Description

高周波電気刺激の適用による真皮再生促進方法Method of promoting dermis regeneration by applying high-frequency electrical stimulation
 本発明は、高周波を利用した美容方法および真皮再生促進方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a beauty method using high frequency and a method for promoting dermis regeneration.
 顔や手足などの皮膚に対して高周波(RF)電流を流すことにより、皮膚のしわやたるみなどの改善を図ることが可能な高周波美容方法が知られている。皮膚に高周波電流を流すと、真皮層や皮下組織の温度が上昇する。その加熱作用によって、血液の流れを促進させること、および、真皮層のコラーゲンに熱ダメージを与えることで真皮層のコラーゲンの再生を促進させること等の効果が期待されている。近年は、そのような高周波を利用した様々な美容処理装置が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1)。 A high frequency beauty method is known that can improve wrinkles and sagging of the skin by passing a high frequency (RF) current to the skin such as the face and limbs. When a high-frequency current is applied to the skin, the temperature of the dermis layer and subcutaneous tissue rises. It is expected that the heating action promotes the flow of blood and promotes the regeneration of collagen in the dermis layer by causing heat damage to the collagen in the dermis layer. In recent years, various beauty treatment devices using such high frequencies have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

With increasing awareness of health in recent years, more fundamental improvement of function at the constitutional level is desired.

 本発明は、皮膚への高周波(RF)の適用が、真皮幹細胞の安定性の改善、例えば、真皮幹細胞におけるITGA6の遺伝子発現の増強による真皮幹細胞の安定性の改善、に大きく寄与するという、本発明者らの新たな知見に基づくものであり、本発明の一態様として、皮膚に高周波を適用して真皮幹細胞の安定性を高めることを含む美容方法が提供される。ITGA6遺伝子発現の増強により真皮幹細胞の安定性が改善し(例えば、真皮幹細胞が血管付近に繋ぎとめられる)、それに伴って真皮線維芽細胞におけるV型コラーゲンおよび/またはフィブリリン1の産生も増強される。真皮幹細胞の安定化は皮膚の張りにも影響し、皮膚へのRF電流の適用は、皮膚に張りを与えることに寄与する。 The present invention states that the application of high frequency (RF) to the skin greatly contributes to the improvement of the stability of dermal stem cells, for example, the improvement of the stability of dermal stem cells by enhancing the gene expression of ITGA6 in the dermal stem cells. Based on the new findings of the inventors, as one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cosmetic method including applying a high frequency to the skin to enhance the stability of dermal stem cells. Increased ITGA6 gene expression improves dermal stem cell stability (eg, dermal stem cells are anchored near blood vessels), with concomitantly enhanced production of type V collagen and / or fibrillin-1 in dermal fibroblasts. .. Stabilization of dermal stem cells also affects skin tension, and application of RF currents to the skin contributes to skin tension.
 皮膚に適用する高周波の周波数は、0.5MHz~4MHzの範囲、例えば、0.5MHZ、1MHz、2MHZ、3MHzまたは4MHzのいずれかの周波数、または上記の任意の周波数により規定される範囲(例えば、1~4MHzの範囲)に含まれる任意の周波数が使用されてもよい。本発明の一部の形態においては、周波数は約1MHzである。 The frequency of the high frequency applied to the skin is in the range of 0.5 MHz to 4 MHz, for example, 0.5 MHZ, 1 MHz, 2 MHZ, 3 MHz or 4 MHz, or the range defined by any of the above frequencies (eg, for example. Any frequency included in the range of 1 to 4 MHz) may be used. In some embodiments of the invention, the frequency is about 1 MHz.
 血管の周囲に存在する真皮幹細胞は、肌の自己再生力を高める司令塔として働く。インテグリンα6(ITGA6)は、血管基底膜を介して真皮幹細胞を血管に繋ぎとめる役割を果たす。ITGA6の発現増加により接着性が高まった幹細胞が血管周囲に安定化し、結果としてECM産生が促される。 The dermal stem cells that exist around the blood vessels work as a control tower that enhances the self-renewal power of the skin. Integrin α6 (ITGA6) plays a role in anchoring dermal stem cells to blood vessels via the basement membrane of blood vessels. Increased expression of ITGA6 stabilizes stem cells with increased adhesiveness around blood vessels, and as a result, promotes ECM production.

 皮膚への高周波の適用には、高周波装置を用いることができる。高周波装置の一形態について、図1を参照して説明する。 A high frequency device can be used to apply high frequency to the skin. A form of the high frequency device will be described with reference to FIG.
 高周波装置1は、電極部10と制御回路20とを有する。電極部10は、制御回路20に接続された第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bを有する。ユーザの皮膚に接触する接触面を電極部10に設け、この接触面に、第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bを互いに間隔をあけて配置することにより、第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bを容易に皮膚に互いに間隔をあけて接触させることができる。第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bを、接触面にではなく、配線ケーブルを介して制御回路20と接続してもよく、こうすることによって、第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bを自由に配置することができる。 The high frequency device 1 has an electrode unit 10 and a control circuit 20. The electrode unit 10 has a first electrode 10a and a second electrode 10b connected to the control circuit 20. A contact surface that comes into contact with the user's skin is provided on the electrode portion 10, and the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b are arranged at intervals from each other on the contact surface, whereby the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b are provided. They can be easily brought into contact with the skin at intervals. The first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b may be connected to the control circuit 20 via a wiring cable instead of the contact surface, whereby the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b can be freely arranged. can do.
 制制御回路20は、電源部、電圧制御部および抵抗測定部を有することができる。電源部は、第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間に高周波電圧(高周波を示す電圧)を印加する。電源部は、高周波の電圧を生成する発振回路、および発振された電圧を昇圧する昇圧回路等を有し、例えば、0.5MHz~4MHz程度の高周波電圧を第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間に印加するように構成される。ユーザの皮膚に第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bを接触させた状態で第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間に高周波の電圧を印加することで、皮膚に高周波の電流を流すことができる。 The control control circuit 20 can have a power supply unit, a voltage control unit, and a resistance measurement unit. The power supply unit applies a high frequency voltage (voltage indicating a high frequency) between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b. The power supply unit has an oscillation circuit that generates a high frequency voltage, a booster circuit that boosts the oscillated voltage, and the like. For example, a high frequency voltage of about 0.5 MHz to 4 MHz is applied to the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b. It is configured to apply between. By applying a high-frequency voltage between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b with the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b in contact with the user's skin, a high-frequency current can be passed through the skin. can.
 電圧制御部は、電源部を制御することで電源部が印加する高周波電圧を制御する。また、電圧制御部は、電圧の制御に抵抗測定部による測定結果を用いる。抵抗測定部は、第1電極10aと第2電極10bとがユーザの皮膚に接触した状態での第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間の抵抗値(電気抵抗値)を測定する。 The voltage control unit controls the high frequency voltage applied by the power supply unit by controlling the power supply unit. Further, the voltage control unit uses the measurement result by the resistance measurement unit for voltage control. The resistance measuring unit measures the resistance value (electrical resistance value) between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b when the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b are in contact with the user's skin.
 この抵抗値は、ユーザの皮膚の状態、および皮膚に塗布される化粧水といった皮膚外用剤の種類等によって変化する。例えば、人体の皮膚に高周波電流を流した場合、皮膚が発熱し、皮膚の温度上昇に伴って皮膚内部のインピーダンスが減少することが知られている。従って、皮膚の温度上昇に伴って、第1電極10aおよび第2電極10bの間に流れる電流が増加し、測定される抵抗値が小さくなる。抵抗測定部は、抵抗値の測定を決められた時間間隔(例えば0.5秒毎など)で行い、その度に測定した抵抗値を電圧制御部に供給する。 This resistance value changes depending on the condition of the user's skin and the type of external skin preparation such as lotion applied to the skin. For example, it is known that when a high-frequency current is passed through the skin of a human body, the skin generates heat and the impedance inside the skin decreases as the temperature of the skin rises. Therefore, as the temperature of the skin rises, the current flowing between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b increases, and the measured resistance value decreases. The resistance measuring unit measures the resistance value at a predetermined time interval (for example, every 0.5 seconds), and supplies the measured resistance value to the voltage control unit each time.
 電圧制御部は、抵抗測定部で測定された抵抗値に応じて、例えば、測定された抵抗値が大きいほど高周波電圧を高くする(高周波電圧の振幅を大きくする)ように高周波電圧を制御する。 The voltage control unit controls the high-frequency voltage according to the resistance value measured by the resistance measurement unit, for example, so that the larger the measured resistance value, the higher the high-frequency voltage (increasing the amplitude of the high-frequency voltage).
 第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間に印加される高周波電圧の下限値は、ピーク間電圧で50Vpp以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは70Vpp以上である。また、第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間に印加される高周波電圧の上限値は、ピーク間電圧で100V以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは90Vpp以下である。印加される高周波電圧は、例えば88Vppとすることができる。 The lower limit of the high frequency voltage applied between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b is preferably 50 Vpp or more, more preferably 70 Vpp or more in the peak voltage. The upper limit of the high frequency voltage applied between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b is preferably 100 V or less, more preferably 90 Vpp or less in the peak voltage. The applied high frequency voltage can be, for example, 88 Vpp.
 高周波電圧の印加は、連続印加であってもよいしパルス印加であってもよい。パルス印加の場合、高周波電圧の印加(ON)と不印加(OFF)とが周期的に繰り返される。パルス印加の繰り返しの周期は、0.1秒~2秒であってよく、例えば0.1秒、0.2秒、0.3秒、0.5秒、0.8秒、1秒または1.2秒 とすることができる。パルス印加における高周波電圧のON時間比であるデューティー比は、10%~99 %の範囲であることが好ましく、より好ましくは20%~80%の範囲である。デューティー比は、例えば40%とすることができる。 The application of the high frequency voltage may be continuous application or pulse application. In the case of pulse application, application (ON) and non-application (OFF) of high frequency voltage are periodically repeated. The cycle of repeating the pulse application may be 0.1 seconds to 2 seconds, for example, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.3 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 0.8 seconds, 1 second or 1 second. It can be .2 seconds. The duty ratio, which is the ON time ratio of the high frequency voltage in pulse application, is preferably in the range of 10% to 99%, more preferably in the range of 20% to 80%. The duty ratio can be, for example, 40%.
 高周波電圧およびデューティー比といった高周波の適用条件はユーザが設定可能であってもよい。高周波の適用条件をユーザが設定できるようにするため、高周波装置は、ユーザにより操作される入力デバイスを有することができる。入力デバイスとしては、例えばスイッチなど任意のデバイスを用いることができる。高周波の適用条件をユーザが設定可能である場合、制御回路20は、入力デバイスを通じた入力操作を受け付け、その受け付けた入力操作に従って、高周波電圧、連続印加かパルス印加か、並びにパルス印加の場合の周期およびデューティー比などのパラメータを制御する。高周波の適用条件の設定に際し、各パラメータは、それぞれ独立して設定可能であってもよいし、パルス印加における高周波電圧、周期およびデューティー比について複数の組み合わせが制御回路20にプリセットされており、そのプリセットされた組み合わせをユーザが選択するようになっていてもよい。 The application conditions of high frequency such as high frequency voltage and duty ratio may be set by the user. In order to allow the user to set the application conditions of the high frequency, the high frequency device may have an input device operated by the user. As the input device, any device such as a switch can be used. When the application condition of the high frequency can be set by the user, the control circuit 20 accepts the input operation through the input device, and according to the received input operation, the high frequency voltage, continuous application or pulse application, and pulse application are performed. Control parameters such as cycle and duty ratio. When setting the high frequency application conditions, each parameter may be set independently, or a plurality of combinations of high frequency voltage, period and duty ratio in pulse application are preset in the control circuit 20. The user may be able to select a preset combination.
 以上説明したような高周波装置を用いることで、ユーザの皮膚に容易に高周波を適用することができる。高周波装置は、次のように作動させることができる。まず、第1電極10aと第2電極10bとを、互いに間隔をあけてユーザの皮膚に接触させて配置する。次に、制御回路20により、真皮幹細胞の安定性を高めるように、ユーザの皮膚に接触させて配置した第1電極10aと第2電極10bとの間に高周波電圧を印加する。 By using the high frequency device as described above, the high frequency can be easily applied to the user's skin. The high frequency device can be operated as follows. First, the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b are placed in contact with the user's skin at intervals from each other. Next, the control circuit 20 applies a high-frequency voltage between the first electrode 10a and the second electrode 10b arranged in contact with the user's skin so as to enhance the stability of the dermal stem cells.

[Experiment 1-4]
Gene expression was confirmed under the same conditions as in Experiment 1-2 except that the high frequency peak voltage was set to 60 Vpp.
 実験1-1および実験1-2の結果を図2-2に示す。また、実験1-3および実験1-4の結果を図2-2に示す。なお、高周波の適用による遺伝子発現の変化の効果を確認するため、高周波を適用しなかった以外は実験1-1と同じ条件で遺伝子発現を確認し、図2-1および図2-2には、その結果も適用時間0分(以下「コントロール」とも言う)として併せて示した。実験1-1および実験1-2の遺伝子発現量は、コントロールでの遺伝子発現量を1としたときの相対値で示した。 The results of Experiment 1-1 and Experiment 1-2 are shown in Fig. 2-2. The results of Experiments 1-3 and 1-4 are shown in FIG. 2-2.

 図2―1および図2-2より、次のことがいえる。ITGA6については、高周波を適用することによって、発現量が増加している。特に、図2-1より、発現量が有意に増加していることがわかる(ダネットの検定によると、有意水準5%で有意差が認められた)。以上より、高周波の適用は、真皮幹細胞による接着因子の産生を増強させ、結果的に、真皮幹細胞の血管への結合性を高め、真皮幹細胞の安定化に寄与することが示された。 The following can be said from Fig. 2-1 and Fig. 2-2. The expression level of ITGA6 is increased by applying high frequency. In particular, it can be seen from FIG. 2-1 that the expression level is significantly increased (according to Dunnett's test, a significant difference was observed at the significance level of 5%). From the above, it was shown that the application of high frequency enhances the production of adhesion factors by dermal stem cells, and as a result, enhances the binding of dermal stem cells to blood vessels and contributes to the stabilization of dermal stem cells.
 [実験2:手術余剰皮膚への高周波の適用による真皮幹細胞の安定化]
 実験2では、対象として手術余剰皮膚を用い、実験1と同様に、周波数1MHz、ピーク間電圧88Vppの高周波を適用してITGA6陽性細胞の変化を確認した。高周波は、3分間適用した。高周波の適用は、繰り返し周期が1秒、デューティー比が40%のパルス印加とした。
[Experiment 2: Stabilization of dermal stem cells by applying high frequency to surplus skin]
In Experiment 2, changes in ITGA6-positive cells were confirmed by using surgical surplus skin as a subject and applying a high frequency with a frequency of 1 MHz and an inter-peak voltage of 88 Vpp in the same manner as in Experiment 1. The high frequency was applied for 3 minutes. The high frequency was applied by applying a pulse with a repetition period of 1 second and a duty ratio of 40%.
 実験2によって得られた、RF適用後、培養3日目の画像を図3-1、3-2に示す。なお、高周波の適用による効果を確認するため、高周波を適用しなかった以外は上記と同じ条件で培養組織を可視化し、図3-1および3-2には、その結果も上段に「コントロール(Control)」として併せて示した。右列は左列の四角部分を拡大した画像である。図3-1より、下段に示すRF負荷により、乳頭層のITGA6陽性細胞がコントロールに比べて増えている様子が観察された。図3-2より、CD34およびMCSPのそれぞれについて、下段に示すRF負荷により、ITGA6陽性細胞で幹細胞マーカーCD34やMCSPの発現が認められ、かつそれらの発現が上昇している様子が観察された。よって、RF適用により幹細胞が安定化すると言える。 The images obtained in Experiment 2 on the third day of culture after RF application are shown in FIGS. 3-1 and 3-2. In order to confirm the effect of applying high frequency, the cultured tissue was visualized under the same conditions as above except that high frequency was not applied. It is also shown as "Control)". The right column is an enlarged image of the square part in the left column. From FIG. 3-1 it was observed that the number of ITGA6-positive cells in the papillary layer increased compared to the control due to the RF load shown in the lower row. From FIG. 3-2, it was observed that the stem cell markers CD34 and MCSP were expressed in ITGA6-positive cells and their expression was increased by the RF loading shown in the lower row for each of CD34 and MCSP. Therefore, it can be said that stem cells are stabilized by applying RF.
 [実験3:手術余剰皮膚への高周波の適用によるECM産生の増強]
 実験3では、対象として手術余剰皮膚を用い、実験2と同様に、周波数1MHz、ピーク間電圧88Vppの高周波を適用して真皮のマトリックス産生の変化を確認した。高周波は、3分間適用した。高周波の適用は、繰り返し周期が1秒、デューティー比が40%のパルス印加とした。
[Experiment 3: Enhancement of ECM production by applying high frequency to surplus skin after surgery]
In Experiment 3, a surgical surplus skin was used as a subject, and a high frequency with a frequency of 1 MHz and a peak voltage of 88 Vpp was applied as in Experiment 2, and changes in dermis matrix production were confirmed. The high frequency was applied for 3 minutes. The high frequency was applied by applying a pulse with a repetition period of 1 second and a duty ratio of 40%.
 実験3によって得られた、RF適用後、培養3日目の画像を図4-1および4-2に示す。なお、高周波の適用による効果を確認するため、高周波を適用しなかった以外は上記と同じ条件で培養組織を可視化し、図4-1および4-2には、その結果も上段に「コントロール(Control)」として併せて示した。図4-1および4-2より、下段に示すRF負荷により、線維芽細胞によるV型コラーゲンおよびフィブリリン1の発現がコントロールに比べて増えている様子が観察された。RFの適用によりマトリックスの産生が促進され、肌の張りに寄与すると考えられる。 The images obtained in Experiment 3 on the third day of culture after RF application are shown in FIGS. 4-1 and 4-2. In order to confirm the effect of applying high frequency, the cultured tissue was visualized under the same conditions as above except that high frequency was not applied. It is also shown as "Control)". From FIGS. 4-1 and 4-2, it was observed that the expression of V-type collagen and fibrillin 1 by fibroblasts was increased by the RF load shown in the lower row as compared with the control. It is considered that the application of RF promotes the production of matrix and contributes to the tension of the skin.
