Description

Hair Loss Manager {ALOPECIA PREVENTING APPARATUS}

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

According to the International Association of Scalp Hair Experts, modern people suffer from various hair loss factors in addition to genetic factors. In addition, compared to the past, when hair loss was limited to men only, in recent years due to hormonal imbalance, anemia, diet, childbirth, and the like, the hair loss of women is increasing.

Conventionally, hormonal treatment or drug treatment is used to solve this problem. However, in the case of drug treatment that injects steroids and the like on the hair loss site, it may be applied depending on the allergic reaction to the drug or whether the drug can be injected due to other diseases. An impossible situation occurs. In addition, such drug treatment does not provide a fundamental treatment method, but also increases the cost of continuous treatment, thereby increasing the economic burden of alopecia patients. In addition, it was impossible to prevent such treatments before the disease developed.

Therefore, in recent years, the need for a hair loss management device capable of preventing hair loss and smoothing hair growth by regenerating or activating cells without additional drug administration has emerged.

Figure 2 is a front view of the hair loss management device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments. However, these examples are intended to illustrate the present invention in more detail, the scope of the present invention can be easily implemented by this, it can be seen that all such modifications and changes are included in the scope of the present invention.

Hair loss refers to a condition in which there is no hair in the area where hair should normally be present, and generally means that the virgin hair of the scalp is lost. Unlike virgin hair, which has no color and is thin, it can cause cosmetic problems. Koreans with lower hair density than Westerners have 50,000 to 70,000 hairs, and about 50 to 70 hairs per day are normal. Therefore, if the number of hair that falls out after sleeping or washing the hair is more than 100, it is most likely caused by a pathological cause. Hair loss can be divided into two types: clinically formed scars and non-formed hair loss. Hair loss that forms scars does not cause hair regeneration due to destruction of hair follicles, whereas hair loss that does not form scars causes hair follicles to remain. The hair regenerates after the site disappears. Non-scarring alopecia without scar formation include hereditary androgenetic alopecia (baldness), circular baldness, ringworm ringworm due to fungal infections, resting hair loss, hair loss walls, hair development disorders, and scarring hair loss. Hair loss due to lupus, toxin folliculitis, follicular lichen planus, hair loss due to burns and trauma. The most common alopecia are alopecia areata and baldness, all of which do not develop scars. Hair loss diseases include high frequency baldness (male alopecia), female alopecia, alopecia areata, and resting alopecia.

Although there are various causes of alopecia, alopecia areata is inferred as an autoimmune disorder, and alopecia areata is a temporary hair loss that occurs after severe physical and mental stresses such as endocrine diseases, nutritional deficiencies, drug use, childbirth, fever and surgery. Occurs because some of them do not meet their growth period and fall off.

The present invention prevents hair loss due to blood circulation disorders of the scalp among the various causes of hair loss, and helps to prevent hair loss by aiding the absorption of a drug for treating hair loss. That is, the hair follicle cells of the hair to fill the original growth period of the cycle of growth, degeneration, and resting phase, facilitate hair growth, and activate the cells and expand blood vessels by irradiation and electrical stimulation of the light source 150 Improve blood circulation and return damaged tissue to normal.

1 is a perspective view of a hair loss management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1a is an exploded perspective view showing the back of the hair loss management, Figure 1b is a perspective view showing the front of the hair loss management.

Hair loss management device according to the present invention, as shown in Figures 1a and 1b, the head 114 including the front plate 114a and the back plate 114b, and connected to the head 114 can be gripped A housing 110 separated by a handle 112 formed to be formed;

An electrode rod (120) installed on the front plate (114a) of the head (114) of the housing (110) to protrude along the edge of the front plate (114a) and applying a stimulus to the scalp;

An electrode rod fastening plate 130 coupled to the electrode rod 120, installed in the head 114 of the housing 110, and coupled with a vibrator 132 for applying vibration;

A control button 140 mounted on the housing 110 to control driving of the electrode 120 and the vibrator 132; And

And a light source 150 coupled radially inward from the electrode 120 in the front plate 114a of the head 114.

The hair loss 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 apply the frequency or current of the current applied to the electrode 120. Etc. can be adjusted. In addition, the vibration of the electrode 120 may be selected. Oval-shaped head 114 is divided into a front plate (114a) and a back plate (114b), the electrode plate 120 is formed through the front plate (114a) of the head 114, the back plate of the head 114 The handle 112 is connected to the 114b. In this case, the electrode rods 120 are provided in a line along the edge of the front plate 114a of the head 114. The end of the electrode 120 in direct contact with the scalp is formed in a curved surface to prevent the scalp from being scratched by the pointed surface.

Since the electrode fastening plate 130 provided in the housing 110 maintains contact with the vibrator 132, the electrode rod coupled to the electrode fastening plate 130 by the electrode fastening plate 130 when the vibrator 132 is driven. Vibration is transmitted to 120. Therefore, the blood circulation of the scalp may be smoothly progressed while massaging the scalp, and when the nutrient solution is applied to the scalp, the nutrient solution may be smoothly absorbed into the scalp by the vibration of the electrode 120.

Here, it is preferable that the head 114 especially has an elliptical shape. That is, when applied to the scalp, which is curved, it can be easily applied to the back of the ear or behind the neck. In particular, the head 114 is preferably formed so that the long axis of the elliptical head 114 coincides with the vertical direction of the hair loss managing device.

In addition, since the head 114 is applied to the scalp of the curved surface, even if the curvature varies depending on the application position, the electrode 120 may be in constant contact with the scalp and at a constant distance from the light source 150. The front plate 114a of the head 114 may be formed of a flexible material that can be bent. That is, the front plate 114a may be concave at the position where the skull protrudes, so that the light source 150 installed on the front plate 114a may be separated from the scalp. In addition, the front plate (114a) is convexly provided in the position where the skull is concave, such as hide bone, it can be closer to the separation distance to the scalp. Therefore, in practice, the light source 150 and the scalp can be maintained within a certain range.

Here, the electrode rods 120 are arranged in a line along the edge of the front plate 114a of the head 114. Therefore, light is irradiated to the scalp from the light source 150 to the electrode 120 so that there is no obstacle. In addition, the electrode 120 is surface-treated to reflect the light, thereby preventing the light from generating a blind spot according to the irradiation angle of the light, and reflects the light from the electrode 120, the light source 150 for the same time When irradiating light, the light irradiation effect can be maximized. In particular, by titanium coating the electrode 120, it is possible to prevent the allergy to occur in the skin when the electrode 120 is in direct contact with the scalp.

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

First, when the electrode 120 is monopolar, the housing 110 is fastened to expose the grounding band electrically connected to the electrode 120 along the periphery of the handle 112. Therefore, the ground belt is in contact with the human body and the electricity flowing along the human body through the scalp is electrically coupled to the ground belt through the palm. For example, when the negative electrode is charged to the electrode 120 and the positive electrode is charged to the ground strip, electricity flowing along the human body through the scalp in contact with the electrode 120 is returned to the positive electrode in the handle 112 through the palm of the hand. do. When the hair loss manager operated by the same principle is applied to the scalp coated with cosmetics or effective drugs having a negative potential, the material applied into the scalp along the flow of negative electrons by the repulsive force by the negative electrode charged on the electrode 120. This is forced. In the opposite case, negatively charged drugs or wastes are discharged outwards.

This action is also used when currents of low, medium and high frequency wavelength bands are applied. For example, in the case of a low frequency current of 1 Hz to 1 kHz, when the electrode 120 is shorted and a low frequency current flows, the electrode is divided into the electrode 120 and the ground strip. When a current is applied to the grounding band in this manner, the current flows to the entire area where the electrode 120 is in close contact, thereby stimulating the muscles, thereby causing muscle contraction in a position in close contact with the electrode 120. When the current flows in the mid-frequency wavelength band of 1 kHz to 100 kHz in such a monopolar manner, deep heat is generated in addition to the muscle contraction action, thereby increasing blood circulation. Deep fever occurs when the water molecules constituting the skin tissue vibrate rapidly with frequency, causing friction with each other. When a high frequency current of 100 kHz or more flows, the depth of deep heat generation becomes deeper.

2 is a front view of the head 114 of the hair loss management device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, the electrode 120 may be formed in a bipolar type, in addition to the monopolar type described above. That is, the electrode rod 120 may be provided as an anode of a positive electrode and a negative electrode. In this case, there is no need for a separate grounding strip. When the electrode 120 is provided in a bipolar form, the electrode 120 is divided into two poles, so that current flows between the electrodes 120 to stimulate the scalp. At this time, the electrode 120 is divided into half based on the centerline (c) of the head 114 coincident with the long axis of the head 114 formed in an elliptical shape so that current flows only between the electrodes 120 separated to the left and the right. will be.

Here, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are provided at positions facing each other, as shown in FIG. 2, so that the distance is maintained at a predetermined interval or more, so that the magnetic poles caused by the current flowing between the two electrodes are confined to a narrow area or stinged with a needle. Allow for smooth muscle contraction without causing pain. Thus, the stimulation of these currents activates the cells and allows blood to circulate smoothly. In this case, the electrode 120 may be formed so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode are formed in the position facing each other in one channel, but in order to maximize the area where the stimulation caused by the current in the scalp located between the electrode 120 It may be provided with two or more channels for generating the cathode. The channel is such that current flows only between the anode and the cathode between the same channels. That is, when the first channel CH1 and the second channel CH2 are provided in the electrode 120 as in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the cathode CH1 of the first channel and the anode CH2 + of the second channel are provided. ), Or no current flows between the anode CH1 + of the first channel and the cathode CH2- of the second channel, and only the anode and cathode CH1 + and CH1- of the first channel and the cathode and cathode of the second channel The current flows only between (CH2 +, CH2-).

Therefore, the area where the current flows is wider than that of the single channel, so that the scalp can be evenly massaged. In particular, by providing the anode and the cathode in a position facing each other and at the same time arranged in the electrode 120 so that the channels alternately, the distance between the electrode 120 through which the current flows can be more than a predetermined distance. That is, by making the distance between the electrode rods 120 through which the electric current flows, the electric current flows only in a very small portion, or the puncturing pain can be prevented from being transmitted to the scalp. For example, when the first channel CH1 and the second channel CH2 are provided, the electrode rods 120 connected to the second channel CH2 are disposed on both sides of the electrode rods 120 connected to the first channel CH1. It is provided. That is, channels connected to the electrode 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 figure, the electrodes 120 are alternately arranged so that the anode and the cathode are formed at positions facing each other with respect to the center of the head 114, such that the electrodes 120 are formed between the same channels. Looking at the path of the current passing through it can be seen that the movement path of the current between each channel is arranged to cross each other. Therefore, not only the distance between the electrode rods 120 through which electricity is passed can be arranged more than a predetermined distance, but also an increase in the area where muscle contraction occurs due to electric current, thereby maximizing the hair loss prevention effect. When the electrode 120 is provided in a bipolar form, a low frequency, a medium frequency, and a high frequency current may be applied to the electrode 120 as well. In particular, the hair loss managing device according to the present invention can apply a current of a medium frequency of 1kHz to 100kHz to the electrode 120, so that deep heat is generated on the scalp and muscle contraction occurs.

Although the electrode 120 is described as being provided with two channels, it may be provided with two or more channels.

In addition, the light source 150 is coupled to the front plate 114a of the head 114, and the LD 152 and the LED 154 may be used as the light source 150 coupled to the front plate 114a. In an embodiment of the present invention, the light source 150 includes the LD 152 at the center of the head 114, and the LED 154 is provided at the radially outer side with respect to the LD 152. In particular, the LED 154 is provided radially outward along the direction of the center line c of the elliptical head 114. Since the LD 152 emits a stronger light than the LED 154, the scalp preheated by the LED 154 may regenerate the skin more smoothly by the action of the LD 152. At this time, the light source 150 may be irradiated with one or more wavelengths of the wavelength range of 380nm to 460nm, and 600nm to 700nm. In the case of light in the wavelength range of 380nm to 460nm, it has the effect of killing acne bacillus by excitation of porphyrin, a metabolite of acne bacilli, which can reduce sebum in seborrheic scalp pores and suppress inflammation in pores, thereby treating or preventing hair loss. . In addition, in the case of light in the wavelength range of 600nm to 700nm, the penetration into the skin has not only a thermal effect and an anti-inflammatory effect, but also an effect of regenerating and activating the skin. In addition, it produces capillary cells to help circulate blood, supply oxygen to the scalp and pores, and remove waste products. Therefore, by adjusting the wavelength of the light emitted from the LED 154 and the LD 152 mounted on the hair loss managing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to prevent hair loss by helping to regenerate as well as inhibit inflammation.

In addition, by forming a part or the whole of the electrode 120 in contact with the scalp tourmaline to the waste material of the scalp even in the process of operating only the light source 150 or only vibration in the absence of current applied to the electrode 120 It can also help to remove blood flow to the scalp at the same time.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art, however, that these examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
