Electrical Facial Treatments use currents to gently push through the skin, triggering the cells related to skin enhancement to work at a cellular level.
Electrical Facial Treatments Overview
There are many types of Electrical Facial Treatments used in the beauty therapy industry that address different skin concerns. At ACHW, we cover Galvanic Facials and High Frequency Facials.
Galvanic Facial Treatments are 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 texture, and enhance absorption of skincare products.
On the other hand, High Frequency Facial Treatments focus on cell stimulation and oxygen. The wand emits high-frequency currents on the skin, releasing oxygen molecules to stimulate oxygenation, collagen production, and reduce inflammation. The treatment is non-invasive and involves no downtime.

Galvanic and High Frequency Facial Treatments are beneficial for most skin types and can be adjusted depending on sensitivities and medical conditions determined by a professional skin analysis.
