The Swiss manufacturer says a new £179 device that sends a magnetic pulse to the skin could make anti-wrinkle face creams five times more effective.
The waves emitted by the wearable kit called Boost “push” ingredients deeper into the skin.
“Boost technology can make a £50 cream as effective as a £500 treatment,” said Paul Peros, CEO of device manufacturer Reduit.
The company’s Swiss maker said a new £179 device could make a £50 face cream as effective as a £500 product.
Doctors hope the new device will help suffer patients and even stimulate bone growth.
Doctors say the kit may also have significant medical benefits and can be used for pain relief and bone growth.
Boost uses a form of energy called diamagnetic waves – low-level magnetic pulses that can move water molecules and other compounds used in skin cream.
Reduit says this energy forces these ingredients through the skin’s outer layer, called the epidermis, increasing the long-term effects of the product.
The epidermis is designed to keep foreign bodies such as water out of the body, and this is why some dermatologists have long argued that many skin care products do not have a significant effect on the body because they cannot pass through this layer of skin.
However, Peros believes Boost will “revolutionize” the space. Users apply their product as normal, but instead of spreading the cream with their fingers, they use Boost, which buzzes into the skin for 30 seconds with the push of a button.
Reduit says the technology is backed by human studies published in the 1990s that showed women using an early form of Boost absorb up to five times more ingredients in their daily skin cream than when using fingers.
But dermatologist Dr Alia Ahmed said: “The epidermis is a very effective protective layer, so if a product contains ingredients made up of large molecules, they are less likely to pass through.
“This technology can ‘push’ these ingredients into the skin, but that doesn’t mean the molecules will necessarily pass through unless they are broken down in some way.”
However, Dr. Ahmed says studies have shown that diamagnetic devices can help with a range of health problems by targeting drugs to hard-to-reach tissues.
“Studies have shown that this type of technology can help heal painful conditions like knee osteoarthritis,” he says.
