Galvanic
WORKING IN PAIRS
YOU WILL NEED:
• 1 galvanic machine + 2 x rollers + 1 x desincrustation
electrode and a saturator
• 2 pieces of Gauze/ cotton wool /elastic bands to cover
desincrustation electrode
• Assorted consumables e.g. Spatula’s, mask brush etc
• Desincrustation & iontophoresis gel
• Cleansers, toners, petroleum jelly, massage medium &
moisturisers
• Mask/ No exfoliate
What Does Galvanic Do?
•There are different electrodes
that are suited to both the body
and facial treatments
•The galvanic current is used in two
ways on the face to improve cleanliness,
tone, texture and condition of skin.
•The treatment requires a direct
current applied via two
electrodes, a cathode(-) the
active electrode and an anode(+)
the in active electrode.
•This treatment methods are
known as desincrustation and
iontophoresis.
DESINCRUSTATION TREATMENT
• Cleanse the skin thoroughly – twice is ideal to remove both make-up and perform a deep cleanse. Remove cleanser and blot, so the skin is
clean and grease-free.
• Carry out thermal and sensitivity testing on the face.
• Test the machine on yourself and in front of the client – if required, test it on the client, too – so the client feels the sensation and is
comfortable with it.
• Give the client the covered, neutral electrode (bar) to hold in a hand without jewellery on, and make sure the sponge glove is damp, but not
wringing wet – some companies do not require the bar to be covered (always check).
• Decant desincrustation gel into a bowl, and apply to the face with either massage movements or a mask brush.
• Make contact with the sponge electrode on the skin, and turn up the current gradually, until the client feels a tingling sensation;
• turn down the intensity slightly and introduce the other electrode to the face.
• Use slow, even, circular movements all over the face, but do not allow the electrode to come into contact with one another.
• Work all over the face and neck area – approximately 5–7 minutes depending upon skin type and reaction, etc.
• When electrode use is completed, remove one electrode; keep the one in contact with the skin moving and turn current down and then off.
Remove other electrode. Reverse polarity
• Turn off the current, remove the electrode and thoroughly remove all the product with damp sponges.
• Comedone extraction with sterile probe or covered fingers can now be completed.

CHEMICAL EFFECTS CREATED AT
THE POLES
Effects of the anode
(positive pole)
•Acid reaction
•Vaso-constrictive,
decreases blood supply
which reduces redness of
the skin
•Astringent effect -pores
tighten
•Soothing effect on nerve
endings
•Firms tissues
Effects of the cathode
(negative pole)
•Alkaline reaction
•Vaso-dilative, increases
blood supply which
increases the redness of the
skin
•Pores relax
•Stimulating effect on nerve
endings
•Softens tissues
