Description

Skin treatment system and method using LED light {Skin care system and its methodology using LED beam}

The present invention relates to a skin treatment system, and more particularly, to a skin treatment system and method using an LED light beam having a skin treatment apparatus capable of controlling operation through a mobile terminal.

Light therapy is a medical technique that has long been used for the treatment of various diseases. The use of sunlight to treat skin diseases has been used in Egypt, India and China for thousands of years. Solar therapy was reexamined by Niels Ryberg Finsen, a Nobel Prize-winning medical practitioner in 1903, which later gave birth to artificial light phototherapy.

Recently, a method using an LED light source is emerging among light sources for treating skin diseases. The LED light source can effectively treat a large area of disease with an appropriate light output, unlike a high-power laser focused on a local area. LED light source has narrow wavelength bandwidth and emits light of specific wavelength, so harmful UV and unnecessary IR are not emitted, so there is little side effect and low energy does not damage tissue or eye. The US FDA permits the use of LED light sources in the visible and near-infrared regions for human use.

Medical treatment with LED light sources can be explained by the nature of healing and inhibition of inflammation, and in most cases it deals with additional thermal treatments that are additional to surgical treatment. However, medical treatment using the LED light source in recent years is divided into various fields according to the classification of the wavelength used or the combined wavelength, as shown in Table 1. That is, it can be used independently for various skin diseases.

Example of Medical Treatment with LED Light Source Treatment field Wavelength (nm) Pulse type Wound healing 660, 850 Pulse Inflammation healing 630-660 Pulse Skin rehabilitation 630-660 Pulse Sunburn prevention 660-970 Pulse or
Continuous Wave (CW) Photodynamic therapy 405-630 CW

1. Wound Healing

The initial treatment of skin diseases using LED light source was to treat wounds. LED light sources with various wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared regions are present in various cell lines, such as murine fibroblasts, murine osteoblasts, murine skeletal muscle cells and human epithelial cells. Increased cell growth. Research on reducing wound size and increasing wound closure rate has been published, particularly positive findings on rapid wound healing and closure of human skin cells.

In particular, when the LED light source was irradiated after surgery, side effects of swelling, oozing, crusting, pain, and erythema were reported to be significantly reduced. For the healing of skin with necrotic wounds, we reported that the near-infrared wavelength increased the production of metalloproteinases in wound healing.

2. Inflammation Healing

Free radicals are known to cause asymptomatic inflammation. Inflammation occurs through a variety of pathways, caused by the acidification of enzymes produced by our body's immune response to sunlight or chemicals. Treatment with LED light sources is possible through the removal of lesions caused by adverse reactions of the inflammatory inducers. It was reported that the irradiation of 635 nm wavelength light into the fibroblasts of human gums can inhibit the synthesis of PGE2 and thus reduce inflammation. Irradiation of the LED light source helped to clearly distinguish the erythema and minimized discomfort in the healing of wounded patients by pulse die laser treatment. The LED light source inhibits MMP, and it has been reported that inhibition of MMP can reduce lupus of inflamed tissue.

3. Skin Rejuvenation

For skin damaged by sun light, collagen synthesis decreases with an increase in MMP. Thus, strategies to prevent or treat the medical signs of skin aging may be possible to resolve collagen deficiency through the reduction of MMPs and the synthesis of new collagen. It has been reported that the use of various LED light sources that emit light corresponding to the wavelengths of visible and near-infrared regions can enhance skin collagen synthesis and at the same time suppress the increase of MMP. Significant increases in collagen synthesis after irradiation of LED light sources have been reported through various experiments.

4. sunburn prevention

In the visible light, near-infrared light can prevent light damage to the skin. This possibility is supported by nonclinical experiments on the prevention of tissue damage by UV after exposure of IR light to human fibroblasts. That is, the skin irradiated with the LED light source enhances the resistance to UV light. It has been reported that irradiation of 660 nm wavelength light prior to exposure to UV can inhibit erythema caused by UV-B [12]. Although it is still a nonclinical study, the induction of cellular resistance to UV through this method could revolutionize traditional skin protection methods such as UV blockers.

5. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

Photodynamic therapy is a method with the help of a chemical factor, photosensitizer, to maximize phototherapy. The photosensitizer is a material that changes to an excited state by light of a specific wavelength, and absorbs light in the wavelength range from visible to near infrared, and the energy level is excited in the triplet state. The chemical factor at the bottom triplet stat in the cell is the oxygen molecule. When the photosensitizer and the intracellular oxygen molecules are in close proximity, the excited photosensitizer returns to the bottom singlet state, and an energy conversion occurs to produce the excited singlet state oxygen molecules in the cell. Single oxygen is a very aggressive chemical that reacts very quickly with nearby biochemical molecules. This destructive reaction causes the cells to die out in the form of apoptosis or necrosis.

Photodynamic therapy was initially designed for the treatment of cancer, but when applied to the treatment of skin diseases through the selection of appropriate photosensitizers, skin diseases can be treated by removing unnecessary cellular tissues present in the skin. Applicable diseases of photodynamic therapy include cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, vascular tumor, psoriasis, lichen sclerosis, lichen planus, scleroderma, cutaneous leishmaniasis ) And so on. It is being used not only for treatment but also for prevention purposes.
