ABSTRACT:
The present method is a method for reducing an oxidized skin tissue comprising the steps of bringing a source of negative high-voltage pulses of which duty ratio is controllable into the proximity of the oxidized skin tissue and applying negative high-voltage pulses to the oxidized skin tissue so that the oxidized skin tissue is reduced by an electron addition reaction. A high-voltage generating circuit which is incorporated in a main body generates negative high-voltage pulses. Those negative high-voltage pulses are applied to the skin through a contact element which is connected to the main body, so that the oxidized skin tissue is reduced by the electron addition reaction. Further, the present apparatus is an apparatus to reduce a skin tissue, comprising a high-voltage pulse generating means to generate negative high-voltage pulses, and a contact element which is connected to the high-voltage pulse generating means and applies negative high-voltage pulses generated by the high-voltage pulse generating means to the skin when it is brought close to or in contact with a surface of the skin, whereby an oxidized skin tissue is reduced by the electron addition reaction.
