Scalp treatment to combat seborrhoea, baldness, dandruff etc. - uses electrode skull cap to ionise scalp and improve penetration of ointment

摘要

A treatment compound such as an ointment is applied to the scalp. A principal electrode in the form of a conductive cap is fitted over the scalp and a secondary electrode is placed in contact with another area of the body. A current of the order of 8 to 15 mA is applied for a period, usually between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on the type of complaint and type of treatment compound. In this way the scalp area is ionised so that the compound penetrates into the scalp with greater effectiveness.
