Abstract
A skin-contact type therapeutic apparatus has a pair of electrodes which are put in contact with skin at different areas at the same time and a voltage pulse train generator circuit connected to the pair of electrodes. The voltage pulse generator circuit generates a unipolar voltage pulse train having a pulse width of 100 .mu.s to 10 ms, a duty ratio of 50% or smaller, a frequency of 20 to 800 Hz, and a peak voltage of 0.05 to 20 V. By pressing the pair of electrodes against skin and applying such a unipolar voltage pulse train, it is possible to treat the skin to resolve allergic dermatitides and/or enhance metabolism by suppressing allergic reactions, and to regenerate skin in a short time without using medicine.
