Abstract
A process for the stimulation of production of extracellular dermal matrix proteins in human tissue through the simultaneous delivery of ultrasound and electrical energy thereto. In another aspect, a wound is purposefully created in the dermal layer of the skin to stimulate natural healing processes to be followed by delivery of ultrasound and electrical energy to further advance the production of extracellular dermal proteins.
Claims25
A process for the stimulation of production of extracellular dermal matrix proteins in human tissue which comprises simultaneously delivering to said tissue ultrasound and electrical energy in an amount sufficient for the stimulation of production of extracellular dermal matrix proteins in human tissue;
- wherein a current of said electrical energy is about 100 microamps;
- and
- wherein said ultrasound is provided at a frequency in a range of about 1 to about 4 megahertz.
A process for the stimulation of the natural healing processes in human skin tissue which comprises creating a wound in the dermal layer of said skin tissue and thereafter simultaneously delivering to said skin tissue ultrasound and electrical energy in an amount sufficient to stimulate natural healing processes in said skin tissue;
- wherein a current of said electrical energy is about 100 microamps;
- and
- wherein said ultrasound is provided at a frequency in a range of about 1 to about 4 megahertz.
