Description

Specification

Beauty facial hair grower

Technical field

[0001] The present invention improves the metabolism by controlling the wavelength light irradiated in the visible light wavelength region, and removes or prevents skin exudates or the like by activating the cells, and the head. It is related with the technique of the light beauty face hair-growth device which promotes hair growth of a part.

Background art

Conventionally, it has been necessary to remove or prevent skin spots, wrinkles, acne, pimples and the like for beauty. For example, a method of removing dirt on the skin by applying it to the face with a cosmetic agent such as cream and wiping off the force, using various facial instruments using ultrasonic waves, etc., using vibration or resonance etc. These are all widely known as facial beauty methods that promote the circulation of blood on the face and promote the activation of the skin. In addition, for a face-mounted facial device used for facial beauty, the facial beauty promoted by the heat generated by an external power source or the like, or a massage effect can be achieved using vibration and resonance in the above method There are various facial instruments.

[0003] Among them, it is known that skin wrinkles and the like can be removed and prevented by irradiating the skin of the face with light from visible light other than the infrared and ultraviolet wavelength regions. This is because the infrared and ultraviolet wavelength ranges may adversely affect the human body, and a specific wavelength in the visible light castle is selected to irradiate the affected area, excluding this wavelength range.

[0004] On the other hand, it is known that the far-infrared effect promotes blood circulation and contributes to skin activation. The action of far-infrared radiation activates cell molecules in the deep skin and promotes metabolism of the facial skin, which is effective in promoting healing of spots, wrinkles, acne, pimples, etc., which are face cosmetic problems. There is (see Patent Document 1).

[0005] Furthermore, it is known that absorbing negative ions is good for the body, and as an example of applying the negative ion generator to a cosmetic device, for example, an ion generator that moisturizes hair is incorporated. Hair dryers are in practical use. This is because dry hair is positively charged by static electricity, and this positive charge is converted to negatively charged acid. Neutralization is achieved by using an ion brush that has the function of generating negative ions in which fine moisture in the air and air are combined. As a result, the water absorption rate of the hair can be increased and the moisture content can be increased. It is said that there is an effect of permeating into the deep layer part and continuing the water veil coating the hair surface (see Patent Document 2).

Disclosure of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] Conventionally, in an optofacial device that irradiates the skin of the face with visible light except for infrared and ultraviolet wavelength regions, a fighter that transmits only light of a specific wavelength is attached to the halogen lamp. The light in the visible light range was irradiated. Specifically, the lamp is switched between a red filter that transmits only the red wavelength region, a yellow filter that transmits only the yellow wavelength region, and a green filter that transmits only the green wavelength region. It extracts light. Therefore, for example, when irradiating red light for a certain period of time, then irradiating green light for a certain period of time, and finally irradiating blue light for a certain period of time, the operator manually switches the filters one by one. Work was generated and complicated.

[0008] Further, as described above, far-infrared irradiation promotes blood circulation and activates cell molecules in the deep skin to promote metabolism of the facial skin. A force known to be effective in promoting healing of wrinkles, acne, pimples, etc. Combining this far-infrared irradiation with a photo-facial device has been difficult in terms of the structure of the device. In other words, in order to irradiate the skin such as the face with light and far-infrared rays at the same time, a far-infrared irradiation part and a light irradiation part of the visible light castle are arranged near the central axis of the irradiation hole. There was a problem that it was impossible to irradiate efficiently as it was because the axes could not be overlapped in principle.

[0009] In addition, the present inventor not only uses the above-mentioned photo-beauty device for facial beauty for promoting healing of spots, wrinkles, acne, pimples, etc., but also for promoting hair growth on the head. Research has been conducted with the aim of improving the immune function, suppressing aging, and promoting growth. It was. The challenge was to make good use of the device structure of the photo-facial device so that the generated negative ions could be irradiated with light and far-infrared rays on the skin of the face as well.

[0010] Further, in the beauty salon operated by the inventor, the time for irradiating the light from the visible light castle, the wavelength to irradiate, that is, the order of irradiation (irradiation sequence), the skin of the face of various users When I tried the above symptoms (for example, dry skin, atopic skin, skin with a lot of wrinkles), I've empirically found that the irradiation sequence is regular. Instead of manually inputting the irradiation time and the emission color to be irradiated each time, the irradiation sequence that has been empirically found is registered in advance, for example, by inputting the irradiation sequence number. The challenge is to make the facial device work.

Means for solving the problem

[0011] The inventor has made various prototypes of the light facial device, and actually confirmed the effect in a beauty salon managed by himself, and has completed the present invention. The means for solving the above problems will be described below.

Unlike conventional photofacial instruments, red, yellow, and yellow are controlled by using three types of light emitting elements (for example, LEDs) of red, blue, and green rather than using a halogen lamp. , Green, cyan, blue, magenta monochromatic light or composite light, that is, light with a wavelength of 400-700 (nm) can be irradiated, so the operator does not need to switch the filter manually. It can be.

[0013] In addition, in order to be used as a facial device, it is necessary to have a light intensity equivalent to that of a halogen lamp, and it is necessary to arrange a plurality of LEDs as a visible light source. For this reason, there is a constricted section composed of a plurality of lenses in front of the visible light source section so that the light emitted from the plurality of LED lamps is not uneven, and the entire face is irradiated. Irradiate part of the face Be prepared to handle the case.

[0014] Next, from a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention described above, "a far-infrared irradiation unit is provided, and an irradiation axis of the far-infrared irradiation unit and irradiation from the visible light source unit" `` The far-infrared irradiation part and the visible light source part are arranged so that the optical axis of the visible light is non-coaxial, and the visible light irradiation range and the far-infrared irradiation range are overlapped by the lens of the narrowing part. '' A special facial hair grower is provided.

In order to provide a far-infrared irradiation function that has an effect of promoting the metabolism of the facial skin, the optical axis of the visible light is shifted from the central axis of the irradiation hole, while the irradiation axis of the far-infrared irradiation is centered on the irradiation hole. The optical axis of the visible light beam is bent by the lens of the squeezing part arranged in front of the visible light source part so that it overlaps the axis, so that the visible light irradiation part and the far infrared irradiation part irradiated on the face overlap. I have to.

[0015] Next, according to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect or the second aspect of the present invention described above, "a fan for air-cooling the current circuit unit and a negative ion generation unit is provided." Thus, a facial hair restorer is provided which releases the negative ions generated by the negative ion generating part force by the air flow by the fan toward the irradiation range of visible light.

Examine the device structure of the facial hair grower, place a fan that air-cools the current circuit section at the position opposite to the position where the irradiation hole was provided in the main body of the device, and place the negative ion generator near the irradiation hole. It is provided so that negative ions are released toward the range of visible light irradiation and far infrared irradiation by the air flow generated by the fan.

[0016] Further, according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention described above, "the operation input unit includes a display panel unit, a CPU unit, a memory unit, and an operation button unit, If the appropriate symptom menu is selected from a plurality of symptom menus, the selected symptom menu is stored. A facial hair grower is provided in which the memory unit reads the irradiation sequence corresponding to the menu, and the CPU unit outputs an appropriate signal to the current circuit unit according to the irradiation sequence.

Record the irradiation sequence that you know empirically, instead of manually setting and inputting the irradiation time and emission color every time, and record it in the memory unit. By inputting and operating the irradiation sequence number! /, The symptom (state) of the skin, etc., the corresponding irradiation sequence force is read from the S memory section to the CPU section, and the CPU section reads the current circuit according to the irradiation sequence. By outputting a signal to the unit, the visible light source unit emits light in the visible wavelength according to the irradiation sequence, irradiation time, irradiation light quantity, and irradiation order.

[0017] Further, from a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention described above, among the plurality of lenses constituting the squeezed portion, the lens on the irradiation hole side has a similar color to cyan. Using this coating lens, a facial hair grower characterized in that the attenuation factor of the color intensity of the light source light is reduced as a whole ”is provided.

By making the lens at the exit of the squeezed part a coating lens of the same color as cyan, the overall attenuation of the light color can be improved by about 3%.

The invention's effect

[0018] The facial hair restorer according to the present invention can irradiate light having an arbitrary wavelength of visible light (400 to 700 nm) excluding infrared and ultraviolet wavelength ranges, and is used in actual beauty salon sites. Combining the irradiation sequence born from existing knowledge and future knowledge with lotion and cosmetic liquids can be expected to be effective for facial beauty and head hair growth.

[0019] In addition, the facial hair grower according to the present invention is configured to bend the visible light irradiation point and the far infrared irradiation point by bending the optical axis of the visible light emitted from the visible light source unit with the lens of the narrowing part. It is possible to add a far-infrared irradiation function that has the effect of promoting the metabolism of the facial skin.

[0020] Further, when the facial hair grower according to the present invention includes a negative ion generator, negative air ions are directed toward the visible light irradiation site by utilizing an air cooling fan of the current circuit unit. Can be released. Since the generated negative ions can be irradiated to the skin such as the face and the head in the same manner with visible light and far infrared rays, the effects of metabolism and cell activity can be further expected by synergistic effects with the negative ions.

[0021] Further, the facial hair grower according to the present invention can register in advance the irradiation sequence of visible light or far infrared ray, which has been found by experience, and can be used by a user (such as an individual user or a salon employee). User can provide a simple and easy-to-use interface The
