Here, the present invention constitutes a plasma generator for ion therapy and iontophoresis for plasma treatment in a single housing (body), thereby realizing two treatment functions as a single device.

The operation of the skin treatment apparatus using plasma according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail as follows.

First, the user turns on the power switch of the skin treatment apparatus 100 using plasma for treatment of skin diseases such as atopy, healing of skin wounds, or disinfection.

When the power switch is turned on, charging power of the battery 10 is supplied to the main controller 60 and a module that requires power, respectively.

When the power is supplied, the main controller 60 initializes and checks the function set through the automatic setting unit 40. Here, the user can check a method of using the skin treatment apparatus or a drinking pattern through the automatic setting unit 40.

When the method of using the skin treatment device or the massage operation pattern is requested by the automatic setting unit 40, the main controller 60 extracts the method of using the skin treatment device stored in the memory 30 and expresses it through the display unit 50 Do it. In this way, the user can solve the inconvenience such as browsing the manual to confirm the use method. In addition, when the user is requested to confirm the massage operation pattern, the main controller 60 extracts the patterned massage operation pattern stored in the memory 30 and displays it through the display unit 50. Here, the massage motion pattern is a massage motion pattern using plasma, and it is assumed that the massage motion pattern optimized in advance is stored in the memory 30. The user checks the massage motion pattern displayed through the display unit 50 and selects the desired massage motion pattern to set the automatic motion.

Thereafter, when the user selects a treatment function, the main controller 60 controls the ion electrode 20 and / or the plasma driver switch board 70 to control the ion treatment function and the plasma treatment function. Here, the ion treatment function and the plasma treatment function may be performed simultaneously or separately, and the present invention will be described and assumed to be performed simultaneously for convenience of description.

According to the simultaneous selection of the ion therapy function and the plasma therapy function, the main controller 60 simultaneously lights the ion therapy function LED and the plasma therapy function LED through the display unit 50 to recognize the function selected by the user. Here, when the power switch of the plasma treatment device is turned on, the main controller 60 detects the charge amount of the battery 10 and displays it through the display unit 50. The battery charge indication is continuously detected and displayed in real time until the power is turned off. The charging amount display method may be displayed as a number (%) or an image having a shape such as a battery, and displayed as a level according to the charging amount.

In addition, the main controller 60 operates the ion electrode 20 according to the selection of the ion treatment function to generate therapeutic ions. Here, the ion electrode 20 generates ions using an ion introduction method. That is, the ion introduction method is a treatment method that increases the skin permeation of ionic drugs by changing the electrical environment of the skin by applying a potential difference to the skin. Here, it is preferable that the ion electrode 20 is also controlled to circulate to maximize characteristics and ion treatment efficiency.

In addition, the main controller 60 generates a module control signal to the plasma driver switching board 70 in response to the massage operation pattern selected by the user.

Therefore, when five plasma modules are used, each module operates for 2 seconds at a predetermined timing, and then operates for 2 seconds after 10 seconds.

The plasma driver switching board 70 switches so that a plurality of plasma modules 81-85 in the plasma module unit 80 sequentially operate according to the module control signal of the main controller 60. Here, switching means supplying operating power.

It may include the same configuration.

Here, the plasma module unit 80 uses a plurality of plasma modules and generates plasma by sequentially operating them, thereby achieving the same effect as the conventional large-area large-power structure plasma generator, but each plasma module has a 1 W power. Since it can be operated with low power consumption, it has an excellent effect of reducing power consumption.

In order to further increase the efficiency of plasma treatment, the present invention may arrange electrodes provided in each plasma module as shown in FIG. 2. 2 is a conceptual diagram of plasma reactor and electrode polarity.

On the other hand, the main controller 60 detects the operating state and the completion state of the plasma treatment device in real time, and displays the detection result on the display unit 50, so that the user is convenient in using the plasma treatment device. If an abnormality is detected while monitoring the operation state, the operation of the treatment device is automatically stopped to prevent the therapist from being damaged by the abnormality.
