The combination of
microcurrent and
red LED light provide a powerful solution for healing and anti-ageing. Results with microcurrent are accelerated by the regenerating effects of red LED light.
The MagicGlow provides the ability to directly treat wrinkles so the "exudative" inflammatory phase can take place.
An exudate is any fluid that filters from the circulatory systm into lesions or areas of inflammation. Its composition varies but generally includes water and the dissolved solutes of the blood, some or all plasma proteins, white blood cells, platelets and sometimes red blood cells. Fibroplast proliferation - renewal of cells and collagen production are stimulated.
Microcurrent
In the 1830s, an Italian physician Dr Carlo Matteucci proved that injured tissues in the human body generate electricity. This led to further research over the years and microcurrent became an acceptable form of therapy for the treatment of wounds, soft tissue and bone fractures because of its ability to heal and restore energy that is lost in the tissues.
The use of microcurrent in the aesthetics field was discovered by accident in the 1980s by a US doctor when he achieved remarkable results while using microcurrent on a patient with Bells Palsy (generally a one-sided collapse of the musculature of the face).
The application of microcurrent which is weak, low frequency electrical stimulation at the cellular level in animal, plant and E.Coli has been shown to stimulate the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the molecular energy which is required for the proper functioning of each cell in the body.
This ability of microcurrent to stimulate ATP production was proven in a study¹ which indicated it could be increased by 300-500%. It also demonstrated microcurrent's ability to enhance amino acid transport and protein synthesis.
Now microcurrent is used in salon and clinic environments to assist in stimulating collagen production and visibly firming and tightening for an anti-ageing treatment.

Red LED Light
Since the late 1960s when Hungarian Endre Mester demonstrated the beneficial effects of monochromatic light for pain relief and tissue repair, many clinical benefits have been established for red light therapy.
Red LED light is a form of light therapy that generates a wider band of wavelength than red laser light but nevertheless delivers enough energy to stimulate a healing response.
LED's provide light to stimulate plant growth on the NASA Space Station. Reseachers discovered that LED's had many promising medical applications which prompted them to fund further research into reduction of pain, burns, inflammation and wound healing. "The near infrared light emitted by these LED's seems to be perfect for increasing energy inside cells."
"What most people are interested in is red light's ability to reverse ageing." It is clear that you can take people's skin and make them look young and more vibrant"
