The Characteristics on the Hair Growth Using Diathermic Adjustable High-Frequency Generator

심부투열용 가변형 고주파 발생기를 적용한 발모 촉진 특성

Medical equipment of high frequency has been presently applied to various parts of human body and novel treatment effects have been shown by it. Recently there are many cases that high frequency apparatus has been used in dermatology as the interest in beauty has been growing. Especially used in skin, blood volume is increased by keeping surface temperature of skin at around $43^{\circ}C$ and domodex folliculorum are treated by applying high electric field. It is the aspect we consider that increasing blood volume and domodex folliculorum treatment take effect on hair loss. In this study, high frequency electrotherapy apparatus was proposed to be applied to hair loss treatment. For that, human body was experimented with varying output voltage and frequency. The adjustable switching signal for treatment was obtained from 100[kHz] to 1000[kHz] by using DSP. Stable output specific was also obtained by feedback control to protect human body. The best hair growth conditions were the output voltage of 1.2[kV], the frequency of near 300[kHz] and the maximum current of 2[mA]. We apply this high frequency electrotherapy apparatus to two bald men, 46-year-old and 45-year-old. After treatment for a month they had thick and strong hair.
