DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair growth promoting laser beam irradiating apparatus, and more particularly to a hair growth promoting laser beam irradiating apparatus for irradiating a laser beam to a predetermined position on the head of a healer. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various attempts have been made to promote hair growth. Although there are various methods for promoting hair growth, there are roughly two methods: a method using a hair regenerating agent or the like; and a method of giving physical stimulation.

[0003] The above-mentioned method of applying a physical stimulus to promote hair growth is a method in which a heat stimulus, a pressure stimulus, or the like is applied to the head of a treating person to improve blood circulation, thereby promoting hair growth. . There are various means for applying a thermal stimulus or a pressure stimulus to the above-mentioned healer's head, but recently, attempts have been made to promote hair growth using a laser beam.

[0004] The above laser beams have the same wavelength length (color of light) and are purely one-color light beams. Also, since the laser beam has the same level of wavelength,
Has excellent convergence. Therefore, it is a light beam that can exert a very strong effect on living cells even in a small amount.

[0005]

When a laser beam having the above-mentioned properties is used for promoting hair growth, it is desirable to irradiate the laser beam to a predetermined position on the head of the patient. Conventionally, however, a person holds the laser beam irradiating section in his hand and irradiates the laser beam to the head of the healer.

As described above, since a laser beam has extremely excellent convergence, it is necessary to reliably hold a laser beam irradiation portion at a predetermined position. In addition, in order to obtain a uniform therapeutic effect on each part of the head of the healer, it is desirable to irradiate the head of the healer with a laser beam while maintaining a constant interval.

[0007] However, conventionally, since humans irradiate the laser beam irradiating section with their hands, it is very difficult to irradiate the laser beam to the head of the above-mentioned physician while maintaining a predetermined interval. In some cases, the laser beam is too close to a predetermined position to be irradiated with the laser beam, or too far.

[0008] For this reason, conventionally, it has not been possible to sufficiently elicit the stimulating action of the laser beam on human body cells. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has an object to easily and reliably perform a task of irradiating a laser beam toward a treatment site while holding a laser beam irradiation unit at a predetermined position on a treatment person's head. With the goal.

[0009]

A laser beam irradiation apparatus for promoting hair growth according to the present invention comprises: a laser beam irradiation section 10 for irradiating a laser beam toward a head 20 of a healer; A headgear section 11 for holding the headgear section 20 toward the head 20;
An irradiation unit slide mechanism 13 that supports the laser beam irradiation unit 10 slidably along the head of the treatment person's head 20 and a mechanism that supports the headgear unit 11 on a laser beam irradiation device main body 12. A headgear support mechanism 30 for supporting the headgear 11 movably in at least the up-down direction and the front-back direction is provided.

Another feature of the present invention is that
A plurality of the laser beam irradiation units 10 are attached to the headgear unit 11.

Another feature of the present invention is that the laser beam emitted from the laser beam irradiator 10 is HeNe 6328 Å.

[0012]

Since the present invention comprises the above technical means, when irradiating a laser beam to the head 20 of the healer to perform a hair growth promoting treatment, the headgear is first placed over the head 20 of the healer. The part 11 is set. In this case, in the laser beam irradiation device for promoting hair growth of the present invention, the headgear portion 11 is attached to the laser beam irradiation device main body 12 via the headgear portion support mechanism 30 that supports the movable portion in at least the up-down direction and the front-back direction. Therefore, the headgear portion 11 can be easily and reliably set at a predetermined position.

Next, the position of the laser beam irradiating section 10 mounted on the headgear section 11 is finely adjusted.
A preparation for irradiating a laser beam toward the treatment site on the head 20 of the above-mentioned therapist is performed. The laser beam irradiation unit 10
Is mounted on the headgear section 11 via the irradiation section slide mechanism 13, so that the irradiation section slide mechanism 13 may be operated to adjust the position where the laser beam is irradiated. Accordingly, the headgear unit 11 itself does not need to be moved in order to direct the laser beam irradiating unit 10 toward the treatment site of the treatment person's head 20. Therefore, the operation of adjusting the irradiation position is easy and the delicate adjustment is performed. It can be performed reliably. Next, by operating the operation unit provided in the laser beam irradiation device main body 12, the laser beam is set to be irradiated with a predetermined output and a predetermined time, and irradiation is started after the setting is completed.
