[0038] 1. Frosted glass: Light spot homogenization treatment is achieved by using single-sided polished frosted glass, the uniformity required by the specific technology needs to be satisfied. The surface contacted with the skin is required to be smooth and easy to slide.

[0039] 2. Optical universal head: As shown in FIG. 3, the frosted glass lens is fixed to the optical direction head, the optical fiber output end is fixed at a certain position behind the lens. Three or more optical direction heads are arranged on the same plane, and are mounted on the integral supporting device. Adjacent optical universal heads are connected using the connectors with spherical structure, every optical universal head can keep relative movement. The pressure due to the usage can cause the optical universal head to be rotated, driving the lens to rotate, so that the skin can be tightly fitted at the angular corner locations of the skin.

[0040] 2.1 Lens: a single-sided polished frosted glass can be used to homogenize light spots, an upper concave mirror or a convex mirror, a plane lens and other lenses can also be mounted to achieve different functions.

A sinking groove is formed at the position where the lens is mounted, so that the lens can be conveniently mounted. At the rear end of the lens fixing frame, there is a connecting port to mount the optical fiber fixture.

[0042] 2.4 Optical fiber fixture: The frame to fix an optical fiber needs to connect a lens fixing frame and a fixed optical fiber light emitting port, maintain the light-light beam outputs of the optical fibers to be perpendicular to the mirror surface. A metal conical frame body, a high-strength spring and a high-strength elastic material can be used.

[0043] 2.5 Connector: The connector can be a metal fixing body, the two ends are in a spherical shape, the spherical bodies at the two ends can also be connected through a connecting rod, which is made of high-strength elastic materials.
