  1. Galvanic current Effects, treatments, facts

  2. Galvanic is applied at the end of the facial • Description • Low voltage ( 60-80 volts ) • Low intensity current with constant polarity during the application time • Example • Flow of water thru a canal that has constant width • Effects • Classified in • Polar • Occur in the areas on the skin that are in direct contact with the electrodes • Interpolar • Occur in the area that the current flows thru

  3. Galvanic POLAR + Acid oxygen coagulates vasoconstriction sedates ______________________________________________________________ - Alkaline hydrogen liquefies vasodilation stimulates Effects Interpolar Increases in superficial blood circulation Temperature increase Stimulates cell metabolism due to iron movement between cells regeneration

  4. Intro to Treatments • Ionization • Process to help in the absorption of ionizable cosmetic products • There are as many treatments as ionizable products in the market • Disincrustation • Deep cleaning of sebaceous secretions • Bleaching of pigmentation spots • Galvanization • Application to just get the beneficial effects of the current

  5. Facts • A: • Apply to all treatments • Set a circuit to let the current flow • It is necessary to work with a minimum of two cords (+ & - ) • Always work in pairs • To make it easier, an “active” and a “passive” or “grounding” electrode may be considered

  6. Facts • Active electrode has the necessary polarity ( +,- ) to do the treatment and is associated to the red color cord • The grounding is mainly used to set the circuit and let the current flow • For this purpose, conductive gel, tap water, or physiological solution are used • The grounding is associated to the black color cord • There are several ways to set the circuit • The red cord is connected into the red machine outlet • The black cord is connected into the black outlet

  7. Facts • B: • Intensity – there is a maximum that depends on the contact surface of the active electrode regardless of the client’s sensation • The intensity must not be set higher than 0.05 mA per cm2 of electrode surface • Even if the client has no sensation, higher intensity must not be used

  8. Facts • This maximum must not be over passed • Microgalvanic • Roller electrode - .99 mA • Point electrode - .20 mA • Ball electrode .20 mA • Galvanic • Big pad (body) – 4.00 mA • Small pad – 2.00 mA

  9. Product, polarity, time • Each treatment requires a different type of product, polarity (+,-) and duration time, according to the following chart:

  10. *1 Ionizable product is a cosmetic substance that has been especially manufactured to be used with galvanic current and ha, therefore, an ion composition • If the product is not ionizable, a galvanization will be done composition • If the product is not ionizable, a galvanization will be done instead of a ionization • The polarity of the product ( +,- ) and the treatment advised duration time is indicated by the product manufacturer. • Ionizable products are normally water soluble

  11. *2Disincrustation lotion is a solution designed to turn the sebum acids into a soap-like substance • For instance: • A solution of 10 % baking soda and distilled water • A solution of 5 % sodium chloride (ClNa) and distilled water

  12. *3 The orange acidity is appropriate for this treatment. • It is not advisable to use lemon • *4 a conductive product is a substance that is a good electrical conductor

  13. *5 the skin condition and the particular manufacture indications are to be taken into consideration • It is possible and advisable to decrease the treatment intensity and proportionally increase the duration time • A intensity lower than that previously stated in point of intensity of + & -.
