[0005] Another complication of traditional light therapy is that the patient needs to comply with three times a week, fifteen minutes of treatment requirements is also not good, mainly due to the above-mentioned difficulties
Another serious disadvantage for users with thin but still substantially remaining hair is that their endangered remaining hair blocks the treatment light from reaching their scalp, eliminating or greatly reducing the beneficial effects of LLLT

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Figure 1A , 1B The cap 10 in and 1C includes a shroud 11 , a protective and shaded LED array 12 and a diffuser 14 that combine as a therapeutic insert 15 . Cap 10 may be powered by one or more rechargeable batteries, such as battery 16 , and controlled using switch 17 , which may be affixed to brim 19 with microcontroller or microprocessor 20 . The battery 16 may be recharged through a button connector / interface such as connector 22 . The power supply, power controller and switch may also be separate from the Therapy Insert and provide power through any suitable connection.

[0030] Such as Figure 2A As shown, the therapeutic insert comprises a plurality of triangles, segments or triangular pieces 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D, 23E and 23F which may be secured at their edges to form a generally hemispherical cap. The array of LEDs in each triangular block is substantially the same as array 12 . Each LED array can be controlled simultaneously or separately, and each can be co...

Abstract

A phototherapy light cap is a flexible, generally hemispherical cap having a light source to supply suitable dosage requirements of current and future light therapies. The phototherapy light cap may also include a rechargeable battery source, a light source or an array of light sources, a light diffuser and an interface to a recharging source that may be a docking station. A phototherapy light cap may alternatively be an insert for any commercial head dressing, preferably adapted for convenient recharging.

Description

technical field [0001] The following invention relates to the field of hair growth and regrowth in the human scalp. Background technique [0002] There is substantial factual evidence supporting the use of light therapy to promote human hair growth and regrowth. Additional evidence suggests that low-level light therapy (LLLT) may be most beneficial if delivered in one or more narrow spectral windows. [0003] At least three U.S. manufacturers sell products that deliver red light to the scalp: Sunetics, HairMax, and Laser Hair Therapy. State-of-the-art dosing methods include "laser" combs, which use LEDs or laser diodes, that must be slowly swept across the scalp; Light is delivered overhead, usually in a doctor's office facility. [0004] Traditional light therapy methods typically require the patient to perform the treatment, either by themselves applying light area-by-area with a light comb, or by sitting under a hood in a medical or salon setting. [0005] Another com...
