Patent ID: 8417347

Claim:
A method of toning the muscles and tissues of the human face comprising: selecting muscles of the human face, stimulating specific motor nerves to cause contraction of the selected muscles of the human face using a pair of electrodes connected to a source of predetermined galvanic current, operable at a plurality of multiple user selected microcurrent power levels and frequencies, selecting a first specific combination of a microcurrent power level and a frequency for stimulating the selected muscles, energizing the electrodes, pressing the pair of electrodes against the skin of the human face at two preselected positions adjacent the selected muscles and while pressed against the skin, moving a first electrode in a first programmed pattern while either holding the second electrode in position or moving a second electrode in a second programmed pattern adjacent to the selected muscles, such that the first selected microcurrent and frequency pass into the selected muscles to stimulate the muscle and tissue located between the pair of electrodes, and, repeating the pressing and moving of the pair of electrodes using a second selected microcurrent power level and frequency, and optionally, repeating the pressing and moving again using a third selected microcurrent power level and frequency, the repeating and moving of the electrodes at the selected plurality of microcurrent and frequency combinations variably stimulating the muscle and tissue located between the pair of electrodes for promoting toning of the selected muscle.
