Nu Skin Galvanic Spa

I had high hopes for this but the results I got were virtually non-existent (this review is for the Age-Loc lotion). I did like the smell and consistency of it, but I just didn't see any difference in the look or health of my skin :(

I was lucky enough to have been given a Galvanic Spa by my lovely friends for my 30th birthday. I've been using this for 5 years now and it isn't until I get lazy and miss a few spas that I am reminded of how good this product is.

I don't think you'll notice an immediate result, as in after one use. But with regular use you'll see the benefits on your skin.

I also tried the hair and body products with the spa but didn't see any improvements, but I definitely did on my face. It's not as glamorous as going to a salon and getting a facial but much more economical once you've bought the spa machine itself.

I have performed many galvanic facials on clients for years and the reason I love the Nu Skin home device is that it is safe and effective. It is not just for anti-aging but also excellent for softening the sebum and acne. It will be available this October 2014 again in the United States and was off the market because it was getting FDA approval as a cosmetic device. It has been awarded FDA approval. The product comes with a 2 yr. warranty if purchased by a distributor. You can buy it in most countries listed on this website www.nuskin.com and if you want wholesale sign up as a distributor. It is free to sign up but you will need a sponsoring distributor's ID# Feel free to use US1204151 - it is my ID# or call me for more info 240-586-2053. Being I love to educate - learn more about what galvanic facials can do.
GALVANIC FACIAL TREATMENT
May 5, 2011 at 4:59am
Galvanic treatment is a very successful skin care treatment. It’s extremely popular due to the excellent results shown on TV. Unsurpassed Anti-Aging Results with immediate cummulative results. It can be used for different skin types and conditions. To get the best result with galvanic treatment two different basic steps are required. After receiving a Galvanic Facial Treatment the energy effects will still be working on the skin for an additional 2 days post treatment, making any products applied to skin work 10 times better and deeper in the dermis layers of the skin for an addtional 2 days.

This facial treatment is often applied by using metal probe sliding over the skin with a specialized serums or ampules. The serum or lotion has two purposes:
To make the facial metal probe slide smoothly over your face
The lotion or serum contains nutrition that can be absorbed by your skin using the galvanic machine


Cleansing Step or Desincrustation
The first treatment is designed to deep cleanse the pores of the skin and degrease oily areas. Usually a cleansing gel is applied. This cleansing step is used to remove the oily skin areas such as acne and pimples. Some skin care specialist’s call this step Desincrustation
Nutrition Step or Iontophoresis
The second treatment involves the re-balancing of the skin from oily to dry including sensitive. Now you need to apply a serum or organic lotion with rich vitamins. The galvanic machine will use postive and negative ions to push the nutrition into you skin.
This galvanic treatment enhances the skin absorption. Depending on type of serum, it will help to re-balance, normalize and hydrate the skin. This is a called the Iontophoresis.
Carefully selecting your serum or lotion.
As the galvanic machine is extremely powerful, the result can be affected by the facial products that are chosen.


Galvanic Electric Current Machine is more powerful than a portable handheld home spa device
It is very important that all metal or jewelry is not worn during a Galvanic Facial. People that have metal implants, heart bypass, pregnant women and seizures are not good candidates for the Galvanic Electric Current Machine. The battery operated galvanic devices are a better choice for people whom are not good candidates for the Galvanic Electric Current Machine.

What Is Electroporation?
Electroporation is a method of creating temporary pores in the skin by the application of a gentle electric charge. These channels allow skin care ingredients to penetrate the skin 100 to 10,000 times more effectively that just dabbing a cream on top of untreated skin. Different kinds of products, however, use different techniques of electroporation.


The Two Approaches to Galvanic Skin Care
The two processes of empowering the active ingredients of skin care products to reach deep in the skin (about 10 mm, or 4/10 of an inch) are:
·Electroosmosis, which increases the rate at which water flows through the skin, and
·Iontophoresis, a process of gently shocking skin pores to make them wider and more receptive to skin care products.
There is actually very little moisture even in the best-moisturized skin. Most of the outer layer of skin consists of a thick wall of protein-filled cells known as corneocytes. In between the corneocytes there is a mixture of about 50 per cent ceramides (the same chemicals you will see listed on the label for moisturizers), 25 per cent cholesterol (the same cholesterol that is in your arteries, only this time as a water-repellant), and 25 per cent water.
There just is not a lot of water in healthy skin. If water flow is stimulated, however, water-soluble ingredients are carried deeper into the skin. Many skin care ingredients are not water-soluble.
To increase the absorption of "lipophilic" ingredients, iontophoresis gives the pores a gentle shock. They open just a little, and become temporarily more permeable to fat-soluble ingredients. A tiny current, less than enough to power a penlight, is enough to help vastly more of these ingredients get into the skin to do their work

I have so many face gadgets and wasn't very interested in this products because of its connotations with pyramid selling BUT that aside, the face spa is fabulous!

The first time I used this was at my GP's office. She's a raw vegan and is not the most conventional so this seemed right up her alley. The difference after the first use was unbelievable. I looked 10 years younger (and being 28 at the time, I thought I looked pretty young!) The dark circles under my eyes had greatly reduced and my skin was glowing from within. I've never had such an experience with any other treatment of product before.

I have a Clarisonic and a DDF as well as countless masks. I love them all but the galvanic spa is special. It helps my skin look clearer and brings impurities to the skin quicker. The idea is that the first setting pushes the pre-treatment gel into your skin and the second setting, being the opposite charge, pulls things out of your skin. Very clever! None of the others do that as they are physical abrasions and some times the masks can disturb the overall environment of the skin.

My skin feels so alive after using it and I look forward to getting the gels out. It's my little treat!

I use half of the amount and store the rest for a few days. They say not to but I don't see any difference if I use the whole tube or not. Sure it might be hygiene and efficiency thing but it could also be a marketing issue too - after all they are a company.

I think it's worth the cost. Admittedly I got mine second hand off eBay as I couldn't justify the RRP. I find it brings a new world of circulation to my skin and my skin quality looks more vibrant. It helps to draw out the blind pimples I get from congestion. I don't think it replaces exfoliation or any of my other devices but certainly wouldn't do them all in one day!

I started to use this face spa machine last month, cuz i coundn't get in US, so i ordered from my friend in Canada. Cuz i saw a lot of people using this face spa at home, and seems interesting, so i tried.

Fantastic, it comes with fascial gel and the napca mist, and also the face line corrector, it just have differnt funciton and my pouch lighten after two times and also with my whole face.

I love it, i just keep doing it twice a week, its enough. I want to share this magic machine with my dear friends, and also i can provide my friend who you can buy from. she's vchat: 2295455428,.

OMG, i seldom write reviews. But this product is amazing. i bought this straight from the Nu Skin store and the whole pack includes gels and serums that you need to get you started. Although expensive, it is worth every penny cause it will save you in the long run.

I have bad acne scarring, oily face, and enlarged pores. I have tried everything including laser treatments at medical centres spending $$$$ and expensive cosmetic brands, but nothing delivered like the Galvanic Spa.

Only after 1 week, i noticed the discolouration from my acne scars have lightened, face has an overall glow, cleaner and brighter appearance.

If you are considering buying it , please do so. I only wish I got it earlier. Since at a young age i have been wearing make up to hide my acne and scars, but with the improvement I hope soon that I can stop. please please give it ago. you can thank me later.

I have been using the Spa on a weekly basis for approximately six weeks. The skin on my face is smoother with smaller pores and as a result, if this makes sense, the makup on my face just looks neater/more polished. There is very clear tightening around my jawline. The horizontal lines on my neck are gradually becoming less pronounced and I'm trying to get the same result on a rather deep horizontal line on my forehead - but that one's going to take more time... I'm sure the good effects will plateau at some stage but I feel quite positive that things will continue to improve in the short term... I purchased positive and negative serum from Rankine's Remedies (works out much cheaper) but I'm going to return to using the Nuskin ageloc gels as that's the whole point of using it, isn't it? I know that Nuskin advise agains this - but I find that if I treat my face in sections, I can actually use each gel for x3 treatments (the gels are SO expensive but you can purchase more cheaply on eBay). I also use the moisture spray that came with the Spa to stop the gels drying on my face before I have had a chance to complete the treatments. So far, so good...

I was introduced to this product in my last Hong Kong trip in Feb 2012. I was amazed at the first time and the second time result, so I bought it back to America to use it.

I have now used this product for more than two months and I believe it works. I am not gong to say it's like magic or works miraculous. But the product WORKS!

I am not sure if it will continue to improve my facial skin the longer I use it. Or it's going to be like other products... once it gets to a point, it stops the improvement.

So far I am happy I bought this product. Yes it is pricey, but it is worth the investment. I am going to buy the next generation too!

Good Luck!

Wow, what an amazing tool. I have watched several family members use this and rave about it for a couple of years now. I used it once many months ago without taking it seriously and didn't note the changes because I didn't really care. I recently decided to start using it properly after seeing amazing before and after images in the Nu Skin catalogue and on the internet.
I have been using the new version of this (the one with the coin sized metal tip rather than the flat and wide tip) and I can't believe how well it has worked for me. After only two uses, I noticed my forehead lines were a lot finer, and the pores in my T-zone were substantially reduced. It has made my skin look a lot smoother and makeup glides on. I am looking forward to continuing with this treatment to see if there will be more changes.
I have read all of the reviews on this page and cannot understand how this product has not worked for some people because it is simply sooo good.
Sure, this technology has been around for many years and using electric currents to treat skin isn't something Nu Skin invented. However, Nu Skin has created an amazing product which you can use at home. It is very very expensive but if you compare this with getting regular treatments at a spa, it works out to be a lotycheaper. And, I think the results are just as good, if not better.
I will review this product again in a few weeks time to let you know if there have been further improvements. I am very happy with this product.
