Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a medical skin care device including a contact surface, which is capable of performing skin analysis by bringing the contact surface into contact with the skin, thereby detecting at least one skin blemish on the skin and determining at least one treatment method for treating the detected skin blemish. Background Technology

[0002] Skin blemishes are various abnormalities that occur in the skin's structure, leading to impaired appearance and function. These blemishes are generally defined as damage or irregularities observed on the skin's surface or in the subcutaneous tissue. The most common skin blemishes include acne, pigmentation (hyperpigmentation), wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, rosacea, telangiectasia, and dry skin. These blemishes can occur due to a variety of factors, including environmental factors, genetic predisposition, aging, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle.

[0003] Treatment methods for skin blemishes vary depending on the type and severity of the blemish. Today, a variety of technologies and products are used to treat skin blemishes. Among the most common are applications such as topical treatments, laser therapy, chemical peels, phototherapy, fillers, and botulinum toxin injections.

[0004] While current treatments can address skin imperfections to some extent, they also have several limitations. First, these methods are typically targeted at specific skin imperfections. Therefore, personalized treatment planning is limited. For example, methods like laser treatments and chemical peels are generally applicable to most patient groups. However, each individual's skin type and problems may differ, potentially leading to inconsistent treatment outcomes. Furthermore, most current technologies cannot detect skin imperfections. A professional dermatologist or esthetician is usually required to perform a skin analysis.

[0005] Existing technologies use devices that can only perform skin analysis. Treatment requires a separate device. For example, an LED device can be used to treat acne, but the user needs to evaluate the results of the skin analysis to determine when and how to apply the treatment. Skin analysis requires a separate device. This can complicate the user experience and prolong the treatment process.

[0006] Current technology may limit the range of motion during treatment due to its portability limitations. Furthermore, the use of such devices requires specialized knowledge. This makes it difficult for users to manage their treatment at home.

[0007] These shortcomings highlight the need to develop a new generation of devices that can provide users with more effective, personalized, and easily accessible treatments.

[0008] Therefore, all of the above problems urgently require innovation in the relevant technological fields. Summary of the Invention

[0028] In this detailed description, the invention is illustrated by way of example only to better understand the subject matter of the invention, and should not be construed as limiting.

[0029] The present invention relates to a medical skin care device (10) comprising a contact surface (111) capable of performing skin analysis by bringing the contact surface into contact with skin, thereby detecting at least one skin blemish on the skin and determining at least one treatment method for treating the detected skin blemish.

[0030] Reference Figure 1The skin care device (10) includes a portable body (11). The body (11) is portable, providing convenience for the user. For example, the user can use the small handheld device for skin treatment at home or while traveling. The body (11) includes a contact surface (111) for contact with the user's skin. The body (11) may include at least one fastening element to ensure the skin care device adheres to the user's skin. The fastening element may be a skin-attachable strap, band, cord, or material that facilitates skin attachment. The body includes an energy storage unit capable of storing energy. A battery, accumulator, or the like can be used as the energy storage unit. The body includes a switching element that allows energy to pass through the energy unit in a first operating mode and prevents energy from passing through the energy unit in a second operating mode. In a possible embodiment of the invention, a circuit breaker or the like can be used as the switching element. A button, key, or the like can be used to trigger the switching element. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, it can be ensured that the switching element is automatically triggered once the contact surface (111) contacts the skin.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, at least one sensor unit (112) is disposed on the contact surface (111) to collect data from the skin surface and subcutaneous tissue when in contact with the skin. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the sensor unit (112) comprises a spintronic sensor. As is known in the art, a spintronic sensor is a sensor that utilizes magnetic properties and the spin state of electrons for precise measurements. Spintronic sensors are used to analyze biological structures on or under the skin surface. Minor changes in the magnetic properties of subcutaneous tissue can be detected by a spintronic sensor.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the sensor unit (112) comprises a quantum dot sensor. As is known in the art, a quantum dot sensor comprises a nanoscale semiconductor crystal. The sensor exhibits unique optical and electronic properties by confining electrons in three-dimensional space. When the quantum dot is exposed to external energy (such as light or electricity), the electrons enter a high-energy state and then release energy in the form of light. This emitted light can have different wavelengths (colors) depending on the size of the quantum dot. Quantum dot sensors are effective tools for providing high precision and accuracy in skin analysis. These sensors are capable of imaging the biological structures and chemical changes under the skin through light absorption and emission. For example, by detecting melanin density, it can identify skin problems such as hyperpigmentation. In addition, it can detect biochemical changes such as oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby enabling early diagnosis of skin problems. With its ability to emit light at different wavelengths, it can simultaneously analyze different layers of the skin. These characteristics enable more accurate and detailed examination of skin blemishes. In a possible embodiment of the invention, the sensor unit (112) comprises at least one of a spintronic sensor and a quantum dot sensor.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the skin care device (10) includes a processor unit (113) that provides information as output about skin blemishes on the skin and treatment methods for those blemishes by applying skin data received from the sensor unit (112) as input to a mathematical model. The mathematical model, upon receiving skin data trained on skin blemishes and their treatment methods as input, generates outputs related to the skin blemishes and their treatment methods. The processor unit (113) can be a microprocessor, CPU, GPU, etc. The mathematical model described here is an artificial intelligence model.

[0034] The skin care device (10) includes a treatment unit (114) for treating the skin based on skin blemish treatment method information obtained from the processor unit (113). The treatment unit (114) includes an RF wave transmitter. The treatment unit (114) also includes an LED light. The treatment unit (114) also includes an ultrasound device.

[0035] The skin care device (10) includes a communication unit (115) for transmitting information on skin blemishes and treatment methods for skin blemishes received from the processor unit (113) to a user interface (12). In a possible embodiment of the invention, a Bluetooth module is preferably used as the communication unit (115). In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a Wi-Fi module is preferably used as the communication unit (115). In another possible embodiment of the invention, the communication unit (115) may include at least one of a Bluetooth module and a Wi-Fi module.

[0036] The skin care device (10) includes a storage unit (116) configured to allow a processor unit (113) to read and write data. The storage unit (116) may be RAM, ROM, memory stick, SSD, etc.

[0037] An example working scenario of the present invention is described below.

[0038] The user uses the skin care device (10) to perform skin analysis and treatment on dark spots and fine lines on their face. The user places the contact surface (111) of the skin care device on the facial area they wish to analyze. The surface of the device that comes into direct contact with the skin is specially designed to collect skin data. After the user places the contact surface (111) on their skin, the sensors in the skin care device (10) are automatically activated, and the skin analysis process begins. The spintronic sensor and quantum dot sensor contained in the sensor unit (112) of the skin care device are able to collect various data from the skin surface and subcutaneous tissue. These sensors use the data obtained from different layers of the skin to generate a detailed map of skin blemishes. All collected volumetric data is transmitted to the processor unit (113). During this process, the processor unit (113) allows the storage unit (116) to record color changes, moisture levels, and other parameters of the skin surface. The processor unit (113) is able to analyze the collected data using an artificial intelligence-based mathematical model and evaluate the blemishes detected on the user's skin. The analysis results show that the device determines that the user's skin has hyperpigmentation and fine lines. The processor unit (113) also determined that these problems were caused by subcutaneous melanin accumulation and collagen reduction.

[0039] The processor unit (113) determines the appropriate treatment method for the skin blemish. For example, LED light therapy is recommended to reduce hyperpigmentation, while RF wave therapy is recommended to remove wrinkles. The processor unit (113) ensures that the treatment plan is transmitted to the user interface (12) via the communication unit (115). Thus, the treatment method is communicated to the user. The processor unit (113) ensures that the treatment unit (114) operates according to the determined treatment method. LED light operation is provided for dark spots. The LED light penetrates the subcutaneous tissue to remove melanin accumulation. At the same time, RF wave transmitter operation is provided. The RF wave transmitter promotes the production of subcutaneous collagen and reduces wrinkles. The treatment continues while the skin care device (10) is in contact with the skin. Therefore, the skin care device (10) enables the user to apply a treatment method tailored to their skin. After the treatment is completed, the processor unit (113) ensures that all analysis data and the treatment process are recorded in the storage unit (116). The user can view the skin analysis results, treatment process, and future recommendations through the user interface (12). The skin care device (10) provides an effective solution to the user’s skin problems and makes the treatment process practical.

[0040] The skin care device (10) provides users with a multi-functional solution by simultaneously offering skin analysis and treatment. Thanks to spintronic and quantum dot sensors capable of precisely analyzing the skin surface and subcutaneous biological structures, skin imperfections are detected early and accurately. Artificial intelligence-supported models provide effective solutions for skin problems such as hyperpigmentation and wrinkles by offering personalized treatment recommendations. Furthermore, the device's portable design and the automated operation of the treatment unit (114) allow users to perform professional-level skin care and treatments in a home environment. In this way, the skin care device (10) offers significant advantages in terms of time and cost while providing a personalized and holistic skin care experience.

[0041] The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and is not limited to what is described in this detailed description for illustrative purposes. It is evident that those skilled in the art, inspired by the foregoing description, can propose similar embodiments without departing from the spirit of this invention.
