A device for iontophoresis includes an electric source (2), a pulse generator (3), a working electrode (4), and a counter electrode (5). This device has a means (7) for discharging the charges accumulated in the electrodes (4, 5) during each intermission period of therapeutic pulses generated by the pulse generator (3) (i.e., a means for effecting the depolarization between the above-mentioned both electrodes during each intermission period of therapeutic pulses). n This device can be directly and very easily applied to the human body (6), without causing undesirable irritation in the skin, especially without causing burns and rubefaction in the skin. |
