Description

Plasma discharge mask < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a plasma discharge mask, and more particularly, to a plasma discharge mask capable of discharging plasma using light emitted from an LED module and treating skin cosmetics or skin diseases of the face as discharged plasma .

In recent years, a method of using cosmetics has been widely used as a method for managing the facial skin so as not to lose its elasticity so as to maintain its youthfulness and beauty.

However, since a protective barrier is formed as a thick protein protective layer under the stratum corneum of the skin epidermis and the epidermis and the dermis layer of the skin are separated by the protein protective layer, even if a cosmetic having excellent skin protection effect is added by adding biomaterials, And the nutrition of the cosmetics can not penetrate deeply into the dermis layer, so that the effect of skin protection is very poor.

In order to solve these problems, various skin beauty devices have recently been provided for skin care using galvanic ion current, far-infrared rays, or vibration.

However, in the conventional skin beauty device, since the beauty care device must be kept in contact with the user's face while being held by the user, there has been a problem in operation.

On the other hand, there is provided a mask-type skin beauty device for treating a disease of a facial skin and simultaneously realizing facial skin beauty by irradiating light in a state of being worn like a mask on the face in consideration of the above problems.

The phototherapy for treatment of skin diseases uses a variety of light sources such as sunlight, laser, fluorescent lamp and ultraviolet lamp to irradiate light to the skin, and by using the principle of promoting the biochemical reaction in the skin, Or destruction of damaged skin.

Among them, the LED light source can be irradiated to a disease area of a wide area with an appropriate light output unlike the high power laser, and the skin treatment technique using the LED light source is similar to the principle that sunlight is converted into plant cells through chlorophyll in plants The LED light source is irradiated to induce a photo-biochemical reaction between skin cells.

Such light therapy using LED light sources is based on the photon of the LED light source being absorbed into the pigment or the photoreceptor in the cell tissue and promoting the metabolism of the cell.

The light absorbed by the cells increases the synthesis of ROS and ATP in the cell tissue, and the cells exposed to red light and near-infrared light emit NO.

As a result, LED light irradiation into the cell activates the overall metabolic activity of the cell and plays a major role in cell regeneration and rehabilitation.

In addition, LED light irradiation promotes the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, suppresses the occurrence of wrinkles, and makes the skin moist and elastic.

In addition, LED light irradiation has a considerable effect in the treatment of skin diseases. For example, when an LED light, particularly a blue LED light, is applied to a skin area where acne has occurred, the bacteria causing acne are eliminated and inflammation The effect of improving the overall condition of the skin is obtained.

On the other hand, in recent years, a plasma is also generated in addition to the LED light irradiation having the above-mentioned effect, so that there is a growing demand for more effective mask-type skin-beauty apparatus.
