JP4530211B2 - Iontophoresis and treatment with far infrared rays for active ingredients into hair - Google Patents

Description

  This invention is a treatment apparatus that efficiently introduces an active ingredient of a treatment solution ionized by ionizing a treatment solution that is a pre-treatment solution or a post-treatment solution when an active ingredient is applied to the hair, particularly for hair. The present invention relates to an iontophoresis and ultrasonic vibration imparting treatment device in which an iontophoresis device for treatment solution and a far infrared ray imparting device are integrated.

  Conventionally, it has been tried to give the active ingredient of the treatment solution to the skin with weak hair to make it supple, smooth or shiny, and the skin with hair to increase the thinned hair Attempts have been made to permeate tissues and cosmetic solutions directly.

  However, it is not easy to penetrate cosmetics and drug solutions directly into the skin tissue where hair grows in this way. This is because the skin tissue on which the hair grows consists of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, and there is a barrier zone that protects against the entry of excess water and toxic substances at the bottom of the stratum corneum on the most surface side of the epidermis. is there. For this reason, it is difficult to infiltrate these cosmetics and drug solutions into the dermis and under the skin where cosmetics and drug solutions are most effective.

By the way, bodily fluids contained in the body and cells constituting the skin are composed of electrolyte solutions. For example, sweat components such as Na, K, Ca or Mg are contained as positive ions in body fluids and cells. Cl, HCO _3, H ₂ PO _4, etc. are contained as negative ions. Therefore, these ions can be moved freely as long as an electric circuit is formed in the human body. On the other hand, a weak current is safe to pass through the human body, and when such a weak current is applied to the skin, the weak current extends vertically between the epidermis and the dermis across the barrier zone below the stratum corneum. Current can flow. Using this principle, an ionized component in a solution is used as a flow of ions, and a method of penetrating these ions to the dermis is practiced in the medical field and is known as an iontophoresis method.

  A method of growing hair by allowing a medicinal component to penetrate into the skin by such an ion permeation method (for example, see Patent Document 1) has already been developed. Furthermore, there is a method of ionizing water-soluble active ingredients by brushing the scalp with a brush that has generated a high-frequency pulse to deeply penetrate the scalp within a short time (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In addition, there is a hair generating apparatus (for example, see Patent Document 3) using comb teeth that act on the scalp.

  Therefore, using these methods, a method of allowing these active ingredients to permeate into the skin by ionizing components effective for the skin such as vitamin A, active vitamin C, and amino acids and causing a weak current to flow through the skin. There is an iontophoresis method that improves defects such as spots, fine lines, skin tension, acne, redness and open pores, and makes the skin clean and transparent. This iontophoresis method allows the active ingredient to penetrate into a deeper skin layer beyond the barrier zone just below the epidermis, compared to a cosmetic method in which an effective ingredient is simply applied to the skin.

  On the other hand, a method of allowing an active ingredient to permeate the skin by applying ultrasonic vibration to the skin is performed, and this method is implemented as an ultrasonic vibration applying method. In this method, by applying ultrasonic vibration to the skin, a hollowing phenomenon occurs in the skin, so that the active ingredient penetrates deep into the skin.

  By the way, both the iontophoresis method and the ultrasonic vibration imparting method described above allow the active ingredient to permeate directly into the skin on which the hair grows, but the hair itself is beautiful by permeating the nutrient directly into the hair itself. It does not make healthy hair.

  On the other hand, there is a technique (for example, see Patent Document 3) that straightens curled hair by causing ultrasonic waves to act on the hair and infiltrate the drug solution. Further, a method of permitting hair by applying a substance containing a mercapto group to the hair by ultrasonic vibration (for example, see Patent Document 4) or a solution containing an amino acid contained in a protein that forms hair is applied to hair. There is a method (for example, refer to patent document 5) of setting hair.

  These techniques are to apply ultrasonic waves to the hair, but are a kind of permanent method for curling the hair and eliminating curling of the curled hair, and applying a treatment solution to the hair itself. It does not improve into healthy beautiful hair. Moreover, if ultrasonic waves are directly applied to the hair, the lipid oil content in the hair is taken out of the hair, which may cause damage to the hair.

  By the way, a treatment solution is applied to damaged hair or weak hair, or a rinse, that is, a conditioner, is applied to the hair to prepare it to give a suppleness, a smoothness, and a gloss, and sometimes static electricity is prevented. However, it is common to apply a treatment solution or conditioner to the hair by hand, or to spray the solution onto the hair, which requires skill to apply uniformly and efficiently.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that an effective treatment solution is obtained by performing a pretreatment for imparting to the hair a treatment solution that is a pretreatment solution or a posttreatment solution when a nutrient component is applied to the hair for care. It is intended to provide a device for easily introducing components into hair efficiently and ionizing the treatment solution to introduce ions into the hair.

  The present invention provides a treatment active ingredient that gives a suppleness, smoothness, and gloss directly to the hair so that the cuticle is neatly aligned, smooth, smooth, and smooth and healthy. When the treatment solution is ionized and introduced into the hair, ultrasonic mist is generated in advance to moisten the hair, thereby increasing the penetration power of the treatment ingredients into the hair and simply ionizing the treatment solution. Compared to those introduced from the skin of the head, the treatment solution can be directly and efficiently applied to the hair, and the polarity of the ionization electrode can be freely switched between plus and minus. It is possible to introduce ions into hair freely in either negative ion solutions or positive ion solutions. As a result, the treatment solution can be widely used without being bound by various polarities, and further, the treatment effect on the hair can be further enhanced by applying far-infrared rays to the ion-introduced hair.

Can be provided.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an embodiment of the iontophoresis and far infrared ray imparting treatment apparatus according to the first invention of the present invention. This iontophoresis and far infrared ray imparting treatment apparatus comprises a treatment instrument 1 which is held and handled by hand, a control power supply 17 having a control section and a power supply section. As shown in FIG. 2, the treatment device 1 is composed of one grip handle 6 and the other handle handle 10, and the handle handle 6 and the handle handle 10 rotate in a hinge shape with the handle handle base 2 as a fulcrum, A bifurcated bifurcated bifurcated projection projects from the grip handle 6 and the grip handle 10. The rear end portion of the grip handle base 2 of the grip handle 6 and the handle handle 10 has a wiring cord 4, and the wiring cord 4 is connected to a control power supply device 17.

  More specifically, the inner surface 7 on the distal end side of one grip handle 6 of the treatment instrument 1 is formed on the hair clamping portion 8, and the inner surface 11 on the distal end side of the other grip handle 10 is similarly formed on the hair clamping portion 12. Has been. The hair to be treated is clamped by the hair clamping unit 8 and the hair clamping unit 12. In another embodiment, comb teeth 8 a are formed around the longitudinal direction of the hair clamping portion 8 of one grip handle 6. The tips of the comb teeth 8a face the inner surface 11 on the tip side of the other grip handle 10, and the hair to be received and processed by the inner surface 11 on the tip side is trimmed. However, the comb teeth 8a are not essential and can be omitted. On the inner surface of the hair gripping portion 12 of the other grip 10, an ionization electrode 13 and a far infrared irradiation surface 14 extending in the longitudinal direction are arranged in parallel. The ionization electrode 13 ionizes the treatment liquid previously applied to the hair, and effectively introduces the ionized treatment liquid into the hair. On the other hand, the far-infrared irradiation surface 14 functions to make the hair cuticle easy to wet by subdividing the treatment liquid clusters effectively introduced into the hair by irradiating the far-infrared rays with the above-mentioned ionized hair. To do.

  Furthermore, an ultrasonic mist generating part 9 having a container 9a for receiving water for mist is disposed at the tip of the hair holding part 8 of one grip handle 6. As shown in FIG. 3, a mist outlet 15 is disposed on the inner surface 7 side of the tip end side of the grip handle 6 of the ultrasonic mist generator 9. An ultrasonic generation switch 16 is provided on the outer surface of one handle 6. An ultrasonic vibration plate 9b made of an ultrasonic vibrator that emits ultrasonic waves of 20 kHz to 200 kHz is disposed in the ultrasonic mist generating unit 9, and water dripped from the container 9a is more than the ultrasonic vibration plate 9b. Mist is generated in response to the sonic vibration, and the generated mist is ejected from the mist outlet 15 of the inner surface 7 on the front end side of the handle 6. On the other hand, the control power supply device 17 connected by the wiring cord 4 from the rear end portion of the grip handle base portion 2 of the treatment instrument 1 incorporates therein an ionization circuit portion, a far infrared ray generating power source portion and an ultrasonic wave generating power source portion. Further, an ion introduction wiring cord 18 is extended from the control power supply device 17 to the outside, and an ionization electrode surface having a polarity opposite to that of the ionization electrode 13 of the treatment device 1 is provided at the tip of the ion introduction wiring cord 18. 19

  Furthermore, when the embodiment of the invention of claim 2 is shown, the ionization electrode 13 provided on the inner surface 7 on the distal end side of one grip handle 6 of the treatment instrument 1 and the opposite polarity of the distal end of the ion introduction wiring cord 18 are provided. A polarity switching switch 20 for switching the polarity of the ionization electrode surface 19 is provided in the device box of the control power supply device 17. By switching the polarity changeover switch 20 provided in the control power supply device 17, the ionization electrode 13 of the control power supply device 17 and the ionization electrode surface 19 from the control power supply device 17 are positively ionized electrodes having opposite polarities or Switchable to negative ionization electrode.

  A method of using the iontophoresis and far infrared ray imparting treatment apparatus in the present invention will be described. For the hair to be treated, water is put in the container 9a of the ultrasonic mist generating unit 9 of the treatment instrument 1 in advance, and the ultrasonic wave generating switch 16 on the outer surface of the grip handle 6 is turned on. Accordingly, the mist is ejected vigorously from the mist outlet 15 on the inner surface side of the tip end portion of the grip handle 6. In this state, the mist spout 15 of the handle 6 is uniformly held over the hair to make the hair wet. For example, when the hair curled by perm is made straight, the wet hair is clamped between the grip handle 6 and the grip handle 10 and then the far infrared rays of the control power supply 17 are generated. The power supply unit is turned on, and the pinch 5 of the treatment device 1 is lifted from the hairline to the hair tip side while irradiating the far-infrared light from the far-infrared irradiation surface 14 on the inner surface side of the grip 10 . The hair is quickly straightened by squeezing it up while irradiating this far infrared ray.

  On the other hand, the active ingredient of the treatment solution is efficiently infiltrated into the hair, and nutrients are imparted to the hair so that the cuticle on the hair surface is arranged to make the hair lustrous. In this case, when the hair is wetted as described above, the treatment liquid is evenly applied to the wetted hair so that the treatment liquid can be easily adapted to the hair. After the handle 6 and the grip handle 10 are clamped, the far-infrared light generating power source switch of the control power supply device 17 is turned on, and the clamp tool 5 of the treatment device 1 is lifted from the hairline to the hair tip side. At this time, the treatment liquid can be rapidly permeated into the hair by turning on the far-infrared light generating power source and lifting it up while irradiating the far-infrared light. In the above, in order to uniformly apply the treatment liquid to the hair, when the hair is moistened, the treatment liquid is put into the ultrasonic wave mist of the treatment liquid instead of the water to be put into the container 9a of the ultrasonic mist generating unit 9. Is generated and sprayed on the hair, and the treatment liquid is easily applied to the hair as the hair becomes wet.

  In this case, for example, if the treatment solution to be applied to the hair is a negative ion solution, the polarity of the ionization electrode 13 provided on the inner surface 7 on the tip side of one grip handle 6 is set to be for introducing negative ions. In order to do this, the polarity changeover switch 20 of the control power supply device 17 is switched to the minus side. By turning on the polarity switching switch 20 in this way, the hair side of the ionization electrode 13 is made minus, and the positively ionized useful component of the treatment solution is efficiently ionized into the hair. In this case, the ionization electrode surface 19 at the tip of the ion insertion cord 18 of the control power supply device 17 is brought into contact with the skin surface of the finger of the person who is treating the hair, and the circuit for ionization is the skin of the device, hair, human body, finger. The surface and device are generated, and the positive ion component of the treatment liquid is introduced into the hair. On the contrary, when negative ions of the treatment liquid are introduced, the negative ion component of the treatment liquid is introduced into the hair by switching the polarity changeover switch 20 to the positive side.

  In the above, when the far infrared ray generation switch of the control power supply 17 is turned on simultaneously with the ion introduction, the far infrared ray is irradiated from the far infrared ray irradiation surface 14 of the grip handle 10 to the hair during ion insertion during the ion introduction. By reducing the size of the clusters, the ionic components of the treatment liquid are more efficiently introduced into the hair and sufficiently penetrated.
