2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to maintain the living body of a human body, a living body current continuously flows to perform a cell activity. A beauty device using a current impulse has already been applied by the present applicant by winding a plurality of conductive belts around a body part and supplying a voltage pulse having a predetermined period and a predetermined crest value along the flow of a biocurrent between the conductive belts. By doing so, a method for enhancing the cosmetic effect by activating body cells, particularly by stimulating the lymphatic system, is proposed. (JP-A-1-123565) This method enhances the effect on the entire body, and was not expected as a cosmetic treatment by a local current impulse. Furthermore, as a cosmetic treatment by this local stimulation, a plurality of child electrodes attached along the flow of lymph fluid are provided at a plurality of locations on the parent electrode and the body, and the parent electrode and a plurality of child electrodes are sequentially arranged in a predetermined cycle. Has proposed a method of stimulating the lymphatic system and activating body cells by supplying a voltage pulse with a predetermined peak value. In this case, muscle contraction can be performed in a state where the current value entering the body is low, and the cosmetic effect can be improved, but when a voltage pulse of a predetermined peak value is simultaneously supplied between the parent electrode and each child electrode, The body impedance varies depending on the distance from the parent electrode, and the child electrodes farther away from the child electrode closer to the parent electrode have higher body impedance and the effect of current impulse decreases, which can improve the cosmetic effect over a wide range. could not.

With the above-described structure, a switching circuit including a photocoupler sequentially supplies a predetermined voltage pulse to corresponding child electrodes in a time-division manner, thereby providing a plurality of sets of parent electrodes. By supplying voltage pulses evenly to the electrode pairs of the child electrodes, the current impulses entering the body are kept uniform without being concentrated on the child electrodes close to the parent electrode, and a uniform beauty treatment is performed over a wide range. The effect can be improved.
