HANDPIECE FOR TREATING SKIN AND DELIVERY METHOD OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY AT HUMAN TREATMENT TISSUE USING HANDPIECE FOR TREATING SKIN}

The present invention relates to a skin treatment device for the regeneration of the skin and a method of applying electrical energy to the human treatment site using the skin treatment device.

In general, skin acts as a primary barrier against environmental effects such as sun, cold and wind. As the skin ages, the skin loses its vital appearance due to environmental influences and wrinkles occur.

Human skin consists of a 100 μm thick epidermis, located beneath it, the dermis up to 4 mm from the skin, and finally the subcutaneous layer. These three layers influence the overall appearance of the skin. The dermis is composed of elastin collagen, glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. The subcutaneous layer has fibrous vertical bands that cross this layer and connect the dermal collagen and the subcutaneous layer. Collagen fibers provide the skin with stiffness and elasticity.

With age and sun exposure, collagen loses its elasticity and loses its youthful and taut appearance. Thus, many methods have been proposed to revitalize the skin.

Usually, the method of treating various scars or skin diseases, or for cosmetic purposes such as skin improvement or wrinkle improvement is to coagulate the tissue by applying various energy sources to the site. For example, many methods for transferring thermal energy are known.

These methods regenerate skin tissue by applying various energies to the target site of skin tissue, deliberately causing wounds, stimulating collagen in the dermis to induce the regeneration of collagen.

Referring to the papers, it is known that collagen degeneration is most reliably induced at 65 ° C to 75 ° C.

However, since the impedance value and the temperature value are different for each individual, even if the same electrical energy is applied, the actual input energy is different. Therefore, it is easy for the target area to reach the target temperature and cause an accurate increase in the target temperature. This is not it.

Therefore, in order to cause the temperature rise of the accurate target site, the electrical energy according to any one of the impedance value, the temperature value, the voltage, and the current of the target site should be reflected.

In addition, it is not easy to insert the needle into the target site with the same length with the needle of the same length because the target skin has different skin thicknesses.

Therefore, there is a need for a device that assists the insertion of the needle in a uniform thickness to the target site.

Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to select and stimulate a target site by using a suction (Suction) in order to treat the exact target site.

In addition, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an objective electric energy to a parameter table having an electric energy value according to the target temperature, the body impedance value, or the temperature value.

Skin treatment apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a suction unit for sucking the target site of the skin surface; A plurality of needle parts inside the suction part; A needle fixing part for inserting and fixing the needle part; A control unit controlling the operation of the suction unit and the plurality of needle units; An electrical energy transfer unit electrically connected to the plurality of needle units to transfer electrical energy; An electron energy generator for generating electric energy transferred to the plurality of needle parts through the electric energy transmitter; And a storage unit which stores a parameter table of electrical energy according to any one of an impedance value, a temperature value, a voltage, and a current for determining the electrical energy applied through the electrical energy generator.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, a parameter table having a target temperature and electrical energy according to any one of an internal impedance value, an internal body temperature value, a voltage, and a current is formed (S210).

At this time, the parameter table stores the electrical energy that can effectively deliver the target temperature in the body according to any one of the impedance value, temperature value, voltage, and current that can be obtained in the body through the measurement current.

Next, the target temperature is set (S220). At this time, the step of setting the target temperature, by using a suction unit further comprises the step of converting the target site into a vacuum state.

In addition, the target temperature is expressed as a level or a watt according to a temperature range.

The method of applying electric energy to a human body treatment site using the skin care device according to an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the skin care device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and may be applied to a skin care device to which electrical energy is applied.

At this time, it is checked whether the skin treatment apparatus needle part is inserted into any one of the impedance value, the temperature value, the voltage, and the current checked through the measured current. At this time, if the needle portion is not inserted, impedance value, temperature value, voltage, and current do not occur.

Therefore, if any one of the impedance value, the temperature value, the voltage, and the current does not occur, electric energy is not generated to increase stability.

That is, the impedance value, the temperature value, the voltage, and the current are suitable as a reference for referring to electrical energy according to the correlation with each other.

For example, if the same measurement current is applied, the current varies according to the measured impedance value, so that the impedance value, the current value, or the same result can be obtained.

In addition, the check of any one of the impedance value, the temperature value, the voltage, and the current is designated according to a user specification. For example, if the impedance value is checked and the user does not initialize it, the subsequent electrical energy application is applied based on the first impedance value or the temperature value.

If any one of impedance value, temperature value, voltage, and current is checked before applying electric energy, it can take a long time to operate, so that the skin treatment time can be shortened by adjusting the time interval for applying the measurement current. have.

Finally, the electrical energy according to any one of the impedance value, the temperature value, the voltage, and the current is applied to the human tissue (S250).
