Smart Wood for Skin Diagnosis

The present invention relates to a smart wood for skin diagnosis, and more particularly, it is possible to diagnose a wide range of skin conditions and diseases beyond the limits of the existing skin diagnosis by having an LED module configured to irradiate light of various wavelength bands. By taking a picture of the user's skin, the user can easily check the user's skin condition in the home without visiting the hospital, and transmit the recorded data to the outside through a communication network. The present invention relates to a smart wood for skin diagnosis, which enables more comprehensive and professional skin care and diagnosis.

Wood lamp was developed by the American physicist Robert William Wood, which was used to identify skin conditions such as ringworm, but is now used to determine the skin condition of customers in the field of skin care. I use it to do it.

These woods are based on the principle of different colors depending on the sebum, sensitivity and keratin condition of the skin when UV rays are applied to the skin, and it is possible to check the condition of the skin that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Is helping.

When looking at the skin color on wood according to the skin condition, first, normal skin appears to be blue-white, dry skin is light purple, dehydrated skin is progressive purple, cotton or oily skin is orange, lip is pink, pigmentation The skin appears brown or dark brown and white in keratin.

In this way, the skin color on the wood and the like appear in different colors, so that the skin condition of the user can be easily understood, so that appropriate treatment and management can be made accordingly.

Wood and the like are used to test various skin diseases. For example, it is used for the detection of some fungal infections (such as ringworm, tofu), some bacterial infections (red fluorescence), pigmented diseases (such as vitiligo), porphyrin, tetracycline, and cosmetics.

The wood lamps currently used for commercial use and treatment include nickel oxide in the glass of fluorescent lamps containing ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of more than 365 nm and mercury vapor emitting visible light, and invisible long wavelength ultraviolet and blue-white visible light. It is designed so that only part of the spectrum comes out selectively.

Ultraviolet rays emitted from such woods are characterized by fluorescence when they come into contact with and reflect a specific object. By using this feature to light the skin with wood, etc., various skin diseases show characteristic fluorescence according to the skin disease, and the skin color caused by the fluorescent color is diagnosed.

Diseases that can be diagnosed using wood include melanin-pigmented skin diseases such as ringworm, erythrasma, vitiligo, albinism, and nodular sclerosis, external auditory canal-skin infections, perennial skin porphyrins, accompaniment, and epidemics.
