Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the treatment of skin or hair thinning/balding ailments on the scalp of a human.
  • Clinical treatment hoods are quite expensive, clumsy and could not be used for self treatment at home.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for treatment of ailments affecting the scalp of a human by the individual himself or herself, which apparatus solves the problems of erratic inconvenient and crippling treatments/procedures to cure a variety of skin or hair thinning/balding ailments of the scalp. This object is achieved with the apparatus as defined in the main claim. Preferred embodiments and developments are defined in the dependant claims.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of one embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention
  • Figs. 2a, 2b illustrate two different memory means arrangements for the apparatus according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 shows a top view of head mapped with "bands” and “quadrants",
  • Fig. 4 shows the apparatus according to the invention applied in positions for treating the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd quadrants, respectively.
  • the invention will now be described in the context of personal treatment or home treatment of ailments affecting the scalp of a human, the invention being aimed to solve the problems of erratic, inconvenient or crippling treatments/procedures to cure a variety of skin or hair thinning/balding ailments.
  • an apparatus is provided making possible a method to administer a precise and effective treatment, not interfering with any activities involving the use of the hands of the person being treated, in contrast to the use of hand operated pads, brushes and combs, the use of which interferes physically and mentally with other activities and also are prone to erratic treatment as the procedure is memory-less.
  • a view in perspective is shown of a preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention.
  • the apparatus according to the invention has holding means 2 to be applied against the head of a wearer to be treated, guide means 1 connected to said holding means 2, and treatment carriers 3 arranged on said guide means 1.
  • the guide means according to this preferred embodiment of the invention comprises two curved rails 4 connected to said holding means 2.
  • the material of said guide means is resilient, applying a high enough force to hold the apparatus onto the head of a person being treated, but still weak enough not to create discomfort for the wearer.
  • Said two curved rails 4 run in parallel forming a guide means for two treatment carriers 3, which, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, are in the form of square carriers each carrying an array of laser diodes 7 and with a protrusion 8 on each side with a guide channel 9, in which said guide rails run.
  • guide means with a corresponding function can be used instead of the above mentioned pair of guide rails.
  • one guide rail could be used, having an angular configuration in order to give a firm guidance for the treatment carriers.
  • Said carriers would then be provided with a guide channel having the same configuration as the single guide rail, on the side facing away from the scalp when the head gear is placed on the head.
  • the holding means are shown in the form of brackets 10 with pads 11 to bear against the side of the head.
  • These holding means can have any suitable form provided that they provide a secure grip against the head while at the same time they should not exert a pressure that is experienced as uncomfortable.
  • suitable pads 12 are preferably arranged on that side of the treatment carriers that faces the head, in order to obtain a predetermined distance between the carriers and the head.
  • Memory means are preferably integrated with said guide rails, as is illustrated in Figs. 2a and 2b.
  • These memory means can for example be provided in the form of indents 13 in the rails at each desired memory position for the carriers to cover the areas of a scalp to be treated in a non-overlapping fashion, which indents 13 cooperate with a spring element 14 on each of said protrusions 8 on the treatment carriers as is illustrated in Fig. 2a, or a spring loaded ball 15 in each guide channel 9 of the respective treatment carrier as is illustrated in Fig. 2b.
  • These memory positions should be clearly distinguishable when moving the carriers along the guide rails, but should only demand a small force to be passed by, when moving the carriers by hand, which is accomplished using said stop indents and spring elements or spring loaded elements.
  • Fig. 3 is shown three bands with 6 different quadrants each of the head to be treated with the apparatus according to the invention using the above mentioned treatment matrix
  • Fig. 4 is shown the apparatus applied on the head for treatment of the different quadrants in the treatment matrix.
  • the 1 st and 2 nd quadrants Ql and Q2 of band 1 are treated with the two treatment carriers together covering said quadrant.
  • the two carriers are moved to cover a 3 rd quadrant Q3 and a 4 th quadrant Q4 of band 1, respectively
  • the carriers are moved to cover a 5 th quadrant Q5 and a 6 th quadrant Q6 of band 1, respectively.
  • This process is repeated for band 2 and band 3, respectively, when needed.
  • the memory means of the guide means make it possible to move the carriers to exact positions on the guide means fore correct covering of the respective quadrants, and avoiding the risk of overlap between the treated areas .
  • the adjustment of the carriers on the guide means is very quick and exact thanks to memory means detachably locking the carriers on the guide means, while at the same time a very small force is needed to move the carriers past said memory positions. Repositioning of the apparatus is also a very quick process, and the treatment will thus not affect the business at the hands of the person being treated.
  • the invention provides an apparatus allowing high density precision treatment equalling the clinical treatment stations (hoods) but to a fraction of both cost and size. Unlike combs and brushes it enables a time and space-wise precise treatment of quadrants of the scalp and side lobes, while for the period of the treatment it releases hands and mind for other duties and tasks.
  • precise treatment means minimizing under or over treatment (overlap and gaps) while optimizing the treatment itself by implementing a positioning "memory" in tandem with the timing aspect.
  • the novelty of the apparatus lies in that it does implement a mechanism that makes possible a method for achieving precise treatment in contrast to hand/arm operated pad, brush and comb treatment devices.
  • the design facilitates precise treatment of virtually all situations of thinning/balding hair without offering too much or too little.
  • Patients with a receding hairline but no thinning at the crown or the opposite will have a very simple scheme to follow; that is positioning the apparatus at the same spot with the same configuration every other treatment day.
  • Persons affected by complex thinning will be positioning the apparatus at the front and back of the scalp between treatment days using a 3 tier configuration, top, middle and sidewise of the treatment carriers, as needed.
  • the apparatus will be deployed as described above.
  • the apparatus unique design is based on some important features of the anatomy of the human head and may therefore be used by a wide range of head-sizes and for virtually all ages without adaption/modification.
  • the apparatus does treat virtually any spot on the frontal, top and side-lobes of the head.
  • the most important design considerations can be summarized as follows :
