However, in some embodiments of the present invention, the image therapy apparatus 100 may be configured differently from that of FIG.

The magnetic field generating unit 110 can generate a magnetic field toward the image portion of the user. For example, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator 110 may be a weak magnetic field having a magnitude of about 1 to 300 Gauss. For example, the magnetic field generating unit 110 may be a static type that generates a uniform magnetic field by supplying a constant current to the coils, a pulse type that forms a magnetic field that varies with a pulse applied to the coil, pulse type, or a burst type in which a current charged at a high pressure is instantaneously applied to a coil to form a high magnetic field. The magnetic field increases the vigor of the human blood stream, and it combines oxygen and nutrients in the blood to facilitate the metabolism that is carried to each cell tissue and organ. In addition, the magnetic field promotes circulation of blood, thereby rapidly removing waste materials in the body, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect. When the magnetic field is irradiated to the inflammation site, it regulates the microvascular tension and induces a change in the intracellular calcium ion concentration, thereby enhancing the vasorelaxation and permeability, thereby reducing edema and inflammation. In addition, if a magnetic field is irradiated on a wound site, a microcurrent is generated in a wounded tissue to act as a catalyst for ATP and protein production, thereby promoting cell restoration and healing.

The magnetic field generating unit 110 can generate a magnetic field while at least one of the first light source 120 and the second light source 130 is operating.

As another example, the first wavelength of the first light may be selected within the range of 200 nm to 400 nm. Blue light destroys bacteria and bacteria and has a germicidal effect.

And the second light source 130 can irradiate the second light having the second wavelength to the image portion of the user. For example, the second light may be selected from red light, and the second wavelength may be selected within the range of 630 nm to 670 nm.

For example, the control unit 150 generates a control signal for alternately operating at least two of the magnetic field generating unit 110, the first light source 120, and the second light source 130 according to a predetermined period . For example, when the first light source 120 operates, the controller 150 generates a control signal to cause the magnetic field generator 110 to generate a first magnetic field corresponding to the first light source 120 . The controller 150 may generate a control signal to cause the magnetic field generator 110 to generate a second magnetic field corresponding to the second light source 130 when the second light source 130 operates.

The heat insulating housing 441 may accommodate at least a part of the Peltier element 431, the second heat sink 433, the second fan 436, the fourth heat sink 438 and the second fan holder 440. More specifically, the heat insulating housing 441 may receive the second side (e.g., the cold side) of the Peltier element 431. [ Therefore, the heat insulating housing 441 of the cooling device 430 of the image treatment apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention accommodates the second surface (low temperature surface) of the Peltier element and the cooling fan to prevent diffusion of cold temperature, It is possible to prevent the phenomenon and maximize the cooling effect of the image portion.

The second temperature sensor 442 may be installed below the second fan 436. The second temperature sensor 442 can measure the temperature of the burn site. For example, the second temperature sensor 442 may include a non-contact type sensor such as an infrared temperature sensor.
