A galvanic facial - electrotherapy facial!!?! initially it sounded like science fiction then it seemed scary.
Aparently it works with a direct current, constant flow. Nope I still was not getting it¿ Why would someone want a electrical facial?! - that makes two of us wondering, but here I was going to be a model in an electrical facial competition.
The therapists' confidently set up their work areas, with the 'galvanic machine ' metal electrical probs and specialist gels. To the novice it was ominous and intriguing at the same time.
After an in depth consultation which involved removing all jewellery, checking if I had a pace maker or metal implants [who did she think I was - the bionic woman!?!] I was assured it would not hurt; the most I would feel is a warming sensation. The first part of the treatment was a great deep cleansing facial and extraction - my pores were singing [maybe breathing for the first time!]
Then the moment came, I was asked to hold a metal probe, which would direct the current through my body to my face where the therapist rolled a probe over my face. This was the moment for specialist the gel which would be forced into the deep layers of my skin, soften lines that I have and help prevent premature lines. Age marks and dis-colouration evened out if not banished.
I wish I had taken a before and after photo. [You'll have to settle for pictures of the contestants set-up instead]
My pores/skin is refined. The dark shadows that had built up around my eyes have practically gone. My frown lines are not as deep and guess what - I slept through the whole thing it was so relaxing!
