Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an IPL light guide device that realizes fractional laser treatment by utilizing a polarization function, and more particularly, to an IPL light guide device that realizes fractional laser treatment by utilizing a polarization function, which irradiates light emitted from a light source in an optimal state, but distinguishes between areas where the light is concentrated and areas where it is not, thereby maximizing the fractional laser treatment effect and realizing optimal treatment results. [Background technology]

[0002] Light irradiators such as IPL (Intense Pulse Light) irradiators used as skin treatment devices are devices that emit light with a certain range of wavelength band in the form of strong pulses and are used for clinical treatments such as skin cosmetic treatment, vascular lesion treatment, and hair removal, and are set to harmonize the selected wavelength band, pulse width, interval between pulses, and energy used.

[0003] Meanwhile, light curing devices that use a laser beam as a light source induce a fractional effect to treat damaged areas. Fractional means that the laser beam is divided into small parts to irradiate microbeams, and is a technique used in procedures such as scar and pore treatment. When the laser beam is irradiated, the thermal stimulation from the light penetrates the dermis layer, stimulating stem cells and regenerating collagen and elastin to realize the therapeutic effect. As a result, the fractional effect is a technique that artificially causes minute damage to the skin to induce regeneration and treat damaged areas.

[0004] In order to induce a fractional effect using the above-mentioned light irradiator, a lens is used to irradiate the emitted light to the treatment area. Such a lens must be able to maximize the desired effect by irradiating the emitted light to the treatment area, and a structure is required to realize the optimal effect. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] In the present invention, in order to maximize the fractional effect and realize the optimal treatment effect by irradiating the light emitted from the light source in an optimal state and particularly by dividing the areas where the light is concentrated from the areas where it is not, a laser irradiation lens for the human body is proposed, which has a three-dimensional body, and the light emitted from the light source passes through the body and is irradiated to the bottom surface, and the bottom surface of the body is alternately formed with concentrated parts where the light is irradiated and reflective parts formed between the concentrated parts to reflect the light toward the concentrated parts, so that the light emitted from the light source is irradiated in a concentrated manner to the concentrated parts.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

[0017] FIG. 1 is an exemplary view of a light irradiation device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exemplary view showing the arrangement relationship between a light source and a lens in the light irradiation device according to the present invention.

[0018] The lens 100 according to the present invention is attached to a light irradiator 200 used for skin beauty treatments and the like.

[0019] The light irradiator 200 may be formed with a handle on one side so that it can be held by hand when used, and has a light source 260 mounted therein surrounded by a reflector 280, and an attachment port 220 formed below the light source 260.

[0020] The light source 260 may be a neon gas lamp formed to a certain length, and the reflector 280 may be formed to have a hemispherical cross section so as to reflect light only in the direction of the mounting port 220 , i.e., the direction of the lens 100 .

[0021] In such a light irradiator 200, the lens 100 according to the present invention is removably attached to the attachment port 220.

[0022] FIG. 3 is an example diagram showing the positional relationship between the lens and a light source according to the present invention, FIG. 4 is an example diagram of the lens according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the lens according to the present invention, FIGS. 6 to 8 are example diagrams showing the shape of the reflective portion according to the present invention, and FIG. 9 is an example diagram showing the state in which a laser is irradiated to a treatment point using the lens according to the present invention.

[0023] The lens 100 has a body 120 formed in a three-dimensional shape, and light emitted from the light source 260 passes through the body 120 and is irradiated to the bottom surface. The body 120 is preferably formed in a hexahedral shape.

[0024] It generates a laser and is placed on the top surface of the fuselage 120.

[0025] Meanwhile, the lens 100 according to the present invention can be attached to a laser irradiator having a handle together with a laser light source 260, but this configuration is not shown in the figures because it can be modified in design into various structures as well as a known configuration.

[0026] In the lens 100 according to the present invention, a concentrating portion 122 and a reflecting portion 124 are formed on the bottom surface of the body 120. The concentrating portion 122 is a portion where light passing through the body 120 is irradiated in a concentrated manner, and the reflecting portion 124 serves to reflect the light passing through the body 120 toward the concentrating portion 122 so that the light can be further concentrated in the concentrating portion 122.

[0027] The concentrated portions 122 and the reflective portions 124 are alternately formed. This structure can be achieved by forming the concentrated portions 122 at a predetermined interval and forming the reflective portions 124 therebetween.

[0028] Here, grooves may be formed in a predetermined pattern on the bottom surface of the body 120, and the grooves may form the reflective portion 124. At this time, the part of the bottom surface of the body 120 where the grooves are not formed is naturally formed as the concentrated portion 122. Therefore, the concentrated portion 122 and the reflective portion 124 are formed alternately. In this configuration, it is preferable that the bottom surface of the body 120 is formed as a flat surface, and the inner wall surface of the reflective portion 124 should be formed as an inclined surface.

[0029] When the reflecting portion 124 is formed by carving a groove in the bottom surface of the body 120 as described above, the light traveling through the body 120 is reflected by the boundary surface between the internal space of the reflecting portion 124 and the body 120, i.e., the inner wall surface of the groove, and travels toward the concentrating portion 122. When traveling light hits an inclined boundary surface, some of the light passes and some is reflected due to the prism phenomenon, and generally more than 95% of the light is reflected.

[0030] The reflecting portion 124 may be formed by digging the grooves in a lattice pattern, i.e., a net-like pattern of weft and warp threads woven together. Accordingly, the concentrating portion 122 has four protrusions, and the reflecting portion 124 surrounds the four sides of the concentrating portion 122. As a result, the reflecting portion 124 reflects and concentrates light toward the concentrating portion 122 from the four sides of the concentrating portion 122.

[0031] Meanwhile, the lattice pattern grooves forming the reflecting portion 124 may be formed to have a triangular cross section. Accordingly, the boundary surface between the internal space of the reflecting portion 124 and the body 120 is naturally formed as an inclined surface. At this time, it is preferable that the triangle is formed as an isosceles triangle, so that the amount of light reflected from the two hypotenuses is the same, and thus light can be reflected to a uniform degree for each concentrated portion 122.

[0032] As another example, the grooves of the lattice pattern may be formed to have a cross section in the shape of a circular arc. Accordingly, the boundary surface between the internal space of the reflecting portion 124 and the body 120 is not flat but is an inclined surface that bulges upward. In this configuration, the amount of reflected light is less than that in the case of a triangle, so it is necessary to select and adopt it considering the intensity of light to be concentrated on the concentrating portion 122 or the amount of light to pass through the reflecting portion 124.

[0033] As another example, the grooves of the grid pattern could be formed to have a square cross section.

[0034] Incidentally, lasers focus light so it tends to travel in a straight line, but IPL is a device that refracts and scatters a lot of light, so even in blind spots the angle of incidence is bent, and the light is refracted, resulting in effects that resemble circles, triangles, etc. depending on the amount of light incident.

[0035] According to the IPL light guide device that realizes fractional treatment using the polarization function of the present invention, the light generated by the light source passes through the body 120 and is irradiated to the bottom surface of the body 120, and is concentrated at the concentration part 122. As a result, the light is concentrated at the treatment point during the process of treating the human body with the light irradiator, and the energy is concentrated at the concentrated point, thereby smoothly inducing the fractional effect.
