Description

スキンケア装置Skin care equipment
 本発明は、スキンケア装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a skin care device.
 従来、脱毛等のスキンケア処理方法として提案されている方法には、例えば、電気針脱毛法、レーザー脱毛法、フラッシュランプによる光線を用いた光脱毛法等がある。 Conventionally, methods proposed as a skin care treatment method such as hair removal include, for example, an electric needle hair removal method, a laser hair removal method, and a light hair removal method using light from a flash lamp.
 電気針脱毛法は、一つ一つの毛穴に針を刺して電気を流し発熱ないしは電気分解によって毛根や毛母細胞などの発毛に関与する部分を破壊して脱毛する方法である。毛穴1本単位で針をさして脱毛するため、確実に脱毛できるものの煩雑で処理時間が長くなる。 The electric needle hair removal method is a method in which needles are pierced into individual pores and electricity is applied to destroy the portions involved in hair growth such as hair roots and hair matrix cells by heat generation or electrolysis. Since the hair is removed by putting the needle in the unit of one pore, it can be surely removed, but it is complicated and the processing time is long.
 レーザー脱毛法は、レーザー光が特定の色に吸収されるという特性を用いて、レーザー光を皮膚表面に照射して毛根またはその周囲の細胞組織に化学変化を加えて脱毛する方法である。照射は面単位に行われるので、電気針脱毛法に比べ処理時間が少ない。表層に出ている毛は全体の20%程度であり、毛周期に合わせて何回か繰り返し処理を行う必要がある。 Laser hair removal is a method of removing hair by applying a chemical change to the hair root or surrounding cell tissue by irradiating the surface of the skin with laser light using the characteristic that laser light is absorbed in a specific color. Irradiation is performed on a surface-by-surface basis, so processing time is shorter than with the electric needle hair removal method. The hair appearing on the surface layer is about 20% of the total, and it is necessary to repeat the treatment several times according to the hair cycle.
 光脱毛法は、キセノン管等のフラッシュランプによる光線を皮膚表面に照射して毛根またはその周囲の細胞組織に化学変化を加えて脱毛する方法である。レーザー脱毛法に比べ、照射エネルギーが少なく、また照射範囲もより広く取ることができ処理時間を短くすることができる。レーザー脱毛法と同じく、毛周期に合わせて何回か繰り返し処理を行う。 The photo epilation method is a method of irradiating the surface of the skin with a light beam from a flash lamp such as a xenon tube to chemically remove the hair root or the surrounding cell tissue to remove the hair. Compared with the laser hair removal method, the irradiation energy is small, the irradiation range can be made wider, and the treatment time can be shortened. Similar to the laser hair removal method, the treatment is repeated several times according to the hair cycle.
 更に、最近では、特開2013-085948、特開2012-034977、特開2009-172095、特開2007-330690等に示すようにLED光源を利用したスキンケア技術も出てきている。 Furthermore, recently, as shown in JP2013-085948A, JP2012-034977A, JP2009-172095A, JP2007-330690A, etc., a skin care technique using an LED light source has come out.
 かかるレーザー脱毛法、LEDスキンケア装置では、一定の照射範囲を形成した照射窓からの放射光でケア部位を照射するが、所定箇所の毛根を焼失させるためには、ケア処理部位全体を繰り返し照射する必要がある。 In the laser hair removal method and the LED skin care device, the care site is irradiated with the radiated light from the irradiation window that forms a certain irradiation range. In order to burn down the hair root at a predetermined location, the entire care processing site is repeatedly irradiated. There is a need.
特にLEDを主光源とした光脱毛法においては、ハンドピースの照射面から放射される光の指向性が低く拡散しやすいため、所定のケア箇所に対して有効に作用する照射エネルギーを得ることが困難である。仮に、所定の照射エネルギーを得ようとした場合、LEDに対して過剰な入力電流値が必要となり、発生した熱を冷却する為の水路機構を複雑且つ大容量とする必要がある。 In particular, in the photo epilation method using LEDs as the main light source, the directivity of light emitted from the irradiation surface of the handpiece is low and easily diffused, so that it is possible to obtain irradiation energy that effectively acts on a predetermined care location. Have difficulty. If a predetermined irradiation energy is to be obtained, an excessive input current value is required for the LED, and the water channel mechanism for cooling the generated heat needs to be complicated and have a large capacity.
 ところで、ある医学刊行物では、照射する光の波長帯により肌への効果が異なることが発表されている。例えば、青色光(波長約400~470nm)では、ニキビの炎症を引き起こす座瘡細菌と反応してフリーラジカルが発生しニキビの炎症を防ぐ効果を有するポルフィリン(porphyrin)が含まれていることが発表されている。また、赤色光(波長約600~700nm)では傷口を癒合して炎症を抑える効果を有するとされている。また黄色光(波長約550~600nm)では、皮膚細胞の代謝を促進させるとされ、緑色光(波長約500~550nm)では、皮膚腺の機能を調整し、脂腺の活性、ニキビなどの発生を減らす効果を有すると言われている。 By the way, in a medical publication, it has been announced that the effect on the skin differs depending on the wavelength band of the irradiated light. For example, blue light (wavelength of about 400 to 470 nm) has been announced to contain porphyrin that has the effect of preventing acne inflammation by generating free radicals by reacting with acne bacteria that cause acne inflammation. Has been. In addition, red light (wavelength of about 600 to 700 nm) is said to have an effect of healing inflammation by healing wounds. In addition, yellow light (wavelength of about 550 to 600 nm) promotes skin cell metabolism, and green light (wavelength of about 500 to 550 nm) regulates the function of the skin gland, producing sebaceous gland activity and acne. It is said that it has the effect of reducing.
 さらに、610~800nmの波長帯域の照射光は真皮の深層にまで到達して線維芽細胞を活性化させ、コラーゲン・エラスチンの生成を促進するため、同波長帯の光を複数回照射することにより、しみ・くすみなどの光老化皮膚の改善に有効であると言われている。 Furthermore, the irradiation light in the wavelength band of 610 to 800 nm reaches the deep layer of the dermis to activate fibroblasts and promote the production of collagen and elastin. It is said to be effective in improving photo-aged skin such as spots and dullness.

 このように、従来のスキンケア装置では、キセノンランプやLD等を光源としており、施術者の経験、習熟度、被施術者の肌質等によっては、肌に火傷、色素沈着等が生じる場合もある。また、LEDを光源として利用するスキンケア装置では、照射光がLDと比較して拡散光となりやすく皮膚ケア面に対する照射エネルギーが足りず、長時間のケア作業を余儀なくされ皮膚を痛める恐れがある。さらに、所定の照射エネルギーを有する為にはLED光源に対して高い入力電流値が必要となり、その際に発生するLED光源周辺の熱量を冷却するための冷却処理が必要となるが、十分な冷却機能を有していない場合は、長時間の照射が難しくなり十分な肌ケアを実施することが困難となる。 As described above, the conventional skin care apparatus uses a xenon lamp, an LD, or the like as a light source, and the skin may be burned or pigmented depending on the experience, proficiency level, and skin quality of the patient. . Further, in a skin care device using an LED as a light source, the irradiated light is likely to be diffused light compared to the LD, and the irradiation energy for the skin care surface is insufficient, which may inevitably cause long-term care work and hurt the skin. Furthermore, in order to have a predetermined irradiation energy, a high input current value is required for the LED light source, and a cooling process is required to cool the amount of heat around the LED light source that is generated at that time. When it does not have a function, irradiation for a long time becomes difficult and it becomes difficult to carry out sufficient skin care.

Therefore, it is efficiently absorbed by the melanin pigment. Further, the irradiation light activates fibroblasts in the deep layer of the dermis and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, thereby having an effect that is effective in improving photoaged skin such as skin spots and dullness.
 請求項4の発明によれば、スキンケア照射体を構成する金(Au)層を含む多層金属層にニッケル(Ni)層を介在したため、SLDチップの発光に伴う発熱による金属層の熱膨張と、冷却部における冷却作用による金属層の収縮との差異をニッケル(Ni)層により緩和吸収するという作用を有する。 According to the invention of claim 4, since the nickel (Ni) layer is interposed in the multilayer metal layer including the gold (Au) layer constituting the skin care irradiator, the thermal expansion of the metal layer due to the heat generated by the light emission of the SLD chip, The nickel (Ni) layer relaxes and absorbs the difference from the shrinkage of the metal layer due to the cooling action in the cooling section.

That is, the heat energy generated from the light source and reaching the heat sink 300 through the support base 200 is cooled by the cooling water circulating through the cooling unit 6 and the heat sink 300.
 かかる本発明のスキンケア装置は以上のように構成されており、本発明の要旨はかかるスキンケア装置においてハンドピース本体100内部に配設されたSLD光源151及びこれに関連する周辺機器の構造にある。
 すなわち、ハンドピース本体100内部には、ケア光線照射用の照射窓152と、照射窓152に張設しケア光線を透過可能とした光透過板に対応する位置にケア光線照射体400が内蔵されている。
The skin care device of the present invention is configured as described above, and the gist of the present invention resides in the structure of the SLD light source 151 disposed in the handpiece body 100 and peripheral devices related thereto in the skin care device.
That is, in the handpiece main body 100, the care light beam irradiation body 400 is built in a position corresponding to an irradiation window 152 for irradiating the care light beam and a light transmission plate that is stretched on the irradiation window 152 and transmits the care light beam. ing.
 ケア光線照射体400は、熱伝導率の高い銅(Cu)とタングステン(W)との合金よりなる立方形状のケース500の内部に、表面にSLD光源151を載置した支持基盤200と、支持基盤200の下方に配設したヒートシンク300とを収納することにより構成されている。このように収納することで、照射されるケア光線がケア部位以外に放射される蓋然性を可及的に低減し、光漏洩による損失を低減する。また、熱伝導率の高い銅(Cu)のケースに覆われているため、SLD光源151内で発生した熱を可及的に拡散させる作用を有し、熱によるSLD光源151の劣化を防ぐことができるという効果を有する。 The care beam irradiator 400 includes a support base 200 in which an SLD light source 151 is mounted on the surface inside a cubic case 500 made of an alloy of copper (Cu) and tungsten (W) having high thermal conductivity, and a support base 200. The heat sink 300 disposed below the base 200 is housed. By storing in this way, the probability that the irradiated care beam is emitted to other than the care site is reduced as much as possible, and the loss due to light leakage is reduced. Further, since it is covered with a case of copper (Cu) having a high thermal conductivity, it has an action of diffusing heat generated in the SLD light source 151 as much as possible, and prevents the SLD light source 151 from being deteriorated by heat. Has the effect of being able to.
 SLD光源151はSLDチップ160を複数個並べることで構成しており、本実施形態では図5に図示しているように、例えば、SLDチップ160を12個並べた構成としている。SLDチップ160は、ケア対象に合う機能的な波長を有しており、例えば、主波長が約808nmである光を放射する素子で構成されている。これにより、照射エネルギーが効率よくメラニン色素に吸収され毛母細胞を焼失させると共に、真皮の深層にある繊維芽細胞を活性化させ、コラーゲン・エラスチンの生成を促進することで肌のシミ・くすみなどの光老化皮膚の改善に有効となる効果を有すると共に、皮膚に対する共鳴吸収により血管を拡張・充血し、筋肉痛、関節痛、神経痛、肩こり等の痛みに対する鎮痛作用が期待できる効果を有する。
 一般にケア光線としてダイオードを用いる場合は、SLD光源、LD光源、LED光源等が使用されるが、本発明では特にSLD光源を用いる。
The SLD light source 151 is configured by arranging a plurality of SLD chips 160. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, 12 SLD chips 160 are arranged. The SLD chip 160 has a functional wavelength suitable for the care target, and is composed of an element that emits light having a dominant wavelength of about 808 nm, for example. This effectively absorbs the irradiation energy into the melanin pigment and burns off the hair matrix cells, activates fibroblasts in the deep layer of the dermis, and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, thereby causing skin spots and dullness. In addition to having an effect that is effective in improving photoaged skin, the blood vessel is dilated and congested by resonance absorption to the skin, and an analgesic action for pain such as muscle pain, joint pain, neuralgia, and stiff shoulders can be expected.
In general, when a diode is used as a care light beam, an SLD light source, an LD light source, an LED light source, or the like is used. In the present invention, an SLD light source is particularly used.
 その理由としては、それぞれの光源が有する特性に起因する。
 LD光源は、高いコヒーレント性を有し、且つピークとなる波長域以外の光をほとんど放射しないため、省エネルギーでの施術が可能となる。しかし、施術面積が非常に狭く作業効率が悪いという欠点を有する。また、照射光がスポット光となるため照射時間を考慮しなければ被施術者の肌に火傷、色素沈着を生じてしまうという問題があり、熟練の施術者しかケア作業に従事できないという欠点も有している。
The reason is due to the characteristics of each light source.
Since the LD light source has high coherence and emits almost no light other than the peak wavelength region, it is possible to perform treatment with energy saving. However, there is a disadvantage that the treatment area is very narrow and the working efficiency is poor. In addition, since the irradiation light becomes spot light, there is a problem that if the irradiation time is not considered, burns and pigmentation may occur on the skin of the patient, and there is a disadvantage that only a skilled operator can engage in the care work. is doing.
 LED光源の場合は、照射光のコヒーレント性が低く、ピーク波長を中心として可視光領域全域に渡り放射する。そのため、照射光の拡散度合いが高く広い照射範囲を有するが、必要な照射エネルギーを得る為にはLED光源に対して過剰な電流値を入力してやる必要がある。以上のように、LD光源とLED光源にはそれぞれスキンケア光線として使用する際に欠点を有している。 In the case of an LED light source, the coherency of the irradiated light is low, and it radiates over the entire visible light region centering on the peak wavelength. Therefore, although the diffusion degree of irradiation light is high and it has a wide irradiation range, it is necessary to input an excessive current value to the LED light source in order to obtain necessary irradiation energy. As described above, the LD light source and the LED light source have drawbacks when used as skin care light beams.
 SLD光源は両光源の欠点を補う特性を有している。SLD光源は、LED光源よりも高いコヒーレント性を有しながら、放射される波長帯域が広い為、スキンケア光線として必要な照射エネルギーをSLDチップに入力可能な規定の電流値内で実現することができる。また、LD光源と比較して照射面積が広い為、施術効率としても優れている。 SLD light source has a characteristic to compensate for the disadvantages of both light sources. The SLD light source has higher coherence than the LED light source and has a wide wavelength band to be radiated. Therefore, the irradiation energy necessary for the skin care light beam can be realized within a specified current value that can be input to the SLD chip. . In addition, since the irradiation area is large compared to the LD light source, the treatment efficiency is also excellent.
 SLDチップ160は以下に示す支持基盤200に載置されている。
 支持基盤200は、図6に示すように、SLDチップ載置面側を表面とし、その表面から第1金(Au)層201と酸化ベリリウム(BeO)層202と第2金(Au)層203とニッケル(Ni)層204と第3金(Au)層205とを積層して構成されている。
 なお、酸化ベリリウム(BeO)202にはダイアモンド粉末を混入している。
 しかも、この支持基盤200の表面の第1金(Au)層201と裏面の第3金(Au)層205には最上層の金(Au)層206と最下層の金(Au)層207が防錆のために第1半田208と第2半田209にて半田付けされている。
 なお、ここで、金(Au)層やニッケル(Ni)層等のように金属層として表現したものは金属プレートや金属シート等の薄膜形状や薄板形状を総称して表現したものである。
 半田208と半田209は、金(Au)とスズ(Sn)との合金や、亜鉛(Zn)とスズ(Sn)との合金よりなる。
 上記の支持基盤200の多層金属構成のうち金(Au)層を使用するのは金属の錆びにくい性質と共に半田の濡れ性を考慮したものである。また、酸化ベリリウム(BeO)層202を使用するのはセラミックスの一種として硬度を有する一枚の板状態として利用するものであり、また、ニッケル(Ni)層はSLDチップ160の発光に伴う発熱による金属層の膨張と、ヒートシンクにおける冷却作用による金属層の収縮との差異を吸収するためのものである。
The SLD chip 160 is placed on the support base 200 shown below.
As shown in FIG. 6, the support base 200 has the SLD chip mounting surface side as a surface, and a first gold (Au) layer 201, a beryllium oxide (BeO) layer 202, and a second gold (Au) layer 203 from the surface. And a nickel (Ni) layer 204 and a third gold (Au) layer 205 are laminated.
In addition, diamond powder is mixed in beryllium oxide (BeO) 202.
In addition, the first gold (Au) layer 201 on the front surface of the support base 200 and the third gold (Au) layer 205 on the back surface include an uppermost gold (Au) layer 206 and a lowermost gold (Au) layer 207. In order to prevent rust, the first solder 208 and the second solder 209 are used for soldering.
Here, what is expressed as a metal layer, such as a gold (Au) layer or a nickel (Ni) layer, is a generic expression of a thin film shape or a thin plate shape such as a metal plate or a metal sheet.
The solder 208 and the solder 209 are made of an alloy of gold (Au) and tin (Sn) or an alloy of zinc (Zn) and tin (Sn).
The use of the gold (Au) layer in the multi-layered metal structure of the support base 200 takes into consideration the wettability of the solder as well as the property of the metal not to rust. The beryllium oxide (BeO) layer 202 is used as a single plate having hardness as a kind of ceramic, and the nickel (Ni) layer is generated by heat generated by the light emission of the SLD chip 160. This is to absorb the difference between the expansion of the metal layer and the shrinkage of the metal layer due to the cooling action in the heat sink.
 このように構成した支持基盤200の構造の下方にはヒートシンク300を設けている。
 すなわち、ヒートシンク300は支持基盤200で載置支持したSLDチップ160の発光に伴う発熱を冷却するためのものであり、支持基盤200の構造は可及的に伝導放熱しやすく金(Au)層を主体に構成しており、かかる構成からの伝導熱はヒートシンク300において冷却される。
A heat sink 300 is provided below the structure of the support base 200 thus configured.
That is, the heat sink 300 is for cooling the heat generated by the light emission of the SLD chip 160 placed and supported by the support base 200, and the structure of the support base 200 is as easy as possible to conduct and dissipate heat, and a gold (Au) layer is provided. The heat conduction is cooled by the heat sink 300.
 ヒートシンク300は、支持基盤200における最下層の金(Au)層207の下方においてケース500下部に水流路の空間を形成して構成されている。すなわち、ケース500下部の肉厚部分に水流路のための空間部503を形成し、ケース500下部の肉厚部分に形成した空間部503の天井面501はヒートシンク300に隣接しており、しかも、水流路の空間部の天井面501及び内底面502はそれぞれスリット上の循環水路を形成している。さらに、上下面の斜め状のスリット状の循環水路は互い傾斜格子状に交差した形状としている。また、天井面501と循環水との接触面には、腐食防止と伝導放熱を考慮して第4金(Au)層506を設けており、内底面502にも同様に腐食防止用と伝導放熱を考慮して第5金(Au)層507を設けている。
 そのため、水流路を流れる循環水とケース500下部の肉厚部に形成した空間部503の天井面501と内底面502とが接触する面積が可及的に拡大され、ヒートシンク300からの放熱が効率よく実施されるようになっている。
 装置本体1の冷却水コネクタ82には装置本体1内の冷却水を冷却水ケーブル4を介してケース500内のヒートシンク300との間で循環させるように構成しており、また、図5に図示している通りケース500の一側面にはヒートシンク300に冷却水を導入するための導水孔504と導出孔505が形成されてそれぞれ冷却水ケーブル4に接続されている。
 そのため、SLD光源151に蓄熱されている熱を効率よく装置本体1の冷却部6に伝導することが可能となり、ケース500内に熱が留まる蓋然性を可及的に低減し、SLDチップ160への熱の蓄積によるダメージを軽減させ長期間の使用が可能となっている。
The heat sink 300 is configured by forming a water passage space below the case 500 below the lowermost gold (Au) layer 207 in the support base 200. That is, the space portion 503 for the water flow path is formed in the thick portion at the bottom of the case 500, and the ceiling surface 501 of the space portion 503 formed in the thick portion at the bottom of the case 500 is adjacent to the heat sink 300, The ceiling surface 501 and the inner bottom surface 502 of the space portion of the water channel each form a circulating water channel on the slit. Furthermore, the slanted slit-shaped circulation channels on the upper and lower surfaces have shapes that intersect with each other in an inclined lattice shape. In addition, a fourth gold (Au) layer 506 is provided on the contact surface between the ceiling surface 501 and the circulating water in consideration of corrosion prevention and conduction heat radiation, and the inner bottom surface 502 is similarly provided with corrosion prevention and conduction heat radiation. In consideration of the above, a fifth gold (Au) layer 507 is provided.
Therefore, the area where the circulating water flowing through the water flow path and the ceiling surface 501 and the inner bottom surface 502 of the space portion 503 formed in the thick portion at the lower part of the case 500 come into contact with each other is increased as much as possible. It is well implemented.
The cooling water connector 82 of the apparatus main body 1 is configured so that the cooling water in the apparatus main body 1 is circulated between the cooling water cable 4 and the heat sink 300 in the case 500 via the cooling water cable 4. As shown, a water guide hole 504 and a lead-out hole 505 for introducing cooling water into the heat sink 300 are formed on one side surface of the case 500 and connected to the cooling water cable 4 respectively.
Therefore, the heat stored in the SLD light source 151 can be efficiently conducted to the cooling unit 6 of the apparatus main body 1, and the probability that the heat stays in the case 500 is reduced as much as possible. It can be used for a long time by reducing damage caused by heat accumulation.
 また、ヒートシンク300´の冷却方法について、他の実施例を図面を参照して説明する。図10はヒートシンク300´を冷却ファン600にて冷却する場合のケア光線照射体400´の一部を示した拡大断面図である。なお、上述した実施形態1と同様の部分についての詳細な説明は省略する。 Further, a method for cooling the heat sink 300 'will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a part of the care beam irradiation body 400 ′ when the heat sink 300 ′ is cooled by the cooling fan 600. Detailed description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted.
 SLD光源151´はSLDチップ160が1つで構成されており、第2実施形態ではSLD光源151´の略中央部に配設している。これにより、照射エネルギーを低減し、SLDチップから放出される熱量を抑え、後述する冷却ファン600の冷却作用にて十分に冷却可能な熱量に抑えられ、家庭でも使用できるコンパクトな形状を実現できる。 The SLD light source 151 ′ is composed of a single SLD chip 160, and in the second embodiment, it is disposed at a substantially central portion of the SLD light source 151 ′. As a result, the irradiation energy is reduced, the amount of heat released from the SLD chip is suppressed, the amount of heat that can be sufficiently cooled by the cooling action of the cooling fan 600 described later is suppressed, and a compact shape that can be used at home can be realized.
 ケース500´は、支持基盤200における最下層の金(Au)層207の下方においてヒートシンク300´を有し、さらにヒートシンク300´の下方に冷却ファン600を有している。ヒートシンク300´は空気との接触面を傾斜格子形状とすると共に、腐食防止と伝導放熱を考慮して第4金(Au)層506を設けており、冷却ファン600の排熱処理機構と併用することで効率的な排熱ができる。
 冷却ファン600は、装置本体1の制御部2にて駆動を管理しており、照射ボタン104の押下状態と連動して回転を開始し、照射ボタン104から指を離した後も余熱分を冷却するため数分間回転し続け、ハンドピース本体100´内の対流冷却を実施する。
The case 500 ′ has a heat sink 300 ′ below the lowermost gold (Au) layer 207 in the support base 200, and further has a cooling fan 600 below the heat sink 300 ′. The heat sink 300 ′ has an inclined lattice shape on the contact surface with air, and is provided with a fourth gold (Au) layer 506 in consideration of corrosion prevention and conduction heat dissipation, and is used together with the exhaust heat treatment mechanism of the cooling fan 600. Efficient exhaust heat.
The cooling fan 600 manages the drive by the control unit 2 of the apparatus body 1 and starts rotating in conjunction with the pressing state of the irradiation button 104 to cool the remaining heat even after the finger is released from the irradiation button 104. Therefore, it continues to rotate for several minutes, and convection cooling in the handpiece body 100 'is performed.
 また、ハンドピース本体100´は図8のように上面にスリット700を有している。スリット700は、平面視略矩形形状を有しており、冷却ファン600と併用することでハンドピース本体100´の外部へケース500´が有する熱を排熱することができる。さらに、スリット700は、幅1mm以下の開口形状としており、1mm以上のホコリがハンドピース本体100´内に進入しないように構成している。 The handpiece body 100 'has a slit 700 on the upper surface as shown in FIG. The slit 700 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and can be used together with the cooling fan 600 to discharge heat of the case 500 ′ to the outside of the handpiece main body 100 ′. Further, the slit 700 has an opening shape with a width of 1 mm or less, and is configured so that dust of 1 mm or more does not enter the handpiece body 100 ′.
 また、第2実施形態では空冷方式とすることで装置本体1´に設けられた冷却部6と循環水の循環経路として設けられた接合部8に配設された冷却系統コネクタ82が不要となる。これにより、装置本体1´とケーブル4´のスリム化が可能となる。 Further, in the second embodiment, the cooling system connector 82 disposed in the cooling section 6 provided in the apparatus main body 1 ′ and the joint section 8 provided as a circulation path of circulating water becomes unnecessary by adopting the air cooling method. . Thereby, slimming down of apparatus main body 1 'and cable 4' is attained.
 かかる構成とすることで、ハンドピース本体100´内の熱を効率よく外部に排熱でき、SLDチップ160への熱の蓄積によるダメージを軽減させ長期間の使用が可能となる。 With such a configuration, the heat in the handpiece main body 100 ′ can be efficiently exhausted to the outside, damage due to heat accumulation in the SLD chip 160 is reduced, and long-term use is possible.
 本発明の実施例は上記のように構成されて各種のスキンケアに使用できるものであるが、本発明はかかるスキンケア以外にも医療用としても機能する。例えば、SLD光源による主波長が約808nmの赤外線波長を利用して腰痛、神経痛、肩コリ、皮膚疾患、毛髪育毛、毛生え療法等に対する温熱療法と共に、疾患部への集中的なSLDの赤外線照射による癌治療にも利用することもできる。
 かかる医療用に使用する場合には、臨床データを参照しながら照射時間と温度調節を疾患箇所によって適宜適用することが必要となる。
