Description

 CAP AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUS FOR FALLING OUT OF HAIR}

The present invention relates to a hair loss management device coupled with a hat for activating hair follicle cells and increasing blood flow in the scalp tissue to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

Hair or hair grows and grows through three stages of hair growth: the growth phase, the degeneration phase, and the resting phase. Adults have about 100,000 hairs, and it is normal that about 80 hairs fall out per day When alopecia (脫毛 症) is called.

Alopecia refers to a disease in which hair that normally grows is lost due to some cause, and the male hormone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the catalysis of the 5α reducing element, and then combined with the androgen receptor and the hair papilla. It is known to reduce hair follicle function and damage blood vessels, causing hair loss. Causes of hair loss include genetic factors, imbalances in hormone secretion (excessive androgen secretion), mental stress, environmental pollution, blood circulation disorders of the scalp, malnutrition, diseases (eg thyroid disease), autoimmune disorders, anticancer agents, There are many ways to take anti-thyroid drugs, oral contraceptives, and wash your hair.

Treatment of alopecia, for example, in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (a condition in which hair loss begins on the frontal and frontal heads of the head, gradually enlarges, thin and weak hairs first appear, and eventually disappears). There are surgical methods and drug treatments in which hair follicles are removed from the back and side hair and transplanted into the hair loss area.

Currently commercially available hair regrowth or wool is developed to improve the blood circulation of the skin and to nourish the hair root, but these are not all drugs, and those that have not been proven to be effective as quasi-drugs such as cosmetics. In addition, there are only two officially recognized drug treatments such as Minoxidil and Propecia, such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and there is still no treatment that satisfies alopecia patients.

On the other hand, research on the treatment of alopecia with laser has been in progress for a long time, and the biostimulation effect by low power laser irradiation has attracted much attention after pioneering research by Professor Mester of Budapest University in Hungary in the early 1970s. Even a lot of research has been conducted on the medical use of low power lasers.

These studies have shown that low-power lasers are effective in wound healing and pain relief, and papers have been published that low-power lasers increase blood flow in irradiated areas.

The literature applying the bio-effects of such low power lasers to hair growth is the Dankook University Medical Laser Research Center, 'Research Report on the Hair Growth Promoting Effect of 890nm Low Power Lasers and 680nm LEDs', 2003. 11. 18. Published Korean Patent Publication No. 2002-86548 'Laser Comb with Improved Design and Function' and WO 02 / 102,228 Published International Patent Publication No. WO 02 / 102,228 'Zigzag beam splitter for apparatus and method for stimulating hair growth' See.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-86548 discloses a technique of generating a visible red light beam of 632 to 670 nm with a laser diode installed in two teeth rows.

In addition, Korea Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0422798 'Scalp Massage Ultrasonic Vibration Mechanism', which transmits vibration force to the scalp, was introduced.

The Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-0422798 discloses a technique for stimulating the scalp while ultrasonically vibrating the skin contact unit by converting electrical energy into vibration energy.

However, the conventional scalp massager or hair loss manager as described above has a problem in that it is impossible to carry since it is installed as a device in a hair loss specialist such as a hair loss clinic and a dermatologist.

In addition, there is a small product that can be carried in the form of a comb, but in this case has been miniaturized for ease of carrying, there is a problem that can not simultaneously implement laser generation and vibration generation.

In addition, even if it is portable, there is a problem in that the user has to spend time for using the device by holding the device with one hand like a comb, and one hand is not free.

 The present invention is a hair loss management device for stimulating the transmission of the laser light and vibration to the scalp, wearing parts worn on the head; A main body unit generating laser light and vibration, and transmitting the generated vibration along with acupressure to the scalp; A mounting part for detaching the main body from the inside of the wearing part and adjusting a position; And a control unit for controlling the laser light and the vibration force of the main body unit, wherein the wearing unit is a hat.

The present invention by stimulating the delivery of laser light and vibration to the scalp, by activating the hair follicle cells and increasing the blood flow of the scalp tissue can prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

In addition, the present invention can improve the usability by wearing on the head and allowing everyday life in a state where both hands are free.
