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.

This disclosure describes an device for dispensing an acupuncture needle. The device comprises a thrust, a coupling mechanism coupled to the thrust, a biasing mechanism adapted to bias the thrust towards an initial position, a housing, and a conduit. The housing comprises a first cavity portion adapted to receive the thrust, the coupling mechanism and the biasing mechanism, and a second cavity portion in fluid communication with the first cavity portion. The second cavity portion has a smaller cross-sectional area than the first cavity portion, and the thrust is received in the first cavity portion. The conduit is adapted to guide an acupuncture needle toward the coupling mechanism disposed within the housing. This disclosure further describes a method of using said device for inserting an acupuncture needle into the dermis of a subject.

Devices and methods for generating and applying stimulated acupuncture needles to one or more acupuncture points on a body of an individual suffering from one or more ailments using magnetic fields. The acupuncture device is configured for generating magnetic fields to stimulate acupuncture without using human manual manipulation. The acupuncture device may comprise a control unit and one or more acupuncture needle stimulation units. Each one or more acupuncture needle stimulation unit is functionally connected to the control unit by a cable or lead. The control unit may include a variable frequency generator configured to deliver various power levels, direct voltages, or a combination of various power levels and direct voltages to the acupuncture needle stimulation units, alone or in combination with other stimuli.

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.

An auricular acupuncture patch to which an energy and blood stimulating part is attached is disclosed. The auricular acupuncture patch according to the present invention is attached along the reflect point of the ear, thereby being effective for treating dizziness, headaches, gastritis, asthma, gastroduodenal ulcers, enteritis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bowel dysfunction, menstrual irregularity, insomnia, migraines, phobias, nervous vomiting, high fever, skin pruritus, oligogalactia, indigestion, obesity, smoking, and the like, and enabling the replacement of a decorative part, which are formed on the auricular acupuncture patch having the energy and blood stimulating part attached thereto, so as to provide various aesthetic effectiveness and conveniences in replacement.

A needle warming system includes: a heating tube for heating acupuncture needles; a ring-shaped rechargeable battery for supplying power to the heating tube, and a empty space for fixing the heating tube for charging The battery accepts the charging of the wireless charging unit in a wireless charging mode; a display unit is used to display the working status and charging status of the needle warming system; the control unit is used to control the temperature of the heating tube, and the charging of the rechargeable battery, and display unit. The wireless rechargeable battery avoids the external power supply and the traditional power wiring obstacles; the creation of empty space in the center with ring-shaped rechargeable batteries and heating pads, medicine pads, etc., allows acupuncture needles to enter the heating tube, which is convenient for the implementation of acupuncture warming needles technique. Moreover, the whole needle warming system is compact, small and portable.

A method for improving blood flow of the cerebral cortex is provided in the present invention. The method for improving blood flow of the cerebral cortex includes the following steps: stimulating a predetermined site of a subject in need thereof to improve blood flow of the cerebral cortex of the subject in need thereof, wherein the predetermined site is Shousanli (LI10) acupoint.

An acumoxa therapy device utilizes energy waves for preventing, alleviating or treating COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) coronavirus infection. In one embodiment, the device delivers energy in a non-invasive manner. In one embodiment, the device is configured to include an energy pin and one or more energy rings. In one embodiment, the device delivers sufficient energy to certain body parts such as acupoints to achieve an intervening and/or therapeutic effect. In one embodiment, the device maintains or improves general health, or alleviates or treats a subject with COVID-19 infection and one or more other conditions.

An acupuncture set for double-blind tests includes a support member whose one surface is in contact with skin of a subject and in which a through hole is formed in a vertical direction, a filling member coupled in a through hole of the support member and provided in a pipe shape with one side shielded, a hollow guide member, wherein a portion of a lower part of the hollow guide member is combined to a through hole of the support member and first guide protrusions protrude from an inside of the hollow guide member, and a moving member configured to move in a vertical direction within the guide member in a state of being combined with a needle body.

Semiconductor electroacupuncture needles are disclosed, as well methods of making and using the semiconductor electroacupuncture needles. A controller for controlling the characteristics of the voltage applied to the needles and/or the current flowing through the needles is described. In some embodiments, a portion of the electro acupuncture needle is insulated to control the position below the skin at which the current enters the patient. In some embodiments, an LED on the needle lights when current above a threshold value is passing through the needle and into the patient.
