Galvanic Flashcards
(10 cards)
intro machine and application
The machine I have chosen today is Galvanic. The reason I have chosen this machine is that it softens fat and aids in the disposal of cellulite. It uses a constant direct current applied with two electrodes, one positive and one negative, to gently stimulate the skin.
Current
This machine uses a constant direct current interrupted
How does this machine work
The current is applied through electrodes in the form of gel conductive pads attached to the skin. It sends a direct current into the skin.
Positive Polarity
which is for 2 minutes. Produces hydrochloric acid, restores the acid mantle, pushes product into the skin, firms and tightens skin, closes pores and is cellulite firming.
Negative Polarity
Negative polarity, which is anapherisis, goes on for 8 minutes. It generates an alkaline reaction that softens sebum and opens pores. Sodium hydroxide breaks down the acid mantle.
Contraindications
the specific contraindications to this machine are pregnancy, pacemakers, metal implants, certain heart conditions, epilepsy, diabetes and open wounds.
Effects on skin
It improves product absorption, reduces appearance of cellulite, boosts circulation, promotes collagen production, leading to smoother and tighter skin
Safety precautions
Don’t use on clients with pacemakers, epilepsy, or metal implants, and ensure proper skin preparation, Proper electrode placement, monitor skin condition, and start with low intensity
Home care advice
I would advise you to prioritise skin hydration, sun protection, and avoid heat and other treatments for 24-48 hours.
Safety precautions
