ELECTRONEUROADAPTIVE STIMULATOR COSMODIC, STIMULATION ELECTRODE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REJUVENATING AND HEALING FACE AND NECK SKIN Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine; cosmetics; medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device has DC power supply source, unit for controlling and producing starting pulses, demultiplexor unit, two-sectioned, inductance coil of high figure of merit, key amplifiers and electrode unit having coaxial active and passive electrodes. The electrode unit has electric insulating casing and external passive electrode and internal active electrode coaxially mounted on end and/or lateral casing surface. The electrodes are connected to stimulator device output via outgoing wire leads. The casing is designed as hollow truncated tetrahedral pyramid. Contact surfaces of the electrodes have revolution body surface which radius is 3-10 or more times as large as maximum external electrode size. Method involves applying the stimulator device by smoothly moving or changing place of the electrode unit having coaxial active and passive electrodes along massage lines of face and/or neck. The electrodes are connected to the inductance coil of high figure of merit (greater than 100) periodically saturated with electromagnetic energy in connecting several coil loops to DC power supply source poles for given time of 0.5-500 mcs having 1.0-12.0 V voltage. Repeated connection is carried out not earlier than in twice the connection time duration. The first electric oscillation half-wave amplitude is equal to A=20-800 V and oscillation period T=0.1-200 mcs. Treatment with electric current is administered at least every second day during 21-25 days with total treatment time being 10-40 min per day.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; high stability of contact to skin; accelerated treatment course.
