Creams, lotions, injections, and...magnets? While magnets are not the first option that comes to mind for looking younger, the results they're providing are attracting attention from both the public and the media.

Yesterday, CBS News medical reporter Dr. Holly Phillips explored the use of magnetic therapy for anti-aging facial treatments. She interviewed Mica Hughes, a leading aesthetician in Manhattan. Hughes offers her spa clients a new magnetic facial treatment. Using face creams and neodymium magnets, it works to reduce wrinkles and age lines around the eyes and forehead.

The treatment is both safe and non-invasive - meaning no needles or injections. One of her clients, Emily, described it as very relaxing. After just 3 treatments, her results were easily noticeable in before-and-after photos (shown by CBS).

Magnets are not limited to wrinkles or spa treatments though. They're becoming a hot topic when it comes to relaxation and rejuvenation. For example, wearing a magnetic eye mask can help relieve eye puffiness and maintain results after a spa facial treatment. Sleeping on a magnetic pillow can soothe headaches and sinus congestion. And magnetic shoulder wraps help relax tense muscles.

What makes medical magnets so effective is their ability to improve blood circulation. Studies from both the U.S. and Japan have proven strong magnets are able to relax capillary walls, increasing blood flow. This supplies more nutrients for healthier cells, and more oxygen to muscles - relieving stress and tension.

The greatest advantages offered by magnetic therapy are that it's safe and can be enjoyed at home. And while you might have to buy another jar of wrinkle cream after a few weeks, magnets are re-useable.

If you're looking for a new way to help restore more youthful skin, or just to relax, consider wearing a Therion magnetic eye mask to sleep each night. With soft comfort and 28 neodymium magnets around the forehead, eyes and cheeks, it's one of the easiest ways to try magnetic therapy for yourself.
