THERAPEUTIC LASER APPARATUS FOR HAIR LOSS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61N5/67 A61H23/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medical equipment, namely to therapeutic laser apparatuses for hair loss. One of the versions of the apparatus comprises a cap (10) for covering the user's scalp and a laser unit (40) integrated in the cap and generating laser light under power supply controlled by a control unit (c). A flexible insert (30) to one side of which a circuit board (20) with a circuit formed by electric devices is attached, is coupled with an internal side of the cap (10). Vibration motors vibrating under electric supply are connected to the circuit board (20). The laser unit (40) comprises a laser diode electrically connected with the circuit board (20), a lens covering the approaching laser diode, a body and a lens cover. One end of the lens projects from a mount hole formed through the flexible insert (30) contacting the user's scalp. The lens is designed to collect or scatter laser light. The body is provided with a space to comprise the lens, and an open side wherefrom an upper portion of the lens projects. The lens cover closes the open side of the body and has a through hole wherefrom the upper portion of the lens projects one end of which is attached to a body by means of a threaded connection. According to the second version of the apparatus, the laser unit (40) comprises a laser generator on one side of the cap (10) and designed to generate laser light by a control signal of the control unit (c), and the lens coupled with the laser generator by means of an optical cable. One end of the optical cable extends to the lens, and one end of the lens projects from the mount hole formed through the flexible insert being contacting the user's scalp. According to the third version of the apparatus, a case comprising one or more laser diodes is provided on one end of the cap (10). On one end of the laser diode there is a condenser lens collecting laser light. For the purpose of transmission of laser light supplied from the condenser lens from one side thereof, a connective tube is provided which comprises an optical fibre bunch with one end of which connected with one side of the case. The flexible insert (30) connected with the other end of the connective tube so that the optical fibres are integrated in the flexible insert is attached to an internal side of the cap. Brush hairs with their ends coupled with the fibres from laser light generation project from one side of the flexible insert (30).

EFFECT: use of the group of inventions enables intensified activation of hair root cells in the scalp ensured by a simultaneous effect of optical laser pulse light, physical stimulation and thermal stimulation, reducing therapeutic laser light loss thereby providing more deep light penetration.
