Galvanic Current and Collagen Production: Are They Related?

If you’re looking to get more out of your skincare routine, you may have heard about Galvanic Current. This gentle electrical current is used in some facial devices to help your favorite serums and creams absorb more effectively into your skin. While there’s a lot of buzz around different skincare technologies, it’s important to know that Galvanic Current’s main benefit is supporting better absorption of your skincare products. If you’re interested in supporting healthy collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin, that’s where Red Light Therapy comes in—not Galvanic Current.

What Is Galvanic Current?

Galvanic Current is a gentle, low-level electrical current used in some skincare devices to help your skin absorb products more effectively. When you use a device that features Galvanic Current, it delivers a mild charge across the surface of your skin. This process is completely non-invasive and is designed to support a hydrated, refreshed look.

The Solawave Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand combines Galvanic Current with other skincare technologies, but the main role of Galvanic Current is to help your serums and creams penetrate deeper, so you get the most out of your skincare routine.

How Galvanic Current Promotes Better Skincare Product Absorption

The process that allows Galvanic Current to boost product absorption is called iontophoresis. Iontophoresis uses electrical currents to help move active ingredients from your skincare products into the upper layers of your skin. This means that when you apply a serum or cream and use a Galvanic Current device, more of those beneficial ingredients can reach where they’re needed most.

Better absorption matters because it helps your skincare products work more efficiently, allowing you to see and feel the results you’re looking for. Hydrating serums, brightening treatments, and products designed to smooth or refine your skin’s texture can all benefit from enhanced absorption.

Galvanic Current vs. Red Light Therapy: Understanding the Difference

Red Light Therapy and Galvanic Current are two different technologies, each with its own unique benefits. Red Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to support healthy collagen production, which can help your skin look firmer, smoother, and more radiant over time. This technology works by reaching deeper layers of your skin and supporting your body’s natural renewal processes.

On the other hand, Galvanic Current is all about helping your skincare products absorb better. It does not support collagen production. If you’re looking to address signs of skin aging like fine lines or want to support healthier-looking skin, Red Light Therapy is the technology to look for. If your goal is to get more out of your serums and creams, Galvanic Current is the tool that can help.

How to Use Galvanic Current in Your Skincare Routine

Using Galvanic Current at home is simple and can easily fit into your regular skincare routine—here’s how to get started:

1. Prep Your Skin: Begin with clean, dry skin. Gently cleanse your face to remove any makeup, sunscreen, or impurities.

2. Apply a Conductive Serum: For the best results, use a serum designed to work with Galvanic Current devices, like the LightBoost™ Wand Activating Serum. This type of serum not only helps the device glide smoothly but also supports hydration and barrier health.

3. Turn On Your Device: Power on your Galvanic Current device. Make sure it’s fully charged and ready to use.

4. Glide the Device: Gently glide the wand in slow, upward and outward motions across your face. The device will deliver a mild electrical current as you move it over your skin, helping your serum absorb more effectively.

5. Follow the Timer: The Solawave wand has a built-in timer that lets you know when it’s time to move to the next area. Typically, you’ll spend about three minutes per zone, with a total treatment time of around twelve minutes.

6. Finish Up: Once you’ve treated all areas, turn off the device and continue with the rest of your skincare routine, such as applying moisturizer or sunscreen.

Tips for Choosing the Right Skincare Products:

• Look for serums or gels that are water-based and specifically labeled as conductive or compatible with Galvanic Current devices.

• Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and minerals can help support hydration and visible skin radiance.

• Avoid using products with heavy oils or thick creams during your Galvanic Current session, as these can block the current and reduce effectiveness.
