Cataphoresis
- Introduces acidic products into deeper tissues using galvanic current from positive to negative pole.
- Results in skin tightening.
- Decreases blood circulation and calms nerve endings.
- Enhances product penetration for tightening and soothing effects.
- Relies on slightly acidic (positive) products that facilitate absorption.
Anaphoresis
- Involves introducing alkaline products to the skin via electric current.
- Increases blood flow, stimulating nerves and softening the skin.
- Essential for desincrustation, preparing skin for treatments.
- Utilizes alkaline (negative) products for effective results.
Iontophoresis
- A method of using electric current to deliver water-soluble solutions to the skin.
- Employed within cataphoresis by using serums and positive products.
Key Product Types
- Positive Products: Slightly acidic, used in cataphoresis.
- Negative Products: Alkaline, utilized in anaphoresis and desincrustation processes.
