Description

Skin monitoring device, skin care device and skin monitoring-based skin care system

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a skin monitoring device, a skin care device, and a skin care system based on skin monitoring.

[0002] Ultrasound refers to waves with a frequency of 20 kHz or higher, and has the property of penetrating water, so it is widely used in at least one medical field among ultrasonic diagnostic devices and ultrasonic probes.

[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 are devices that use 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 tissue.

[0005] However, conventional skin care devices could not accurately determine whether the skin temperature was at an appropriate level and could not accurately determine the condition of the skin surface, so there were limitations in preventing burns while improving the efficiency of skin care.

[0006] The embodiment disclosed in the present disclosure monitors skin temperature in real time when using a skin care device, and accurately determines whether the skin temperature is at an appropriate level, so that the user can take immediate action, thereby improving the efficiency of skin care and preventing burns in advance.
