Scalp Massager {A Massage Unit for a Head Skin}

The present invention relates to a scalp massager, and in particular, the laser projection efficiency is provided by inserting a heat providing function into the laser irradiator and having a scalp massage cover detachable to the laser irradiator body to simultaneously provide heat when irradiating the laser to the scalp. The present invention also relates to a scalp massager which increases the efficiency of hair loss prevention by massaging the scalp with a scalp massage cover after laser irradiation.

Generally, hair or hair grows and grows through three stages of hair growth such as growing, degenerative, and resting periods. Adults have about 100,000 hairs, and about 80 hairs per day are normal. When the abnormal progress is called alopecia (脫毛 症).

Alopecia is a disease in which hair that normally grows is lost due to some cause, and the male hormone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the catalysis of 5α reducing element, and then combined with the androgen receptor and breastmilk. It is known to reduce hair follicle function and damage blood vessels, causing hair loss. The causes of hair loss include genetic factors, imbalances in hormone secretion (e.g. androgen overproduction), mental stress, environmental pollution, blood circulation disorders of the scalp, malnutrition, diseases (e.g. thyroid disease), autoimmune disorders, anticancer agents And anti-thyroid drugs, oral contraceptives, and hair-washing habits.

Treatment of alopecia, such as masculine alopecia (a condition in which hair loss begins on the frontal and frontal heads of the head, gradually enlarges, thin and weak hairs first, and eventually disappears), is used to treat hair loss completely B. There are surgical methods and drug treatments in which hair follicles are removed from the side of the head and transplanted into the hair loss area. Currently commercially available hair regrowth or wool is developed to improve the blood circulation of the skin and to nourish the hair root, but these are not all drugs, and those that have not been proven to be effective as quasi-drugs such as cosmetics.

 In addition, there are only two officially recognized drug treatments such as Minoxidil and Propecia, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and there is still no satisfactory level of treatment for alopecia patients.

On the other hand, research on the treatment of alopecia with laser has been in progress for a long time, and the biostimulation effect by low power laser irradiation has attracted much attention after pioneering research by Professor Mester at the University of Budapest, Hungary, in the early 1970s. Much research is being done on the medical use of low power lasers. These studies have shown that low-power lasers are effective in healing wounds and pain relief, and published papers suggest that low-power lasers increase blood flow in irradiated areas. The bioeffects of low power lasers are, for example, "T. I. Karu 'Low-power laser therapy', In: Biomedical Photonics Handbook, Ch. 48 (2003), 48-1 to 48-25 '', `` M. Schaffer, H. Bonel, R. Sroka, P.M. Schaffer, M. Bosch, M. Reiser and E. Dunmke, 'Effects of 780 nm diode laser irradiation on blood microcirculation: preliminary findings on timedependent T1-weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)', J. Photochem. Photibiol. B: Biol. 54 (2000) 55 "60", "A. Schindl, G. Heinze, M. Schindl, H Pernerstorfer-Schon and L. Schindl, 'Systemic effects of low-intensity laser irradiation on skin microcirculation in patients with diabetic microangiopathy', Microvascular Research 64 (2002) 240-246 '' It is shown in the literature.

The components of the present invention largely comprises a laser irradiation apparatus 100, a scalp massage cover 200, and a laser irradiator holder 300.

The laser irradiator 100 is based on a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and both sides are slightly deformed into an elliptical shape or the upper and lower sides are deformed into a slightly elliptical shape, so that the palm irradiator 100 can be easily seated with the palm of the hand.

The laser irradiator 100 is provided with a laser diode 110 and a heat providing means 120 on the central axis, the hair separation comb 130 is arranged at both sides of the laser diode 110 at regular intervals.

The laser diode 110 may be provided with a red laser diode or a near infrared infrared diode, and a red laser diode may use a laser diode (for example, QL65D5SA) composed of an InGaAIP semiconductor, and the near infrared laser diode may be an ALGaAs semiconductor. Laser diodes (eg, QL78C6SA) that are constructed can be used.

In addition, the heat providing means 120 for providing heat in the region where the laser diode 110 is aligned is further mounted, the heat providing means 120 is made of a heat generating resistor such as nichrome wire, By converting the external power into heat and dissipating heat through the top surface, the user sends the appropriate heat to the scalp when combing the hair.

In addition, the comb brush 130 is installed in the laser irradiator 100, but a certain number of both sides of the portion where the laser diode 110 is installed to install the comb when combing the hair combing the hair when the laser beam is properly separated To be done. Of course, the comb brush can be arranged in a number of lines, but preferably formed in two lines on both sides around the laser diode 110 to comb the hair when combing the hair 130 to clean up the hair Accordingly, the laser light emitted from the laser diode 110 can directly stimulate the scalp. In addition, the comb 130 is arranged in an elliptical shape in the longitudinal direction can be arranged while facilitating the hair along the elliptical shape of the head.

The present invention is not only to emit a laser to the scalp but to provide a laser to the scalp in a state in which heat is provided, thereby maximizing the stimulation efficiency of the scalp to further help in preventing hair loss.

That is, in the prior art, only the laser is configured to emit to the scalp, but the present invention is to provide the heat to the scalp at the same time to emit the laser to the scalp so that the input of the laser is made more efficient.

Therefore, the use of the present invention can maximize the scalp stimulation effect of the laser is very effective in the prevention of hair loss or hair loss treatment according to the scalp stimulation.

The laser irradiator 100 is supplied with power from a power supply, but is converted to a state down to an appropriate voltage using a normal adapter and supplied. The laser irradiator 100 may use a power source using a secondary battery, if necessary. As the secondary battery, for example, a lithium ion battery may be used. When the secondary battery is used as described above, it is convenient to carry and move because charging is possible and no power line connected to an external power source is required.

When the laser irradiator holder 300 of the present invention is provided with a power input terminal, when the laser irradiator 100 is coupled, external power is input to the laser irradiator 100 through the laser irradiator holder 300 to be installed inside the laser irradiator. Charge the secondary battery.

In addition, the present invention further comprises a scalp massage cover 200 detachable from the laser irradiator 100, the scalp massage cover 200 may be directly coupled to the body of the laser irradiator 100, the coupling force In order to further enhance the body of the laser irradiator to form a sliding groove (100a) long in the longitudinal direction, the sliding groove (100a) to the scalp massage cover 200 can be coupled and removed.

That is, since the scalp massage cover 200 is used separately from the laser irradiator 100, the scalp massage cover 200 is separated from the laser irradiator 100 when the laser is irradiated, and the scalp massage when the scalp is massaged. The cover 200 is used to couple to the laser irradiator 100 body, the coupling method may be coupled to the scalp massage cover 200 directly to the laser irradiator 100 body as described above, more powerful coupling If you want to form a sliding groove (100a) in the laser irradiator 100 body, correspondingly to form a guide projection (200a) in the scalp massage cover 200 corresponding to the guide projection (a along the sliding groove (100a) 200a) can be configured to move and combine.

The scalp massage cover 200 has a sliding shape formed in the body of the laser irradiator 100 by being formed in a state in which the guide protrusion 200a is bent inward as a cap (∩) having an overall shape open ( 100a), and at this time, the upper surface of the scalp massage cover 200 forms a space portion therein and forms a concave-convex 210 having a conical section in the longitudinal direction, thereby coupling the scalp massage cover to the laser irradiator. The cover 200 was prevented from contacting the comb 130 at the time.

That is, when the concave-convex 210 is not formed on the upper portion of the scalp massage cover 200, the scalp massage cover 200 is caught on the comb brush when combined with the laser irradiator, thereby making it impossible to combine. Two irregularities 210 were formed on the upper portion of the massage cover 200 so that the scalp massage cover 200 was coupled to the upper portion of the massage cover 200 without colliding with the comb brush 130 when coupled to the laser irradiator 100.

In addition, a plurality of scalp stimulation protrusions 220 are installed at portions except for the uneven portion 210 of the scalp massage cover 200, and the scalp stimulation protrusions 220 are manufactured in a pin shape, and the material thereof. Silver synthetic resin is suitable. Scalp stimulation protrusion 220 is preferably provided with a cushioning means 221 of the ball form at the end to prevent too strong stimulus is applied to the scalp, according to the user scalp stimulation protrusion 220 Even if you touch the head to prevent damage to the scalp.

In addition, the scalp stimulation protrusion 220 may be arranged in the form of a straight line, it may be produced in a round oval shape. That is, when viewed from the front, both sides are high and the center is formed in a low ellipse shape. Since the head of the person is rounded, the scalp stimulation protrusion may be produced in a rounded ellipse similar to the shape of a human head.

The touch panel 230 and the display panel 240 are installed on the back of the main body of the present invention. The touch panel 230 includes a power switch 231, a laser control switch 232, and a thermal temperature control switch 233. In addition, the display panel 240 displays power input information, battery information, thermal temperature information, laser size information, and the like.

For example, the power switch 231 installed on the touch panel 230 may be turned on to control the use of the laser irradiator 100, and four control switches may be installed on the touch panel 230 to control the controller 250. By interlocking with), by operating the left and right direction keys, the laser control switch 232, the laser size can be adjusted by the electrical control of the control unit 250, and by operating the up and down direction keys, the thermal temperature control switch 233, the control unit 250 By the electrical control of the heat intensity can be adjusted, and the result can be output to the display panel 240.

The power switch 231 may be installed on the touch panel 230 or may be installed on the side of the body of the laser irradiator 100. That is, the power switch 231 can be installed at various points depending on the design needs.

Looking at the overall operation of the present invention as follows.

If the laser irradiator 100 is connected to the power supply device or the power switch is operated while the battery is connected, the laser irradiator 100 may be used.

Then, when the user operates the left and right direction keys located on the touch panel 230, the laser irradiation amount is adjusted, and the heat intensity is adjusted while the up and down direction keys are operated.

When the adjustment of the heat and laser dose is completed in the above, the laser is irradiated to the scalp by combing the hair. At this time, since the comb installed in the laser irradiator is aligned in an oval shape as a whole, combing is possible while covering the head.

In addition, since the heat is supplied to the scalp together with the laser irradiation, the laser is irradiated in the expanded state by the heat supply to the scalp, thereby maximizing the scalp stimulation due to the laser irradiation.

After the laser irradiation is coupled to the scalp massage cover 200 to the laser irradiator 100. Then, the scalp massage cover 200 may be completely mounted to the laser irradiator 100 to massage the scalp with the scalp massage cover 200 while holding the laser irradiator 100.

At this time, since the scalp massage cover 200 is formed with a plurality of scalp stimulation protrusions 220, the scalp massage cover can be easily massaged by tapping the scalp massage cover 200. Since the scalp stimulation protrusions 220 are arranged in an elliptical shape, the entire surface of the scalp may be easily massaged while the scalp stimulation protrusions 220 surround the scalp when touching the scalp massage cover 200.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical spirit of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.
