Description

Hair comb for scalp treatment}

More particularly, the present invention relates to a hair comb for self-healing of a patient suffering from scalp disease, more specifically, a hair follicle which causes a disease in a scalp to be killed by a light source, To a scalp treatment hair comb to maximize the treatment by stimulating the capillaries of the scalp with a massage function.

Modern people's hair and scalp are always exposed to polluted atmosphere and are frequently suffered from damage to hair and scalp and accelerated aging of hair due to frequent use of hair styling products such as mousse, hair spray and perm medicines. In addition, germs and parasites generated by various pollutants propagate to hair and scalp, thereby damaging the health of the scalp. In particular, dandruff, a disease in which dead cells are peeled off from the scalp, is known as a causative organism of Malassezia mycorrhiza, which grows on the scalp. Treatment of such dandruff generally involves dispersing these agents such as shampoos, gels or lotions An antifungal agent using a suitable medium for immersing it on the outer skin has been used.

However, antifungal agents have low efficacy and persistence. Recently, attempts have been made to use light sources to treat damaged scalp and hair. For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 1095869 discloses a " functional comb using a far-infrared light emitting diode ", and Korean Patent Registration No. 1202822 discloses a " scalp care device using a light source ".

According to the former, it is possible to operate a far infrared ray emitting diode (LED), which is advantageous to the scalp during combing, and to operate an ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV LED) to kill bacteria or mites living in the combs after combing, Treatment. However, the condition of the scalp can not be confirmed unless it is other person or professional, and the treatment process can not be known precisely. That is, there is a risk that it is dangerous to use until an individual is vaguely treated. The latter, on the other hand, has taken a picture of the scalp and proposed a technique to remotely transmit the image information of the taken scalp to the doctor's hospital.

However, since the former and the latter depend only on a simple light source in order to treat the scalp disease, the treatment period is prolonged, and the actual therapeutic effect is insufficient. In other words, in order to regenerate the scalp, it is important to stimulate capillary blood vessels of the scalp so that nutrition is provided due to smooth blood circulation. Of course, the latter is replaced by a massage protrusion to stimulate the scalp in place of the comb, but there is an inconvenient problem that the user must constantly tap or brush. Therefore, there is a problem that the user can not observe the time required for actual phototherapy or various side effects occur because the light source is concentrated on a specific part of the scalp.
