Abstract

A painless electric stimulation appliance for body care comprises at least one stimulation electrode (24, 25) and a vibrating part (23) positioned in the vicinity of the electrode, which mechanically prompts the skin in vibration in association with the electric stimulation. The vibrating part is mechanically actuated by the rotation around an axis (18) of a rotating element (22) which is in turn driven mechanically in rotation.
