Description

skin care device

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a skin care device. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a skin care device that can enhance fat proliferation in the human body by irradiating ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation.

[0002] Ultrasound refers to waves with a frequency of 20 kHz or higher and has the property of penetrating water.

[0003] The most representative application of ultrasound in the medical field is ultrasound imaging devices that utilize the properties of ultrasound penetration and reflection. For example, there is a device that visualizes the time and intensity of ultrasound reflection as it passes through the body and into each organ, thereby obtaining cross-sectional images of the body.

[0004] Additionally, there is a device that uses the heat generated by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to burn and remove specific subcutaneous tissues such as tumors within the skin, or to induce degeneration and regeneration of skin tissues to produce skin beauty or skin plastic surgery effects such as wrinkle improvement.

[0005] These ultrasonic generators are used to focus ultrasonic waves at a desired depth, control the desired depth, and deliver effective energy to the desired depth without damaging the epidermis.

[0006] However, conventional ultrasonic generators have had limitations in improving fat proliferation in the human body.

[0007] The purpose of the embodiment disclosed in the present disclosure is to provide something that can improve fat proliferation in a human body by irradiating the human body with ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation.

[0008] The problems to be solved by the present disclosure are not limited to the problems mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0009] According to one aspect of the present disclosure for achieving the above-described technical task, a skin care device may include an ultrasonic irradiation unit that irradiates ultrasonic energy to a human body; and a processor that controls the operation of the ultrasonic irradiation unit, wherein the ultrasonic irradiation unit may be characterized by irradiating ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the irradiation location of the human body.

[0012] In addition, the processor may be connected to the acquisition device by wire or wirelessly, and the ultrasound irradiation unit may further irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation to a target depth of the human body linked to the thickness information for each irradiation location based on the thickness information for each irradiation location of the human body acquired through the acquisition device before or after the irradiation of the ultrasound energy.

[0013] In addition, the processor may be connected to the acquisition device by wire or wireless connection, and, when receiving human body shape information acquired through the acquisition device, further determine a location where there is a gap within the individual area where fat proliferation is required based on the human body shape information; and the ultrasound irradiation unit may be characterized in that it further irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation to the location where there is a gap.

[0015] In addition, the ultrasound irradiation unit may be characterized in that it further irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation at a right angle or an oblique angle with respect to the surface of the human body.

[0016] In addition, the processor may be characterized in that it is connected to an ultrasound imaging device by wire or wirelessly; and further controls the ultrasound imaging device to capture and display at least one of a focus position and a target depth of the human body when irradiating ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation.

[0017] In addition, the processor may be connected to an ultrasonic imaging device by wire or wirelessly; and the ultrasonic irradiation unit may further irradiate ultrasonic energy corresponding to the fat proliferation to the human body based on an image of a polymer particle injected into the human body obtained through the ultrasonic imaging device.

[0018] Additionally, the human body may be characterized by at least one of a face, buttocks, chest, and a sunken area.

[0019] In addition, the ultrasound irradiation unit may be characterized by further irradiating ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation to at least one of the deep fat layer of the face, the area under the buttocks, the area under the chest, and the area under the sunken area.

[0020] In addition, the ultrasound irradiation unit may be characterized in that, when the human body is the face, ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation is irradiated to a fat pad provided at an irradiation location of the deep fat layer of the face, and ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation is irradiated to an individual area where the fat proliferation is required among the irradiation locations of the deep fat layer.

[0021] In addition, the processor, when connected to the acquisition device by wire or wirelessly and receives skin skeletal information acquired through the acquisition device, further determines a location where there is a gap within the individual area requiring fat proliferation based on the skin skeletal information; and the ultrasound irradiation unit may be characterized in that it further irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation to the location where there is a gap.

[0022] In addition, if the human body is a face, the device may further include a high-frequency irradiation unit that irradiates high-frequency waves based on a dielectric electrode to a deep fat layer of the face; and the ultrasonic irradiation unit may be characterized in that the high-frequency irradiation unit irradiates high-frequency energy to a retaining ligament and further irradiates ultrasonic energy corresponding to the fat proliferation to a location where there is a depression within an individual area where the fat proliferation is required.

[0023] In addition, the ultrasound irradiation unit may be characterized in that, when the human body is a face, it further irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to the fat proliferation at a right angle or an oblique angle with respect to the broad surface of the face.

[0059] Below, we will take a closer look at the skin care device.

[0062] Figure 6 is a drawing showing another example of the process in which the ultrasonic irradiation unit of Figure 2 irradiates ultrasonic waves. Figure 7 is a drawing showing a fat pad and an individual area requiring fat proliferation.

[0063] Figure 8 is a diagram showing the sequence of occurrence of fat loss during the human skin aging process. Figures 9 and 10 are diagrams showing superficial facial fat pads and deep facial fat pads.

[0064] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, the skin care device (100) may include an ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) and a control unit (120).

[0065] An ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) having a transducer (111) can irradiate ultrasonic waves to a human body (S) while maintaining an ultrasonic focus depth. At this time, the ultrasonic focus depth may be changed depending on the user. Here, the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) can irradiate ultrasonic waves to a human body (S) with an ultrasonic focus depth changed in response to the measured depth.

[0066] At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can irradiate ultrasound to at least one of the buttocks (S1), chest (S2), face, and sunken area. Here, the irradiation area of ​​the buttocks (S1) can be 20 mm to 10 cm.

[0067] Additionally, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can irradiate ultrasound to the deep fat layer (S11) of the facial area, which can be under the eyes or under the cheekbones. Here, the deep fat layer (S11) can be the fat layer below the SMAS layer. In addition, the sunken area can be another area of ​​the human body where fat proliferation is directly required.

[0068] The control unit (120) may be implemented with a memory (121) that stores data on an algorithm for controlling the operation of components within the device or a program that reproduces the algorithm, and at least one processor (122) that performs the aforementioned operation using the data stored in the memory (121). Here, the memory (121) and the processor (122) may each be implemented as separate chips. Additionally, the memory (121) and the processor (122) may also be implemented as a single chip.

[0069] The memory (121) can store data supporting various functions of the device, programs for the operation of the control unit, input / output data, and a plurality of application programs (or applications) run on the device, data for the operation of the device, and commands. At least some of these application programs can be downloaded from an external server via wireless communication.

[0070] The memory (121) may include at least one type of storage medium among a flash memory type, a hard disk type, an SSD (Solid State Disk type), an SDD (Silicon Disk Drive type), a multimedia card micro type, a card type memory (e.g., SD or XD memory, etc.), a random access memory (RAM), a static random access memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, and an optical disk. In addition, the memory (121) may be a database that is separate from the device but is connected by wire or wirelessly.

[0071] The processor (122) can control the operation of the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110).

[0072] Here, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the irradiation location of the human body (S). At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the buttocks (S1), chest (S2), deep fat layer (S11), and sunken area.

[0073] For example, the ultrasonic energy may be 0.01 to 0.2 J, preferably 0.1 to 0.2 J, and most preferably 0.1 J. Here, when the ultrasonic energy is less than 0.01 J, the effect of fat proliferation is minimal, and when the ultrasonic energy is more than 0.2 J, the effect of fat reduction can be exerted.

[0074] Here, the human body (S) means a sunken area, for example, at least one of the buttocks (S1), chest (S2), and face, and is not limited thereto, the human body (S) may be another area requiring fat proliferation.

[0075] For example, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to activate fat proliferation in fat pads (PD1 to PD5) provided at the irradiation location of the buttocks (S1), and irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to individual areas directly requiring fat proliferation among the irradiation locations of the buttocks (S1). Here, the fat pads (PD1 to PD5) may be the same size or different sizes. At this time, the individual area requiring fat proliferation may be an area of ​​the fat pads (PD1 to PD5) or an area excluding the fat pads (PD1 to PD5). Here, the individual area may be a sunken area area of ​​the buttocks (S1) or an area below the buttocks (S1).

[0076] In addition, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to activate fat proliferation in the fat pads (PD6 to PD9) provided at the irradiation location of the chest (S2), and can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to individual areas where fat proliferation is directly required among the irradiation locations of the chest (S2). Here, the fat pads (PD6 to PD9) may be the same size or different sizes. At this time, the individual area where fat proliferation is required may be an area of ​​the fat pads (PD6 to PD9) or an area excluding the fat pads (PD6 to PD9). Here, the individual area may be a sunken area area of ​​the chest (S2) or an area below the chest (S2).

[0077] In addition, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to activate fat proliferation in the fat pad provided at the irradiation location of the deep fat layer (S11), and can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to an individual area directly requiring fat proliferation among the irradiation locations of the deep fat layer (S11). Here, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the fat pad (BPD) may refer to fat tissue in a specific area of ​​the body. For example, the fat pad (BPD) may be a buccal fat pad, and the individual area requiring fat proliferation may be at least one of a temporal extension area (A1), a buccal extension area (A2), and a pterygoid extension area (A3).

[0078] As another example, the processor (122) may be connected to the acquisition device (10) by wire or wirelessly. At this time, the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) may irradiate ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to a target depth of the buttocks (S1) linked to the thickness information for each irradiation location based on the thickness information for each irradiation location of the buttocks (S1) acquired through the acquisition device (10) before or after the irradiation of ultrasonic energy.

[0079] In addition, the processor (122) may be connected to the acquisition device (10) by wire or wirelessly. At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) may irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the target depth of the chest (S2) linked to the thickness information for each irradiation location based on the thickness information for each irradiation location of the chest (S2) acquired through the acquisition device (10) before or after the irradiation of the ultrasound energy.

[0080] In addition, the processor (121) may be connected to the acquisition device (10) by wire or wirelessly. At this time, the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) may irradiate ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the target depth of the deep fat layer (S11) linked to the thickness information for each irradiation location based on the thickness information for each irradiation location of the deep fat layer (S11) acquired through the acquisition device (10) before or after the irradiation of ultrasonic energy.

[0081] Accordingly, since the depth of at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) differs for each person, the present disclosure can activate fat proliferation in the fat pads (PD1 to PD5, PD6 to PD9, BPD) provided at at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) for each person linked to the thickness information of each investigation location acquired for each person, by irradiating ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation, and can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to individual areas where fat proliferation is directly required among the investigation locations of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) for each person.

[0082] As another example, the processor (122) may be connected to the ultrasonic imaging device (20) by wire or wirelessly. At this time, when the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) irradiates ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11), the ultrasonic imaging device (20) may be further controlled so that at least one of the focusing position and the target depth of at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) is captured and displayed.

[0083] Accordingly, the present disclosure captures and displays at least one peripheral location among the buttocks, the chest, and the cheekbones, but since there may be a difference in at least one of the focus locations and target depths of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) for each person, at least one of the focus locations and target depths of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S111) for each person can be accurately captured and displayed. At this time, the user can confirm at least one of the focus locations and target depths of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) for each person.

[0084] As another example, when the processor (122) is connected to the acquisition device (10) by wire or wireless connection and receives the external shape information of the buttocks (S1) or chest (S2) acquired through the acquisition device (10), the processor (122) can further determine the location of the sagging within the individual area based on the external shape information of the buttocks (S1) or chest (S2). At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can further irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the location of the sagging.

[0085] As another example, the processor (121) is connected to the acquisition device (10) via a wired or wireless connection, and when skin skeletal information acquired through the acquisition device (10) is received, the processor (121) can further determine the location of the sagging within the individual area based on the skin skeletal information. At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can further irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the location of the sagging.

[0086] As shown in Figure 8, the sequence of occurrence of fat loss during the human skin aging process can proceed in the order of P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5.

[0087] Accordingly, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) irradiates ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to activate fat proliferation in the fat pad (BPD), and as shown in FIG. 9, it can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one fat pad that directly requires fat proliferation among the superficial facial fat pads (PD11 to PD15) and the deep facial fat pads (PD16 to PD19) corresponding to at least one of P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 that have an off-axis in the individual area.

[0088] Meanwhile, for volume-uplifting that doesn't sag due to gravity, dielectric electrode-based radiofrequency irradiation may be necessary. This dielectric electrode-based radiofrequency irradiation can effectively lift the face. This facial volume-uplifting can contract and strengthen the retaining ligaments that maintain the structure and shape of the skin layer.

[0089] That is, the skin care device (100) according to the present disclosure may further include a high-frequency irradiation unit (130). Here, the high-frequency irradiation unit (130) may irradiate high-frequency waves based on a dielectric electrode to at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11). For example, the dielectric electrode may be a monopolar electrode or a bipolar electrode.

[0090] At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can irradiate high-frequency energy to at least one of the buttocks (S1), chest (S2) and retaining ligament by the high-frequency irradiation unit (130), and can further irradiate ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the location where there is an off-line.

[0091] Accordingly, since the present disclosure enables volumetric heating according to the operating mechanism, when irradiating high frequency through the high frequency irradiation unit (130), the fat reduction in the location where there is a dip can be improved by irradiating ultrasonic energy corresponding to the fat proliferation.

[0092] As another example, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can further irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation at a right angle or an oblique angle with respect to the surface of the buttocks (S1) or chest (S2).

[0093] Therefore, the present disclosure can efficiently irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation in the buttocks (S1) or chest (S2) for each patient. That is, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can increase the efficiency of irradiation by irradiating ultrasound energy with a motion such as pushing the buttocks (S1) or chest (S2). Therefore, it is preferable that the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) be designed with a structure capable of irradiating ultrasound energy with a motion such as pushing the buttocks (S1) or chest (S2).

[0094] In addition, the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) can further irradiate ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation at a right angle or an oblique angle with respect to the surface of the sclera.

[0095] Therefore, the present disclosure can efficiently irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation without affecting the cheekbones. That is, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can irradiate ultrasound energy deeply without affecting the cheekbones by irradiating ultrasound energy in a motion similar to pushing the bone. Therefore, it is preferable that the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) be designed with a structure capable of irradiating ultrasound energy in a motion similar to pushing the bone.

[0096] As another example, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can further irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the area under the buttocks (PD5), the area under the chest (PD9), the deep fat layer under the eye (S11), and the area under the sunken area. At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) can be provided in a pen type to irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the area under the buttocks (PD5), the area under the chest (PD9), the deep fat layer under the eye (S11), and the area under the sunken area.

[0097] Therefore, the present disclosure can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation, since there is a location where fat proliferation is required in at least one of the area under the buttocks (PD5), the area under the breasts (PD9), the deep fat layer of the area under the eyes (S11), and the area under the sunken area, thereby enhancing fat proliferation in at least one of the area under the buttocks (PD5), the area under the breasts (PD9), and the area under the sunken area.

[0098] As another example, the processor (122) may be connected to the ultrasound imaging device (20) by wire or wirelessly. At this time, the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) may further irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) based on the image of the polymer particles injected into at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) obtained through the ultrasound imaging device (20). For example, the polymer particles may be 30 to 40 nm particles and may be exosomes.

[0099] Accordingly, the present disclosure can irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11) after injecting polymer particles into at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), and the deep fat layer (S11).

[0100] Accordingly, the present disclosure can improve fat proliferation by scattering ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation at the location where polymer particles are injected, thereby irradiating ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to a deeper location.

[0101] For example, in the present disclosure, when ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation is irradiated at a focus depth of 3 mm or 4.5 mm from a location where polymer particles are injected at a depth of about 3 mm, the ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation is scattered, so that the ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation can be irradiated to at least one target depth location among the buttocks (S1), chest (S2), and sunken area areas, or to a depth location of about 9 mm where a deep fat layer (S11) is located, thereby improving fat proliferation.

[0102] Accordingly, the skin care device according to the present disclosure can enhance fat proliferation in at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), the sunken area area, and the deep fat layer (S11) by irradiating ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), the sunken area area, and the deep fat layer (S11) for each person.

[0103] Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, the processor (122) may further control the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) so that the ultrasonic irradiation unit (110) irradiates ultrasonic energy corresponding to fat proliferation to at least one of the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), the sunken area, and the deep fat layer (S11).

[0104] At this time, the processor (122) may control the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) to irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to the fat pads (PD1 to PD9, BPD) provided at at least one irradiation location among the buttocks (S1), the chest (S2), the sunken area area, and the deep fat layer (S11) so as to activate fat proliferation. Thereafter, the processor (121) may control the ultrasound irradiation unit (110) to irradiate ultrasound energy corresponding to fat proliferation to individual areas where fat proliferation is directly required among the irradiation locations among the buttocks (S1) for each person, the chest (S2) for each person, the sunken area area for each person, and the deep fat layer (S11) for each person.
