Elektroterapi (kosmetik)

Elektroterapi kosmetik adalah serangkaian perawatan kecantikan yang meakai arus listrik yang dipasangkan melalui kulit untuk menghasilkan sejumlah efek terapi.^[2] Pemakaian kelistrikan dalam kosmetik telah ada sejak akhir abad ke-19,^[3]^[4] nyaris setahun setelah Luigi Galvani menemukan bahwa listrik dapat membuat otot pada kaki katak bergerak^[5] (lihat galvanisme). Riset berikutnya dalam elektrofisiologi dilakukan oleh orang-orang seperti Robert O. Becker, Dr Björn Nordenström,^[6] bekas ketua Komite Pemilihan Nobel untuk Kedokteran, dan Dr Thomas Wing,^[7]^[8] yang menciptakan beberapa perangkat arus mikro pertama.

Eletroda "Galvanisme" menyentuh seekor katak, dan kakinya bergerak naik-turun^[1]
