Description

HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL TREATMENT EQUIPMENT}

The present invention relates to a high frequency electrotherapy, and more particularly, to a digitally controlled high frequency electrotherapy.

Recently, the interest in health is gradually increasing on the background of rich material civilization. In addition, the development of various adult diseases due to the change in dietary culture and lack of exercise has brought a lot of attention to health, accordingly a variety of functions and types of beauty-related devices have been developed and widely used. Electrotherapy is one of them.

Electrotherapy can be defined as a field of medical science that diagnoses and treats diseases using electricity such as direct current, alternating current, and pulsating current.

The types of electrical therapy include medical galvanism treatment, iontoporesis, electrical stimulation theraphy (EST), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimualtion (TENS) treatment, and functional electrical stimulation treatment. (FES), interferential current therapy (ICT) treatment, shortwave diathermy (SWD) treatment, microwave diathermy (MWD) treatment, and ultrasound treatment.

Such electrotherapy is used for the treatment of musculoskeletal damage and diseases, neurological damage and diseases, circulatory diseases, skin diseases, medical diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases.

As such, the greatest advantage of the treatment method using the electronic energy is known as a therapy that uses the phenomenon and characteristics of the body to produce an electrical change in the human body by electrical stimulation from the outside, which is useful for the treatment.

By the way, electrotherapy has a significant difference in function depending on the waveform of the frequency, the current, the strength of the current, the application site and the like. In particular, different reactions occur depending on the structure, size, material or application time of the plate to be applied to the body, and the combination with the current-carrying fluid and the related antibiotic.

Capacitive and resistive electrical transfer therapies produce several biological effects. In other words, increasing the internal temperature allows vasodilation, which simultaneously maintains the biological phenomena associated with the vitality of living tissue, increases blood circulation, improves the supply of nutrients and oxygen, improves intracellular respiration and toxic components. will stimulate the release of catabolin.

Conventional electrotherapy is an output device for applying electrical stimulation to specific parts of the body such as waist, abdomen, legs, shoulders, soles, etc., to be used by attaching a number of small ceramic pads. It is designed to deliver electric stimulation to the body by supplying regular low frequency signals with frequency characteristics.

In particular, the ceramic pad is to be attached to the body using an adhesive or a belt to the frequency input terminal under the control of experts, and for this reason it is limited to use only in certain medical institutions, such as hospitals, it is impossible to use in a general home. The electrotherapy device having a pad-type input terminal has a side effect of being burned or electric shock when a high frequency voltage is applied.

In addition, since the frequency of the current generated during the electrotherapy is not easy to resonate with the human body, the desired therapeutic effect is not obtained.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a high-frequency electrotherapy device that generates a high frequency resonance with the human body without the side effects of burns or electrotherapy.

In addition, the present invention provides a high-frequency electrotherapy device easy to resonate with the human body by forming a regular waveform digitally.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of a high frequency electrotherapy device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the contact electrode 20 and the face plate 30 are coupled to the main body 10.

Hereinafter, the operation principle of the above-described high frequency electrotherapy device will be described.

The thermal energy dissipation principle generates bioheat by high frequency current. The biothermal energy temperature is 42 ° C to 46 ° C, and the thermal energy transfer degree is up to 20 mm deep.

The high frequency electrotherapy device is a device for flowing a current through the treatment electrode by alternating electrostatic coupling by modulating a high frequency current having a high voltage of 50 to 500 V and a frequency of 0.2 to 0.4 MHz into a special current waveform.

The therapeutic electrode is an insulated electrode type which is covered with an insulating thin film having excellent mechanical strength and no pinhole on a circular metal electrode. Since the therapeutic electrode contacts the human body in a completely insulated state, a current does not flow directly into the human body so that no burn is generated in the human body.

The fully insulated therapeutic electrode forms an AC electrostatic bond between the therapeutic electrode and the skin by a high frequency current waveform of 0.2-0.4 MHz, allowing current to flow into the living body.

Since the skin is protected by a poorly conductive stratum corneum, it is necessary to optimally maintain the depth effect by using a high frequency alternating current which is effective for deep tissue below the dermis layer passing through the epidermal layer of the skin.

Thus, high frequency currents of 0.2 to 0.4 MHz are modulated into optimal waveforms using FETs to achieve maximum thermal effects while maintaining optimal depth effects.

The high frequency current passing through the epidermal layer of the skin flows up to 1 A (most preferably 0.1 to 0.3 A) of current to the counter electrode. The thermal effect generated at this time generates a thermal effect of 9.6 cal per second and the thermal effect of about 35 Kcal per hour as shown in the following equation.

H = 0.24I ² Rt (I = 0.2A, R = 1 × 103, t = 1sec) = 9.6cal (when current is set to 200mA)

This thermal effect occurs in deep tissue in contact with the therapeutic electrode, which is denser than the counterplate.

This heat generated by the thermal effect is used in a variety of treatments. The stimulation of the metabolism of the organs is activated by applying electrical stimulation to the part of the acupuncture points through which the electrical energy of the human body is best communicated, and the clinic through the cell regeneration and activation of each tissue of the human body as biofever is the main mechanism. This principle is the same method as traditional Chinese medicine saliva or moxibustion, and is closely related to Western medicine.

The most notable fact of the high-frequency clinic method among the types of electrotherapy is that the artificially generated biothermal can be directly acted on the cells to prolong cell senescence suppression and aging cycle, especially hair growth and erectile dysfunction. It is effective as a therapeutic device.

The principle of hair growth of high frequency electrotherapy is as follows.

Hair is the result of a change of the outermost keratin, the outermost epidermis of about 28 layers. Until the keratin turns into hair, the epidermis pit first to become a hair follicle, and the cells around the pore change into hair follicle cells. In the pores there are hair roots. The bottom of the fur hole is called a mogu because it is bulging like a ball. Furholes are pockets that cover the hair roots. The hair root is pitted inward, and it is called breast nipple. Capillary nerves and capillaries pass through the nipple, providing the hair with nutrients. Outside the dermal papilla are hair follicle cells.

The hair follicles receive various nutrients from capillaries from the breast teat to make hair and push up the already made hair. Thus hair grows as hair follicle cells divide and proliferate without break.

The cause of hair loss is that hair follicle cells supply nutrients when the scalp becomes unable to breathe due to the scalp and when capillaries that supply nutrients to hair follicle cells accumulate cholesterol in the blood or when blood circulation is caused by blood vessel contraction caused by stress. If you do not, hair loss occurs.

As described in the principle of operation of high frequency electrotherapy according to an embodiment of the present invention, a special type of current wave forms a thermal effect on the hair follicle cells located in the subcutaneous fat layer, thereby causing a blood circulation disorder due to cholesterol or stress. In addition, the blood vessels contract the capillary vessels through blood flow through blood vessel expansion and blood flow increase, thereby providing fresh nutrients to hair follicle cells.

As a result, hair follicle cells divide and proliferate to form hair, and due to the thermal effect, hair follicle cells metabolism rate is increased, and hair follicle cell division and proliferation are significantly increased.

In addition, cleansing the scalp allows the scalp to breathe, satisfying both internal and external factors. Therefore, the medicinal current generator penetrates capillaries that supply nutrition to hair follicle cells using the thermal effect of biological tissues, cleans the scalp, and promotes hair growth by increasing metabolism of hair follicle cells. In other words, by generating heat in the heart to massage the acupuncture points related to hairs scattered in the human body to induce deep fever, thereby promoting the blood flow of the pores and hair follicle cells to expand the narrowed hair follicles and pores, activating baldness by activating the hair roots And alopecia are treated.

Hereinafter, a method of using the high frequency electrotherapy device described above will be described.

First, a specific high frequency of 0.2-0.4 MHz is made by the input voltage of the high frequency electrotherapy unit body.

When the treatment electrode connected to the main body is brought into contact with the body part coated with the exclusive cream having excellent electrical conductivity, the current starts to flow through the body toward the counter electrode in fixed contact with the body part. Happens.

Thermal effects in living tissues are caused by the direct and electromagnetic effects of currents, which follow Joule's law. Therefore, the total heat generated in the tissue is proportional to the square of the average amount of current passing through the tissue, the resistance of the tissue, and the treatment time.

Low-voltage and high-voltage pulsating currents do not produce thermal effects because of their low average current, but deep-diathermy high-frequency electrotherapy using high-voltage and high-frequency currents has significant thermal effects in tissues. Heat generation in tissues depends on the position of electrode and intensity of current, but heat is generated in skin and subcutaneous fat under electrode because of relatively high resistance, and in tissues with high water content such as blood and muscle, low resistance and conductivity It is very high, so there is a large amount of current, so heat generation is selectively increased.

An increase in tissue temperature causes vasodilation, resulting in an increase in capillary blood flow. When the local temperature of the tissue rises above 42 ° C, vasodilation is induced, capillary hydrostatic pressure is increased, and the blood flow increases by 4-5 times than at rest.

The generated biothermal energy (42 ° C. to 46 ° C.) dissipates heat out of the interior and is transmitted to the contact electrode.

By the flow of electric current, electric energy governs the inside of the human body such as cells, muscles, and blood, and the contact electrode in contact with the skin surface stimulates the acupuncture points (meridian or acupuncture point) and shows the same effect as the massage needle treatment. The inside and outside are managed at the same time.

In addition, when using the above-mentioned high-frequency electrotherapy device as an erectile dysfunction treatment, it can be used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction by using deep heat by massaging the penis of a male.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear to those of ordinary knowledge.

The high frequency electrotherapy device of the present invention made as described above converts the high frequency electron energy of a special level into the core of the human body and converts it into bioenergy, and increases the natural healing power in the human body by using the generated bioenergy, in particular, hair growth and erection It is effective in treating dysfunction.
