Description

Needle tip and patch that induces skin twisting {NEEDLE TIP AND PATCH THAT INDUCE SKING TWISTING}

The present invention relates to needle tips and patches that induce twisting of the skin.

The skin consists of the epidermis layer, dermis layer, and subcutaneous fat layer. The epidermal layer prevents the invasion of bacteria and other substances and prevents moisture from escaping from the body. The dermis layer is located below the epidermis layer, contains collagen, elastic fibers, and matrix, and plays a role in the elasticity, gloss, and tension of the skin. Additionally, the subcutaneous fat layer is located below the dermal layer and functions to absorb pressure or shock coming from the outside and maintain body temperature.

As skin ages, its elasticity gradually decreases and wrinkles form. This is largely because the amount of collagen, elastic fibers, and matrix in the dermal layer decreases, and the amount of moisture also decreases.

To solve this problem, multiple needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate the tissues that make up the skin, and at the same time, heat energy such as radio frequency (RF) is output to the skin to induce coagulation necrosis of the skin, thereby improving collagen and elasticity of the skin. A needle tip that regenerates and revitalizes fibers has been developed.

However, the conventional needle tip had a problem in that it did not stimulate the connection signals between cells in the skin because it only applied high frequencies to the skin.

You can. That is, among the plurality of needles 12, those disposed at the center of the holder 11 protrude more from the holder 11 than those disposed on the edge of the holder 11 among the plurality of needles 12.

Meanwhile, the tip portion 10 may be moved in a direction closer to the skin by a user's manipulation or an actuator.

The high frequency applying unit 20 may serve to apply high frequency to the plurality of needles 12. For example, the high frequency applicator 20 may apply high frequency to the plurality of needles 12 while the plurality of needles 12 are inserted into the skin. As a result, the high frequency applied from the high frequency applicator 20 can be transmitted to the skin through the plurality of needles 12 inserted into the skin.

A microcomputer or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) may be used as the processor (not shown), and may serve to control the high frequency application unit 20 and the rotating unit 30. For example, the processor may include a proximity sensor provided in the holder 11. The proximity sensor measures the distance between the plurality of needles 12 and the skin, and can sense whether the plurality of needles 12 are inserted into the skin and the depth at which the plurality of needles 12 are inserted into the skin. Furthermore, the processor can check whether the plurality of needles 12 are inserted into the skin and the depth at which the plurality of needles 12 are inserted into the skin according to the sensing of the proximity sensor. In addition, when the processor confirms that the plurality of needles 12 have been inserted into the skin according to the sensing of the proximity sensor, it can operate the high frequency applying unit 20 and the rotating unit 30.
