Description

Complex therapeutic apparatus

More particularly, the present invention relates to a combined therapy apparatus for generating ultrasound and a laser for treating skin aesthetic or skin diseases.

The skin of a person continues to aging after 20's, and the beauty decreases visually. In particular, the skin of the face is young as possible because it makes the other person to recognize the impression of the person decisively and to measure the age. It will make a lot of efforts to slow the aging of the facial skin to look beautiful.

The cause of skin aging naturally progresses with age, but external factors greatly change the progress of skin aging. Typical causes of skin aging include the effects of active oxygen (oxygen-free radical) And the like.

Thus, in the case of age-related skin aging, it is not possible to artificially control, but when external factors are eliminated or inhibited, for example, the removal of active oxygen generated in the skin, the sun protection, By slowing the progress of skin aging, you can look younger and younger than your age.

Active oxygen, which is one of the causes of skin aging, is a highly oxidative oxygen scavenger that appears in the process of metabolizing the oxygen we breathe into energy. It occurs in the body, but it causes active oxygen in the skin even when exposed to ultraviolet rays.

These reactive oxygen species attack the normal DNA and cellular tissues of the human body, destroying the genetic information of the DNA, collapsing the cell membrane, and forming abnormal cellular proteins.

In particular, facial skin is easily exposed to ultraviolet rays, so active oxygen is easily generated, and the lipid of the facial skin cell membrane is oxidized to be made into peroxidized lipid. This protein is combined with protein to become an aged pigment called lipofuscin, And the melanin pigment is affected, so that spots and freckles occur on the skin, and the skin elasticity fiber collagen is altered, so that the skin is stretched or wrinkles are generated.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a combined treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 4 is a schematic view for explaining an ultrasonic wave generator and a laser generator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the complex therapy apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be an apparatus for generating ultrasound and a laser used for treatment of skin aesthetic or skin diseases.

The complex treatment apparatus 1 according to one embodiment includes a body 10, an ultrasonic generator 20, a laser generator 30, and a wavelength determiner 40.

The main body portion 10 is formed with an inner space defined by the first space and the second space.

1 and 3, when the main body 10 has a cylindrical shape, a first space is provided at a central portion of the cylinder, and a first space is provided at a central portion of the cylindrical body. And the second space is provided at the rim portion of the column except for the second space.

1 and 3, the main body 10 is shown as a cylinder, but the main body 10 may have a columnar shape in which a prism or a cylinder and a prism are mixed.

The first space accommodates the ultrasonic wave generator 20 and the shape and size of the first space are determined according to the shape and size of the ultrasonic wave generator 20.

The ultrasonic wave generator 20 accommodated in the first space includes a converter 22 for converting an alternating current supplied from a power source into a mechanical vibration to generate ultrasonic waves and a converter 22 disposed in front of the converter 22, And a path providing unit 24 for providing a path through which the ultrasonic waves generated from the ultrasonic transducer are moved.

The converting unit 22 is a kind of ultrasonic transducer for irradiating or radiating ultrasonic waves to a treatment site for treatment of a target object (see Fig. 4 (a)).

 Ultrasonic transducers can be applied in various industries. Particularly, it is a device for treating an area of a patient's body by irradiating an ultrasonic wave from a body surface of a subject, treating the area to be treated with a radiated ultrasonic wave, or using a reflected ultrasonic wave to obtain an image of a tomographic layer or blood flow of the soft tissue, It is mainly used in medical devices such as medical treatment devices.

An ultrasonic transducer utilizes the characteristics of a piezoelectric body that generates ultrasonic waves. Here, a piezoelectric substance is a substance that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.

For example, when an electrode is formed at the upper and lower ends of a piezoelectric body used in an ultrasonic transducer and a power source is applied, the piezoelectric body vibrates and converts electric signals and acoustic signals into each other.

The conversion unit 22 may be a HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) transducer for the purpose of treating a target object, and may include an image transducer and an ultrasonic transducer combined with a transducer A transducer may also be used.

The path separator 24 is composed of water from which air has been removed, so that ultrasonic waves generated by the converting unit 22 can transfer water to the medium. The ultrasonic waves generated by the converting unit 22 have a problem of uncertain energy transfer when air is propagated as a medium. Therefore, water is used as a medium, which is dense than air so that energy transmission through the ultrasonic waves can be efficiently performed.

The second space is accommodated in the laser generating part 30 and the shape and size of the second space are determined according to the shape and size of the laser generating part 30. [

The laser generating unit 30 is a device which generates a laser of strong light having a very pure color. Laser is the first letter of a phrase called light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

Most light sources emit light of various wavelengths.

As the light propagates and spreads, the intensity of the light gradually decreases as it moves away from the light source. This is because the atoms that actually emit light in the light source emit light whose wavelength, phase, and direction are not constant. On the other hand, lasers emit light of uniform wavelength and texture.

Therefore, the laser beam is strongly intense, has a single color, and is transmitted far away with little change in diameter.

The laser can produce effects such as DNA / RNA synthesis rate, blood circulation promotion, enzyme activation and collagen production increase by the skin regeneration effect, and specifically the effect / effect amplification is different according to the wavelength of the laser light. This has already been mentioned above.

Meanwhile, the laser generation unit 30 of the complex treatment apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention generates a radar of the first wavelength or a laser of the second wavelength.

Specifically, the laser generating portion 30 includes a plurality of first irradiating portions 32 to which a laser of a first wavelength is irradiated and a plurality of second irradiating portions 34 to which a laser of a second wavelength is irradiated.

Here, the first wavelength may be 500 nm and the second wavelength may be 660 nm.

As described above, the 500-nm wavelength laser has a blue color, and it has thermal inflammation, inflammatory acne and oily skin care, and skin soothing.

In addition, the 660nm wavelength laser has a red color and is used for blood circulation promotion, cell activation and regeneration, cellulite improvement, and seborrheic acne treatment.

The first irradiating unit 32 and the second irradiating unit 34 will be described in detail with reference to the wavelength determining unit 40 described later with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. Fig.

5 and 6 are schematic diagrams for explaining a wavelength determining unit of a combined therapy apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5 and 6, the wavelength determining unit 40 of the combined treatment apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of spaced apart through holes H, So that the laser beam irradiated through the plurality of through holes H is irradiated to the outside.

Here, the plurality of through holes (H) are arranged so that the respective through holes (H) are spaced apart by a certain distance. 5 and 6, when the main body 10 has a cylindrical shape and the wavelength determining portion 40 is formed in a circular shape corresponding to the main body 10, the plurality of through holes H are circular And may be radially formed at a distance from the center.

The plurality of first irradiating portions 32 of the laser generating portion 30 are formed in a shape and size corresponding to the plurality of through holes H of the wavelength determining portion 40, The through hole H and the plurality of first irradiating portions 32 may be overlapped with each other. At this time, the number of the plurality of through holes (H) and the number of the plurality of first irradiation parts (32) may be the same.

The plurality of second irradiating portions 34 are also formed in a shape and size corresponding to the plurality of through holes H of the wavelength determining portion 40 so that the plurality of through holes H of the wavelength determining portion 40 and the plurality The second irradiation unit 34 may be arranged so as to overlap with each other. At this time, the number of the plurality of through holes (H) and the number of the plurality of second irradiation parts (34) may be the same.

Here, the plurality of first irradiating portions 32 and the plurality of second irradiating portions 34 may be irradiated or shielded to the outside according to the arrangement form with the wavelength determining portion 40.

That is, the plurality of first irradiating portions 32 for rotating the wavelength determining portion 40 by the external force to irradiate the laser of the first wavelength are allowed to pass therethrough, and a plurality of second irradiating portions (34) may be blocked by the wavelength determining section (40), or a plurality of second irradiating sections (34) for irradiating the laser of the second wavelength may be allowed to pass therethrough, and a plurality of 1 irradiation unit 32 can be blocked by the wavelength determination unit 40. [

In summary, either the first irradiating unit 32 or the second irradiating unit 34 irradiates to the outside through the plurality of through holes H of the wavelength determining unit 40, and the other one of the plurality of through holes H The laser irradiation to the outside can be cut off by the non-formed region.

Here, the irradiation portion irradiated to the outside through the plurality of through holes H is determined according to the degree of rotation of the wavelength determining portion 40 with respect to the main body portion 10.

For example, when a plurality of through holes H of the wavelength determining portion 40 and a plurality of first irradiating portions 32 are overlapped and arranged, a plurality of first irradiating portions 32 When the laser of the first wavelength is irradiated to the outside and the wavelength determining section 40 rotates about the main body 10 (see FIG. 5), the laser light of the first wavelength The amount of laser is gradually reduced by the wavelength determining unit 40. [

The plurality of through holes H are arranged so as to gradually overlap with the second irradiating portions 34 arranged adjacent to the first irradiating portions 32 by the rotation of the wavelength determining portion 40, The laser of the second wavelength of the second irradiation unit 34 is irradiated to the outside. At this time, the amount of the laser of the second wavelength radiated through the plurality of through holes H gradually increases until the plurality of through holes H and the plurality of second irradiation portions 34 are completely overlapped.

In short, the wavelength determining section 40 causes the laser of the first wavelength and the laser of the second wavelength to be sequentially and repeatedly irradiated when rotated in the same direction by the external force, The amount of the laser of the first wavelength or the second wavelength irradiated to the outside may be different depending on the degree of rotation by the laser.

The filter unit 50 may be disposed between the main body 110 and the wavelength determining unit 140 and may be rotated with respect to the main body 110 and the wavelength determining unit 140.

The filter portion 50 has a first through hole h1 and a second through hole h2 and a filter for reducing the laser intensity is formed in the second through hole h2.

The user can rotate the wavelength determining unit 140 to cause the laser beam of the first wavelength or the second wavelength to be emitted from the laser irradiating unit 130 to the outside. Specifically, the plurality of through holes of the wavelength determining unit 140 The laser of the first wavelength can be irradiated to the outside by rotating the wavelength determining portion 140 so as to be overlapped with the first irradiating portion 132. The plurality of through holes of the wavelength determining portion 140 can be irradiated onto the second irradiating portion 134, the laser of the second wavelength can be irradiated to the outside.

At this time, the user places the first through hole h1 of the filter portion 50 so as to overlap the through hole of the wavelength determining portion 140 and the first irradiating portion 132 or the second irradiating portion 134, 132 or the laser of the first wavelength or the second wavelength from the second irradiating unit 134 may be irradiated to the outside or the second through hole h2 of the filter unit 50 may be irradiated to the outside of the wavelength determining unit 140 And the laser light of the first wavelength or the second wavelength from the first irradiating unit 132 or the second irradiating unit 134 is irradiated to the outside through the through hole and the first irradiating unit 132 or the second irradiating unit 134 can do.

Here, the laser of the first wavelength or the second wavelength from the first irradiating unit 132 or the second irradiating unit 134 is irradiated by the filter formed in the second through hole h2 of the filter unit 50, And is irradiated to the outside.
