Which type of current is used in conjunction with galvanic treatments?

Galvanic treatments utilize direct current (DC) to facilitate various processes such as iontophoresis and desincrustation. In galvanic treatments, the continuous flow of direct current allows for the introduction of ionic substances into the skin and effective cleansing of pores through chemical reactions.

Direct current encourages the movement of charged particles, making it ideal for treatment techniques that require an electrical charge to affect the skin. The steady and unidirectional flow of this current is essential in creating both ionic effects and chemical reactions necessary for these esthetic procedures.

In contrast, alternating current (AC) reverses direction periodically and is not suitable for purposes that require a stable, consistent current like those in galvanic treatments. Pulsed current offers different therapeutic benefits typically used in other types of treatments, but it does not align with the specific requirements of galvanic methods. Similarly, high frequency current operates at a much higher rate and is not employed in the same context as galvanic treatments.
