ABSTRACT:
A method and device are disclosed for using electrochemistry to rejuvenate skin and underlying tissue and to build and strengthen muscles by applying pulses of DC electrical charge, at a duration in the range of about 0.2 to about 1 millisecond and a variable frequency in the range of about 400 to about 1200 Hertz, to the skin immersed into an container of an electrolyte by means of an anode immersed in or connected to the container to cause the muscle to twitch or only slightly contract with each pulse. The DC is applied at variable current amplitude of from about 1 to about 50 milliamperes, and a voltage in the range of about 50 to about 120 volts.
