I am not sure if this even belongs here but I have a rather silly question...

I was re-watching the movie Anger Management and was wondering.....
Did I see Jack Nicholson using a Violet Wand, for extension for hair treatment therapy? If so, a rather unique way for it to be used and if it was nott ehn it looked a lot like one.

Either way sorry for if this is in the wrong place, I was just curious.

yes you saw that...

Keep in mind that the 'voilet wand' is not an original design for BDSM play. Much like the tens unit, it was originally created as a medical device.

We kinky folk just found a whole new application for it!

quote:

(http://home.earthlink.net/~violetwands/history.html) violet ray devices are experiencing a resurgence in alternative medicine therapies. For example, currently you may find dermatologists using devices based on the same technology, in the treatment of acne and in stimulation of the scalp for hair loss. In modern times, the technologies of violet wands (specifically for kinky or erotic uses) and violet ray devices (specifically for cosmetological purpposes) have diverged somewhat. Violet ray devices used by aestheticians today, do not have near the output levels of violetwands as they have evolved.

Actually, that (and for chiropractic 'treatments") are why they are manufactured today.

They don't do any more good now than when they were being used by quack doctors in the late 1800s

Actually after my car accident the chiropractic tens treatments are one of the reasons that I can walk as well as I do now. While I did have a few instances of loose probes that were shocking and unpleasant, the electric stimulation helped to release painful knots in my muscles that were too painful for massage or anything more traditional. Even being drugged comatose didn't stop the constant pain of my body reacting to muscles and connective tissues being forced by momentum into positions that they didn't belong. My traditional doctors couldn't give me solutions better than drugs and with my job this just wasn't possible. I was forced by my pain to explore all kinds of non-traditional and alternative solutions. The tens helped me quite a bit...even if I become the only person you've met where this was the case. Strangly enough I'm not into electrical play even though I'm pro-tens.

Violet wands (the topic of the OP) and TENS units are quite different things. You're confusing apples and oranges

The device itself is called a Tesla coil, and I believe all of the ones manufactured in the USA today are originally made for detecting leaks in laboratory vacuum systems and electric discharge (neon) signs. See http://www.electrotechnicproduct.com/
The kinky vendors buy them from the manufacturer and repackage them with various acccessories. Perhaps other resellers do the same for cosmetician use. I don't know about European manufacturers.

But the old quack medical ones used to come with some amazing attachments. There were electrodes designed for treating gum disease, hemorrhoids, vaginal infections, earaches, vison problems, sinus infections, and just about anything else you can imagine. The one that looks like a rake was indeed designed for treating hair loss and dandruff. These old electrodes are now collectors items, and can be worth over $100 each for the rarer ones. Sadly they usually don't fit the newer transformers.
