Paula,
I have the Master and Marvel antique Violet Ray machines as well as the Chinese
facial/costmetic one.
The Chinese machine as well as its electrodes are far weaker than the antique
ones. It is only good for cosmetic use.
The antique machines purchased from ebay have helped me with getting rid of
inflammations, eye pressure, burning- numb feeling on my thigh and pinky toe.
I also used it for toothaches, tonsilitis, sinusitis, tongue, spine, etc., with
all the proper electrodes. Each electrode is different from the other when it
comes to deliver the frequency-electricty. The condenser electrode i believe
delivers most punch specially when pulsing up and down the skin, the farther
away from the skin the sharper the frequency. When i run the electrodes on my
husband and accidentally touch some part of his body by accident, i feel a
sharp electric as well. I find the antique ones more desireable for treatment.
As an example on the difference of the two. The highest setting of the Chinese
is only the low-medium setting of the antique ones.
Take precaution when using the machine. Not in bathrooms, due to grounds, and
i never use it when there is any water near me, not even a cup, since an
accident might electrocute me.
