A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device (10) and method using a microcurrent with a carrier signal and a square wave form for promoting cell repair and/or healing. It has been found that applying particular wave forms of direct current with a carrier wave signal with specified intervals promot es cell healing especially in treatment of macular degeneration. This electrica l nerve stimulation device (10) is packaged to require no input from a user an d a user must only apply the electrodes (22, 22A) to the correct part of the body and start the preprogrammed sequence of electrical currents. The method involves applying bursts of direct current at higher frequencies for shorter periods of time followed by lower frequency bursts of electrical current for longer periods of time.
