【発明の詳細な説明】 ［産業上の利用分野］ 本発明は、超音波エネルギーを使用する新規な脱毛方法
及び装置に関するものである。Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel hair removal method and device using ultrasonic energy.
［従来の技術］ 例えば身体の美容等を目的とするために行なう従来の脱
毛方法には、次の如き脱毛方法がある。[Prior Art] Conventional hair removal methods performed for the purpose of, for example, beauty of the body include the following hair removal methods.
a.毛抜き器による脱毛法 この毛抜き器による脱毛方法は簡単に行なえることから
一般的に行なわれている手段であるが、毛抜き器による
脱毛は、ピンセット等の器具を使用して無理やりに引き

菌の感染の予防に注意しなければならないという不具合
がある。a. Hair removal method using a hair remover This hair removal method is a generally used method because it is easy to perform, but hair removal using a hair remover is one that is forcibly pulled out using a device such as tweezers. Therefore, it is impossible to remove a large number of hairs at once because the irritation at the time of hair removal is too strong, and there is a problem that attention must be paid to the prevention of bacterial infection.
b.脱毛ワックスの塗布による脱毛法 これは、所定の脱毛ワックスを溶かして皮膚に塗布し、
その脱毛ワックスの乾燥後、フィルム状となったワック

に多数本の毛をむしり取るため痛みが激しく脱毛部位に
よっては適合しないものである。b. Depilation method by application of depilatory wax This is a prescribed depilatory wax melted and applied to the skin.
After the hair removal wax is dried, the film-like wax sheet is peeled off from the skin and the hair attached to the wax sheet is peeled off. It does not fit depending on the hair loss site.
c.化学的脱毛法 これは脱毛クリームを塗布使用するものであるが、その
脱毛クリームの多くは、毛の水分を増大せしめて毛の弾
力を減少させて、毛の引きちぎりを容易ならしめるもの
であるから、この手段では、毛の多くが皮膚表面で切れ
てしまって、毛根から抜き取ることが困難である。c. Chemical hair removal method This is a method of applying and using a hair removal cream, but most of the hair removal creams increase the water content of the hair to reduce the elasticity of the hair and facilitate the tearing of the hair. Therefore, with this means, most of the hair is cut off on the skin surface, and it is difficult to extract it from the hair root.
d.電気分解による脱毛法 これは、直流電流を毛乳頭に流して、その毛乳頭を破壊

ように処理するものであるが、この脱毛は、専門家に依
頼しなければならないことから高い治療費を必要とし、
さらには、家庭内においてたやすく脱毛することができ
ない不便がある。d. Electrolytic hair removal method This is a method in which a direct current is applied to the hair papilla to destroy the hair papilla and to prevent hair from the hair follicle from being permanently regenerated. This hair removal requires a high treatment cost because you have to ask a specialist,
Furthermore, there is the inconvenience that hair cannot be easily removed at home.
e.高周波電流脱毛法 これは高周波により毛乳頭を熱処理して、萎縮させこれ
により痛みなく脱毛することができるとされているが、
この場合毛根部にニードル（針）を刺入させるため作業

め高周波電流が流れず熱処理できないといった不具合が
あった。e. High-frequency current hair removal method It is said that hair nipples are heat-treated by high-frequency waves to cause atrophy so that hair can be removed without pain.
In this case, it is difficult to work because the needle (needle) is inserted into the hair root part, and it takes several tens of seconds to 1 minute or more to pull out the hair at one location, so it takes a long time to remove hair, and also to tissues other than the hair root. High heat is transmitted, causing burns and severe pain, and it is difficult to pull out the heat. In addition, there are some household appliances that do not use needles, but in this case, there is a problem in that the hair cannot be heat treated because a high-frequency current does not flow because it is an electrical insulator.

This is the development of a hair removal method and a device for hair removal. Further specifically describing the present invention, the hair to be removed is sandwiched by a picker, and the hair is tensioned so that there is no slack,
When ultrasonic energy is applied, ultrasonic vibration energy at the tip of the picker is transmitted to the hair. The ultrasonic vibration energy transmitted to the hair concentrates on one point of the hair root portion where the hair is fixed. Therefore, other tissues are not destroyed, and even weak ultrasonic vibration energy that does not cause side effects can sufficiently divide the tissues of the hair root. Furthermore, since this ultrasonic energy raises the threshold of pain and reduces the frictional resistance at the time of pulling out, safe and efficient hair removal can be performed. Also, since the hair comes off naturally when this division is made,
It is intended to provide a novel hair removal method and device that can remove hair without causing much pain.
［実施例］ 以下に本発明の実施例を図面に基いて詳細に説明する。EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
１は超音波の発振回路であって、この発振回路１に電源
回路２から得られる電源を印加することにより、該発振
回路１から発振出力が出力トランス３に入力され、さら
にこの出力トランス３では所望の出力例えば４〜20wが
可能となって脱毛用ピックアダプタ４に供給されるもの
である。この脱毛用ピックアダプタ４の構造は第２図に
示す如しであって、５は筒状のケースであって、このケ
ース５内には振動子６が、その振動を妨げることのない

一方のピック片９が固定されているものである。その一
方のピック片９に対応する他方のピック片９′は、前記
筒状ケース５と一体に固定されているものである。Reference numeral 1 denotes an ultrasonic wave oscillation circuit. When a power source obtained from a power supply circuit 2 is applied to the oscillation circuit 1, an oscillation output from the oscillation circuit 1 is input to an output transformer 3. A desired output, for example, 4 to 20 w is made possible and is supplied to the epilating pick adapter 4. The structure of this hair removal pick adapter 4 is as shown in FIG. 2, and 5 is a cylindrical case in which the vibrator 6 is placed at a position where it does not hinder its vibration. It is held via the attached support member 7. Further, one pick piece 9 is fixed to the tip of the vibrator 6 via a horn 8. The other pick piece 9'corresponding to the one pick piece 9 is fixed integrally with the cylindrical case 5.
従って発振回路１からの発振信号を出力トランス３を介
して振動子６に供給することにより、一方のピック片９
は超音波振動を起し、双方のピック片9,9′で毛を挟む
ことにより、ピック片９に生じている超音波振動が毛に
伝達される。Therefore, by supplying the oscillation signal from the oscillation circuit 1 to the vibrator 6 via the output transformer 3, one pick piece 9
Causes ultrasonic vibration, and by sandwiching the hair between the pick pieces 9 and 9 ', the ultrasonic vibration generated in the pick piece 9 is transmitted to the hair.
このようにして引き抜くべき毛の根本に超音波振動を作
用させながら、そのピックで毛を徐々に引き抜く例えば
一本当り50〜100gの引張り力を作用させれば、該超音波
振動の作用を受けて毛根と皮膚との結合力が（超音波媒
質組織）が分断され、あまり痛さを感じさせないで円滑
に脱毛することができる。In this way, while applying ultrasonic vibration to the root of the hair to be extracted, gradually pull out the hair with that pick, for example, if a pulling force of 50 to 100 g per hair is applied, the ultrasonic vibration is applied. As a result, the binding force (ultrasonic medium tissue) between the hair root and the skin is divided, and the hair can be smoothly removed without feeling much pain.
脱毛すべき毛根に付与すべき超音波エネルギーの有効振
動数は、本発明者が行なった実験によると、20〜60kHz

なくして脱毛することができた。That is, the thickness of the hair and the depth of the hair root vary widely.
Therefore, relatively thick pubic hair, leg hair, armpit hair, etc., and hair loss of relatively thin hair etc. growing on the arm are set so that the extraction tension becomes substantially constant while applying the ultrasonic energy, and The output frequency of the oscillation circuit is 10 ~
As a result of removing hair while adjusting it in the range of 100 kHz, when the output frequency was 20 to 60 kHz, it was possible to achieve smooth hair removal with less pain.

Therefore, according to this method, the ultrasonic energy causes hair root and skin tissue to be removed. The binding force of the hair is destroyed, and as a result, smooth hair removal is possible without feeling much pain. Further, the hair removing device of the present invention can be made light and small, and can be easily handled at home, so that it has advantages such as excellent practicality.
