Abstract

A body treatment product (10) suitable for home or salon use and which allows the user to pursue other activities during its use is provided. The product (10) applies electrical pulses to the skin for toning and massaging the muscles, especially the facial muscles. The product (10) has one or more body contactors (15) operable to apply electrical pulses to the body of a person being treated and a control unit (20) operable to control the characteristics of the electrical pulses. The product (10) includes a body unit (11) adapted to be worn on the person and which supports the body contactor(s) (15) through adjustable links (14). For facial massage the body unit (11) has a headband (12), which incorporates ear pads (13) so that the wearer may listen to instructions or music played on an audio system (40) whilst being massaged.
