Description

A needle for skin treatment and a skin treatment device using the same {NEEDLE FOR SKIN TREATMENT AND SKIN TREATMENT APPARATUS USING THE SAME}

The present disclosure relates to a needle for skin treatment and a skin treatment device using the same.

In recent years, as tattoos and semi-permanent makeup are popular, there is a demand for the development of a technology for accurately penetrating a colorant or drug into a desired area in a desired shape and size.

A needle is used to penetrate the skin with colorants or drugs for cosmetic tattoos or semi-permanent makeup. For example, in the case of semi-permanent makeup procedures such as eyebrows, lips, eye lines, and scalp, the skin is perforated with a needle and a colorant or drug is penetrated into the perforated skin.

In general, a needle for a tattoo or semi-permanent makeup procedure has a structure in which a plurality of needles are neatly arranged at the tip of a body and combined. Accordingly, the user holds the rod while the body of the needle is fixed to the rod, and pierces the skin using the needle at the tip of the body.

However, the conventional needle has a structure in which a plurality of needles are arranged side by side and bonded to the body to be fixed, and there is a disadvantage in that production cost increases because there are many manufacturing processes and the process of aligning and fixing the needles in a row is not easy.

In addition, since the conventional needle has a structure suitable for only drilling a hole in the skin in the form of a round bar, skin incision is not made properly. Accordingly, there is a disadvantage that the colorant or drug penetrates deep into the skin and cannot be absorbed. In addition, since the skin incision is not easy, it is difficult for the operator to incise the skin, and since tremendous pain is inflicted on the person to be treated during the skin incision, there is a disadvantage that the person being treated is reluctant to perform the procedure.

Korean Patent Publication No. 2017-0059923 (Name of the invention: Needle cartridge for easy treatment)

The present task is to provide a skin treatment needle and a skin treatment device using the same, which is easy to manufacture and can increase productivity.

The present task is to provide a skin treatment needle and a skin treatment device using the same so that the skin can be easily incised.

An object of the present invention is to provide a skin treatment needle capable of injecting a solution such as a colorant or drug into the skin more effectively, and a skin treatment device using the same.

The apparatus of the present embodiment may include a needle for injecting a solution into the skin, and a rod having the needle mounted at one end thereof and extending in an axial direction.

It may further include a connection socket clamping the needle and fastened to the rod.

It may further include a rotating sphere that is coupled to the rod and supported by the operator's hand and rotates freely with respect to the rod.

The rotating sphere may include a fixing member that is fitted and fixed to the rod, and a free member that is rotatably installed outside the fixing member and freely rotates around the rod.

The needle may include a body extending in the form of a strip, and at least one needle portion integrally formed at one end of the body.

The needle portion may include a lead extending from the body, and a blade formed at the tip of the lead to cut the skin.

A plurality of needle portions may be arranged at intervals along the body width direction.

The lead may have a sheet structure having a relatively thin thickness with respect to the length in the width direction.

The blade may be formed on at least one side along the width direction of the lead.

The blade may have a structure in which an edge is formed in a sawtooth shape through surface corrosion, and a groove-shaped crater is formed on the surface.

The needle may further include a fitting portion formed at the tip and coupled to the rod or the connection socket.

The fitting portion may have a screw thread protruding from the side end so as to be directly screwed to the rod.

According to this embodiment, since the body and the needle are integrally formed, it is structurally very simple to manufacture, and the subsequent process is significantly reduced, so that cost competitiveness can be improved through mass production.

In addition, compared to a cylindrical needle, the solution on the tip of the needle does not flow down quickly. Accordingly, after the needle holds the solution for a longer time, the needle can incise the skin and at the same time penetrate a large amount of the solution into the skin more quickly and accurately through the incision. Therefore, it is possible to maximize the effect of penetrating the solution into the skin.

In addition, in addition to the perforation effect in which the needle pierces the skin, it becomes possible to incise the skin more effectively like a scalpel. Accordingly, it is possible to perform the procedure more simply and precisely, and it is possible to minimize the pain received by the operator during the procedure.

Singular forms as used herein also include plural forms unless the phrases clearly indicate the opposite. The meaning of "comprising" as used in the specification specifies a specific characteristic, region, integer, step, action, element and/or component, and other specific characteristic, region, integer, step, action, element, component and/or group It does not exclude the existence or addition of

Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described as an example of a needle and a treatment device for penetrating a colorant into the skin for a tattoo or semi-permanent makeup procedure. The present invention is not limited thereto, and may also be applied to a procedure in which a solution such as a drug or lotion for skin care is injected into the skin. For convenience of explanation, a skin injection material such as a colorant is referred to as a solution.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the following examples are only preferred examples of the present invention and the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

1 and 2 show the configuration of a treatment apparatus according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the treatment apparatus 100 of this embodiment includes a needle 200 for injecting a solution into the skin, and a rod 300 having a needle 200 mounted at one end thereof and extending in the axial direction. Can include.

The needle 200 may be detachably coupled to the rod 300. Accordingly, if necessary, the needle 200 may be simply mounted on the rod 300 to perform a skin treatment.

The rod 300 is intended to be gripped by the operator by hand, and may be a cylindrical pipe structure that is elongated. In addition to the simple structure shown in FIG. 1, the rod 300 may have various structures such as a structure having an electric vertical reciprocating motion and a vibration function by an eccentric shaft. The rod 300 is applicable to any structural surface capable of attaching the needle 200 to the tip.

The rod 300 fixes the needle 200 to the tip. Accordingly, the operator can incise the skin and inject the solution into the skin by pressing and moving the needle 200 installed at the tip of the rod 300 to a desired portion of the skin while holding the rod 300 like a pencil.

The treatment apparatus of this embodiment may further include a connection socket 400 that clamps the needle 200 and is fastened to the rod 300. In addition, it may further include a rotating sphere 500 that is coupled to the rod 300 to rotate freely between the user's hand and the rod 300.

The connection socket 400 is an external pipe that applies pressure to open or close the slit 412 by being inserted into the jig 410 and the jig 410 having a slit 412 formed at the tip so that the needle 200 having a strip structure is inserted. It may include 420. Accordingly, when the external pipe 420 is pressed toward the front end of the jig 410, the jig 410 is tightened, and the needle 200 inserted into the slit 412 is pressed and fixed. The other end of the connection socket 400 coupled with the rod 300 may be variously deformed according to the structure of the rod 300. In this embodiment, a male screw shaft may be formed at the other end of the jig 410 so that it can be screwed into a female screw hole formed at the front end of the rod 300. Accordingly, when the jig 410 is screwed onto the rod 300, the connection socket 400 is coupled to the rod 300. And as the external pipe 420 is pushed toward the front end of the jig 410 by the rod 300, pressure is applied to the jig 410, so that the needle 200 inserted into the slit 412 of the jig 410 is pressurized and fixed.

The rotating sphere 500 includes a fixing member 510 inserted into and fixed to the rod 300, and a free member 520 that is rotatably installed outside the fixing member 510 and freely rotates around the rod 300. I can.

The fixing member 510 may be inserted into the rod 300 in a cylindrical shape and fixedly installed at an appropriate position. A contact member 530 such as a rubber ring or a rubber pad for preventing slipping with the rod 300 may be installed inside the fixing member 510. Accordingly, the fixing member 510 is fitted to the rod 300 and is closely fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the rod 300. The free member 520 is installed to be freely rotatable on the fixing member 510. A bearing member 540 may be installed between the free member 520 and the fixing member 510. Accordingly, the free member 520 may be freely rotated with respect to the rod 300 on which the fixing member 510 is installed.

The free member 520 may form a conical shape in which the outer surface is concave so as to stably adhere to a portion between the thumb and the index finger when the operator holds the rod 300 by hand as if holding the fan. The practitioner minimizes the shaking of the wrist in a state where the free member 520 installed on the rod 300 is in close contact with the hand to support it more stably, so that the rod 300 is aligned with a circular model of the size intended by the operator or according to the skin curve. Depending on the size, you can use it with precision as if drawing a circle with a compass. Accordingly, the operator can freely move the rod 300 to move the needle 200 according to the desired treatment site and shape. Therefore, even a beginner surgeon can selectively inject and color the solution into the skin at an accurate position by moving the needle 200 in a desired shape.

In particular, in the case of tattooing or semi-permanent makeup procedures, unlike procedures in which lotion or drugs are applied to the skin as a whole, the skin is selectively colored on the topical area according to the area, and the procedure must be performed consistently in the correct shape and size at the correct location. In the case of this embodiment, the rod 300 can be stably supported on the hand as described above and can be moved freely, so that precise and accurate procedures can be performed during tattoo or semi-permanent makeup procedures.

A fitting portion 212 that is fitted and coupled to the rod 300 or the connection socket 400 may be further formed at the tip of the needle 200. The fitting part 212 may be integrally formed with the needle 200. The fitting part 212 may be formed in various sizes and shapes according to the type of the rod 300 or the connection socket 400.

In addition, the fitting portion 212 may be formed with a male screw 213 having a serrated side end so that it can be directly screwed to the rod 300. Thus, by inserting the needle fitting part 212 into the female screw hole 302 at the tip of the rod 300 and rotating it, the male screw 213 of the needle is directly inserted into the female screw at the tip of the rod 300 without a separate connection socket 400. It can be fixed by screwing into the hole 302.

The solution buried in the needle of the needle 200 is injected and colored directly into the cut skin while the needle cuts the skin, so that a desired tattoo or semi-permanent makeup is accurately performed.

Hereinafter, the structure of the needle of this embodiment for injecting and coloring a solution by cutting the skin will be described.

3 is a more detailed view of a part of the needle shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the needle 200 according to the present embodiment may be formed of an integral single structure. Hereinafter, in FIG. 3, the x-axis is referred to as the width direction and the y-axis is referred to as the major axis direction.

To this end, the needle 200 of the present embodiment may include a body 210 extending in a strip shape, and at least one needle portion 220 integrally formed at one end of the body 210.

As such, the needle 200 of this embodiment can be manufactured more simply and easily as the body 210 and the needle 220 are integrally formed. In the case of a conventional needle, the needle and the body fixing the needle are separated from each other, and since a plurality of needles must be arranged side by side and fixed to the body, the structure is complicated and manufacturing is difficult.

The body 210 of this embodiment may be formed in an elongated strip structure. A strip can be understood as a structure in the form of a strip that is thin and elongated. The overall length, thickness, or width of the body 210 can be variously modified. As mentioned, a fitting portion 212 coupled to a rod or a connection socket may be integrally formed at the front end of the body 210. The body 210 may be formed of a material having rigidity and elasticity, including stainless steel. The needle portion 220 formed integrally with the body 210 may also be formed of the same material as the body 210.

As shown in FIG. 3, the needle part 220 may include a lead 222 extending from the body 210, and a blade 224 formed at a tip end of the lead 222 to cut the skin.

In this embodiment, a plurality of the needles 220 may be arranged and formed at intervals along the width direction of the body 210. The lengths of the needles 220 in the long axis direction may be the same or different from each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the length of each needle portion 220 in the long axis direction may gradually decrease or increase along the width direction of the body 210.

In addition to the above-described embodiment, only one needle 220 may be formed on the body 210. In the case of the needle 200 in which only a single needle portion 220 is formed in the body 210, the length or cross-sectional shape of the body 210 in the width direction may be modified according to the size of the single needle portion 220.

The lead 222 is integrally connected to the body 210 and extends along the long axis direction. The lead 222 is a part of the body 210 and may be formed to have the same thickness as the body 210. For example, the lead 222 may be formed by cutting the tip of the body 210. Accordingly, the lead 222 may have a flat sheet structure having a relatively thin thickness with respect to the length in the width direction.

In addition, the lead 222 may have a structure in which the length in the width direction gradually decreases from the body 210 to the outer end along the long axis direction. Accordingly, when a force is applied to the needle 200, the lead 222 of the needle portion 220 is elastically bent in a direction in which the force is applied, like a brush. Therefore, while the blade 224 formed at the tip of the lead 222 is easily moved in a desired direction, the skin can be precisely cut along the treatment direction.

A blade 224 for cutting the skin is formed at the tip of the lead 222. In this embodiment, the blade 224 may be formed only on one side of each lead 222 along the width direction of the needle 200. In addition to the above structure, the blade 224 may be formed on both sides of the lead 222 along the width direction. In the case of a structure in which the blades 224 are formed on both sides of the lead 222 in the width direction, the blades 224 on both sides can easily cut the skin no matter which direction the needle 200 proceeds.

Hereinafter, a structure in which the blade 224 is formed only on one surface of the lead 222 will be described as an example.

As shown in FIG. 4, as the lead 222 is gradually sharpened toward the front end, a blade 224 is formed at the end thereof. Accordingly, the lead 222 forms a triangular cross-sectional shape by a blade 224 formed on one side while going toward the end in a rectangular cross-sectional shape. In addition, the blade 224 of this embodiment may be formed to be bent in an arc shape as a whole. Therefore, the needle 220 of the present embodiment is sharp like a needle, and the blade 224 formed at the tip of the lead 222 may form a structure like a surgical scalpel. Accordingly, the needle part 220 of the present embodiment can cut the skin more simply and easily, such as cutting the skin with a scalpel.

As mentioned, in the case of a tattoo or semi-permanent makeup procedure, there are cases where it is necessary to quickly color the colorant by incision in the form of a scratch such as a solid line rather than perforating a hole in the skin. For example, in the case of eyebrow surgery, by making a long incision in the shape of an eyebrow and absorbing the colorant into the incision cross section, skin coloring can be achieved in a long and natural shape like an actual eyebrow.

Accordingly, the needle 200 of the present embodiment can easily cut the skin in the form of a long solid line by the needle portion 220 having the blade 224 formed like a scalpel. In addition, during the skin incision process, the operator can easily incise the skin by moving the needle unit 220 without exerting effort, and pain caused by the skin incision can also be alleviated.

Here, the needle 200 of the present embodiment has a structure in which the blade 224 of the needle 220 can cut the skin more effectively. To this end, as shown in FIG. 4, the blade 224 of the needle part 220 may have a structure in which the edge 226 is formed in a serrated shape and a plurality of craters 228 in a groove shape are formed on the surface through surface corrosion. have.

The teeth of the edge 226 of the blade 224 and the crater 228 of the surface may be irregularly formed. In this embodiment, the edge 226 and the surface of the blade 224 may be formed through an etching process. The etching process is a surface processing method by the corrosive action of chemicals, and since many techniques have been disclosed for this, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, in addition to the etching process, various processes may be applied as long as the edge 226 of the blade 224 is formed in a serrated shape and the crater 228 can be formed on the surface.

Accordingly, in the needle 200 of the present embodiment, the blade 224 of the needle portion 220 formed roughly like a saw cuts the skin, thereby making it easier to cut the skin. In addition, the cut-out cross section of the skin by the serrated blade 224 forms a very rough shape. That is, the skin is cut to have a rough cross section by the blade 224. Therefore, the solution can penetrate and permeate more quickly and effectively into the cross section of the roughly cut skin.

In addition, as the solution permeates into the crater 228 formed on the surface of the blade 224, the solution remains in the crater 228. In this state, when the blade 224 cuts the skin, the blade 224 is inserted into the skin and at the same time, the solution accumulated in the crater 228 is injected directly into the skin. Accordingly, it is possible to more quickly and effectively penetrate the solution into the skin.

In this way, the needle 200 of the present embodiment can cut the skin and penetrate the skin into the skin quickly and effectively unlike the conventional skin treatment needle. Therefore, a desired tattoo or semi-permanent makeup can be effectively performed even with a single procedure.

Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described as described above, various modifications and other embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art. These modifications and other embodiments are all considered and included in the appended claims and will not depart from the true spirit and scope of the present invention.
