Reacția electrochimica creeata de doua metale zinc (Z) şi cupru (C) într-un arc bimetal în contact cu electroliți dintr-un țesut muscular produce un curent electric stimulativ ce declanșează contracții musculare. English: Luigi Galvani discovered that frog's legs twitch when electricity is passed through the muscles, a phenomenon called galvanism that lead to the subject of electrophysiology and treatment by electrotherapy.
context_page_description: Cosmetic electrotherapy is a range of beauty treatments that uses low electric currents passed through the skin to produce several therapeutic effects such as muscle toning in the body and micro-lifting of the face. It is based on electrotherapy, which has been researched and accepted in the field of rehabilitation, though the "scientific and medical communities have tended to sideline or dismiss the use of electrotherapy for healthy muscles".
  The use of electricity in cosmetics goes back to the end of the 19th century, almost a hundred years after Luigi Galvani discovered that electricity can make the muscle in a frog's leg twitch. Subsequent research in electrophysiology has been carried out by people such as Robert O. Becker, Dr Björn Nordenström, a former chair of the Nobel Selection Committee for Medicine, and Dr Thomas Wing, who invented some of the first micro-current devices.
