Galvanic facial treatment is based on the basic laws of electricity (repels & attracts). The microcurrent of (+ positive and – negative) ions pull together like a magnet allowing for deep penetration of beneficial ingredients into the skin. Its primary uses as a noninvasive means for therapeutic purposes of facial treatment.
Galvanic is direct current, which causes chemical change in the tissues by reacting with the sodium chloride salts in the body. Galvanic currents help to focus cellular energy and enhance circulation. The – negative ions force all the dirt and debris held within your pores to the surface and at the same time, + positive ions gives you a fresh look and plumps the skin, banishing wrinkles.
The Galvanic facial treatment is not painful, in fact it is a very comfortable procedure. You will feel a slight tingling, prickling sensation, may also experience metallic taste in the mouth. Galvanic ion create heat (you may not feel) in the body, which encourages the blood flow by increasing the metabolism, you’ll have a faster cell renewal.
No down time is required for recovery, it is a treatment you can do over your lunch hour or break.
