Definitions
- This invention relates to an apparatus for use in providing microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulation ("MENS").
- microcurrent is used to refer to an electrical current in the range 0 to 1000 ⁇ (microampere).
- MENS apparatus which includes an electrical power source and a component wearable on an operator's hand, the wearable component including electrodes adapted to provide a predetermined microcurrent to an area of a subject's body when applied to the body.
- MENS devices apply extremely small electrical currents or microcurrents of less than 1000 ⁇ to nerves of the body using electrodes placed on the skin of the body. MENS devices are distinct from "TENS" devices which typically use electrical currents of 1 mA (milliampere) or greater. MENS treatment delivers very small electrical impulses that mirror the body's own natural bio electrical field. In most cases, treatment is virtually sub- sensory, with just a slight electrical tingling sensation.
- MENS treatment was originally developed for treating facial palsy, but is now also used in physiotherapy for pain control and in hospitals for wound healing.
- MENS apparatus has been used for treatments for age-related macular degeneration, wound healing, tendon repair, and ruptured ligament recovery, and for cosmetic treatments.
- the low level electrical current triggers the body's natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level MENS treatment can achieve a number of cosmetic benefits, including improved muscle tone in the face and neck, lifting of jowels and eyebrows, reducing or eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, improved facial circulation, assistance in lymphatic drainage, and enhanced product penetration to treat multiple skin problems.
- MENS treatment provides a number of cosmetic benefits:
