Description

  The present invention relates to a hair loss manager, and more particularly to a hair loss manager that can regenerate and activate cells by promoting blood circulation using phototherapy and electrotherapy.

  According to the data from the International Association of Scalp Hair Professionals, modern people suffer from a variety of hair loss factors in addition to genetic factors. Also, compared to the past, when the hair loss phenomenon was limited to only men, the mode of hair loss among women is increasing due to hormonal imbalance and anemia, diet, birth, etc.

  Conventionally, hormonal treatment or drug treatment has been used to solve such problems, but in the case of drug treatment in which a steroid or the like is injected into the hair loss site, drug injection due to an allergic reaction to the drug or other chronic disease Depending on whether or not it is possible, a situation that cannot be applied occurs. In addition, in the case of such drug treatment, not only does not provide a fundamental treatment method, but also the cost is increased due to the continuous treatment, and the economic burden of the alopecia disease person increases. And it was impossible to prevent, and such treatment methods could not be used before the disease occurred.

  Therefore, recently, there is an increasing need for a hair removal manager that regenerates and activates cells without adding a separate drug, thereby preventing hair loss and smoothing hair growth.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a hair loss management device capable of regenerating and activating cells and preventing hair loss by simultaneously performing phototherapy and electrotherapy to promote blood circulation. There is a place to do.

  The problems to be solved by the present invention include a housing that is divided into a head including a front plate and a back plate, a handle that is connected to the head and that can be gripped, and the front of the head of the housing. An electrode rod that projects along the frame of the head and that stimulates the scalp; and a vibrator that is fastened to the electrode rod and provided in the head of the housing and applies vibrations A coupled electrode rod fastening plate, a control button mounted on the housing, for adjusting driving of the electrode rod and the vibrator, and a radially inner side of the electrode rod at the front plate of the head And a light source coupled to the hair removal manager.

  According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the light source has a wavelength band of 380 nm to 460 nm and 600 nm to 700 nm.

  Preferably, the head includes a plurality of light sources, and the light source includes an LD at the center of the head and an LED radially outside the LD.

  The electrode rod is preferably a monopolar type.

  Further, it is preferable that the housing is fastened so that a grounding band electrically connected to the electrode rod is exposed to the outside along the handle.

  The electrode rod is preferably a bipolar type.

  The electrode rod may be divided into an anode and a cathode, and the anode and the cathode may be formed at positions facing each other.

  In addition, electrodes are arranged in a plurality of channels in the electrode rod so that current can be passed only through the same channel, but the currents passing through the electrode rod intersect each other between the channels. In addition, it is preferable that the channels are alternately arranged on the electrode rods.

  The electrode rod is preferably supplied with a current of 1 kHz to 100 kHz.

  The electrode rod is preferably surface-treated so that light is reflected.

  Preferably, the head has an elliptical shape, and a plurality of the electrode rods are arranged in a line along the elliptical head shape radially outside the light source.

  According to the present invention, when phototherapy and electrotherapy are performed at the same time and blood circulation is promoted, the regenerative power of the cells increases and the cells are activated, so that hair loss does not progress further. In addition, it is possible to provide a scalp environment in which hair growth can proceed smoothly to the hair loss site. In addition, since the electrode rod is formed in a shape that can reflect light, supplying a light source maximizes the effects of electrotherapy and the light source, minimizes the blind spot of the light, and the frequency of the current depending on the application. Can be used not only for hair loss treatment but also for prevention.

1 is a perspective view of a hair removal manager according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a front view of the hair loss management device by one Example of this invention.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred examples. However, these examples are for explaining the present invention more specifically, and the scope of the present invention is easily implemented by this, and any such modifications and changes are within the scope of the present invention. include.

  Hair loss refers to a state where there is no hair at a site where hair must normally exist, and generally means that the hair on the scalp is removed. Hard hair, unlike soft hair with no color and thin thickness, can cause cosmetic problems if it falls off. In the case of Koreans whose hair density is lower than that of Westerners, there are about 50,000 to 70,000 hairs, and it is a normal phenomenon that about 50 to 70 hairs are removed per day. Therefore, when the number of hairs that fall out after sleeping or when washing the hair exceeds 100, there is a high possibility that it is due to a pathological cause. Hair loss is divided into two types, where scars are formed clinically and those that are not formed. Hair loss in which scars are formed destroys the hair follicle, so hair is not regenerated while hair loss in which scars are not formed Since the sac is retained, the hair is regenerated after the symptom site disappears. Non-scarring hair loss that does not cause scarring includes hereditary androgenic hair loss (hair baldness), circular hair loss, head ringworm due to mold infection, resting hair loss, hair loss wrinkles, hair formation disorder, and scar formation Scarring hair loss includes hair loss due to lupus, hair folliculitis, lichen planus, hair loss due to burns and trauma. The most frequent cases of alopecia are alopecia areata and buns, and none of them are scarred. Examples of hair loss diseases include buns (male pattern hair loss), female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and resting phase hair loss.

  The causes of such hair loss are diverse, but alopecia areata is considered an autoimmune disease, and resting alopecia is an endocrine disease, nutritional deficiency, drug use, childbirth, fever, surgery, etc. This is temporary hair loss that occurs after physical stress, and a part of the hair cannot satisfy the entire life, but is dropped in the rest period.

  Among the various causes of hair loss, the present invention prevents hair loss due to blood circulation disorder in the scalp, and at the same time, assists in the absorption of a hair loss treatment drug to prevent hair loss. That is, the hair root cells satisfy the original growth period among the growth cycle, regression phase, and resting cycle, facilitating hair growth, and at the same time, the cells are irradiated by the light source 150 and electrical stimulation. It activates and dilates blood vessels to improve blood circulation so that damaged cellular tissue returns to normal.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hair removal manager according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1A is an exploded perspective view showing the back of the hair removal manager. (B) is a perspective view which shows the front of a hair removal management device.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the hair removal management device according to the present invention includes a head 114 including a front plate 114a and a back plate 114b, and a head 114 that is connected to the head 114 and holds the head. The housing 110 is divided into a handle 112 that can be formed, and the front plate 114a of the head 114 of the housing 110. The housing 110 projects along the frame of the front plate 114a and stimulates the scalp. Is attached to the housing 110, and an electrode rod fastening plate 130 fastened to the electrode rod 120 and provided in the head 114 of the housing 110 to which a vibrator 132 for applying vibration is coupled. A control button 140 for adjusting the driving of the electrode rod 120 and the vibrator 132, and the front plate 114a of the head 114. Including, a light source 150 coupled to a radially inward from the electrode rod 120.

  The hair removal manager uses a control button 140 formed on the handle 112 of the housing 110 to turn on / off the power, turn on the light source 150, or the frequency or current of the current applied to the electrode bar 120. The presence / absence of application can be adjusted. The presence or absence of vibration of the electrode rod 120 can also be selected. The elliptical head 114 is divided into a front plate 114a and a back plate 114b. An electrode rod 120 is provided through the front plate 114a of the head 114, and a handle 112 is provided on the back plate 114b of the head 114. It will be installed continuously. Here, the electrode rods 120 are provided in a line along the front plate 114a frame of the head 114. The terminal end of the electrode rod 120 that is in direct contact with the scalp is formed in a curved surface to prevent the scalp from being scratched by a pointed surface.

  The electrode rod fastening plate 130 provided in the housing 110 is coupled to the electrode rod fastening plate 130 by the electrode rod fastening plate 130 when the vibrator 132 is driven in order to maintain the state in contact with the vibrator 132. Vibration is transmitted to the electrode rod 120. Therefore, when the blood circulation of the scalp is smoothly advanced while massaging the scalp and the nutrient solution is applied to the scalp, the nutrient solution can be smoothly absorbed by the scalp by the vibration of the electrode rod 120.

  Here, it is particularly desirable that the head 114 has an elliptical shape. That is, when applied to the scalp which is a curved surface, it is easily applied to the rear part of the ear and the back of the neck. In particular, it is desirable that the head 114 be formed so that the major axis of the elliptical head 114 coincides with the vertical direction of the hair removal manager.

  In addition, since the head 114 is applied to the curved scalp, even if the curvature changes depending on the application position, the head 114 is kept in constant contact with the scalp and at the same time the distance from the light source 150 is constant. The front plate 114a of 114 can be formed of a flexible material that can be bent. That is, at the position where the skull protrudes, the front plate 114a is provided in a concave shape so that the light source 150 provided on the front plate 114a can be separated from the scalp. Moreover, in the position where the skull is concave like the medulla oblongata, the distance from the scalp can be reduced by providing the front plate 114a in a convex shape. Therefore, in practice, the light source 150 and the scalp can be kept at a certain distance within a certain range.

  Here, the electrode rods 120 are arranged in a line along the front plate 114a frame of the head 114. Therefore, an object that obstructs the scalp from the light source 150 to the electrode rod 120 is eliminated. In addition, the electrode rod 120 is surface-treated so that the light is reflected, thereby preventing the occurrence of a blind spot due to the light irradiation angle. The electrode rod 120 reflects the light for the same period of time. When the light source 150 irradiates light, the light irradiation effect can be maximized. In particular, by coating the electrode rod 120 with titanium, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of allergy to the skin when the electrode rod 120 directly touches the scalp.

  Here, the method of outputting a current by the electrode rod 120 is broadly classified into a monopolar type and a bipolar type. In the monopolar type, the electrode rod 120 is formed by a single electrode, and in the bipolar type, the electrode rod 120 is formed by a cathode and an anode.

  First, when the electrode rod 120 is a monopolar type, the housing 110 is fastened so that a grounding band electrically connected to the electrode rod 120 is exposed to the outside along the periphery of the handle 112. The Accordingly, the electricity flowing along the human body through the scalp while the grounding belt is in contact with the human body is electrically coupled to the grounding belt through the palm. For example, if the negative electrode is charged on the electrode rod 120 and the positive electrode is charged on the grounding belt, the electricity flowing along the human body through the scalp that is in contact with the electrode rod 120 passes through the palm of the hand 112 and is positive. Return to the electrode. When a hair removal manager that operates according to such a principle is applied to a scalp coated with cosmetics or active drugs having a negative potential, the negative electrode charged on the electrode rod 120 causes the repulsive force to follow the flow of negative electrons. The substance applied inside the scalp is forcibly introduced. In the opposite case, the charged negatively charged drugs and wastes are discharged outside.

  Such an effect is also used when a current of a low frequency, medium frequency, or high frequency wavelength band is applied. For example, in the case of a current in a low frequency wavelength band of 1 Hz to 1 kHz, if all the electrode rods 120 are short-circuited and a low frequency current is passed, the electrodes are divided into the electrode rod 120 and the grounding band. If a current is applied to the grounding band in this manner, the muscle is stimulated while the current flows through the entire portion where the electrode rod 120 is in close contact, and muscle contraction occurs at the position in close contact with the electrode rod 120. When a current in the medium frequency band of 1 kHz to 100 kHz is passed by such a monopolar system, blood circulation becomes vigorous by causing deep fever in addition to the muscle contraction action. Deep heat generation occurs while water molecules constituting the skin composition vibrate rapidly with frequency and cause friction with each other. If a high-frequency current of 100 kHz or higher is passed, the depth at which deep heat generation occurs is further increased.

  FIG. 2 shows a front view of the hair removal manager head 114 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

  Further, the electrode rod 120 can be formed in a bipolar type other than the above-described monopolar type. That is, the electrode rod 120 can be provided with both an anode and a cathode. In such a case, it is not necessary to separately provide a grounding band. When the electrode rod 120 is provided as a bipolar type, since the electrode rod 120 is divided into two poles, a current flows between the electrode rods 120 to stimulate the scalp. At this time, the electrode rod 120 is divided in half with respect to the center line C of the head 114 which coincides with the major axis of the head 114 formed in an elliptical shape, and the electrode rod 120 is divided between the electrode rods 120 separated on the left side and the right side. Only allow current to flow.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the anode and the cathode are provided at positions facing each other, but by keeping the distance at a certain distance or more, the area where the stimulation by the current flowing between the two electrodes is narrow Try not to induce pain like stabbing with a needle, and to make muscle contraction smoothly. Therefore, the cells are activated by the stimulation of the current and circulate blood smoothly. At this time, the electrode 120 can form an anode and a cathode at positions facing each other in one channel, but maximizes the area where the stimulation by the current is generated in the scalp located between the electrodes 120. Therefore, two or more channels in which an anode and a cathode are generated can be provided. Here, the channel allows current to flow only between the anode and the cathode between the same channels. That is, when the electrode rod 120 includes the first channel CH1 and the second channel CH2 as in the embodiment of the present invention, the first channel cathode CH1- and the second channel anode CH2 +, or the first channel. Current does not pass between the anode CH1 + of the first channel and the cathode CH2- of the second channel, and the current is merely between the anode CH1 + and the cathode CH1- of the first channel, and only between the anode CH2 + of the second channel and the cathode CH2-. To flow.

  Therefore, compared with the case of a single channel, the area through which the current flows is increased, and the scalp can be massaged uniformly. In particular, by arranging the electrode bars 120 so that the anode and the cathode face each other at the same time, and the channels are alternately positioned, the distance between the electrode bars 120 through which the current passes becomes a certain distance or more. it can. That is, by making the distance between the electrode rods 120 through which the electric current passes a certain distance or more, it is possible to prevent the electric current from flowing only to the minimal part or transmitting the stinging pain to the scalp. For example, when the first channel CH1 and the second channel CH2 are provided, the electrode bar 120 connected to the second channel CH2 is provided on both sides of the electrode bar 120 connected to the first channel CH1. That is, the channels connected to the electrode rods 120 are alternately arranged in the order of the first channel CH1, the second channel CH2, the first channel CH1, and the second channel CH2.

  As an example, as shown in the drawing, while the channels are alternately arranged on the electrode rods 120, the anode and the cathode are formed at positions facing each other with respect to the center of the head 114, so that the electrode rods between the same channels are formed. From the current path passing through 120, it can be seen that the current movement paths between the channels cross each other. Therefore, the effect of preventing hair loss can be maximized by arranging the distance between the electrode rods 120 through which electricity passes to be a certain distance or more and increasing the area where muscle contraction occurs due to current. When the electrode rod 120 is provided as a bipolar type, low frequency, medium frequency, and high frequency currents can also be applied to the electrode rod 120. In particular, the hair removal manager according to the present invention can generate a deep heat generation in the scalp and at the same time generate muscle contraction by applying a medium frequency current of 1 kHz to 100 kHz to the electrode bar 120.

  Here, although it has been described that the electrode rod 120 is provided with two channels, it may be provided with two or more channels.

  A light source 150 is coupled to the front plate 114a of the head 114. As the light source 150 coupled to the front plate 114a, an LD 152 and an LED 154 are used. In one embodiment of the present invention, the light source 150 is provided with an LD 152 at the center of the head 114, and LEDs 154 are provided radially outside the LD 152. In particular, LEDs 154 are provided radially outward along the centerline C direction of the elliptical head 114. In the case of the LD 152, in order to emit strong light as compared with the LED 154, the scalp preheated by the LED 154 can regenerate the skin more smoothly by the action of the LD 152. At this time, the light source 150 may irradiate any one or more of the wavelength bands of 380 nm to 460 nm and 600 nm to 700 nm. In the case of light in the wavelength band of 380 nm to 460 nm, it excites porphyrin, which is a metabolite of acne gonococcus, and kills acne gonococci, thereby reducing sebum generated in seborrheic scalp pores and inflammation in the pores Can be treated to prevent or prevent hair loss. In the case of light having a wavelength band of 600 nm to 700 nm, if it penetrates into the skin, it not only has a thermal effect and an anti-inflammatory effect, but also has an effect of regenerating and activating the skin. It also functions to generate capillary cells, help blood circulation, supply oxygen to the scalp and pores, and remove waste products. Accordingly, by adjusting the wavelength of the light emitted from the LED 154 and the LD 152 mounted on the hair removal manager according to an embodiment of the present invention, not only inflammation suppression but also regeneration is prevented to prevent hair loss.

  Even in the process of forming only a part of or the entire end of the electrode rod 120 in contact with the scalp from tourmaline and applying only the light source 150 to the electrode rod 120 without applying an electric current or providing only vibration, At the same time as removing the waste, it can help the blood circulation of the scalp to be smooth.

  The present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments. However, these embodiments are for explaining the present invention more specifically, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereby. Is obvious to those skilled in the art.

  The present invention can be applied to a field related to a hair removal manager.
