Abstract:
A skin and muscle treatment apparatus and method employ one or more electrically-conductive rollers to deliver electrical current to, and thereby stimulate, the muscles underlying the skin. An onboard electrical circuit generates electrical current that is carried to one (or more) of the rollers through a conductive strip that is in electrical communication with the roller. Depending on the length of each roller and the pressure applied during use, the apparatus may also be used to provide a massaging effect. In addition, the apparatus may be used to deliver various ingredients, treatments, or medication to, into, or through the skin. The apparatus includes a main body portion, which may be tapered to serve as a handle, and an applicator or head portion that is configured to rotate with respect to the body portion. A resilient member, such as a spring, is provided to urge the applicator to its original position.
