Service Description

Sometimes referred to as cosmetic electrotherapy, galvanic facials are used to infuse skin tissue and facial muscles with a low to medium electrical current, facilitating such positive effects as stimulating blood circulation, boosting cellular metabolism, breaking down congestion in the pores, and even providing a form of non-surgical face lifting. It also provides the unique capacity to introduce various active solutions deeper into the skin for maximum efficacy. Galvanic current can then be applied one of two ways, depending on the desired reaction you are looking to create. Galvanic current for One of the most popular uses of galvanic in facial treatments, is for desincrustation to remove congestion from the pores. When used in conjunction with an alkaline or negative-pH product, galvanic technology is able to achieve a deeper kind of cleansing for the skin via a process known as saponification. Utilising targeted products in combination with the chemical reaction created by the electrical current acts to soften keratin, oil plugs, and sebum, thereby making it much easier to extract the follicles. As you can imagine, this approach can be especially helpful for addressing oily skin, acne, blackheads, and comedones. Galvanic current for iontophoresis On the opposite end of the galvanic spectrum is the process of iontophoresis, which is used to treat the skin using ionic penetration. With an almost magnet-like effect, positively charged ions deliver water-based products and solutions deep into the epidermis. This is also known to create a vasoconstrictive effect and promote lymphatic activity, helping to calm the skin, and promote repair. Iontophoresis is primarily used to treat a dry, dehydrated, or depleted complexion since it is incredibly effective at improving product absorption and moisture retention. However, it also has great potential as an age management modality, working to address conditions such as free radical damage, skin laxity, hyperpigmentation
