COMMON SKIN PROBLEMS:
DRYNESS AND WRINKLES
INTERVIEW WITH P.S.
by M. McGuire
MM This is November 20, 1993, and this interview is with P.S., a female Caucasian, 58 years
old. The subject is single and has an active career of 12 years in commercial and residential landscaping.
The subject is tall, slender, attractive and appears to be phisically fit.
MM
When did you begin treatment
PS I started in May of 1993. I have a busy schedule, but I've been receiving treatments at least twice a
month.
MM You appear to be healthy and in shape. What was your purposein seekimg treatment with
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields
PS I have severe skin dryness, to the point that it was constantly irritated and peeling. Also, I had
deep wrinkles, particularly lines running from the corners of my nose to my outer lip and severe crow's
feet around my eyes. I mean, those lines were deep. They were like imbedded indentations in my face.
MM
Can you describe the history of this skin condition
PS Oh, years and years of being sunburned and peeling, like everybody else in Southern California.:
Overexposure.
My career as a landscape arcitect, is a lifestyle of constant outside ultraviolet exposure. When I
was younger I did 5km running on the beach.
MM
What was your biggest complaint about your skin condition
PS Facial aging, that's easy.
MM
What other treatments had you tried
PS Oh, various topical treatments. I had jars and jars of creams. Nothing was available to work
internally, so I just kept switching ointments. This was not a focused method of treatment. I had a
complete lack of faith, and the results weren't there.
MM
Describe your first treatment with Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PAP IMI Device).
PS Well, it was simple. I held the insulated wand up in front of my face, about a foot away, for 15
minutes. Then I held it again in frond of my abdominal area.
MM
Were you aware of any changes following this therapy
PS Yes, it was internal, which was the nice thing. Within a few hours I felt very relaxed all over. I'm
under a lot of pressure all day with my work, so the stress takes a toll. And my face was glowing! It was
like the blood circulation had resumed and my face felt relaxed.
MM
Did you follow up this treatment
PS Yes. We decided to do "before and after photos" as a part of the regimen.
MM
Can you describe any apparent change in the actual nature of the dry skin condition itself
PS The texture of my skin is different. The wrinkles are fewer and they're not as deep.
