The invention relates to a hand-held device for the electrically assisted dermal treatment whereby current is passed into the skin from an external electric circuit via an electrode (20) so that active ingredients from cream applied earlier onto the skin can be better absorbed by the skin. To aid this effect, a cap (9) of the device, which cap functions as the electrode (20), is provided with a vibrator (15) such that the electrode (20) vibrates on the skin, thereby working the cream into the skin.
