Dear BX,
I read your article about galvanic currents for hair loss. What do you know about the galvanic current in the Nu Skin galvanic II with ageLOC system? All I can find is promos or articles about the business. And what would be the difference between it and one of the other products that electrically stimulate the skin and muscles of the face?
Thanks,
Linda
Do you mean to tell me that you don’t want to fork over $300 for a skin care tool without understanding how it works first?! Ah, your question is consumer-smart music to my ears, and I commend you for reaching out to BX for more info!
Well, what I did know about galvanic current before you brought my attention to Nu Skin’s ageLOC Galvanic Spa System was that it’s been used in costly spa treatments for a very, very long time. What I found out about the system upon receiving your question was that it has since trickled down to a “more accessible” market — no, CVS isn’t selling it just yet, but even around $360 for a system is a deal if you’re actually going to use it, since facials with the same technology can cost you upward of $150.
Everyone I touched base with — spa consultants, market representatives, customers — touted how immediately visual the system’s results are for the treatment of sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles. How does it do so? Delivery, delivery, delivery!
Nu Skin’s tool is founded on the basic principal that opposites attract (sigh, don’t I know it). The tip of the tool, or the conductor, is the attachment that utilizes this truth in two ways. In the pre-treat cycle, the tool and the pre-treat gel you use are negatively charged so the gel is repelled deep into your skin, where it binds with impurities. In the treatment cycle, the tool and the treatment gel (it’s a different gel) are both positively charged. The result appears to be that the treatment gel with anti-aging capabilities is repelled into your skin, and the impurities are attracted outward by the positive charge of the tool. This allows product you massage in to penetrate your skin faster and deeper than you could ever hope for with a manual application. (By the way, the current system’s facial conductor is an upgrade from the previous model – they’ve made it larger to “fit the contour of your face” more aptly.)
This brand has a special patent on a self-adjusting feature in regard to the galvanic current. As we certainly know, all skin was not created equal. As a result of this new technology, you can be sure that the Galvanic Spa knows it too – it’s programmed to determine the specific current appropriate for your skin and deliver it. To this degree, it’s considered by some to be safer to use (especially on sensitive skin) because it has your personal skin type in mind. Or in computer chip. Or whatever.
To note, one reason that you were bombarded with so many promos in your search for answers might be because Nu Skin is a global direct selling company, which means it has hundreds of thousands of independent sales representatives.
I have yet to try the system myself, but all of this researching has pegged my interest about it for sure. Stay tuned for a review of Nu Skin product coming soon! Will you be trying it?

I own the original Nu Skin Galvanic Spa. I purchase it after a friend took me to a Spa for a demo. The esthetician informed me that my face looked excellent for my age and Nu Skin would help to prolong that. She also informed me that my neck was showing signs of age. She proceeded to do a treatment on my entire face and half of my neck. The results were immediate. My face was clean, my pores were tight and my skin was left glowing. My neck was a shock. What a difference! It was lifted and glowing. Utterly different than the untreated side. Over the next few days I asked my friends to guess which was the treated side of my neck. They all guessed correctly. So, with much excitement I decided to make the purchase despite it's high price tag. I used it for a very short while but I found it very tedious to use. Having an esthetician use the Nu Skin on me at the Spa was relaxing. The DIY experience, however, was quite boring and annoying. I also failed to realize how expensive the gel ampules required for treatment are because I was too excited about the results of the machine. If you regularly purchase top of the line skincare you might not bat an eye, but be warned, it adds up quickly! So, my summary of this machine is it absolutely works but has the downside of time commitment and high price for the treatment gel ampules.
