Electrical Facial Treatments Overview
There are many types of Electrical Facials that addresses different skin concerns. At ACHW we cover Galvanic Facials and High Frequency Facials.
Galvanic Facial Treatments is a non-invasive procedure that emits small electrical currents that mimic the natural electricity found in the body, to deliver nutrients, vitamins, and minerals into the skin. It is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin, improve skin textures, and enhance absorption of skincare products.
On the other hand, High Frequency Facial Treatments focuses on cell stimulation and oxygen. The wand emits high-frequency currents on the skin, releasing oxygen molecules to stimulate oxygenation, collagen production, and reduces inflammation. The treatment is non-invasive and involves no downtime.
