Therapeutic and
Beauty functions
of Microcurrent
The application of electrical currents to various parts of the human body to achieve various therapeutic results is well known. Although how a particular therapeutic result is achieved by the application of an electrical current is not always well understood.
The present invention provides a system that enables an individual to safely self-administer a short course of treatment to reduce wrinkles on his or her skin. The design of the device is inherently safe because the voltage, microcurrent generated, and the resultant current density are very low. This is made possible by the fact that only dermal cells, and not underlying muscle tissue, need be affected to achieve the desired result.
Such low microcurrent levels that are insufficient to stimulate muscle tissue are nevertheless sufficient to stimulate blood flow and cellular oxygenation, prevent cellular dehydration, and restore healthy cell regeneration in the dermal layer so as to reduce wrinkles effectively. Over utilization or misapplication of the device will not result in any negative side effects to the user or the device because of the low microcurrent levels involved.
electrical currents have been found useful in the following applications:
> to help control pain
> to promote and accelerate the healing of skin ulcers
> to promote the healing of soft-tissue wounds in human skin
> to repair, alter, or reverse different skin conditions, including smoothing wrinkles
> to electronically stimulate the skin and provide “facial toning” in sit beauty salons and other similar establishments
