What is this - the procedure for iontophoresis of the face?

The procedure for iontophoresis of the facial skin is a physiotherapy procedure, otherwise called drug electrophoresis. This cosmetic procedure, carried out for the purpose of healing damaged skin, is as follows:

1. First, one or another special medicinal preparation is applied to the face, depending on the form, degree and type of damage to the epidermis:

• gel against acne or pigmentation ;
• mask with the effect of lifting;
• cream or whey;
• liquid solution.

2. Next to the surface of the skin of the face is a galvanic micrototal with the help of a joystick with different special nozzles, which are led along the skin by massage movements. The device is aimed at:

• increased blood circulation;
• synthesis of oxygen in cells;
• the ability of the drug to penetrate deep into the skin layer.

Under the influence of current, the drug at the molecular level is polarized, turns into an electrolyte solution, in which its ions easily penetrate the skin, accumulate in the cells, and then enter the blood and lymph vessels.

3. Cosmetic preparations begin active activity on restoration and improvement of skin cells.
