Maybe you already know what Galvanic is but for those of you who don’t, its pure magic. No kidding! Nothing else can give you the result of Galvanic without shots, pain or invasive procedure.

Galvanic is  electric current that is applied to the skin.  Galvanic works on the principle of like charges repelling each other. A product that contains a negative ion will be pushed into the skin by a negative electric current. And a positively charged product will be pushed into the skin by a positive current.

Galvanic also has the ability to stimulate the circulation of oxygen and blood in the facial skin supplying an elevated level of nourishment. Skin care specialists have been using Galvanic for over 50 years in facial services. Galvanic also creates an environment in the skin that allows for an incredible  increase in the  efficacy of the skin care products you use after the treatment Neat, huh?

Do you “go tanning”?  You know, go to a tanning salon and lay in one of those beds or stand in the booth? Come on, you know who you are. You still think that a tan is a sign of good health; perhaps you even think it makes you look younger. That is what I hear people that use the awful things say.

Maybe you only use a tanning bed when you are preparing to take a vacation in a tropical location where you will have increased sun exposure. More than you are getting now if it is winter and you are in a cold climate. You think building up a ”base tan” will protect you from that first day sunburn? Really think so? Let’s get real… Read the rest of this entry »

Recently I met a young woman via the web that expressed great concern about acne scarring. I know personally how devastating acne can be emotionally, as I had a short lived run in with the dreaded stuff myself. Mine was what they refer to as Adult Acne, and responded well to a short term treatment plan. And I was fortunate not to have any scarring at all. But I know that if I had I would not be happy. So I felt compelled to try and find an answer for this young woman.

As you know, if you have read other posts here, my personal favorite tool for all things Anti-Aging is the Galvanic Facial. And it does have some effect on discoloration and mild scarring. Yet it is more targeted to wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. As well as deep cleaning the pores to prevent further breakouts and clogged pores.

Below is a chart showing the cost comparisons of several of the other leading Anti-Aging Skin Care products available.

If you are looking around at products that are meant to replace those expensive Botox injections, you have more than likely run across ads claiming this: “Better than Botox”. Right? I know I’ve seen plenty of them.

The ingredient that they are claiming is better than Botox is Argireline, or Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. This ingredient is a synthetically derived protein. Companies using this ingredient are claiming that it has muscle relaxing abilities. This ingredient is being put into products that are meant to be applied to the entire face. Now maybe I haven’t heard right, but isn’t Botox meant only for the brow and forehead area? And isn’t Botox a muscle movement minimizer, in other words muscle paralyzing?

Let me ask you this: Supposing that this ingredient works as well as the manufacturer claims and does relax the muscles of your face, is relaxing every muscle in your face something you really want? Doesn’t it make sense that if you were applying this on the entire surface of your face that the muscles of the face would all relax and you’d end up with sagging skin? Of course you would notice that, wouldn’t you? Are you using it? On your entire face? Is your face sagging? No? Then maybe it isn’t really doing anything at all. Read the rest of this entry »
