Beauty Benefits of Galvanic Facial

Beauty Benefits of Galvanic Facial

If you want to know about a facial especially meant for almost every skin type, be it normal, dry or oily, it is galvanic facial that features as one of the most prominent ones. While it helps in restoring moisture to dry skin, it also helps to eliminate accumulation of oil that leads to acne in case of oily skin. This is a facial, which not only hydrates skin but also increases the capacity of your skin to retain moisture. On the other hand, if you are suffering from congestion of skin pores, which is a common woe for everyone with oily skin, galvanic facial could be a solution for you. Here in this research article of mine, I have attempted to find out all the possible information you would like to know, in case you want to go for a galvanic facial.

Galvanic Facial:  What is it?

It is a facial which uses soft electric currents for stimulating, refreshing and rejuvenating your skin. This facial makes use of a process called “iontophoresis” and that is why, galvanic facial is also known as galvanic iontophoresis facial. Charged particles are electrically transported into the deeper layers of your skin through gels, which also contain negative and positive charges. In fact, it is said that this kind of facial is not just restricted to your facial skin; galvanic facial may be done to skin on many other parts of your body.

Galvanic Facial:  How Long Does the Treatment Take?

Approximately, it takes about an hour. Two major steps involved are as follows:

  • Cleansing of pores with a pre-treatment gel and then removal of the same with a damp wash cloth.
  • After that, another gel is applied on the skin and a galvanic massage is meted out to the skin. The galvanic current used is a mixture of negative and positive ions. This step helps in redistributing energy to the skin.

Galvanic Facial:  Who shouldn’t go for it?

While going for a galvanic facial, it is important to know whether or not it is suitable for you. Generally, it is said to be suitable for almost every type of skin, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. But, galvanic facial is not recommended for you if:

Now, follow the given steps:

  1. i have tried this at different salons. it feels like smone is just rolling a metal on face. its not a soothing massager. one doesnt even feel any current or so. no such great results either on my acne-prone skin.

    1. okay…i have not tried it! but i was curious to know abt it, hence this research article…thanks for sharing ur experiences! 🙂

        1. ohh…dats soo wonderful to know!!!! thanks a lotttt 😀 afterall, a writer is at her happy best when she knows that her compositions are read and well-followed *thankyou*

  2. Nice article Somreeta!

    have been doing this type of facial for the past 5 months now, and a regular monthly treatment has really helped me keep acne at bay. Sometimes it does give a slight electric sensation if one has a scratch or cut on that part of the skin also while the equipment is gliding off off face it gives you a strange kind of taste on the tongue. (Maybe because of the current). This has actually firmed my facial skin & helped in closing the pores. I would really suggest it for all those who have oily, acne prone skin.
    Your article made me understand added advantages of this treatment *thankyou*
    Keep posting!!
