Description

Laser hair loss treatment device {Alopecia-healing comb using laser}

The present invention relates to a laser hair loss treatment device for the treatment or prevention of hair growth promotion and hair loss by activating the hair root cells of the scalp by using the heating element, the vibration element and the optical pulse of the laser diode. The present invention relates to a laser hair loss treatment device that can improve the laser irradiation efficiency at the same time.

In general, although the exact cause of hair loss has not been determined, genetic factors, male hormones, and stress are known to act. Male hormone itself does not cause hair loss, but due to reductase, testosterone, a male hormone, dies. It is known to change to hard testosterone (DHT) and then to androgen receptors to reduce the function of the dermal papilla and hair follicles and to damage blood vessels and cause hair loss. In addition, there are various causes such as lack of nutrition to hair roots, stress caused by dyeing, drying and perm.

The treatment of hair loss is carried out through various methods. Recently, a method of irradiating the scalp with a low-power laser is widely used, and by inducing the stimulation of cells, expansion of blood vessels, activation of hair root cells, and promotion of blood circulation by low-power lasers It is known to prevent hair loss and to treat and prevent diseases of the scalp.

On the other hand, the type of laser used for the hair loss treatment is classified based on the wavelength, semiconductor laser 830 ~ 900nm, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser 10600nm, argon (Ar) laser 488 ~ 514.6nm, Andy Yag (Nd-Yag) Laser 532 nm, Ruby laser 694 nm, Helium-neon laser 632 nm, Erbium-yag laser 2940 nm, etc. are known.

In particular, the low power laser refers to an infrared wavelength having a wavelength of 1400 nm from red visible light having a wavelength of 600 nm or more, and the output intensity is about 100 mW to 500 mW and the amount of energy per unit area is 0.05 to 5.0 W / Cm 2. In addition, the treatment of skin diseases using infrared rays is gradually performed. In other words, when light is irradiated to the skin of the human body, the light (photon) is penetrated into the skin tissue, at which time the absorbed light is converted into heat energy and the heat energy causes a heat treatment effect, especially nitric oxide in the vascular endothelium. Is produced and activated, the natural healing power is improved, tone and texture are improved, moisture is replenished, and it moisturizes, stimulates giant cells and fibroblasts, increases collagen and elastin production, increases oxygen in the bloodstream and eliminates toxins. It is known to be effective in preventing and health of hair.

The wavelength of the infrared wavelength used in the treatment method is: blue diode (Blue light emitting diode): 400-470 nm, green diode (Green light emitting diode): 470-572 nm, yellow diode (Yellow light emitting diode): 572-630 nm And red diodes (Red light emitting diodes): 630 to 700 nm, and infrared diodes (Infrared light emitting diodes): 700 to 1,400 nm.

In particular, the treatment method by the infrared is simple and there is no concern of side effects, the situation is gradually expanding the scope of the procedure.
