Abstract
A light emitting device for a human having a scalp with hair, the device includes a flexible arcuate base configured to contour a portion of the scalp. The base has a width between 20 mm and 120 mm and includes an interior and an interior surface. At least one array of teeth is coupled to the interior surface, each tooth in the at least one array of teeth being pressed against the scalp when the base is contoured about the scalp. Each tooth is configured to part the hair when the at least one array of teeth is pressed against the scalp. An array of at least one of light emitting diodes and laser diodes coupled to the based proximate the at least one array of teeth.
Claims22
A light emitting device for a human having a scalp with hair, comprising:
- a flexible arcuate base configured to contour a portion of the scalp, the base having a width between 20 mm and 120 mm, the base including an interior and an interior surface;
- at least one array of teeth coupled to the interior surface, each tooth in the at least one array of teeth being pressed against the scalp when the base is contoured about the scalp, each tooth being configured to part the hair when the at least one array of teeth is pressed against the scalp;
- and
- an array of at least one of light emitting diodes and laser diodes coupled to the based proximate the at least one array of teeth.
A hair growth system for use with a human scalp having hair, comprising:
- a base configured to contour the scalp, the base including an interior and an interior surface, the base having a width of between 20 mm and 120 mm;
- at least two arrays of teeth coupled to the interior surface, each tooth in the at least two arrays of teeth being pressed against the scalp when the base is contoured about the scalp, each tooth being configured to part the hair when the at least two arrays of teeth are pressed against the scalp;
- an array of laser diodes disposed within the interior between the at least two arrays of teeth;
- and
- a control unit in communication with and remote to the base, the control unit being configured to activate the array of laser diodes.
A hair growth system for use with a human scalp having hair, comprising:
- a flexible arcuate base configured to contour the scalp, the base including an interior and an interior surface, the base having a width between 20 mm and 120 mm;
- at least two arrays of teeth coupled to the interior surface, each tooth in the at least two arrays of teeth being pressed against the scalp when the base is contoured about the scalp, each tooth being configured to part the hair when the at least two arrays of teeth are pressed against the scalp;
- an array of laser diodes disposed within the interior between the at least two arrays of teeth;
- the base being movable from a first position on the scalp to a second position of the scalp without the at least two arrays of teeth losing contact with the scalp;
- a resilient element being coupled to at least one of the at least two arrays of teeth, the resilient element configured to facilitate the movement of one of the at least two arrays of teeth from a first position away from the interior surface to a second position adjacent the interior surface;
- image capture element coupled to the base, the image capture element being configured to capture one or more images of the scalp when the base is contoured about the scalp;
- and
- a control unit in communication with and remote to the base, the control unit being configured to activate the array of laser diodes;
- the control unit includes a processor configured to:
- compare the captured one or more images of the scalp and determine the extent of follicle density;
- and
- compile the one or more images of the scalp and determine whether substantially the entirety of the scalp has been exposed to light emitted from the array of laser diodes.
