The facial muscles are toned using an electrical stimulation method and an apparatus (10) for carrying out the method. The apparatus includes two probes (12) for engaging the skin surface and a mechanism for applying an AC signal of selected amplitude and waveform to the probes. The apparatus monitors the current amplitude and varies the voltage applied to the probes to maintain the current constant at the selected level. In use of the apparatus, a circulation phase is used at a selected amplitude and frequency to warm the muscles for subsequent toning at a higher frequency. After toning, the muscles are stabilized using a frequency greater than the toning frequency. Also disclosed is a method of applying collagen to the skin using the apparatus and a method of cleaning the skin, also using the apparatus. |
