Cosmetic electrotherapy

Cosmetic electrotherapy uses low electric currents passed through the skin to produce several therapeutic effects such as muscle toning in the bodyand micro-lifting of the face.Electrical muscle stimulationµcurrent are two of the main types of treatment .

 Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

A. EMS in Body Shaping

Electrical Muscle Stimulationalso known as electromyostimulation, or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) , is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses. The impulsesare delivered through electrodes on the skin and mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract repeatedly.

The treatment results in muscle firming and toning, and an increase in muscular metabolism aims to remove waste products more readily. Electrical muscle stimulation devices have been advertised to increase muscle strength, to decrease body weight and body fat, and to improve muscle firmness and tone in healthy individuals.

B. EMS in Massage

Massage is a treatment for stress or uncomfort. The techniques are to work on the body with pressure, commonly applied with hands , knees, forearm, feet, or a device. HEE employed ELECTRICAL MUSCULAR STIMULATION (EMS) to simulate the MASSAGE feeling (knead, massage, press, thump, combination) to release users’ stress &uncomfort.

Microcurrent treatment

Microcurrent treatment is a popular treatment for aging skin, uses micro-ampere currents (i.e. millionths of an ampere) which are hardly perceptible, but mimic the body's own bio-electric currents. While alternative medicine practitioners use it for injury recovery, skin therapists note that microcurrent provides firming and toning benefits that continue to improve with subsequent treatments. Some clinical studies have shown that after Microcurrent treatments, collagen and elastin production increases and blood circulation improves.Scientists have also found that Microcurrent facelift treatments trigger the body’s production of amino acids and Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Both of these accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production.

Microcurrent can be performed to achieve the following benefits

• Improve muscle tone in the face and neck
• Lift jowls and eyebrows
• Reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles
• Aid in lymphatic drainage and improve facial circulation
• Enhance product penetration to treat multiple skin problems
