ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a single-use electroconducting cast forming cutaneous electrode for applying on the human body electric currents for therapeutic or aesthetic treatment, and to a method using same. The cast, such as a mask, is composed of a powder capable of setting with water, such as a plaster as used in dentistry, and of a salt, such as calcium chloride dissolved in the water for setting. Metallic contacts are embedded in the cast for connection to the generator generating current for treatment. A conventional counter-electrode is provided for the return of the current to the generator. The mixture of powder and water for setting which may contain, in addition to the salt, adjuvants such as polyalcohols, protein-containing surface-tension agent and vitamins, is placed in position before the setting begins, and the current for treatment is applied after the beginning of setting. After the setting is complete and the treatment is terminated, the cast is removed and discarded.
