This iontophoresis device comprises: (a) a first conductive electrode consisting essentially of a conductive gel layer containing or capable of containing an ionic agent and a current-distribution conductive member layer, the two layers being integrally laminated together; (b) a second conductive electrode consisting essentially of a conductive gel layer and a current-distribution conductive member layer, the two layers being integrally laminated together; and (c) a lightweight battery. The first and second electrodes are electrically connected to the lightweight battery so that a closed circuit is formed when the above members are applied to the skin. | |
