Description

Plasma handpiece using plasma that can beautify and regenerate skin using plasma and plasma generating device using the same {plasma handpiece using plasma that can treat skin beauty and skin regeneration and plasma generating apparatus using the same}

The present invention relates to a plasma handpiece for skin beauty and skin regeneration using a plasma and a plasma generating apparatus using the same. More specifically, it is possible to use a mixture of different heterogeneous gases, and to efficiently control the plasma generation position. The present invention relates to a plasma handpiece capable of skin beauty and skin regeneration by using plasma having improved durability and efficiency of skin beauty and skin regeneration treatment, and a plasma generating apparatus using the same.

Plasma is composed of a collection of negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions. When energy is given to a solid state material at normal temperature and normal pressure to make it high temperature, it becomes dissolved and becomes liquid state, and when it is given more energy to make high temperature, it evaporates to become gaseous state. It becomes a plasma state with a higher energy state called the fourth state of matter.

As such, since plasma has a high energy state, studies on various uses using plasma have been conducted, and recently, plasma energy has been found to have an excellent effect on skin regeneration.

The plasma for skin regeneration does not damage the skin epidermis, which acts as a protective layer until new skin is regenerated because energy is delivered only to the tissue structure in the skin to be treated without directly contacting the skin.

In addition, the skin is continuously regenerated instead of being temporary, so you can see the effects that continue to improve over time.

Therefore, as a therapeutic effect, it improves wrinkles and tightens the skin, and has a comprehensive skin care treatment effect such as improving skin tone, texture, and pigment, and there is no pain when treating, and evenly spreads plasma energy evenly on the whole face. It can be investigated, providing a versatile treatment for curved skin shapes, especially around the mouth and around the cheekbones around the eyes. In addition, plasma is known to have an excellent effect in the treatment of wounds.

In order to effectively apply the skin care and skin regeneration using such a plasma has been studied a device using a variety of plasma.

The touch object may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen or a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like.

The manipulation unit 120 may function as a user input unit that provides a user input interface, and may also provide an output interface.

In addition to the operation related to the application program, the controller 130 typically controls the overall operation of each component. The controller 130 may provide or process information or functions appropriate to a user by processing signals, data, information, or the like input or output through the components or driving an application program stored in a memory.

In addition, the controller 130 may control at least some of the components of FIG. 2 to drive a program stored in the memory. As described above, the controller 130 processes data (or information) corresponding to the touch input through the manipulation unit 120, and further outputs visual information corresponding to the processed data to the manipulation unit 120.

The control unit 130 is, for example, WINDOWS CE-based operating system, the flow control unit 143, monitoring of the pneumatic sensor 152 and the separate output control regulator 153 and pneumatic solenoid valve 151, inert gas The amount of feed and the amount to be mixed can be controlled.

When a variety of skin beauty and skin regeneration procedure programs are selected through the operation unit 120, for example, a user selects a skin regeneration procedure program, and among the selected skin regeneration procedures programs, atopic treatment, wrinkle improvement, scar treatment, and burn treatment If any one is selected, the controller 130 controls the output control regulator 153 and the pneumatic solenoid valve 151 according to the selected procedure program, so that the first inert gas nitrogen gas and the second inert gas argon gas are respectively. It may be injected individually or controlled to mix the nitrogen gas and argon gas.

In this case, for example, when only nitrogen gas is used for atopy treatment, the controller 130 controls each component so that only one gas is output to output plasma using only nitrogen gas. Even if argon gas is to be mixed and output, it is to control each component.

According to each procedure program, each injection amount or mixture amount of nitrogen gas and argon gas is stored in a memory (not shown), and various procedure programs can be continuously updated.

The plasma driver 170 may configure an inverter type power generator of 4 kV and 250 mA through voltage switching at 30 kHz after changing the input power to DC form by applying the prevolt. In the case of other equipment, since the power of 60Hz input from the power transformer is boosted and used, the final output stage shows a large ripple due to the low switching frequency. The plasma driving unit 170 of the present invention performs the ripple through high voltage switching. This significantly lowers the life of the load components connected to the output stage, and provides the advantage of accurate output control, fast feedback and high efficiency output.

In other words, the conventional skin care plasma apparatus was used only for skin care using a single gas. Conventional dermatologists have used a plasma device for skin care, but there was an uncomfortable problem of replacing gas or using another plasma device for use for therapeutic purposes.

The hybrid plasma apparatus 100 capable of skin care and skin regeneration treatment according to the present invention has the advantage that a skin care and skin regeneration treatment program can be simultaneously used in one device.

In addition, depending on the type of skin treatment (regeneration, beauty), for example, atopy treatment, wrinkle improvement treatment, scar treatment, burn treatment, the mixing ratio of various gases (argon gas, nitrogen gas) can be adjusted differently, and skin rejuvenation treatment The treatment effect can be maximized, and if only one device is provided, skin beauty treatment and skin regeneration treatment can be performed at the same time, thereby increasing the convenience of the user as a doctor.
