Beauty Deals Direct. It comes complete with three sets of probes and pre-set programmes for varying skin types and to help target specific areas.


Alternatively, the Bio-Ultimate Platinum® microcurrent unit from BioTherapeutic features advanced Suzuki Sequencing™ technology advancing the results of its services.


The Bio-Ultimate Platinum® features 11 lifting and firming programs that leave skin toned, hydrated, and luminous.

New from Nouveau Beauty Group is the A-lift which uses patented Nano-current technology to re-energise your clients’ ageing cells leaving them with continually youthful, healthy complexions.


Every human being has their own individual electric current running through their bodies known asAdenosine Triphosphate (ATP) which charge and provide the fuel for virtually every cell in the human body. Research has found that by externally applying currents that mimic the body’s electrical frequency, cells can be recharged, boostingATP levels and triggering the rejuvenation process. TheA-Lift is a technological breakthrough that automatically monitors, reprograms and adjusts its output frequency 16 times a second to mimic you client’s unique frequency.


galvanic


Environ’s IonzymeDF IIMachine uses anAlginateMasque to run the current across thewhole area of the face rather than specific points.


A galvanic current is a direct, steady, low- voltage and low-amplitude electric current. The electrons and ions are flowing constantly, always in the same direction.


“Galvanic works on the principal of producing chemical substances under the electrodes used in the treatments,” says Angela. “These in turn have specific effects on the skin and underlying tissues. The current applies to the tissues generally increases blood and lymphatic circulation, but it is used more for the specific treatments outlined below.”


According toAngela, there are two ways in which Galvanic treatment can be used – Desincrustation and Iontophoresis.


BeautyDealsDirect’s Professional High FrequencyMachine uses glass electrodes to pass a high frequency current into the skin and treat blemishes.


Desincrustation: This treatment is always worked with the active electrode, the one held by the client is positive. The chemical produced under theActive electrode is Sodium Hydroxide and its primary use is to deep cleanse the skin. This treatment is suitable for greasy seborrhoeic acne type skin, but all skin types, except sensitive, would benefit.


Iontophoresis: This treatment is used to pass products through an unbroken skin by the use of galvanic current for particular skin types or specific skin conditions (e.g. oily or dry skin or acne or couperose skin). Gels or ampoules are used that have been


ionised and theActive electrode use a negative or positive polarity (i.e. If the product is ionised negative to positive the active electrode should be negative and if the product is ionised positive to negative the active electrode should be positive. Iontophoresis is performed for five to seven minutes always reversing the polarity of the active electrode for the last one to two minutes of the treatment to restore the pH balance of the skin which is disturbed by the galvanic current.


Beauty Deals Direct offer the PJS-2029 Professional Galvanic FacialMachine, which is easy to operate and allows full function of positive and negative galvanic treatments in a salon facial. The unit comes complete with roller, client bar and ball attachments.


PaulMattes of Beauty Deals Direct explains how the PJS-2029 machine works: “Galvanic machines are used to drive treatment gel deep into the skin through electric currents. The galvanic current stimulates blood and oxygen to the surface. During cycles, the galvanic machine is negatively charged.When you treat the face with the negatively charged galvanic machine, the charges repel each other, which drives the gel into the skin. Once in the skin, the gel binds to impurities.


“Next, the galvanic machine is turned to a positive charge and thus is attracted to the negatively charged impurities in the skin and draws them out to the surface.”


Alternatively, the Environ Ionzyme DF II Machine is a patented system which uses low-frequency sound waves (sonophoresis) and a pulsed form of galvanic electrical current (iontophoresis) to deliver key active ingredients (high doses of vitaminA and antioxidant vitamins C, E and beta-carotene) deep into the skin.


“The system is designed to provide professional treatments for clients who are using homecare products, but who want more outstanding improvements to the skin,” says ClareMuir, head of training at iiaa. “The pulsed electrical current (iontophoresis ) has been found to effect superior penetration compared with the conventional continuous galvanic current which has been used in beauty therapy for the past 100 years. Iontophoresis using Environ’s specially designed intermittent current can give about 400 percent better penetration compared to simple topical application for superior rejuvenation effects.”


She continues: “One Environ Ionzyme treatment is equivalent to approximately 12 old-style galvanic treatments. This is because the Ionzyme machine offers a direct, pulsed current as opposed to a direct continuous current. Think of hitting a nail with a hammer to push the nail deep as
