20090024116 | LASER HAIR AND SCALP TREATMENT DEVICE - A handled laser treatment device provides a plurality of branched light pipes or light distribution tips distributed so as to evenly deliver laser radiation to the surface of the scalp. To make efficient use of each laser diode, each laser can coupled to a branched light pipe with the branches arranged to distribute light directly to the surface of the scalp. Each laser source is connected to a three branch light pipe. Alternatively, each laser diode can be directly coupled to a light distribution tip arranged in a triad. Each light pipe or light distribution tip acts as a tine or tooth in a comb to bring laser radiation to the scalp free of obstruction by hair, etc., with a tripod configuration that allows each light pipe assembly to evenly contact the rounded surface of the scalp. The branched light pipes or the light distribution tips are preferentially coupled to a flexible membrane so as to be capable of independent orientation allowing improved contact of the distal ends of the tripods or triads to the scalp. | 01-22-2009 |
