Cosmetic galvanic treatments use the basic principles that like charges repel each other and opposites attract – similar to magnetic poles. Simple product formulations can contain key ingredients, which carry a positive or negative charge. A galvanic instrument can also be set to have the same charge as the product. The repelling of like charges “pushes” the product into the skin, facilitating the delivery of key ingredients. With the careful application of positive and negative galvanic currents to the skin, users are able to perform a variety of beneficial skin treatments.
