Description

[0001] Portable plasma skin treating apparatus [0002]

The present invention relates to a portable plasma skin treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a portable plasma skin treatment apparatus which irradiates skin with ions activated from primary and secondary plasmas generated from a plasma generating unit to provide skin treatment, skin regeneration, To a portable plasma skin treatment apparatus that can be applied to scalp for hair loss in skin beauty.

Generally, a plasma is composed of ions, neutrons and electrons charged to the anode. The plasma is divided into a thermal equilibrium plasma and a thermal non-equilibrium plasma. Here, thermal equilibrium means that all particles including cations, neutrons and electrons have the same temperature.

Plasma can also be divided into local thermal equilibrium (LTE) and non-local thermal equilibrium (non-LTE), where the classification is generally related to the pressure of the plasma. The term local thermal equilibrium means that the temperature of all of the plasma particles is the same thermodynamic state in the local region of the plasma.

The high plasma pressure induces a large number of particles to collide per unit time, which allows enough energy to be exchanged between the particles that make up the plasma, thus bringing the plasma particles to the same temperature.

While low plasma pressures result in one or more temperatures of the plasma particles due to insufficient collisions between the plasma particles.

In non-local thermal equilibrium or simple non-thermal plasma, the temperature of electrons is raised to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, but the temperatures of ions and neutrons are usually less than 100 degrees centigrade. Therefore, non-local thermal equilibrium plasma can be used as a highly reactive means for strong and flexible applications without the consumption of large energy.

This "hot coolness " provides various processes that are economical and applicable to various applications. Powerful applications include metal deposition systems and plasma cutting, and flexible applications include plasma surface cleaning systems and plasma displays.

One such application is plasma sterilization, which destroys microorganisms containing highly resistant bacterial spores. Sterilization is the final step to ensure the safety of medical devices and finally used fabrics.

In general, acne is treated with ointment or oral medication, but it is limited to the treatment of inflammation, a symptom that is mainly caused by acne. Some ointments contain ingredients to sterilize the causative organism that causes acne, but there is considerable doubt about its effectiveness.

Therefore, there is a need for a complex skin care device that can apply the skin massage function together with scalp care for hair loss as well as a medical tool for eradicating the bacteria attached to the face or the skin
