The invention concerns a method for applying gold to a patient's face skin tissues comprising a device generating a unipolar voltage (10), a mask (16) whereof the internal wall is covered with gold and designed to be placed on the patient's face by means of a gel-type fluid acting as electrolyte in contact with the internal wall, the mask (16) being connected to the voltage generating device (10) positive terminal (12), and a patient's electrode (18) in contact with the patient's body cutaneous part and connected to the voltage generating device (10) negative terminal (14) such that the gold atoms are transferred from the mask to the patient's skin by electrolysis through the fluid.
