[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a root stimulator that activates the scalp and nourishes the hair by electrically stimulating the roots (around the roots of the hair of the head and eyebrows).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, methods of externally stimulating the scalp to grow and grow hair include giving a light blow in combination with a hair-growth agent, cooling, heat and steam application, irradiation of light rays such as ultraviolet rays, application of magnetic force, and vibration. Stimuli such as massage have been proposed, and devices have been developed accordingly.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional methods and devices that use various stimuli have the following problems. Stimulation to the scalp is fixed and fixed, and problems such as dermatitis and itchiness may occur if the areas to which the stimulus is applied are concentrated. It is troublesome to use different stimuli according to each scalp part or each person's scalp characteristics.

[0004]

[Means for solving problems]

 The hair root stimulator according to the present invention provides a novel hair device that is effective for hair nourishment and hair growth by applying appropriate electrical stimulation to the scalp and the like. Electrical stimulation = By properly selecting the stimulation current, a hair growth stimulating effect can be achieved on both a hyperactive scalp and a declining scalp. The device of the present invention can also be used in combination with a hair restorer. The hair nourishing agent is preferably an electrolytic solution, which can be electrolyzed and ionized by the electric stimulation of the present invention and introduced into the scalp to penetrate. It also has the effect of adjusting the potential difference of each layer of the epidermis to obtain a normal scalp. Thus, the present invention aims to provide a hair root stimulator that can easily perform electrical stimulation according to each person's scalp and can easily perform self hair growth stimulation at home.

Usually, the surface of the scalp is covered with a slightly acidic protective film around PH 5,0 to 6,0. The epidermis under the protective membrane presents a potential difference in each layer, and from the protective membrane to the stratum corneum, the stratum granulosum, the spinous layer, the basal layer, and the dermis layer, the positive and negative potentials alternate with positive and negative. They are each other. For hair nourishment and hair growth, it is optimal to stabilize the normal scalp condition by giving + to the scalp such as oily stimulus and-to the deteriorating scalp such as rough skin to equalize the electric potential. is there.

The present invention was devised in order to achieve a hair root stimulating effect as described above, and a plurality of comb blade tips or brush bristles (here) which are parts contacting the hair root (scalp). In this case, it is used not in the sense of bristles of pigs, etc. but in the sense of a napped member) and the conductive part is exposed on the grip, and the stimulation current is generated by connecting the electrode and the conductive part to a power source. A device is connected, and a stimulating current is applied to the root of the contact hair by using the electrode in a part of the tip of the comb blade and the electrode in the other part as different polarities, or the conductive part of the exposed grip is used. Is a hair root stimulator for applying a stimulating current to the contact hair root portion by making the electrode and the like at the tip of the comb blade different from each other.

The stimulating current is a pulsed current (direct current) of rectangular wave or spinous wave, or a pulsed alternating current of spinous wave oscillated by a transistor or a diode, and has a frequency of 1000 Hz to 3000 Hz.

In the case of a configuration in which a pulsed flat current (direct current) is used as the stimulating current and the electrode in the part of the tip of the comb blade and the electrode of the tip of the comb blade in the other part are of different polarities, the electrodes are The electrodes can be switched electrically or by mechanically rotating the base of the comb blade.

As described above, according to the present invention, basically, a grip having a stimulating current generating device such as a low-frequency pulse current incorporated therein and a conductive portion being exposed is provided with electrodes at a plurality of comb blade tips or bristles, respectively. And a polarity changeover switch between the comb and the conductive portion and an output adjusting dial are provided to apply proper electrical stimulation.

Further, although penetration and depth of stimulation are required for hair root stimulation, it has been found that it is preferable to set a low frequency waveform to a deep differential type, and the low frequency used in the present invention is There is also a feature that the frequency is 1000 Hz to 3000 Hz in the spike-shaped wave of the pulse current.

It is preferable that the comb blade or the bristle mounting portion provided at the tip of the comb or the rotating comb is made of a cushion material so as to softly contact the scalp or a cushion material is interposed.

[0012]

[Work]

 The hair root stimulator according to the present invention is turned on and held by hand, the palm is brought into contact with the conductive part, and at the same time, the comb blade is attached to the scalp to comb the hair, and the hair root stimulator, the palm and the scalp. An electrical circuit is constructed in and a low-frequency pulse current is applied to the scalp.

Stimulation of low-frequency pulse current is stimulation with a short cycle. The strength of the electrical stimulation can be adjusted arbitrarily with the output adjustment dial on the side of the grip, and the ion movement of each layer in the scalp (protective membrane, stratum corneum, granule layer, spinous layer, basal layer, dermis layer, subcutaneous tissue) Depending on the characteristics of the scalp, it is possible to change the polarity by using the comb blade polarity switch or rotating the comb blade base. Since the polarity can be switched in the bristles, it is suitable for partial stimulation and is easy to use.

In this way, the output of the pulse current from the comb blade is adjusted and the polarity is switched according to the characteristics of the scalp and hair root, and proper electrical stimulation can be given to the hair root of the scalp to obtain a hair growth stimulation effect.

Further, by interposing the electrolyte solution between the comb blade electrode and the scalp, the sensitive scalp receives an electrical stimulation without damaging the protective film, and at the same time, electrolytic ions can be introduced and penetrate into the scalp. When a low-frequency pulsed current is applied to the electrolyte solution as a hair nourishing agent, the ionized + and − ions move according to the polarity of the comb blade and penetrate into the scalp. A certain lotion effective for the scalp can be electrolyzed into an ionic form to introduce and permeate into the scalp a component effective for the state of the cortex and scalp, and at the same time as the electrical stimulation. .

[Effect of device]

 The hair root stimulator according to the present invention has the above-described constitutional effects and has the following unique technical effects. Since the stimulus to the scalp is dynamic and can be moved where the stimulus is applied, the stimulus to the skin can be adjusted and no trouble occurs. Stimulation of a low-frequency pulse current aims to normalize the tissue of hair loss and thinning hair that may occur in the scalp due to the stiff scalp blood flow and become a deteriorating scalp. By promoting hair growth and activating hair growth, hair cycle is lengthened and the active period is extended to prevent hair loss. When the scalp is dry skin (decreasing skin) or oily skin (promoting skin), the polarity of the stimulating current is switched according to its characteristics, and a positive or negative potential is applied. It can assist the metabolism of the scalp. The characteristics of the scalp naturally vary from person to person, but there are characteristics of each part of the head depending on the season and the height of nerves. In the present invention, the polarity can be switched even in a part of the comb or bristles, so that stimulation to a narrow part can be appropriately performed. As described above, the hair root stimulator according to the present invention is safe, can easily perform hair-growth stimulation according to each person's scalp, is labor-free, and has an extremely practical value.
