Description

MTS-based home care skin regeneration device The present invention relates to an MTS-based home care skin regeneration device, and more specifically, to an MTS-based home care skin regeneration device that administers a drug for skin improvement to a user's skin using fine needles and simultaneously irradiates light to the skin for skin improvement and treatment. In general, people commonly face not only hair loss but also many different scalp and skin-related conditions, such as acne, sun spots, skin wrinkles, psoriasis, melanosis, and skin cancer. In response to this, a series of treatment methods targeting specific hair, scalp, or skin conditions have been developed and are currently being widely used; recently popular procedures such as obesity, skin, and scalp treatments involve injecting medication or irradiating with expensive lasers. For example, modern people are currently suffering from scalp and hair damage caused by congenital factors such as genetic conditions or acquired factors such as stress and disease. Attempts are being made to utilize light to treat such damaged scalp and hair, and lasers are widely used as light sources for therapeutic purposes. These lasers are primarily used for the removal of moles, warts and corns, epidermal nevi, melanin-containing spots such as freckles, lentigo, and age spots, as well as Ota's nevus, Becker's nevus, and tattoo removal. However, since laser treatment utilizes photothermal decomposition properties, there is a problem in that it causes thermal damage to cells surrounding the target cells. Furthermore, lasers can induce hyperpigmentation or latent herpes infection after treatment, leading to hypertrophic scarring, or cause bacterial infections. In particular, these lasers are expensive and cause issues such as overheating. Meanwhile, Microneedle Therapy System (MTS) is a treatment method that aims for skin regeneration by inducing collagen remodeling through the physical damage caused by needles to stimulate fibroblasts and create pathways for large molecular weight drugs or drugs that are difficult to polarize to effectively penetrate the skin. This treatment method involves stimulating the skin using a roller equipped with fine needles, specifically a method that delivers liquid medication to the target skin or scalp through the rolling motion of a roller in contact with the skin or scalp of the treatment area. Since it is widely used for wrinkle improvement, melasma treatment, stretch mark treatment, enlarged pores, acne scar treatment, and hair loss treatment, related prior art has been proposed. The proposed prior art disposable skin care device using microneedles (Korean Published Patent No. 10-2021-0124090) comprises a gripping body manufactured from one of wood, synthetic resin, and foam material, which is grasped by a user's hand, and having one end surface formed as a rectangle with a width and length of 0.1 to 0.3 cm and 0.3 to 0.7 cm, respectively; an elastic cushion layer laminated on the one end surface of the gripping body; and a plurality of microneedles implanted so as to protrude from the surface of the elastic cushion layer, wherein the lower ends are each implanted into the elastic cushion layer and the upper ends are each processed to be pointed. A portion of the gripping body is bent so that it can be easily grasped by a user, the elastic cushion layer is laminated to correspond to the shape of the one end surface of the gripping body and is manufactured of silicone, and the microneedles are manufactured from one selected from metal, synthetic resin, and wood, with an overall length of 0.01 to 0.05 mm. It is a skin care device. However, such prior art skin care devices inject medication through needles of a set length into holes of a set depth, and lack technology for phototherapy for skin improvement; consequently, the diverse skin characteristics of the user are not taken into account, leading to a problem where the effectiveness of skin improvement and treatment is significantly reduced.
