Description

     Hair Loss Therapy using Laser {Alopecia-healing comb using LASER}

   The present invention relates to a treatment device that can massage the scalp by using vibration at the same time to treat diseases of the scalp and hair, such as hair loss prevention, hair growth promotion, dandruff, itching, etc. by a low-power laser, in particular the vibration generated in the treatment device It relates to a hair loss treatment device using a laser that maximizes the therapeutic effect by being delivered directly to the scalp.

   Hair loss due to stress and environmental pollution of modern people not only causes people to evade personal activities or social activities, but also costs a lot of treatment socially.

The exact cause of hair loss has not been determined, but genetic factors, male hormones, and stress are known to work. Male hormone itself does not cause hair loss, but due to reductase, testosterone, a male hormone,

Androgen receptor and Androgen receptor (DHT)

 It is known to damage hair follicles and damage blood vessels, causing hair loss.

In addition, there are various causes such as lack of nutrition to hair roots and stress caused by dyeing, drying and perm.

Recently, it is known that the low-power laser is irradiated to the scalp to stimulate blood cells and stimulate the circulation of heal fluids when cells are stimulated.

The lasers are classified by wavelength, including semiconductor lasers 830-900 nm, carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers 10600 nm, argon (Ar) lasers 488-514.6 nm, Andy-Yag lasers 532 nm, ruby lasers 694 nm, helium. Neon laser 632nm,

Erbium-Yag lasers 2940 nm and the like are known.

In particular, the low power laser refers to an infrared wavelength having a wavelength of up to 1400 nm in red visible light having a wavelength of 600 nm or more, and the output intensity is about 100 mW to 500 mW and the amount of energy per unit area is 0.05 to 5.0 W / Cm ² .

The principle of this treatment is When light is irradiated to the skin of the human body, the light (photon) penetrates into the skin tissue, at which time the absorbed light is converted into heat energy and the heat energy causes a heat treatment effect, especially nitric oxide is produced in the vascular endothelium. It is activated, and natural healing power is improved, tone and texture are improved, moisture is replenished, and it moisturizes, stimulates giant cells and fibroblasts, increases collagen and elastin production, increases oxygen in the bloodstream and removes toxins, thus preventing hair loss. It is known to be effective for the health of hair and hair.

Recently, a method for obtaining a low power laser from a semiconductor diode has been widely developed, which has not only miniaturized a laser treatment device but also can be easily used and commercialized as a home or a portable device.

However, such a low power laser treatment method has a current situation that the effect is less than expected by relying only on light therapy, such as a longer treatment period.

In other words, the treatment is performed in a static state in which the phototherapy device is close to the scalp area, so users cannot recognize the treatment state and feel bored easily, and rely on phototherapy instead of physically irritating the scalp, thereby promoting the activation of the scalp. As a result, the treatment period was delayed and the treatment effect was halved.

According to research published by various clinical experiments from a long time ago, scalp massage improves blood circulation of the head. Massage the scalp with fingertips or a thick brush to help metabolism of hair roots. It is known that the hair roots become stronger and require regular and continuous massage.

These scalp massages induce hair loss and hair growth by focusing on nourishing and oxygenating hair follicle cells to strengthen hair roots through capillary expansion, promoting ATP protein synthesis, and increasing blood flow. There is an additional effect of improving mental concentration and learning ability through EEG tuning by inducing mental concentration and fatigue recovery using EEG tuning method.

Recently, there was developed a hair loss treatment device using a laser and a photodiode, which was published on February 23, 2005 (10-2005-0018411). Such a selection is "a handle part is formed on one side and a plurality of parts on the other side. A case comprising a massage part provided with acupressure protrusions, a plurality of photodiode irradiating parts buried on one side of the acupressure protrusions of the case with a plurality of photodiode elements arranged at equal intervals, and on one side of the massage part of the case A laser irradiator which is embedded and emits a low power laser, a vibrator installed inside the case to vibrate the case, a controller including a photodiode irradiator, a laser irradiator, and a microcomputer to control the operation of the vibrator; Photodiode irradiator, laser irradiator, and power supply for vibration device.

However, these selections only depended on hair loss treatment using laser and photodiode, but the effect of scalp massage by vibrator was insufficient.

That is, the function of the scalp massage as the hair loss treatment device is to vibrate the entire case by a vibration motor installed in the case, and the vibration generated from the vibration motor is transmitted along the case to the acupressure protrusion directly contacting the scalp. The vibration was weak and the massage effect could not be expected greatly.

In addition, since the light irradiated from the photodiode irradiator and the laser irradiator is blocked on the hair and the amount of light irradiated to the scalp to be treated intensively is reduced, the treatment effect is eventually reduced.

There is a scalp massager equipped with a phototherapy means, which is filed by the applicant and published on August 21, 2007 (Patent Publication 10-2007-0082310), and this prior application treats the scalp with rays such as infrared rays, visible light or low power laser. In order to combine the comb teeth in the lower part of the main body with a handle coupled to the upper part, the comb teeth are formed by connecting the connection passage in the vertical direction in the vertical direction to install a photodiode at the end of the comb teeth, and to provide a vibration means inside the body will be.

The prior application was designed to enhance the therapeutic effect by massaging the scalp with a method of treating the scalp by rays such as infrared rays, visible light or low power laser, but the massage effect was insufficient due to the weak vibration transmitted to the scalp. .

That is, since the vibration means, which is the power source of vibration, is installed in the main body, the vibration generated from the motor, which is the vibration means, is unnecessarily distributed through the main body, so that the vibration transmitted to the end of the comb in direct contact with the scalp is weak. It did not work smoothly.

The present invention has been researched and developed in order to solve the above problems, there is a technical problem to increase the therapeutic effect by treating the scalp and at the same time to treat hair loss by the light of the low power laser.

Another technical problem of the present invention is that the laser is irradiated at a position close to the scalp so that the laser is not blocked by the hair.

Another technical problem of the present invention is to install vibration motors on the inside of acupressure rods for massaging the scalp, so that vibrations are acted directly on the scalp without unnecessary dispersing so that an effective treatment is achieved.

The present invention is to handle the hair loss, the handle is formed in the lower portion and the main body provided with a treatment portion in the upper front; An infrared laser generator disposed above and below the center of the treatment unit; A red laser generation unit mounted on left and right sides of the treatment unit; Acupressure members arranged in a predetermined arrangement on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the treatment part; In the known treatment device composed of a vibration motor for vibrating the shiatsu member, a device so that the light source generated in the infrared laser generator and the red laser generator is radiated to the outside through each induction unit, the vibration motor of the shiatsu member It is comprised by installing in the lower side inside.

According to the present invention, the light irradiated to the scalp by the light treatment means of the low-power laser produces a thermal effect, causing nitric oxide to be activated in the vascular endothelium and removing toxins from the bloodstream, while simultaneously capillary expansion and blood flow increase by the scalp massage. By supplying nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicle cells to strengthen the hair roots, hair loss can be suppressed, as well as hair growth can be induced to increase the therapeutic effect.

In addition, since the laser is irradiated at a close position of the scalp along the guide portion, it is possible to perform efficient phototherapy without interference of hair.

In addition, since the vibration motor is installed on the inner lower portion of the shiatsu bar that the scalp massage is made, there is an effect that the vibration directly in contact with the scalp.

In addition, the acupressure rod is formed on the upper portion of the thin thickness to prevent the vibration generated from the vibration motor of the lower side is prevented from being transferred to the upper side is concentrated to the lower side has the effect of generating sufficient vibration as a small vibration motor. .

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the handle 11 is formed at the bottom and the main body 10 is provided with a treatment portion 12 in the upper front; An infrared laser generator 20 disposed above and below the center of the treatment unit 12; A red laser generator 30 mounted on left and right sides of the treatment unit 12; It consists of acupressure member 40 is provided in a predetermined arrangement in the upper, lower, left and right of the treatment unit 12.

As shown in FIG. 6, the main body 10 includes a charging unit for storing power supplied from the outside, a key input unit receiving a signal of an externally exposed power key, a vibration motor key, and a laser generation key, and a key input. Receives the signal from the unit, the micro control unit for controlling the laser driver and the motor driver is installed inside.

    The infrared laser generating unit 20 is arranged so that the laser generated by the laser generating means (not shown in the figure) installed inside the main body 10 is radiated to the outside through the laser inducing unit 21. The laser guide portion 21 is composed of a transparent material having a high linearity of light, and the end portion thereof is formed in a hemispherical shape, and is formed in a conical shape whose outer diameter becomes smaller as it goes downward.

  In addition, the red laser generating unit 30 is a device so that the laser generated by the infrared generating means (not shown in the figure) installed in the main body 10 is radiated to the outside through the induction unit 31.

    As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the acupressure member 40 constitutes a pressure rod 41 made of an elastic material and has a hemispherical end portion, and a vibration motor 42 in the lower side of the pressure rod 41. Is formed to form a coupling space portion 43 and the expansion space portion 44 having a large inner diameter is formed on the coupling space portion 43, the coupling space portion 43 and the expansion space 44 is connected A thin elastic portion 45 is formed at the site.

The thickened reinforcement portion 46 is integrally formed on the outer upper portion of the shiatsu rod 41 and the fitting groove 47 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the reinforcement portion 46 to the front plate 13 of the main body 10. When the fitting groove 47 is fitted into the formed assembly hole 14, the acupressure rod 41 is formed to be firmly assembled to the front plate 13.

In addition, the length L1 of the shiatsu rod 41 is longer than the length L2 of each of the induction portions 21 and 31.

  Since the vibration motor 42 located in the coupling space portion 43 of the shiatsu rod 41 is formed in a cylindrical shape, the outer peripheral surface of the vibration motor 42 is forcibly fitted to the inner circumference of the coupling space portion 43. As can be combined, and also to secure the vibration motor 42 using a separate adhesive, the present invention is not limited to the method of coupling the vibration motor, it can be selectively applied according to the working conditions.

The operation and effects thereof according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

 In order to use the present invention, when the power key is turned on first and then the vibration motor key and the laser key are operated, the acupressure member 40 is vibrated and the laser is emitted at the same time. When the acupressure rods (41) in close contact with the massage will be irradiated with ultraviolet and infrared rays.

More specifically, the acupressure rod 41 of the acupressure member 40 is vibrated at a constant amplitude and number of times to stimulate the scalp to supply nutrition and oxygen to the hair follicle cells through capillary expansion and increased blood flow, thereby activating the laser. Absorption is smooth.

Subsequently, each laser generated from the infrared laser generating unit 20 and the red laser generating unit 30 is irradiated to the scalp and converted into thermal energy, causing a thermal effect, thereby activating nitric oxide in the blood vessel endothelium and toxins in the bloodstream. Because it is removed, it can strengthen hair roots, which can lead to hair growth as well as inhibit hair loss.

  The infrared laser generator 20 and the red laser generator 30 operate for 6 to 8 seconds, and then generate an alarm sound, thereby preventing the laser from concentrating on a certain portion of the scalp, and the user's alarm sound. The treatment is performed by recognizing and shifting the position, and the power is automatically cut off after 15 minutes, thereby preventing side effects due to excessive use.

 The laser generated by the infrared laser generator 20 and the red laser generator 30 is directly irradiated to the scalp through each of the induction parts 21 and 31 to directly transmit light. That is, when the laser is irradiated to the scalp and the hair root to have the above-mentioned therapeutic effect, if the light is blocked by the hair, the therapeutic effect is lowered, so that each of the induction parts 21 and 31 breaks the hair and approaches the scalp and the hair root. Because of this, an efficient treatment is achieved without unnecessary loss of laser.

The shiatsu member 40 vibrates directly and effectively in contact with the scalp since the vibration motor 42 is individually installed inside each shiatsu rod 41 and the center of gravity of the vibration motor 42 is located at the bottom. In addition to being able to transmit, it is designed to minimize the loss of vibration.

That is, a thin elastic portion 45 is formed at a portion where the coupling space portion 43 and the expansion space portion 44 are connected, and the elastic portion 45 is generated in the vibration motor 42 located below. It serves to concentrate the lower part while minimizing the unnecessary transmission of the vibration to the upper part, when the vibration generated from the lower reaches the elastic part 45 is suppressed from being transmitted to the upper part by a thin thickness, at the same time thick When the vibration is transmitted to the elastic part 45 while the reinforcing part 46 is firmly fixed to the main body 10, the elasticity may be increased due to the material properties of the elastic part 45.

 The elastic portion 45 preferably has a thickness of 0.8 to 1.5 mm, and if it is less than 0.8 mm, there is a risk of breakage during use due to weak durability, if it exceeds 1.5 mm, the elasticity is lowered and the vibration is much higher. Delivered.

In addition, the acupressure rod 41 is preferably formed to the length (L1) of 12 to 25 mm, less than 12 mm, the space between the treatment unit 12 is narrow, so much interference by the hair occurs, 25 mm If exceeded, the radiation length of the laser becomes longer and the treatment effect is lowered.

   As an example of the acupressure member 40, as shown in FIG. 5, the vibration motor 52 is formed below the acupressure rod 51 by forming a hemispherical acupressure rod 51 having a hemispherical end portion. Forming the coupling space portion 53 is positioned long vertically and forms an elastic groove 54 recessed inward on the outer upper portion of the shiatsu rod 51.

This embodiment has the same effect as the shiatsu member of the present invention, there is an effect to form a simple structure.

The main body 10 has a rechargeable battery for supplying power to the infrared laser generating unit 20, the red laser generating unit 30 and the acupressure member 40 therein is exposed to the outside of the main body 10 to the outside Since the charging terminal is installed and the main body 10 is plugged into the charger 60 separately configured, the charging is performed, and the present invention can be used for a predetermined time without supplying power, so that the user can easily carry the portable device anywhere. .
