Cosmetic iontophoresis system

A cosmetic iontophoretic face mask for driving a cosmetic agent into skin of a patient's face located adjacent to the face mask, the cosmetic ionotophoretic face mask comprising:

• (a) an active electrode including
• a flexible biocompatible substrate having a therapeutic face configured for disposition toward the skin of the patient's face,
• an exterior periphery shaped to facilitate conformance of said substrate to said patient's skin over an intended treatment region,
• a flexible conductive layer disposed on said therapeutic face,
• a driving face located on a distal side of said conductive layer opposite from said substrate and opposite from the patient's skin when said mask is in use,
• an electrically conductive adhesive matrix affixed to said driving face, said electrically conductive matrix being capable of repeatedly releasably securing said active electrode to said patient's skin,
• a cosmetic agent disposed on said substrate to be driving into said patient's skin by iontophoresis, said cosmetic agent having ionic properties so that it may be migrated into the patient's skin by iontophoresis,
• a release liner located on said substrate,
• at least one aperture formed through said substrate, said aperture being defined by a continuous interior periphery of said substrate, said interior periphery that defines said aperture being shaped to facilitate the conformance of said therapeutic face of said substrate to the patient's face,
• (b) a return electrode for completing an electrical circuit with said active electrode, said patient's skin and said conductive layer of said face mask,
• (c) a release liner adjacent said return electrode,
• (d) a power source for electrically powering said face mask to iontophoretically deliver said cosmetic agent from said adhesive matrix to said patient's skin by use of
• an electromotive force through electrical connection and power of said active electrode, said return electrode and said conductive layer,
• (e) an active skin contact surface of active electrode that actually engages and releasable secures a portion of iontophoresis patch at active electrode region of said substrate to the skin of a patient, and
• (f) a plurality of adhesive dots on said substrate, said dots being electrically connected to said power source;
• wherein powering said circuit with said power supply causes the—administration of said cosmetic agent to said patient's face by transcutaneous delivery through the mechanism of iontophoresis;
• wherein said exterior periphery of said substrate is provided with an exterior fitting slit formed through said substrate and extending from the exterior periphery thereof into said substrate to permit portions of said substrate adjacent to and on opposite sides of said exterior fitting slit to be overlapped, thereby enhancing conformity of said mask to the patient's face;
• wherein said power supply has an output voltage that ranges from about 1.00 volt to about 15.00 volts;
• wherein said electrically conductive layer is sandwiched between said active electrode and said therapeutic face of said substrate;
• and
• wherein said electrically conductive layer is positioned interior of said exterior periphery of said substrate.
