Abstract

A facial contact electrode assembly for use in electrotherapy. A galvanic current is applied to acupuncture points of a human face by adjustable electrodes. A screw head on the distal end of the electrode comes into contact with the face of a user. The screw head is rotateably adjustable whereby rotation of the screw in a first direction causes advancement of the screw head towards the user's face and counterrotation causes retraction of the screw head. Therefore, when employing an array of electrodes for electrotherapy of the face, each individual electrode can be lengthened or shortened to adjust to the individual characteristics of the user's face. Further adjustment is automatically achieved by each electrode using a resilient conductive spring enclosed within the housing of each electrode. The spring biases the electrode against the face of the user while carrying the galvanic current from an electrical power source to the screw head.
