Description

Apparatus for diagnosing skin using contact and non-contact type}

The present invention relates to a skin diagnostic device for diagnosing a skin condition in a contact and non-contact manner, and more particularly, by diagnosing the skin by selectively applying a contact or non-contact method to the skin according to the situation, the condition of the skin is accurately analyzed and through this It is possible to improve the reliability of skin treatment and diagnosis contents, and also to provide convenience to users because it is possible to check and manage the skin condition in real time through a wireless terminal, and to receive diagnosis through precise analysis. It relates to a skin diagnostic device for diagnosing skin conditions in a contact and non-contact manner.

As interest in skin beauty increases, interest in checking skin conditions through various routes such as skin care rooms and dermatology clinics has increased, and interest in skin care using appropriate skin care methods or customized cosmetics is increasing.

Accordingly, there is an increasing number of skin care rooms that measure skin conditions and skin care rooms that can receive scalp and hair care.

In order to measure the skin condition, in particular, a skin diagnosis apparatus using a diagnostic lamp for diagnosing the skin condition by irradiating a light of a specific wavelength to the skin and analyzing a characteristic fluorescent color displayed by the skin irradiated to the light is commonly used.

An ultraviolet lamp is mainly used as the diagnostic lamp.

In the conventional skin diagnosis apparatus using an ultraviolet lamp, it is necessary to darken the surrounding area when ultraviolet rays are irradiated so that ultraviolet rays can be efficiently irradiated to a desired skin area.

Accordingly, the device for diagnosing the skin condition of the face, which is commonly found in cosmetics stores, etc., is equipped with a diagnostic lamp in a box with an open front, and a cylindrical black cloth that does not transmit light well along the outer circumferential surface of the open front portion of the box. By attaching, the subject who wishes to receive the diagnosis of the skin condition wrapped the cloth around his head and brought his face close to the box equipped with the diagnosis lamp, thereby darkening the surroundings so that the measurement and diagnosis of the skin condition was made.

In such a conventional skin diagnosis device, there is a risk that measurement and diagnosis may not be performed efficiently because darkening is not guaranteed, and there is a fear that the shape of the head may be damaged because the subject has to wrap the cloth around the head as described above. Or you can think of such a process as cumbersome.

In addition, if the fabric is torn or dirty, there is an inconvenience of having to replace it frequently.

On the other hand, recently, attempts have been made to examine the condition of the skin by irradiating light onto the skin and photographing it, analyzing the light information, but how to irradiate and how to detect which light, and the detected light information. There is no established method for how to analyze the skin, so urgent development of a skin diagnosis method and its device using this principle is required.

In addition, in the case of a conventional general 3D object surface photographing apparatus, since the external size is large and the price is high, there is a difficulty that a general skin shop or individual users cannot carry, so it is not possible to check their skin condition from time to time, and it is expensive.
