Combining the configurations shown in FIG. 2A in turn results in a handpiece 300 as shown in FIG. 2C.

3 illustrates an internal configuration diagram of the main body 200 of FIG. 1A. The main body 200 shown in FIG. 3 receives a power supply of DC 6V flowing through the adapter 100 and supplies a power supply circuit 10 for supplying the power required for the operation of each component in the main body 200, and a power source "on". (ON) / off (OFF) ", a plurality of button operation unit 20 for manipulating the laser output intensity, start operation, and the like. The power supply circuit 10 includes a rectifying unit 11 for rectifying the DC 6V and a charging unit 12 for charging the rectified DC 6V and using the battery without connecting the adapter 100. The main body 200 of FIG. 3 also has a built-in timer 31 for counting the operation time and receives a signal according to the user button operation of the operation unit 20. The microcomputer 30 for controlling the operation of each component as a whole. And a laser generator 40 for generating a laser of 650 nm wavelength at an intensity of 3, 4, or 5 GHz. On the other hand, the main body 200 of FIG. 3 includes a display circuit 50 consisting of a time display unit 51 for displaying the operation time under the control of the microcomputer 30 and an operation display unit 52 for displaying the operation state on and off. Under the control of (30) is provided with a buzzer driving unit (60) for sending out a buzzer sound through the instruction sound window (61) to inform the timing of the laser irradiation position movement.

Operation of the medical laser syringe of the present invention having such a configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

First, before use, press the "OK" button 24 of the operation start button of the operation unit 20 to check the operation of the main body 200. The microcomputer 30 starts operation when the "OK" button 24 is pressed to turn on the operation display unit 52 of the display circuit 50 to indicate that it is in operation. At this time, the microcomputer 30 blinks the yellow LED of the operation display unit 52 when charging is necessary due to insufficient battery power of the power supply circuit 10 to allow the user to charge. When the operation display unit 52 on the display circuit 50 disposed on the front of the main body 200 is blinking a yellow LED, the user determines that charging is necessary and inserts the adapter 100 into an AC 220V-only outlet, 100 is plugged into the socket 210 of the main body 200 to charge. The adapter 100 converts the single-phase power of AC 220V 60 로 to DC 6V through a smoothing action and supplies it to the main body 200. The power supply circuit 10 of the main body 200 rectifies the DC 6V power flowing from the adapter 100 through the rectifying unit 11, and charges the charging unit 12 with the DC 6V that has been passed through the rectifying unit 11. The microcomputer 30 controls the green LED of the operation display unit 52 to light up in the charging state, and controls the yellow LED to light up when the charging is completed, so that the user can easily visually recognize the charging state. Even during charging, pressing the "OK" button 24, which is an operation start button of the operation unit 20, can be used two times in succession.

In the state where the main body 200 can be operated, the user fixes the handpiece 300 with the forceps 330 to be fixed to the skin, and then presses the power ON button 21 of the operation unit 20 (step 401). ). When the power "ON" button is pressed, the power supply circuit 10 supplies the power charged in the charging unit 12 to each component in the main body 200. In general, the power charged in the charging unit 12 may operate the main body 200 for 4 hours. Then, the user presses the laser output control button 23 of the operation unit 20 to select the output (step 402). The microcomputer 30 adjusts the laser power intensity, that is, the laser power in order of 3, 4, and 5 ㎽ every time the laser output control button 23 of the operation unit 20 is pressed once (step 403). That is, the user can select the output strength that is suitable for them according to their skin condition, area, or pain level. If the laser power adjustment button 23 is not pressed in step 402, the laser power control button 23 is adjusted to the previously selected intensity or the default intensity. After the laser power intensity is adjusted, the user presses the "OK" button 24 to operate the main body 200 (step 404). When the "OK" button, which is an operation start button, is pressed, the microcomputer 30 drives the laser generator 40 to generate a low intensity laser of 650 nm wavelength having a set intensity. The laser of 650 nm wavelength generated by the laser generator 40 is delivered to the head 310 side of the handpiece 300 and irradiated to the skin. Laser light changes the protein molecular crystals in the blood, which give a kind of biological response and effect by photochemical action. In this embodiment, the blood vessels in the nasal cavity (nasal) are irradiated to stimulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and contract and expand the nasal mucosa, thereby reflexively improving blood circulation in the skull and blood circulation throughout the whole body.

The microcomputer 30 counts the operation time by operating the built-in timer 31 at the same time as the laser irradiation. The operation time counted by the timer 31 is displayed on the time display section 51 of the display circuit 50. Here, the built-in timer 30 is set to 30 minutes. The microcomputer 30 checks the counting time of the built-in timer 31 to determine whether the operating time has elapsed 30 minutes (step 406). As a result of the determination in step 406, if the operation time does not exceed 30 minutes, the buzzer driving unit 60 is driven every time the skin irradiation position is moved, and a buzzer is sounded by the instruction sound window 61 to notify the user when the irradiation position is moved (step 407). ). That is, the skin irradiation position movement time can be set by pressing the "OK" button 24 according to the individual skin condition and site or pain degree. Here, set to 10, 15, 5 minutes, the microcomputer 30 drives the buzzer driver 60 at each set time so that the user can change the irradiation position. When the operation time reaches 30 minutes as a result of the determination in step 406, the microcomputer 30 stops the operation (step 408), and at this time, the microcomputer 30 turns off the lighting of the operation display unit 52 of the display circuit 50. The buzzer sounds through the instruction sound window 61 so that the user can visually recognize that the operation is finished. When the user of the main body 200 is finished, the user presses the power OFF button 22 of the operation unit 20 to turn off the power and finish the use.

As described above, the medical laser irradiator and the irradiation method of the present invention are simple and easy to damage the skin or blood vessels by adjusting the laser output intensity according to the individual skin or pain, and notifying the time of irradiation position through a buzzer sound. It has no effect and can be used safely without pain.
