What is a galvanic facial?
A galvanic facial is a skincare treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to enhance skin health, promote product absorption, and improve overall complexion.
How does it work?
The procedure typically involves two main steps: cleansing and treatment. A galvanic machine is used to apply a positive and negative charge to the skin. This process helps to:
- Deep cleanse: The negative charge can help draw out impurities and excess oils.
- Infuse products: The positive charge enhances the penetration of serums and other skincare products, allowing for deeper absorption.
Benefits of a galvanic facial:
- Improved skin texture: Can make the skin feel smoother and look more radiant.
- Enhanced hydration: Boosts the effectiveness of hydrating products.
- Reduced signs of aging: Helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Stimulated circulation: Promotes better blood flow, contributing to a healthy glow.
- Detoxification: Aids in removing toxins and impurities from the skin.
Potential side effects of a galvanic facial:
- Mild redness: Temporary redness or irritation may occur after the treatment.
- Skin sensitivity: Some individuals may experience increased sensitivity following the procedure.
- Allergic reactions: Rarely, reactions to products used during the facial can happen.
- Discomfort: A slight tingling sensation may be felt during treatment, but it should not be painful.
