Skin, Joints and Muscles

Millions of people worldwide suffer from skin disorders and chronic pain in muscles and joints. The ZMedicAir topical device helps relieve eczema, acne, skin allergies, inflamed joints and sore muscles through a unique singlet oxygen technology.

Skin Infections and Allergens Hiding in Thin Air

Skin Infections and Allergens Hiding in Thin Air

Studies have shown that many skin infections and allergies are caused by microbes or pollutants in the air. For instance, eczema (atopic dermatitis), a chronic skin disease that causes inflammation, redness, and irritation, is often triggered by bacteria build-up on the skin. It’s the same story with acne, an inflammatory skin disorder where skin pores get clogged (often by fine particulate matter or bacteria) to form pimples.

And where do these harmful particles and bacteria come from? They hide in polluted indoor air. Low-quality indoor air harbours disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and fungi—not to mention allergens such as chemical fumes, pollen, and volatile organic compounds that cause rashes, pimples, lesions, and itching when in contact with the skin.

Acne and Eczema Treatment

Skin conditions such as acne and eczema are treated using ointments, anti-inflammatory drugs, and, in some cases, antibiotics. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), a more aggressive treatment, may be administered to get rid of pimples and lesions. However, PDT is invasive, painful, and may cause adverse side effects.

Sore Joints and Muscles

Muscles and joints sometimes develop a persistent dull pain. The pain may be caused by an underlying infection or injury. But generally, musculoskeletal aches are a result of inflammation.

Inflammation is a natural response to certain immune actions. Studies have also shown that hypoxia, a state of low oxygen concentration, can cause or worsen inflammation, leading to body aches and fatigue. Additionally, poor-quality air is sometimes responsible for autoimmune disorders such as arthritis.

Sore Joints and Muscles

Chronic Pain Treatment

Conventionally, sore joints and muscles are treated with prescription medications, including painkillers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammation drugs. Unfortunately, many of these drugs have nasty side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues and mood swings. Also, pain medications can create an unhealthy dependency akin to addiction.

Besides drugs, some cases of chronic aches are treated with physical and rehabilitation therapies. However, therapy sessions can take months, and this type of treatment is limited to musculoskeletal injuries.

Singlet Oxygen for Healthy Skin and Pain Relief

Singlet Oxygen for Healthy Skin and Pain Relief

The Singlet Oxygen Topical Handheld Device produces mild singlet oxygen-enriched air using a patent-protected metal honeycomb. It’s a compact, handheld therapeutic device that helps relieve muscle and joint pain and alleviate skin conditions such as eczema, acne, itchy skin, dry skin, and flaky scalp. It also doubles as a hair dryer for silky, smooth, healthy hair.

Studies have shown that singlet oxygen, a more active form of oxygen, helps reduce pain-causing inflammation in muscles and joints. Singlet oxygen also quickly reverts to ground-state oxygen, raising oxygen levels in tissues, which improves metabolism and combats fatigue and pain.

In low concentrations, singlet oxygen is a powerful antiseptic. It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi on the skin, reducing the likelihood and severity of skin infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will an air purifier help with acne?

An air purifier can indeed help with acne. One of the causes of acne is bacteria and gunk build-up on the skin, clogging skin pores. An air purifier eliminates this problem by sterilizing the air and filtering out airborne particulate matter.

 

ZMedicAir’s topical device enriches the air with singlet oxygen, which helps kill disease-causing pathogens while also boosting your skin’s natural repair mechanisms.

Does an air purifier help skin problems?

Several studies have shown a strong correlation between poor-quality air and the prevalence of various skin problems such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and hyperpigmentation. An air purifier improves indoor air quality by removing the microbes, toxins, allergens, and irritants that cause or exacerbate skin problems.

 

ZMedicAir devices go a step further by producing singlet oxygen, which has shown to improve skin conditions such as dry skin, itching, eczema, and acne by promoting the production of new skin cells.

Do air purifiers help with skin allergies?

Yes, you can have an air purifier for skin allergies. Skin allergies such as contact dermatitis, eczema, and hives are commonly triggered by pollutants in the air. Air purifiers get rid of aerial allergens, creating an allergy-free atmosphere.

 

ZMedicAir devices actively fight allergies by producing low amounts of singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen helps reduce the inflammation and ensuing tissue damage caused by allergic reactions.

Do air purifiers help with eczema?

You can run an air purifier for eczema relief. Air purifiers filter and sterilize the air, removing the bacteria and pollutants responsible for eczema flare-ups.

 

The ZMedicAir Singlet Oxygen Topical Handheld Device goes on to relieve eczema symptoms by releasing trace amounts of singlet oxygen molecules that actively help suppress skin inflammation and allergic reactions.

Does an air purifier really help with joint inflammation?

While in some instances low oxygen concentrations have been correlated to inflammation, regular air purifiers do not help with joint pain and inflammation. 

 

That’s why ZMedicAir is different! It produces singlet oxygen, which can help limit the exposure to internal free radicals produced during inflammation, leading to less tissue damage and boosted immune response.

Do air purifiers help with muscle aches and recovery?

Generally, muscle aches and fatigue are caused by inflammation as a result of activity or injury – and while low oxygen levels can worsen the situation, air purifiers do not generate more oxygen.

 

ZMedicAir’s Topical Handheld Device produces singlet oxygen, a more reactive form of oxygen, from the surrounding air. Singlet oxygen has been shown to boost your body’s oxygen utilization in muscles and tissues for faster recovery. The heat setting can also provide additional pain and inflammation relief.
