Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an ion implanter having a skin condition measurement and judgment function,

The present invention relates to an ion implanter, and more particularly, to an ion implanter which is capable of measuring skin impedance to determine a state of the skin, and a skin condition measuring and judging function of managing the skin by effectively controlling the operation of the probe unit according to the determined skin condition To an ion implanter.

A commonly used iontophoretic device is used as a skin care tool to infiltrate an ionized substance having the (+) and (-) polarities into an inner skin layer in an aqueous solution state such as vitamin C.

For example, as shown in Fig. 1, a conventional ion implanter is composed of a main body, an electric wire electrode, and a roller. The user holds the hand electrode with one hand, , The roller is brought into contact with a skin surface of a specific area such as a forehead and then massaged. Accordingly, the hand electrode becomes a (+) pole, and the roller becomes a (-) pole, so that the substance applied to the skin surface of a specific region such as the forehead of the user penetrates into the subcutaneous layer.

However, the ion implanter as described above is inconvenient to carry and is inconvenient for the user to use alone because the user must hold the hand electrode with one hand. Therefore, for example, in an office such as a beauty salon or skin care room, It is widely used as a treatment for customers.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case of a portable iontophoretic device, for example, a (-) polarity is provided on the upper surface and a (+) polarity is provided on the lower surface, ) Polarity so that the (+) polarity contacts the palm that the user holds. (-) polarity to a specific region such as a forehead of a user, so that the user can use the iontophoresis device alone. The portable iontophoretic device can be used only by the user himself / herself. That is, since the (+) polarity is formed on the palm of the user when the user holds the portable iontophorer by hand, even if the (-) polarity of the upper surface is brought into contact with the forehead of another person, (+) Pole is separated, so that the function of the ion implanter can not be performed.

In addition, when the separation distance between the region forming the (+) polarity (eg, the palm) and the region forming the (-) polarity (eg, forehead) is distant, the penetration effect of the ionic material may be lowered.

To solve this problem, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2013-0037903 discloses an ion-introducing machine having a bipolar probe head. The ion implanter with a bipolar probe head according to the related art includes a first probe and a second probe of a conductive metal material having a positive electrode probe head assembled with an insulating ring sandwiched therebetween, In addition, a DC voltage, a DC pulse, an AC pulse, etc. may be selectively applied to the first probe and the second probe so that the (-) pole and the (+) pole or the (+ .

However, since the ion implanter according to the related art can not measure or judge the skin condition of the user, there is a problem that the optimal control state can not be provided according to different skin conditions for each user.

In addition, the probes can irritate the skin, and the area of contact with the skin is so small that the conduction efficiency is lowered.
