Embodiments of medical treatment including skin treatment using electrical energy, especially with the primary purpose for skin treatment for aesthetics are described generally herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

The present invention is directed to a massage chair having a massage chair frame, a massage system, and a noise-reducing, enclosure device. The frame includes a first end, a second end, a seat body area portion, and a back body area portion. The massage system includes at least one air massage element, an air pump, and at least one air valve device for regulating air flow into and out of the air massage element. The enclosure device includes an enclosure housing and noise-reducing material positioned inside the housing. The housing encloses the air pump and air valve device(s) during operation such that noise generated from or made by the air pump and air valve device(s) during operation is reduced, contained or eliminated. The present invention may include additional features: armrest sliding, shoulder airbag sliding, media player holder, virtual reality player, wireless charger, hammering devices, heating acupuncture devices, and oxygen generator.

A method of treating osteoarthritis in a knee includes generating, by an implantable stimulator configured to be implanted beneath a skin surface of a patient, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05, and applying, by the implantable stimulator in accordance with the duty cycle, the stimulation sessions to a location that includes at least one of an acupoint labeled ST35, an acupoint labeled EX-LE-4, and a location on a line that intersects the acupoints labeled ST35 and EX-LE-4. The duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4. Each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes. The implantable stimulator is powered by a primary battery located within the implantable stimulator and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms.

A neck-hanging massaging device includes an elastic arm, a first handle, a second handle, an electrode assembly and an electric pulse generating device. The first handle and the second handle are fixedly connected to the two sides of the elastic arm. The electrode assembly is arranged on the elastic arm. The electric pulse generating device is electrically connected with the electrode assembly. The electric pulse generating device is arranged in the first handle.

A handheld system of automatic acupoint stimulation has a case, a camera unit, a storage unit, a human-machine-interface (HMI) unit, a processing unit, an acupoint recognizing unit, and an acupoint stimulating unit. The case has an accommodating space and a handle portion. The camera unit is to capture an image from a body part of a user. The storage unit is to store multiple predetermined acupoint data. The HMI unit is to receive an input signal. The processing unit searches for at least one predetermined acupoint datum that is corresponding to the input signal. The acupoint recognizing unit is to receive the at least one predetermined acupoint datum and obtain a reference length and a beginning basis to locate the acupoint. The acupoint stimulating unit is to stimulate the acupoint of the user located by the acupoint recognizing unit.

The shoulder stiffness, the muscle fatigue, etc., are easily and efficiently improved by the electromagnetic waves without the usage of the power supplies and the large treatment tools. The electromagnetic-wave treatment device 10 has an antenna acupuncture needle 13 and a fixing member 12. The antenna acupuncture needle 13 has a sharp end portion 13a having one end portion formed into a needle shape. The fixing member is fixed to the antenna acupuncture needle 13. This antenna acupuncture needle 13 is fixed so that the sharp end portion 13a of the antenna acupuncture needle 13 protrudes from the fixing member 12. And, the antenna acupuncture needle 13 functions as an antenna receiving the electromagnetic waves in a space.
