Galvanic History

In 1855 a French neurologist, Guillaume Duchenne, known as the father of electrotherapy, announced that he finds alternating current to be superior to direct current for electrotherapeutic. Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy in the treatment of illness of health. In medicine, the term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of different treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as brain stimulators for neurological disease. The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electrical current to speed wound healing. Electrotherapy today is used for relaxation of muscle spasms, increase of local blood circulation, muscle rehabilitation and re-education, maintaining and increasing range of motion, management of chronic and intractable pain, post-traumatic pain, post surgical pain, surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent thrombosis, wound healing and in drug delivery.

In Toronto in 1875, Jennie Kidd Trout opened the Therapeutic and Electrical Institute, which specialized in treatments for women involving "galvanic baths or electricity." Trout was the first woman in Canada legally to become a medical doctor, and was the only woman in Canada licensed to practice medicine until 1880. She also ran a free dispensary for the poor at the same location. The Institute was quite successful, later opening branches in Brantford and Hamilton, Ontario.

A Galvanic bath is an alternative medical treatment (a type of electrotherapy) based on the simultaneous use of water and electric current. The patient lies in a warm bath, while gentle electric current is passed through his or her body. Galvanic baths were mostly used in the treatment of degenerative diseases such as inflammatory arthritis and problems with the joints. The treatments normaly last about 15 minutes. In addition to full galvanic baths, when the patients body is fully immersed in water, there were also chambered galvanic baths, which also combine electrotherapy and hydrotherapy, but are used only on the limbs. The forearms and lower legs are put in water trays,or cells and electric current is passed through warm water. This pain-killing procedure improves the circulation and is considered especially beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis.

In a book by Carl. G. Jung published in 1906, he references to the use of Galvanic skin response instruments.GSR is a method of measuring the electrical resistance of the skin, also known as electro dermal response. There has been a long history of electro dermal activity research, most of it dealing with spontaneous fluctuations. It is through these studies and theory that lie detectors and today's touchscreens have come into being.

During the 1940s the US War Department, investigated the application of electrical stimulation not just to retard and prevent degeneration but to restore muscle mass and strength, they employed what was termed galvanic exercise on the degenerating hands of patients who had suffered nerve lesion from surgery upon a wound. The clinical findings were favorable.

How does Galvanic Work?

Galvanic facials, scalp, or body therapy is based on the basic laws of electricity, "like repels, opposites attract. The two forces ( + positive and - negative) pull together like a magnet and push the product in to the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis). The capacity of your skin absorption is increased by the galvanic ion and this improves the penetration of nutrition products through your skin. With the Galvanic as you gently rub or press the galvanic massager over your face it gives a steady, direct galvanic current of positive and negative ions through your skin. Below are the steps recommended for use of the Galvanic System.

Step 1 pre-treat

  • During the Pre-treat cycle, the Galvanic instrument and the Pre-Treat Gel are negatively charged

  • These negative charges repel each other, driving the Pre-Treat Gel into the skin.

  • The Pre-Treat Gel binds to impurities deep in the skin.

Step 2 treatment

  • During the Treatment cycle, the Galvanic instrument and the Treatment Gel are positively charged

  • These positive charges repel each other helping to deliver the beneficial ingredients to the skin, including the exclusive  ingredient blend.

  • The positively charged instrument attracts the remaining negatively-charged impurities from the Pre-treat cycle, drawing them out of the skin.
