Description

무좀 치료방법{TREAT METHOD OF ATHLETE'S FOOT)}{TREAT METHOD OF ATHLETE'S FOOT)}

본 발명은 무좀 치료방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of treating athlete's foot.

손발톱의 무좀을 치료하기 위하여 경구 항진균제를 복용하는 처방이 많이 이루어진다. 경구 항진균제는 다양한 부작용이 발현될 수 있고 특히 간독성이 강하여 간질환자는 복용할 수 없다. 심부전, 고지혈증, 항불안제 등 다양한 약제와 상호작용을 일으킨다. 경구 항균진제는 임산부나 수유부도 복용하지 못한다. To treat athlete's foot of the nails, oral antifungal medications are often prescribed. Oral antifungal drugs can cause various side effects and are particularly highly liver toxic, so they cannot be taken by liver patients. It interacts with various medications, including heart failure, hyperlipidemia, and anti-anxiety drugs. Oral antibacterial drugs cannot be taken by pregnant or lactating women.

또한, 경구 항균진제의 치료 효과를 보기 위하여 최소 6개월 이상 복용을 권장하는데 환자 자신 혹은 생활환경에 따라서 장기간 규칙적인 약복용이 어려운 경우가 많기에 완치에 이르기가 어렵다. 경구 항균진제를 복용한 이후 완치되더라도 이미 재발률은 30% 이상이고, 수차례의 반복적인 약물치료는 내성의 문제가 뒤따르니 한두 번 치료 했더라도 중도에 포기하고 방치하다 증상이 매우 악화되는 경우가 많다. In addition, in order to see the therapeutic effect of oral antibacterial drugs, it is recommended to take them for at least 6 months, but it is often difficult to take the drugs regularly for a long period of time depending on the patient or living environment, making it difficult to achieve a complete cure. Even if the patient is completely cured after taking oral antibacterial drugs, the recurrence rate is already over 30%, and repeated drug treatments often lead to problems with resistance, so even after treatment once or twice, symptoms often worsen significantly due to giving up and neglect. .

이와 같은 경구 항균진제의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 레이저 치료를 시행할 수 있다. 레이저 치료는 부작용이 거의 없고 통증도 적은 치료로 검증이 되었다. 그러나 이제까지는 식약처로부터 치료효과를 인증받은 검증된 레이저 치료라 할지라도 단독 치료로는 레이저 치료를 성공률이 경구치료에 비하여 낮다고 보고되며 높은 시술 수가로 경제성이 낮다는 단점이 있었다. To overcome these disadvantages of oral antibacterial agents, laser treatment can be performed. Laser treatment has been proven to be a treatment with few side effects and minimal pain. However, even with proven laser treatment whose therapeutic effects have been certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, the success rate of laser treatment as a stand-alone treatment has been reported to be lower than that of oral treatment, and the high number of treatments has the disadvantage of being low in economic feasibility.

전술한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명을 첨부 도면에 의하여 상세하게 기술하면 다음과 같으며 본 발명의 요지를 불필요하게 흐릴 수 있는 공지의 구성 요소에 대한 구체적인 설명은 생략한다. The present invention for achieving the above-described object is described in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows, and detailed descriptions of known components that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention are omitted.

이하의 명세서를 설명함에 있어서, 용어의 정의를 하고자 한다. In explaining the following specification, terms will be defined.

"조갑 (爪甲)"은 손톱과 발톱을 통틀어 이르는 말이다. “Fingernails (爪甲)” refers to both fingernails and toenails.

"조상"은 손톱 바닥을 말한다. 누구나 손톱을 보면 핑크색 부분을 확인할 수 있다. 조상은 모세 혈관이 위치해 있기 때문에 핑크색을 띠고 있다 “Ancestor” refers to the nail bed. Anyone who looks at their fingernails can see the pink part. The ancestors are pink in color because the capillaries are located there.

"조소피(Cuticle)"는 손톱과 살 사이의 이음새 역할을 하는 굳은살로 신경이 없어 미용목적으로 제거가 가능하며, 과감하게 제거할 경우 세균감염의 위험이 있다. “Cuticle” is a callus that acts as a joint between the nail and the flesh. It has no nerves and can be removed for cosmetic purposes. However, if removed too aggressively, there is a risk of bacterial infection.

도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 무좀 치료방법을 시술하는 사진이며, 도 2는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 무좀 치료방법으로 시술한 환자의 전후 사진이다. Figure 1 is a photograph showing the athlete's foot treatment method performed according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is a before and after photograph of a patient treated with the athlete's foot treatment method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

본 발명의 무좀치료방법은, The athlete's foot treatment method of the present invention is,

(a) 탄산가스 레이저를 이용하여 환자가 통증이 느껴지기 전까지 무좀균이 침범한 손톱이나 발톱의 조갑 부위를 태우는 단계; (a) using a carbon dioxide laser to burn the fingernail or toenail area invaded by athlete's foot bacteria until the patient feels pain;

(b) 가열식 레이저를 이용하여 조갑과 조근 및 조갑주변 조소피에 조사하여 열치료하는 단계; (b) heat treatment by irradiating the nail, rough muscles, and skin around the nail using a heated laser;

(c) 비가열식 레이저인 오니코레이저를 환부에 조사하여 비열치료 하는 단계를 포함한다. (c) It includes the step of performing non-thermal treatment by irradiating the affected area with Onico Laser, a non-heating laser.

상기 (b) 단계는 1064nm 파장의 가열식 레이저를 사용하며, 상기 (c) 단계는 635nm 또는 405nm 파장의 오니코레이저인 것을 특징으로 하며,Step (b) uses a heated laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, and step (c) uses an onico laser with a wavelength of 635 nm or 405 nm,

상기 (c) 단계 이후에, 국소치료제를 도포하는 단계; 를 더 포함할 수 있다.After step (c), applying a topical treatment agent; It may further include.

본 발명은 삼중 레이저 복합 무좀 치료방법(시술방법)이다. 진균이 가장 많이 존재하는 조상 부위에 국소도포제나 레이저 광선이 효과적으로 전달되게 하기 위하여 시행한다. The present invention is a triple laser combination athlete's foot treatment method (treatment method). It is performed to ensure that topical application or laser light is effectively delivered to the ancestral area where fungi are most present.

본 치료방법을 진행하기에 앞서 양 발을 소독포 위에 올려놓는다. Before proceeding with this treatment method, place both feet on the disinfectant cloth.

(a)단계는 탄산가스 레이저를 이용하여 환자가 통증이 느껴지기 전까지 무좀균이 침범한 손톱이나 발톱의 조갑 부위를 태우는 단계이다. Step (a) uses a carbon dioxide laser to burn the fingernail or toenail area invaded by athlete's foot bacteria until the patient feels pain.

본 단계는 진균에 대한 치료를 효과적으로 진행하기 위하여 조상 부위를 외부로 노출시키는 과정이다. 탄산가스 레이저를 이용하여 조갑의 단단하고 매끄러운 표면을 얇게 태우되 통증이 느껴지기 전까지 시행한다. 두껍게 변형된 조갑의 경우는 표면을 태워 열어주면서 모양을 다듬고 전체 두께를 교정한다. 이 과정은 조갑의 모양을 교정하며 조상으로의 약물이나 레이저 치료의 침투율을 상승시키며, 그 자체로 살균효과가 있다. This step is a process of exposing the ancestral area to the outside in order to effectively treat fungi. Using a carbon dioxide laser, the hard and smooth surface of the nail is burned thinly until pain is felt. In the case of thick, deformed nails, the surface is burned open to refine the shape and correct the overall thickness. This process corrects the shape of the nail, increases the penetration rate of drugs or laser treatment into the nail, and has a sterilizing effect in itself.

(b)단계는 가열식 레이저를 이용하여 조갑과 조근 및 조갑주변 조소피에 조사하여 열치료하는 단계이다. 1064nm의 가열식 레이저로 조갑과 조근 (nail root) 및 조갑주변 조소피(큐티클,Cuticle)까지 2mm 정도로 넓이를 확장하여 조사한다. 본 과정은 열에 의한 항진균효과가 있다. 항진균효과를 위한 레이저 파장은 다양한 범위에서 선택적으로 가능하다. Step (b) is a heat treatment step that uses a heated laser to irradiate the nail, rough muscles, and rough skin around the nail. The 1064nm heated laser irradiates the nails, nail roots, and cuticles around the nails by expanding the area to about 2mm. This process has an antifungal effect due to heat. Laser wavelengths for antifungal effects can be selected in a wide range.

(c)단계는 비가열식 레이저인 오니코레이저를 환부에 조사하여 비열치료 하는 단계이다. Step (c) is a non-thermal treatment step by irradiating the affected area with Onico Laser, a non-heating laser.

비가열식 레이저인 오니코레이저의 635nm 또는 405nm 광선을 조사하며 이는 635nm의 혈류증가 및 세포재생촉진 효과와 405nm의 진균세포막 파괴로 인한 진균사멸 효과가 있다. It radiates 635nm or 405nm light from Onico Laser, a non-heating laser, which has the effect of increasing blood flow and promoting cell regeneration at 635nm and killing fungi by destroying fungal cell membranes at 405nm.

(c) 단계 이후 치료 후 국소도포제를 가정에서 지속적으로 바르도록 한다. After treatment after step (c), continue to apply the topical agent at home.

도 2는 본 무좀 치료방법 이후의 사진으로서 약 3개월 후에 발톱의 모양이 자연스러워 진 것을 확인할 수 있다. 본 발명은 조갑 표면을 제거하고, 조상으로 레이저와 약물의 침투가 용이해지므로 치료 효과가 높다. Figure 2 is a photo after this athlete's foot treatment method, and it can be seen that the shape of the toenails became more natural after about 3 months. The present invention has a high therapeutic effect because it removes the nail surface and facilitates the penetration of the laser and drug into the nail.

이상에서 설명한 본 발명은, 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에게 있어서 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 여러 가지 치환, 변경이 가능하므로 전술한 실시예에 한정되는 것은 아니다. The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments, as various substitutions and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. .
