Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for body toning which includes the reduction of total body fat content. The method includes squeezing a fatty area of an individual's body with an energized pair of electrodes or probes so as to pass an electrical signal through the fatty area which is sufficient to rupture or break down fat cells in the fatty area. The electrical signal is set so that it has a frequency preferably between 15 and 60 Hz and a current between about 2000 and 3600 micro amperes. The squeezing technique is preferably followed with a technique referred to as gliding. Gliding involves adjusting the energization of the probes so that they preferably generate a signal having a frequency of between about 125 and 600 Hz and a current of between about 1600 and 2400 microamps.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for growing hair on a subject's scalp are disclosed. The method includes pinching an area of a subject's scalp having hair bulbs for at least 2 seconds with a pair of electrodes. The electrodes are energized so that they pass a low voltage, low current and low frequency signal through the pinched area of the subject's scalp. The frequency of the signal is preferably less than about 6 Hz and the current thereof is preferably between about 50 and 800 microamps. The foregoing process is periodically repeated over several weeks, preferably months, to regrow or enhance the growth of hair on the treated area. The frequency and current of the signal are also preferably altered or varied each treatment for optimum results.
