A galvanic facial treatment is a cosmetic therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to rejuvenate the skin. It entails applying two electrodes (positive and negative) to the surface. The positive current helps to push skincare products deeper into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness. Meanwhile, the negative current removes toxins and impurities through deep cleansing, reducing pore appearances.
This treatment is typically done in sessions and combined with other skincare methods for the best results. It is considered safe and non-invasive, but it’s essential to have it done by a professional to avoid unwanted side effects. Here are five things to expect during a galvanic facial treatment:
1. Skin Assessment
Before the actual facial treatment, your licensed esthetician or skincare professional will conduct a thorough skin assessment. This assessment examines your skin's condition and type and highlights any specific concerns. They will assess factors such as texture, oiliness, dryness, acne or other skin conditions, and visible signs of aging.
The evaluation aims to provide a customized treatment plan addressing your specific dermatological issues. This may involve enhancing product penetration, deep cleansing, firming, or tackling other concerns.
2. Conductive Gel Application
Conductive gel is formulated to work harmoniously with the electrical currents used in the procedure. It is applied to the face in sections, ensuring even coverage. This gel serves as a medium through which the currents can pass between the electrodes and your skin. It also guarantees that the electrical flow can effectively penetrate the surface and deliver the desired benefits.
3. Galvanic Device Usage
During a galvanic facial treatment, the sensation on your skin is generally quite mild and comfortable. Most people describe it as a gentle tingling or a slight vibrating feeling as the device is moved across the skin. It is not painful or excessively stimulating, but the sensation can vary depending on your sensitivity and the settings used by the esthetician.
The gel and the device's design are meant to make the experience pleasant and non-invasive. You may sense a subtle warmth or coolness, but it should not cause discomfort. If you ever feel discomfort during the treatment, it is essential to communicate with the practitioner so that they can adjust the settings.
4. Nutrient Infusion
The electrical currents help push skincare nutrients deeper into the skin's layers. This process is known as iontophoresis. It effectively transports essential vitamins, antioxidants, and other beneficial ingredients into the skin to maximize their effectiveness. Depending on your needs, the practitioner will select the appropriate products to address concerns like blemish control, hydration, or anti-aging.
5. Skin Tightening Effect
A noticeable outcome of a galvanic facial treatment is skin tightening. This is achieved by applying the negative electrical current during the procedure. While the effect is temporary, it can be particularly beneficial for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This can make the skin appear smoother and more youthful.
At Skintalize, we offer a comprehensive approach to skincare enhancement. Our utilization of a galvanic machine is designed to maximize the benefits of CLINICAL and OBAGI products by promoting deep absorption into the pores. This process enhances hydration, boosts blood circulation, and stimulates collagen production and new skin cell generation.
One feature of our treatment is Galvanic Desincrustation, a process that softens keratin and sebum within pores, facilitating the removal of pore-clogging debris. This makes it particularly effective for those with acne-prone skin, blackheads, and whiteheads. For clients seeking lasting results, we recommend a weekly treatment regimen followed by ongoing maintenance with monthly sessions.
