CUTANEOUS CONDUCTIVE VEIL FOR APPLYING CURRENTS TO A SUBJECT FOR A THERAPEUTIC OR AESTHETIC PURPOSE, AND APPARATUS USING SUCH A VEIL

摘要

The conductive veil, here in the form of a mask 1, is used for the application to the skin of the face of pulsed electric currents, delivered by the generator 9, and applied via conductive plates 4a, 4b to the ends of a elastic hoop 3. Mask 1 is formed by application of a polymerizable gel typically consisting by weight of 20% polyvinyl alcohol (Rhodoviol 30/70), 10% ethanol, 2% water-soluble lanolin and 1% glycerol. The gel remains conductive until complete polymerization, in about half an hour, which corresponds to the normal treatment time. Polymerized, the mask 1 is insulating and flexible, and can be removed in one piece.
