaxation effect. Putter step S8 is an optional step. It is to be noted that the putter step S8 is similar to the sebum suction step S7 in that it has no effect on the portion where the hair is abundant.

  Subsequently, one of EMS pulse step S9 for flowing an EMS pulse to the scalp, infrared irradiation step S9 ′ for irradiating the scalp with infrared rays, or bioproton irradiation step S9 ″ for irradiating the scalp with bioprotons (or two or more of them) )I do.

  The EMS flowed to the scalp in the EMS pulse step S9 is an electrical muscle simulation, which induces muscle movement by stimulating the muscle with low-frequency electricity.

  The infrared ray irradiated to the scalp in the infrared irradiation step S9 'is a far infrared ray, which promotes blood circulation of the scalp.

  The bioproton irradiated to the scalp in the bioproton irradiation step S9 ″ is artificial sunlight using only visible light from which harmful ultraviolet rays are removed. It has been generally reported that irradiation of bioprotons activates skin cells, promotes metabolism, and eliminates acne and other troubles in the stratum corneum. It can be used to improve and lift skin. Bioprotons have the same wavelength as the sun rays that make rainbows, and have a relaxing effect.

  Note that the EMS pulse step S9, the infrared irradiation step S9 ', and the bioproton irradiation step S9' 'are optional steps.

  Subsequently, a napped muscle stimulation step S10 is performed in which excess moisture is removed and the napped muscles are stimulated at the same time by an arm dryer that generates wind at a wind speed of a predetermined value or more from below the head surface toward the top of the head. The arm dryer is usually used for drying hair, but the hair is lifted by the wind to stimulate the raised muscles, and at the same time blood circulation is promoted, and as a result, it is effective for hair growth. Therefore, instead of using an arm-type dryer, an airflow device for achieving the purpose may be used. The napped muscle stimulation step S10 is an optional step.

  Subsequently, a scalp softening step S11 that softens the scalp by applying lotion and massages to promote blood circulation and relaxation, a hair nourishing agent introduction step S12 that introduces a hair nourishing agent into the scalp by an iontophoresis device, and an ultrasonic generator The hair matrix cell activation step S13 is performed in this order to promote the activation of the hair matrix cells by massaging the scalp, and at the same time to remove the dirt deposited deep in the pores. These steps are important steps that are particularly effective in hair restoration. Therefore, these steps are essential steps.

  The lotion used in the scalp softening step S11 is not limited to the so-called lotion applied to the face, and any of liquid agents such as hair nourishing agents and solid agents such as wax may be used.

  The ion introduction performed in the hair nourishing agent introduction step S12 is a method of effectively introducing a water-soluble substance into the skin by passing a weak current through the skin.

  The ultrasonic generator used in the hair matrix activation step S13 is generally used to eliminate foot fatigue caused by walking or swelling of the foot due to prolonged standing, and gives vibration to the skin by the force of ultrasonic waves. It is known to produce a massage effect, promote blood circulation, and eliminate swelling, but treatment on the scalp results in blood circulation promotion and activation of hair matrix cells. In addition, the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic generator is about 1 MHz.

  After at least the steam step S2 and at least a part of the period until the hair matrix cell activation step S13, the blood circulation promotion step S14 for irradiating the body with infrared rays to promote blood circulation throughout the body may be performed simultaneously. The blood circulation promotion step S14 also has an effect of promoting relaxation of the hair-growth applicant, particularly in winter, and indirectly promoting the continuation of the hair-growth efforts. In the summer, the blood circulation promoting step S14 is an optional step because it may make the hair-growing applicant feel hot.

  Subsequently, a finishing step S15 is performed in which the hair is poured with water or hot water to adjust the hairstyle, or the hair is straightened. However, it is better not to remove the hair nourishing agent from the scalp for as long as possible from the viewpoint of the effect of hair restoration, so it is necessary to prepare the hairstyle like a hair restoration applicant who goes home after receiving this course treatment, for example. In the case where there is not, finishing step S15 may be omitted. Accordingly, the finishing step S15 is an optional step.

  Subsequently, the staff who performed the treatment and the counseling staff explained the treatment performed on the day to the hair-growth applicant, and then gave advice on the desired hair-growth efforts that the hair-growth applicant would like to do at home. Aftercare step S16 for performing counseling regarding aftercare is performed. The aftercare step S16 is an optional step in the sense that it is not necessary to be performed every time, like the counseling step S0 performed at the start of the course, for the first time and periodically, or at the request of the hair-growth applicant. is there.

  The above is the description of the hair growth / hair growth course 1 which is an example of the scalp and hair condition improving method according to the present embodiment.

  Then, the pulling course 2 which is another Example of the scalp and hair state improvement method concerning this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flow of the pulling course 2.

  The pulling course 2 is different from the hair growth / hair growth course 1 only in that it includes a microcurrent massage step S12 ′ instead of the hair nourishing agent introduction step S12 and hair matrix cell activation step S13 in the hair growth / hair growth course 1 described above. ing. Accordingly, only the microcurrent massage step S12 'will be described below, and the description of the other steps will be omitted.

  The microcurrent massage step S12 'aims to promote scalp cell repair and muscle movement by flowing microcurrent through the scalp, and is an essential step in the lifting course 2.

  Microcurrent is a weak current of the same type as bioelectricity related to the self-healing power possessed by humans. By flowing it from the outside, cell repair and stimulation of muscles are performed. Microcurrent is widely used for facial lift-up and is also said to be effective in eliminating dullness and pore dirt. It is known that when a microcurrent is applied to a human cell, the cell is activated by the weak current, and stimulation of adenosine triphosphate is promoted. Adenosine triphosphate is a tissue necessary for the human body, and its production is promoted to promote repair of damaged cells.

  In the present embodiment, a current of 1 microampere or more and less than 1000 microamperes, preferably 10 to 30 microamperes, is used as the microcurrent. However, these numerical values do not limit the present invention.

  Raising the scalp not only brings about the activation of the scalp, but also has the effect of raising the sagging of the face that is connected to it by raising the scalp. Therefore, the pulling course 2 is expected to be used by people who are worried about sagging of the face rather than those who suffer from thinning hair. Many such people are middle-aged and potentially have problems with thinning hair. Therefore, by providing the scalp activation and checking the condition of the scalp and hair in the pull-up course 2, it is possible to prevent hair thinning and provide hair restoration measures for those who want to be aware of thin hair worries. Is possible.

  The above is the explanation of the pulling course 2.

  By the way, you may implement the comprehensive course which integrated the hair growth / hair growth course 1 and the raising course 2 mentioned above. Specifically, after the microcurrent massage step S12 'in the pulling course 2, a hair nourishing agent introduction step S12 and a hair matrix cell activation step S13 are performed. All of these steps have been shown to result in scalp activation and synergistic effects.

  The above-described embodiment can be variously modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. For example, the order of the above steps may be changed as necessary. As described above, the optional step can be omitted.

  The method for improving the condition of the scalp and hair according to the present invention is effective for people who are worried about thinning hair or who are worried about thinning hair, especially in small-scale stores such as beauty salons, barbers, and esthetic salons. It can be implemented as.
