Physics:V-EMF therapy

From HandWiki
Short description: Regenerative therapy based on electrostimulation

V-EMF therapy is a therapy that is based on the synergy between electromagnetic fields, vacuum and low-intensity electrostimulation. It is also known as Biodermogenesi. The electromagnetic field is generated with a variable frequency between 0.5 and 2 MHz.

Electromagnetic fields are able to promote the repair processes of skin lesions[1][2] with a reduction in healing time and scar size and with an increase in the re-epithelialization process.[3][4][5] They also promote the migration and subsequent stabilization of different cell types involved in the processes of regeneration, tissue engineering and wound care.[6]

The data in the literature show that the therapeutic application of electromagnetic fields allows to obtain satisfactory results in the regeneration of degenerated or traumatized or injured tissue[7][8][9] reaching the healing and regeneration of permanent lesions.[10][11][12] In addition, they have been shown to be useful in reducing fibrosis both in the treatment of cellulite[13] and in the treatment of fibrotic, hypertrophic and keloid scars.[14]

Similarly to electromagnetic fields, the application of vacuum, in this therapy adopted with negative pressure between 8 and 16 hundredths of Bar, has shown considerable effectiveness in reducing skin fibrosis due to cellulite and scarring.[15]

As for low-intensity electrostimulation, or electroporation, delivered at 5 VDC, it is able to increase skin nourishment.[16] The three forms of energy used simultaneously are the basis of V-EMF therapy, which has shown significant results in various fields of application. The therapeutic protocol has proven effective in the treatment of burn scars,[17][18] post-surgical trauma,[17][19] chemical burns,[20] stretch marks,[21][22][23][24] and in anti-aging therapy.[25]
