Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ultrasound therapy technology, and in particular to ultrasound therapy auxiliary films and their usage methods. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasonic therapy devices utilize focused ultrasound waves for skin care and treatment. The basic principle is to use the mechanical vibration and thermal effects of ultrasound waves to deeply stimulate and treat the skin. Ultrasonic therapy devices can use ultrasound energy to create coagulation points in the fascia layer, superficial fascia layer, superficial fat layer, and dermis layer of human tissue, achieving effects such as fascia repositioning and stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration. However, because the depth of human tissue is not uniform across different parts of the body, and the treatment depth of each treatment head in existing ultrasonic therapy devices is fixed, it is impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue. Furthermore, frequently changing treatment heads with different depths or frequently adjusting the treatment depth through the drive mechanism within the treatment head will significantly reduce treatment efficiency.
[0003] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of the present invention and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide an ultrasound therapy auxiliary film and its usage method, aiming to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the treatment depth of the ultrasound therapy head is fixed, while the depth of human tissue varies, making it impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes an ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, wherein the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is a film with uneven thickness, and the thickness of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue.
[0006] In one embodiment, when the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film is in close contact with the target skin tissue, the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film and the target layer of the target skin tissue is within a preset range.
[0007] In one embodiment, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is provided with a plurality of pores penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, and the pores are filled with a coupling agent during ultrasound therapy.
[0008] In one embodiment, the ultrasound therapy-aided film is an ultrasound phantom material.
[0009] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a method for using the ultrasound therapy-assisted film described above, the method comprising:
[0010] The inner surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is tightly bonded to the outer surface of the target skin tissue so that the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film and the target layer of the target skin tissue is within a preset range.
[0011] In one embodiment, prior to the step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, the method further includes:
[0012] Determine the first depth information of the skin tissue in the user's skin area to be treated;
[0013] Skin tissue markers are generated based on the first depth information;
[0014] The step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue includes:
[0015] The inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film is tightly bonded to the outer surface of the target skin tissue based on the skin tissue markers.
[0016] In one embodiment, prior to the step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, the method further includes:
[0017] Determine the second depth information corresponding to the target layer of the target skin tissue;
[0018] An ultrasound therapy-assisted film is generated based on the second depth information.
[0019] In one embodiment, the step of generating an ultrasound therapy-assisted film based on the second depth information includes:
[0020] A skin tissue depth model is constructed based on the second depth information;
[0021] Based on the skin tissue depth model, an ultrasound therapy-assisted film is generated using 3D printing technology.
[0022] In one embodiment, after the step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, so that the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film and the target layer of the target skin tissue is within a preset range, the method further includes:
[0023] The ultrasound probe of the ultrasound therapy device emits ultrasound energy to the target skin tissue through the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, and the ultrasound energy is focused on the target layer of the target skin tissue.
[0024] In one embodiment, after the step of controlling the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound therapy device to emit ultrasound energy to the target skin tissue through the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, the method further includes:
[0025] The ultrasound probe is controlled to slide on the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film, wherein the sliding path of the ultrasound probe crosses at least different depth regions of the target skin tissue.

[0027] This application provides an ultrasound therapy auxiliary film and its usage method. The ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is a film with uneven thickness, and its thickness is complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue.

Therefore, the ultrasound therapy device can precisely treat specific layers of human tissue based on the compensated skin depth, thereby solving the technical problem in the existing technology where the treatment depth of the ultrasound therapy device treatment head is fixed, while the depth of human tissue varies, making it impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue.

Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0031] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the method of using the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film of this application (Example 1);
[0032] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the process for generating the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film in the method of using the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film of this application.
[0033] The purpose, features, and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0034] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0035] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0036] Because the treatment depth of each treatment head in existing ultrasonic therapy devices is fixed, it is impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue.
[0037] This application provides a solution in which the thickness of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is uneven and complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue, which allows for compensation of the depth of the user's skin tissue. As a result, the ultrasound therapy device can perform precise treatment on specific layers of human tissue based on the compensated skin depth, thereby solving the technical problem in the prior art where the treatment depth of the ultrasound therapy device treatment head is fixed, while the depth of human tissue varies, making it impossible to perform precise treatment on specific layers of human tissue.
[0038] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide an ultrasound therapy-assisted film, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film provided in Example 1 of this application.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 is a film with uneven thickness, and the thickness of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 is complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue 2.
[0040] It should be noted that the target skin tissue 2 refers to the skin tissue of various parts of the human body. In practical applications, since the skin depth of different parts of the human body is usually different, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 proposed in this solution is a film with uneven thickness, and the thickness of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 is complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue 2. Therefore, when the ultrasound therapy device treats human tissue, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 can compensate and correct the treatment depth of the ultrasound therapy device, thereby achieving precise treatment of the target layer 3 of the human tissue.
[0041] In this embodiment, when the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 is in close contact with the target skin tissue 2, the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 and the target layer 3 of the target skin tissue 2 is within a preset range.
[0042] It should be understood that the target layer 3 can be a specific layer of human tissue. In this embodiment, the target layer 3 may include, but is not limited to, the fascia layer, the superficial fascia layer, the superficial fat layer, and the dermis layer.
[0043] In a specific implementation, when using an ultrasound therapy device to perform ultrasound therapy on the target layer 3 in human skin tissue, in order to achieve precise treatment of the target layer 3, the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 can be tightly attached to the target skin tissue 2 to achieve depth compensation of the target skin tissue 2. At this time, the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 and the target layer 3 of the target skin tissue 2 is equal and within a preset range. The preset range can be determined based on the depth of the target layer 3 in the target skin tissue 2, and this embodiment does not limit this. For example, the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 and the dermis of the target skin tissue 2 can be used as the preset depth range.
[0044] In this embodiment, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 is provided with a plurality of pores 4 penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1, and the pores 4 are filled with coupling agent during ultrasound therapy.
[0045] It should be noted that, in order to avoid air bubbles forming when the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 adheres to the target skin tissue 2, this embodiment can provide a plurality of pores 4 penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1. During subsequent treatment, the pores 2 can be filled with a coupling agent.
[0046] In this embodiment, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 is an ultrasound phantom material. For example, it can be an agar gel-based composite, a non-agar aqueous gel-based composite material, polyurethane rubber, or a composite material thereof, whose sound velocity is similar to that of human tissue.
[0047] It should be noted that the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 proposed in this solution can be printed using 3D printing technology. The printing material of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film 1 can be an ultrasound phantom material, thereby ensuring that the attenuation of ultrasound waves in the film is minimized and the refraction in the film is minimized, so as not to affect the focal length and focus of the ultrasound waves.
[0048] This embodiment provides an ultrasound therapy auxiliary film. The method discloses that the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is a film with uneven thickness, and the thickness of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue. Compared with the existing technology where the treatment depth of each treatment head of the ultrasound therapy instrument is fixed, thus making it impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue, because the thickness of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film in this embodiment is uneven and complementary to the thickness of the target skin tissue, it is possible to compensate for the depth of the user's skin tissue. Therefore, the ultrasound therapy instrument can precisely treat specific layers of human tissue based on the compensated skin depth, thereby solving the technical problem in the existing technology where the treatment depth of the ultrasound therapy instrument treatment head is fixed, while the depth of human tissue is uneven, making it impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue.
[0049] Based on the above embodiments of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, a first embodiment of the method of using the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film of the present invention is proposed.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the method of using the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film of this application.
[0051] In this embodiment, the method of using the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film includes step S10:
[0052] Step S10: The inner surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film is tightly attached to the outer surface of the target skin tissue so that the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film and the target layer of the target skin tissue is within a preset range.
[0053] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device capable of performing the above functions, such as an ultrasound therapy auxiliary film control device. The following description uses an ultrasound therapy auxiliary film control device (hereinafter referred to as the device) as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.
[0054] It should be noted that the target layer described in this embodiment includes: the fascia layer, the superficial fascia layer, the superficial fat layer, and the dermis layer.
[0055] In this embodiment, before the step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, the method further includes:
[0056] Step S01: Determine the first depth information of the skin tissue in the area of skin to be treated for the user.
[0057] It should be understood that the aforementioned skin area to be treated can be any area of human skin that requires ultrasound treatment; the aforementioned first depth information can be the depth information of each skin tissue in the skin area to be treated.
[0058] Step S02: Generate skin tissue markers based on the first depth information.
[0059] It is understandable that the aforementioned skin tissue markers are used to mark the depth information of the skin tissue.
[0060] Accordingly, the step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue includes:
[0061] Step S10': Based on the skin tissue markers, the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film is tightly bonded to the outer surface of the target skin tissue.
[0062] It should be understood that the skin tissue markers in this embodiment can ensure the accuracy of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film when it is attached to the skin tissue. When attaching the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, the skin tissue and the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film can be precisely aligned according to the depth information recorded by the markers in the skin tissue, thereby avoiding the displacement that may occur when attaching the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film and the skin tissue, which may affect the accuracy of the ultrasound therapy.
[0063] In this embodiment, before the step of tightly adhering the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, the method further includes:
[0064] Step S001: Determine the second depth information corresponding to the target layer of the target skin tissue.
[0065] It should be noted that the aforementioned second depth information can be information used to characterize the depth of the outer surface of the target skin tissue from the target layer. In this embodiment, the depth of the outer surface of the target skin tissue from the target layer can be determined by performing an ultrasound scan on the target skin tissue, thereby obtaining the aforementioned second depth information.
[0066] Step S002: Generate an ultrasound therapy-assisted film based on the second depth information.
[0067] Specifically, step S002 includes: constructing a skin tissue depth model based on the second depth information; and generating an ultrasound therapy-assisted film based on the skin tissue depth model using 3D printing technology.
[0068] It should be noted that the above-mentioned skin tissue depth model can be used to characterize the depth of skin tissue from each target layer (including the fascia layer, superficial fascia layer, superficial fat layer, dermis layer, etc.).
[0069] In the specific implementation, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of generating the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film in the method of using the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film of this application. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the human skin can first be scanned with ultrasound to obtain the depth information of each skin tissue in the area to be treated. Based on this depth information, a model is built, and the depth of the human skin is compensated. At the same time, the depth of the tissue can be set to obtain the above-mentioned skin tissue depth model. Then, the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film can be obtained by printing based on the data in the skin tissue depth model using 3D printing technology.
[0070] In this embodiment, after step 10, the method further includes:
[0071] Step S20: Control the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound therapy device to emit ultrasound energy to the target skin tissue through the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, and the ultrasound energy is focused on the target layer of the target skin tissue.
[0072] In this embodiment, after the step of controlling the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound therapy device to emit ultrasound energy to the target skin tissue through the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, the method further includes: controlling the ultrasound probe to slide on the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film, wherein the sliding path of the ultrasound probe crosses at least different depth regions of the target skin tissue.
[0073] In practical applications, after the inner surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film is tightly bonded to the human skin tissue, the ultrasound probe of the ultrasound therapy device can be controlled to directly emit ultrasound energy through the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to perform ultrasound therapy on the human skin tissue. Furthermore, during treatment, the ultrasound probe can be controlled to slide across the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to traverse different depth areas of the target skin tissue, thereby performing ultrasound therapy on areas at different depths.
[0074] This embodiment discloses a method of tightly adhering the inner surface of an ultrasound therapy-assisted film to the outer surface of the target skin tissue, ensuring that the distance between the outer surface of the ultrasound therapy-assisted film and the target layer of the target skin tissue is within a preset range. This allows the ultrasound therapy-assisted film to compensate for and correct the treatment depth of the skin tissue, enabling the ultrasound therapy device to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue based on the compensated skin depth. This solves the technical problem in existing ultrasound therapy devices where the treatment depth of the treatment head is fixed, while the depth of human tissue varies, making it impossible to precisely treat specific layers of human tissue. In particular, the skin depth of the cheeks and around the eyes differs significantly. By utilizing the ultrasound therapy-assisted film, treatment can be performed without obstruction across the cheeks and around the eyes, greatly increasing the sliding range of the same ultrasound therapy head and improving efficiency.
[0075] It should be noted that the above examples are only for understanding this application and do not constitute a limitation on the ultrasound therapy auxiliary film of this application. Any simple modifications based on this technical concept are within the protection scope of this application.
[0076] The above description is only a part of the embodiments of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. All equivalent structural transformations made under the technical concept of this application and using the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of this application.
