Description
技术领域
本方法和装置涉及个人美容过程,尤其涉及毛发去除过程。
背景技术
外部容貌实际上对每个人都重要。近几年,发展出了用于不同的美容处理的方法和装置。其中有毛发去除、血管病变处理、皮肤嫩肤的处理等等。在这些处理中的一些中,通过通常称为光辐射的可见或红外(IR)辐射来照射皮肤表面,以将下部组织体加热至足够高的温度,通常在38-80摄氏度范围内,以达到希望的效果。该效果可以为削弱毛囊或破坏发根。另一个希望的效果可以为毛发再生长阻滞,典型地,通过由通常称为光辐射的激光、LED、氙灯、强脉冲光(IPL)或白炽灯辐射来照射先前脱毛过的皮肤表面来达到该效果。该光辐射可以具有单个波长,如激光,或多个波长,例如白炽灯。选择波长,以使其对所处理的皮肤部分的相对成分的颜色为最理想,并且典型地在400至1800nm范围内。
同时,发展出了用于处理更深层皮肤或组织层的多种基于射频(RF)的方法。在这些方法中,将电极施加至皮肤,并在电极上施加脉冲或连续波(CW)形式的RF电压。选择该RF电压的特性以在要处理的组织体中产生RF感应电流。该电流将组织加热至要求的温度,典型地在38-80摄氏度范围内。
上文说明的设备不仅贵重而且庞大。典型地,该设备是在设立的门诊中由有资格的手术员来操作并经常要求这种处理领域的专门的医学人员在场。市场上有对于可以由使用者操作,并使他/她实现进行皮肤处理且得到与那些用于皮肤处理的专业设备所提供的结果类似或相同的结果的小尺寸、低成本和使用安全的装置的需要。
发明内容
本公开中使用的术语“照射源”和“光源”具有同样的含义并且包含可见的和不可见的红外辐射源。

具体实施方式
下面参照附图和所附的非限制性和示例性的实施例来理解本文所述的装置和方法的原理和实施。
参考图1,其为用于个人毛发去除的装置的示例性实施例的示意图。装置100包括适于在对象皮肤上滑动移动的器具104、充电装置108和连接在器具104和充电装置108之间的导线112。导线112在器具104和充电装置108之间实现电联接。装置100可以从常规的供电电网插座,或从可再充电的或常规的电池中接收电源供给。LED118指示器具104的操作状态。
图2是图1的装置中的器具的第一示例性实施例的示意图。器具104(图2)包含人体工程学设计的外壳204,该外壳204能很好地与手配合,具有第一端部208和第二端部212;一个或更多照射源216;至少一个毛发去除机构220;以及至少一个皮肤接触传感机构,该皮肤接触传感机构示出为用于激活照射源216和毛发去除机构220的微型开关228。该微型开关228位于第一端部208,并且通过将器具104施加至皮肤(未示出)而产生的轻微的压力来激活。当被压下时,微型开关228启动器具104的一个或更多照射源216以及其它电气和电子电路。在一个实施例中,照射源216和其它电气和电子电路可以各自独立地操作并具有其自己的ON和OFF开关机构,例如RF电流传感机构。
该照射源216可以为例如白炽灯、氙灯、激光二极管、LED、激光器或它们的结合。照射源216可以在脉冲或连续操作模式下操作。选择其功率和操作时间以避免对已处理的皮肤部分的潜在损害。照射源216中的每一个被包装在盒状包装224中,该包装224可以从器具104的人体工程学设计的、与手很好地匹配的外壳204上拆卸下来。该照射源的盒状包装允许同一个器具使用不同的照射源。每个盒,如照射源216的包装224,可以安装在弹簧或柔性底座上,该弹簧或柔性底座使具有光源216的盒状包装224实现关于器具外壳204的移动自由度,如图2B中箭头240所示。这允许当器具104在待处理的皮肤部分之上平移(移动)时,具有照射源216的盒224跟随皮肤/外皮轮廓244。运动方向传感器232感测器具的移动方向并提供正确开关光源216的信号。
可能为风扇(未示出)的冷却装置可以位于器具104的第二端部212上的部分236上。该风扇去除由器具104的电气和电子电路以及灯或LED的操作产生的热量,并实现器具的正常操作条件。
图2C是器具104的示例性实施例的第一端部208的俯视示意图。其示出了光源216的盒状包装224、毛发去除机构220和微型开关228。
在图3A中例示的一个示例性实施例中,毛发去除机构220可以包括至少一套镊子308,该镊子308接合至围绕轴线312旋转的保持器316。与镊子308相邻并连至同一轴的是杆320,该杆320端结于刀片324。可选地,杆320可以刚性联结至镊子308以确保连续跟随在镊子308之后。镊子308相对于皮肤330的位置和杆320的刀片324相对于皮肤330的位置之间有预设位置差。典型地,刀片324会位于比镊子308更接近皮肤330的位置。刀片324和镊子308的位置差可以根据皮肤、毛发的类型以及对象外皮的特定处理部分来调节。
为了去除毛发304,将镊子308施加至皮肤330。保持器316在由箭头328指示的方向上旋转并且在旋转同时可以在皮肤表面330在由箭头332指示的方向上线性移动。在镊子308继续旋转时,其提取至少一根毛干304(图3B)并且开始将其向皮肤330外拉。施加至毛干304的,由镊子308的旋转产生并由夹持器316的线性移动辅助的拉力将毛干304、包围毛干和毛囊的皮肤330一起拉起。此力使皮肤330变形并形成一种从包围毛囊的皮肤表面的剩余部分上凸出的鸡皮状凸起或鸡皮状疙瘩340。刀片324尽可能接近鸡皮状凸起340的顶点地切割毛发304(图3C)。该拉力被设置成拉紧毛发但并不将其拉出皮肤。
图4是切断并缩回的毛囊或毛干的放大的示意图。在切割毛干304后,形成凸起340的皮肤330缩回。毛干304的残余在毛囊306的方向缩回至初始位置。该毛干304缩回得比皮肤表面或角质层144更深并且如标号404(图4)所指示,该标号404标记充分留在皮肤表面之下的毛发和皮肤表面的位置差。标号408指示组织。
保持器316(图3C和3D)继续在箭头328指示的方向上旋转并在皮肤表面330上在箭头332指示的方向上线性移动或以任何其它运动类型移动。镊子308捕捉另一根毛干304并以与上文解释类似的方式形成凸起340。接着,以与切割前面的毛干方法类似的方法切割毛发304。镊子308和刀片324可以以相同方向定向或者交错而以不同方向定向。当镊子308和刀片324中的一些以不同方向定向时,使用者可以沿先前处理过的皮肤部分移动回来并仍然有效。当镊子308和刀片324以相同方向时,使用者在处理行程结束时可以旋转器具并在相反方向移动该器具或简单地重新将其定位以处理下一个皮肤部分。
可选地,该毛发去除机构220可以为公知的任何一种机械式毛发去除机构,例如剃刀、剃须刀或电动剃须刀,例如可以从德国Braun GmbHt买到的型号3470 Softperfec女用电动剃须刀。此型号也包含其它拉拔式和镊式机构的可拆卸头。类似的或甚至相同的机构当然也可应用于男用毛发去除/剃须刀。照射头或多个照射头可以与传统的脱毛器接合并一起操作,该脱毛器仅具有一个剃须刀头或脱毛器头或甚至剃刀头。该毛发去除机构可以为可更换的机构,其中器具上安装最适合任务的机构。
照射源216(图2)可以与毛发去除机构220同步操作。然而,也可是照射源216照射已经被毛发去除机构220去除毛发的不同的皮肤部分。照射破坏或削弱毛囊和偶尔留下的发根,并且应该跟随机械的毛发脱毛器。为了将照射源216的操作与毛发去除机构220同步,器具104配备有在光源216之间切换的运动方向传感器,或甚至仅为方向传感器(未示出)。该方向传感器可以为不同的类型,例如,具有多个开口以调制光源的旋转轮,任何类型的机械开关、光学鼠标类型方向传感器,等等。由方向传感器来激活照射源减轻了偶尔的皮肤烧伤或其它处理副作用,因为照射源仅在器具在皮肤之上以最小速度移动时是可操作的。此外,可能的是,确保基于器具的前进方向来激活合适的照射源以照射处理过的皮肤。典型地,照射源216以连续或脉冲操作模式操作。
图5是毛发去除机构的第二示例性实施例的示意图。梳状类型的保护板500保护皮肤330并且尤其保护凸起340以免偶尔被旋转的刀片324(图3)损害。可以用固定刀片代替刀片324,该固定刀片会切割由镊子308拉起的毛发306。在这个实施例中,保持器316可以在旋转之外具有线性运动。可选地,可以实施两个相互线性滑动地梳状刀片来切割毛发。
图6是器具的照射盒的示例性实施例的示意图。盒224的塑料外壳602中并入了照射源,例如白炽灯、氙闪光灯、激光二极管、LED、激光器或它们的组合。图6例示了具有氙灯606和反射器610的盒224,该反射器610配置为收集由该灯发射的大部分辐射并将其导向被处理的皮肤部分。
盒224的塑料外壳602包含两个导向部618,该两个导向部618支持盒224容易地插入以及沿箭头622指示的方向的盒移动。该公开的盒结构允许容易地跟随被处理的皮肤部分轮廓244,如图2B所示,并维持对所处理的皮肤部分的均匀的照射。在一个实施例中,利用盒224的移动来代替微型开关228。这可以通过以与微型开关228的模式类似的模式让压进的盒224激活器具104的电气和电子电路来实现。可选地,可以将导向部618金属化,从而它们的降下会将电路闭合。还可能使导向部的一部分透明而另一部分不透明。这种导向部的线性移动能够调制光束并激活或停用器具104的电气和电子电路。如下文将会解释,能够使用由其他传感和切换机构来代替微型开关的另外的方法。
反射器610示出为由两个类似的半部分构造成,以能用自由的气流来冷却灯606。可选地,可以使用与相应的进风开口608形成为整体的反射器。反射器开口608与相应的通气口或进风开口612配合实现了灯606或LED(未示出)的对流冷却。
图7是器具的另一个示例性光源结构的示意图。图7例示了与盒224类似的具有多个LED706的盒702。每个LED706可以发射单个波长或多个波长。LED706配置为通过具有相对均匀的通量分布的通量来照射被处理的皮肤部分。图7B例示了具有两个光源714,例如氙灯或其他类型灯的盒710。光源714可以为同样的光源或不同的光源。它们的辐射范围可以交叠并且可以将它们配置成能得到所希望的光谱和在被处理的皮肤部分上的照射分布。可以同步地、以不同或部分交叠的周期地以及以不同操作模式,例如脉冲或连续模式操作光源714。
所说明的器具构造支持毛发去除机构和照射源的不同的组合。相应地,可更换的毛发去除机构和照射源的特定结合可以决定该器具的操作模式。可以例如,从基于旋转的镊式脱毛器、弹簧类型脱毛器、剃刀或电动剃须刀中选择该机械式毛发去除机构。可以例如从连续或脉冲操作的源、提供所希望的光谱和在被处理的皮肤部分上的照射分布的源中选择照射源。可以有同步或者以部分交叠的周期来操作的源的混合。这个选择实际上提供了可以适于不同皮肤处理的无限多种结合。在图8A中示出的另外的实施例中,器具802包含一个或更多RF电极806,该RF电极806配置为接触被处理的皮肤部分并向位于电极806之间的皮肤部分814(图8B)提供RF能量,该RF能量由位于器具外壳810(图8A)中的RF发生器产生。典型地,器具802的电气和电子电路包括实现向一个或更多照射源和RF源供电的电路。当RF电极806接触对象皮肤时(图8B),该RF电极806为器具的电气和电子电路的电流提供路径。阻抗传感机构感测从无限大值至可测量的有限值的阻抗变化,并且激活足够产生所希望的皮肤或组织的处理效果的磁场的RF能量供给。RF感应电流流过组织818,如电极806之间的线822所示,加热由标号826示意性指示的组织体。由此,使用该器具比机械开关更安全,因为如果没有RF电极806和皮肤的接触,则很少或不会发射RF。对阻抗变化的电响应比机械开关快,并且如果一个电极失去与皮肤的接触,则RF发射立即被切断。(通常,可以继续发射非常低水平的RF功率以使得当再次建立与皮肤的接触时能够激活照射源和RF能量)。可选地,器具802可以具有ON-OFF开关以完全切断器具802。图8C是器具的另一个第三示例性实施例的示意图。在此实施例中,RF电极806位于盒224的外侧,并且图8D例示了器具的另外的实施例,其中RF电极806位于盒224的两侧。图8E仍然例示了器具802的进一步实施例,其中仅使用了一个盒224,在盒224的两侧具有RF电极806。
所有先前说明的器具104(图2)的部件,例如毛发去除机构、照射件和它们的功能件都可在调整后应用至器具802。
图9是使用本器具的第一示例性实施例进行毛发去除处理的示意图。器具104的第一端部228施加至皮肤244。这在微型开关228上施加了轻微的压力并且因此启动毛发去除机构220和合适的照射源。(通常,毛发去除机构和照射源可以由独立于微型开关机构的其他机构启动。)器具的使用者将器具104以扫描运动在由箭头902(图9A)指示的第一方向从皮肤244的一个部分244移动至另一个皮肤部分。在移动中,毛发去除机构220将毛发从皮肤244的被处理部分去除。运动方向传感器感测移动方向并激活位于盒224-1中的尾部照射源以照射去除了毛发的皮肤部分。由尾部照射源224-1产生的连续的照射通量将前面已被机械地去除毛发的皮肤部分加热,削弱并也许破坏毛囊和毛囊球部。典型的照射通量的有效值为在0.5J/cm2至20J/cm2范围内的值。除了破坏毛囊和毛囊球部,照射通量还加速皮肤痊愈效果。
当器具104在由箭头906(图9B)指示的第二方向上移动时,毛发去除机构220以类似的方式运行并从机械处理过的皮肤部分去除毛发。运动方向传感器感测移动方向的变化并切断位于盒224-1中的现在已变为头部照射源的照射源,而转换到位于盒224-2中的尾部照射源,以照射已去除了毛发的皮肤部分。位于盒224-1和盒224-2中的照射源可以与毛发去除机构220同时工作。然而,位于盒224-1和盒224-2中的照射源在与毛发去除机构220所操作的皮肤部分不同的皮肤部分244上操作。照射源可以以连续模式操作并且其功率被设定为能导致所希望的皮肤效果并阻止皮肤烧伤。可以使用可选的温度传感器以连续测量皮肤温度并相应地停用RF和光源。
如所提到,由位于盒224-1中的尾部照射源产生的照射通量产生上文所说的钝化毛干生长的效果以及皮肤痊愈的效果。可以进一步通过正确地选择照射波长和强度来增强该效果。
典型地,该尾部和头部照射源可以被操作以产生最合适于得到所希望效果的不同的通量值。当照射源为基于LED的源,例如如图7A中所示时,该尾部和头部照射源可以操作以发射更适合得到所希望效果的不同的波长。通常,如所解释,该照射源盒可以构造成包含多于一个灯,以使这些灯在不同的功率下操作或获得不同的光谱,从而最适合得到所希望的处理效果。
图10是使用本器具的另一个示例性实施例进行毛发去除处理的示意图。将器具1000施加至皮肤1002以使得其在RF电极806和皮肤1002之间形成接触。阻抗传感机构感测从无限大至某值的阻抗变化并激活器具1000的电气和电子电路。由此,该阻抗传感机构可以代替先前说明的微型开关机构,但是也可以将两个机构结合以提供安全的处理。机械式毛发去除机构物理地去除毛发。由线1022所示的RF感应电流加热组织1006特别是组织体1026,削弱并甚至破坏残余的毛囊和毛囊球部。器具的使用者将器具1000以扫描运动从皮肤1002的一个部分移动至另一个皮肤部分并加热相应的组织体1026。在移动过程中,毛发去除机构220将毛发从皮肤1002的位于被加热的组织体上的部分去除。运动方向传感器232(图2A)感测移动方向并激活尾部照射源224以照射去除了毛发的皮肤部分。由尾部照射源224产生的照射通量削弱毛囊和毛干,并且在某种程度上,加热皮肤并破坏未被机械装置去除的剩余的毛囊和毛囊球部。除了破坏毛囊和毛囊球部之外,照射通量还加速皮肤痊愈效果。所有上文公开的照射通量和波长变化以及照射源开关都可在调整后应用至使用RF以加热更深的组织层的本实施例。
可以通过正确地准备待处理的皮肤部分来改善皮肤处理效果。处理后的皮疹可以通过应用乳霜和乳液来减少。图11是本器具的第四示例性实施例的示意图。器具1100,除了先前说明的毛发去除机构220,照射源224、RF电极806、以及微型开关228之外还包含皮肤和毛发预处理装置1104和皮肤和毛发后处理装置1108。该皮肤和毛发预处理装置1104可以操作以通过喷雾或类似的溶液来清洁所要处理的皮肤部分。该皮肤和毛发后处理装置1108可以运行以在已处理的皮肤部分之上分布乳霜或溶液以减少该处理可能偶尔对皮肤导致的刺激。可以使用可选的长度可变的间隔件1112来在毛发去除机构的位置和皮肤之间维持希望的间隙。
典型地,任何所描述的器具都是电驱动的,也就是由旋转毛发去除机构并操作器具的其他单元的驱动器来驱动。可选地,该器具可以配置为在对象皮肤上的滑动移动会向毛发去除机构提供旋转移动。
该方法的应用使得可得到几乎无毛发的皮肤区域,由于机械的毛发去除、以及由(与机械式毛发去除同时、或在其之后或在其之前的)RF施加和皮肤照射实现的阻滞或完全消除毛发再生长。通过选择正确的皮肤照射波长来加速皮肤痊愈过程。
图12是已由本方法所处理的对象皮肤部分的摄影图像以及对象皮肤的未经处理部分(控制)的摄影图像。已处理的部分1206完全不包含残留的毛发。示出的未处理部分1202用于比较目的。
本发明说明了多个实施例。然而应当理解在不偏离本方法的精神和范围的情况下可以进行多种修改。相应地,其他实施例落入所附的权利要求的范围中。
