METHOD FOR TREATING ACNE DISEASE CASES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61N1/36 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves exposing face zones and additionally submaxillary zones to microcurrent treatment. Electric stimulation is carried out with alternating current in lateral neck surface zones on both sides, abdominal wall zones, lower thoracic vertebral column segment zones in suprarenal gland projection and their innervation zone at the level of V-XII thoracic vertebrae. The treatment is applied at the same time. Treatment intensity with microcurrents is selected so that it causes no current passage sensation. Electric stimulation current intensity is controlled during the first 2-3 procedures from light vibration to moderate muscle contraction under the electrodes during the following procedures. Pulses and pauses in sending current impulses are equal to 2 s. Treatment time is gradually augmented from 10 min during the first procedures to 30 min at the treatment end. The total treatment course is 12-10 days long.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in normalizing functional condition of neuroendocrine system organs.
