Negative Ion Therapy: The Positive Effects of Negative Ions

Negative ions – effective help for skin aging and problem skin

Healthy, youthfully fresh skin and fewer wrinkles. You encounter this desire daily in your salon. People with problem skin such as acne, psoriasis, or scars also turn to you with their skin issues. You can help these people effectively with oxygen therapy. What exactly is oxygen or plasma therapy, and what is its effect?

Negatively ionized oxygen (plasma) stimulates cellular metabolism and can delay skin aging. Color light therapy activates collagen production, strengthens connective tissue, and improves regeneration and skin texture. It also calms the nerves and strengthens the immune system. This is not entirely insignificant during the cold and low-light months.

Einstein already described the principle of negative ions

In the 1920s of the last century, Albert Einstein praised the electricity in the air in the mountains of Davos. And he suggested that man is indeed an electrical being. All metabolic processes are based on the exchange of positively and negatively charged electrical particles. And in Davos there are simply more of these electrical particles, which we absorb with the air we breathe, than elsewhere. That alone is beneficial for our physical and mental vitality.

This approach was then further elaborated in quantum physics-oriented medicine. We find it again in balneology, spa medicine, and so-called aeroion therapy. And for a few years now, this approach has also existed in cosmetics. For example, negative ion therapy works wonders in curative facial care and anti-aging.

What is negative ion therapy?

Negative ion therapy or plasma therapy is an alternative health and beauty treatment with an amazing effect. It is based on the idea that our body needs high-quality oxygen. Skin experts agree on this: The most important reason for aging – and especially skin aging – is a lack of oxygen. What matters here is not just the amount of oxygen, but above all its quality. This refers to the energetic quality of the oxygen.

Every oxygen molecule is surrounded by electrical particles—ions. Among these are positive and negative ions. Both have different effects on the human organism. If there are more positive than negative ions, they develop into free oxygen radicals and attack the cells. Although the body has defense systems to combat these radicals, if there are too many positive ions, the immune system is damaged. The degeneration of the human body and the aging process begin. The skin is particularly affected by this. Positive ions contribute to the aging process, while negative ions slow it down.

The high-quality devices in MTR Equipments' product range—such as the PLT hood or the MCS Multi-Biohacking System—counteract this. They supply the clients' skin with vitalizing negative ions.

Positive and negative ions exist naturally in the air

For life, we need positive and negative ions. Both interact with each other and thereby generate life energy. It becomes problematic when the ratio of negative and positive ions is no longer correct! An excess of positive ions is harmful in this process.

Positive ions (cations), together with free radicals, cause oxidation of the cells and thus increase the acidity of the blood. In doing so, they weaken the nervous and immune systems and accelerate aging. An excess of positive ions in the human body leads to fatigue, depression, irritability, and high blood pressure, among other things.

Negative ions (anions) occur in particularly high concentrations in forests, near waterfalls, and after a thunderstorm. They support the immune system and the renewal of skin cells by reducing free radicals. Negative ions also neutralize positive ions. They contribute to higher performance and good mood, and delay the aging process. Furthermore, they reduce microbes, neutralize odors, and can agglomerate dust.

Why is the concentration of positive ions in the environment so high?

In a healthy environment, the ratio of positive and negative ions is roughly equal. Due to our modern lifestyle, environmental pollution, and the electrosmog of modern technology, this ratio is seriously disrupted. A healthy amount of negative ions is 1,000 per cubic centimeter, while an optimal value would be 2,000 per cubic centimeter. In fact, values of less than 100 per cubic centimeter are measured in inner-city apartments! In offices with PCs and copiers, the value is even lower.

Positive ions are generated by electronic devices such as cell phones, PCs, printers, and copiers. They are produced by smog and exhaust fumes, fluorescent tubes, and air conditioning systems. Pesticides and food additives also lead to an excess of positive ions. In addition, buildings dissipate negative ions. No wonder, then, that you feel tired and exhausted after a long day in the office or in the city. The skin looks old, grey, and wrinkled! Here, you can work wonders with the PLT anti-aging hood from the MTR – Health & Spa AG product range by supplying clients' skin with invigorating negative ions. Medical wellness is more popular today than ever before!

Why does negative ion therapy slow down the aging process?

Oxygen molecules enriched with negative ions neutralize positive ions generated by radiation or environmental toxins. These negatively charged ions have a positive effect on health and well-being and also slow down the aging process. Positive ions, together with free radicals, cause oxidation of cells throughout the body. They increase the acidity of the blood, and the immune and nervous systems are weakened—which leads to premature aging.

Negative ions enter the body through the air we breathe, but are also absorbed through the skin. They improve the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue, and have a positive effect on skin rejuvenation and cell division. They are therefore among the popular beauty treatments. They also improve skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne, burns, and hives. Negative ions neutralize acids in the interstitium, thereby promoting collagen synthesis. They also have a positive effect on the nervous system: serotonin levels rise, while hyperactivity, stress, and exhaustion fade away. Negative ions improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure, and promote blood purification. The elimination of toxins and a strong immune system have a positive effect on general well-being and appearance.

Dermionology® – the «more» in natural anti-aging and revitalization

Supplying the body with a sufficient amount of negative ions can happen naturally, such as during a walk in the woods, in the mountains, by a river, or by the sea. However, it also works technically through negative ion therapy from the MTR program. While there are 2,500 negative ions in the air in a forest, a negative ion device can quickly and conveniently supply the body with up to 5 million negative ions per cubic centimeter and more.
With the PLT hood or the MCS Multi-Biohacking System, you have innovative methods at your disposal that can slow down skin aging and degeneration.

How plasma therapy with color light treatment works

The medical beauty devices in the MTR range generate negative ions almost exclusively from ambient air using a generator. The ion-enriched air is inhaled through breathing or absorbed by the skin. The treatment is therefore carried out without an oxygen cylinder and does not require any special training. If negative ion therapy is combined with photobiomodulation, the effect can be further enhanced because the two therapies trigger each other.

PLT Cap – Plasma & Color Light for Skin Health

The PLT hood is a negative ion therapy that supplies the face, the respiratory tract, and the entire organism with high-quality oxygen ions—and thus vital energy—via a Plexiglas hood. The accompanying color light treatment further enhances the positive effects. The skin appears noticeably younger, problem skin normalizes, and skin health increases. The whole person feels more vital, full of energy, and the metabolism throughout the entire organism is stimulated. In addition, the immune system is strengthened, which brings another positive effect given the winter months when people are not outside in the fresh air as often and pampered by the sun.

MCS – Multi-Biohacking-System

This state-of-the-art full-body biohacking chamber combines deep heat (FIR), ionized oxygen, and photobiomodulation (PBM) in a single treatment session. A modern stereo sound system also enables neurostimulation with special audio effects. A sophisticated air exchange system with a thermal effect always guarantees hygienically clean and fresh air inside the cabin. The added benefit of this full-body cabin: treatments take only 8 minutes.
Optional aromatherapy, with up to three scents in a single session, ensures unique treatment experiences with unparalleled results that primarily impact mental well-being.
