Hair loss prevention hat {CAP FOR LOSE HAIR PREVENTION}

The present invention relates to a hair loss prevention hat, and more particularly, to a hair loss prevention hat that enables hair loss prevention and hair growth promotion by activating the tissue of the scalp by irradiating a low power laser light.

Hair is an appendage to the skin and is genetically metabolic because it changes in the epidermis. Hair undergoes a new-growth-regression-dropout cycle where the life span of the hair is 5-6 years. Therefore, in order to maintain the voluminous hair, the life of the hair should be long, as well as after the hair loss, the new born hair must be born and start to grow.

Alopecia is a disease in which hair that normally grows is lost due to any cause.The male hormone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the catalysis of 5α-reducing element and then combined with the androgen receptor, which causes It is known to reduce hair follicle function and damage blood vessels, causing hair loss. The causes of hair loss include genetic factors, imbalance of hormone secretion, mental stress, environmental pollution, blood circulation disorders of the scalp, malnutrition, disease, immune disorders, taking anticancer and antithyroid drugs, oral contraceptives, and hair washing habits. And so on.

Treatment of alopecia, such as masculine alopecia (a condition in which hair loss begins on the frontal and frontal heads of the head, gradually enlarges, thin and weak hairs first, and eventually disappears), is used to treat hair loss completely B. There are surgical methods and drug treatments in which hair follicles are removed from the side of the head and transplanted into the hair loss area. Currently commercially available hair regrowth or wool is developed to improve the blood circulation of the skin and to nourish the hair root, but these are all non-medicinal products, such as cosmetics, such as quasi-drugs have not been proven effective.

In recent years, it has been known that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been developed, as it is known that irradiation of a specific wavelength of light to biological tissues promotes metabolism and activates tissue functions. In low power laser therapy, when low power laser light is irradiated to the living body, it penetrates the living tissue and excites the molecules of the cell, thereby increasing the production of capillaries, increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, collagen and ATP ( It is known to exhibit effects such as promoting the production of Adenosine Triphosphate), increasing the activity of lymphoids, promoting granulation (tissue granulation), and activating phagocytosis.
