Galvanic spa treatment worth it?

thats so great

From an Esthetician's point of view there are no negatives with this galvanic spa. It is safe for home use because Nu Skin has made it self adjusting to each person's skin thickness. Current is low and I prefer it over using the large floor model that is used in the Day Spa or Cosmetic businesses.

I have been using the GS for more than 6 months now and I didn't find any negative effects except that my friends tell me that I'm looking younger...

Lizzy, from experience, the galvanic spa is not worth it.

movie stars are just people. they have the same self talk as the rest of us. they have bad hair days and they don't like parts of their body. The Galvanic Spa is a professional machine. It just cuts down the cost so that a treatment costs $10.00 instead of $100.00. It is portable and fits in to handbags and suitcases. and it really works. Botox is expensive $250.00 min. which lasts about 6 weeks. If used regularly, when it wears off, you have to rush back to get more because your face looks older and older. We are all aging. The Galvanic spa is a little different because it allows us to age a little bit more gracefully. I love it and Tru essence ultra and ageloc transformation. These are all companion products by Nu skin. I have found for an initial investment, I can use it at home, whenever I like, and my skin is looking and feeling toned, with reduced lines.

Don't understand that language.. Am buying my galvanic body spa on eBay.. I will give you feedback and how it work for me!

The galvanic spa by Nu-skin is recommended to be used 3 times a week for 2mins on one side and 2 mins on the other using no1 current for clear gel and no2 current for blue gel. There is a no3 current for the peptide cream with a different head attachment. If you are experiencing problems, make sure that you are using Nu-skin companion products such as Ageloc Transformation or True Face essence ultra. Use of the spa is all on the DVD I find that it has helped my skin and refined my pores and it reduces costs down to $10.00 per treatment. You can spend a lot at the Beautician or the Dermatologist.

It makes my skin smoother but I noticed that I have more facial hair

Re Nu skin galvanic spa system.
HELP
Is there any kind/truthful distributor or Ex distributor who can explain why my skin is looking worse with blocked enlarged pores since using the device and gels for the last 3 weeks, 7 times in total for 10mins each time????? Will this improve with more usage, I'm feeling worried and ready to stop using it.

HI Nadiahoney. Yes i know what you mean, for me for now i quite enjoy using it though. I find it relaxing and enjoy being pro active, nknowing i am doing something that may help my skin. I have the Quasar MD though, which the company says not to use more than once a week. I use it twice a week, and would use it more if i knew it were safe, but i'm bit worried it may be too much for my skin. I will be receiving the Nuface on Tuesday, and can't wait to try that too. I think the Microcurrent like Nuface is good for an everyday skin routine, even if you dont see dramatic results, its good for the muscles, but i hope to see a little lifting that all :)

Hey Lizzy10 -- yeah Quasar is great I am so bad at sitting still but I have a version of this that I bought long ago, just so BORED sitting with those goggles on! I guess I should use it as a lesson in patience is a virtue (seems it's harder not easier as I get older, you know?)

HI Nadiahoney. I fugured out dry brushing is literally brushing your face with a softish brush and good for circulation and yes exfoliating too. LadyCC, that sounds awful. I was given a machine, its the old version, and your supposed to use it 5 minutes pre treatment and 5 minutes treatment too. So that would be 10. The new one is shorter time. Maybe thats why they changed the time? Or is the new one stronger i wonder? Its weird cz i dont have lines but i feel my skin in my cheeks looks lower too, and eye bags worse too. I know that the galvanic is supposed to push product into the skin and its the gels that are the anti aging secret. Maybe that why they say only use it for a short time. i also think that you wouldnt reduce collagen or elastin perminantly just from using a machine for a few times, as its not as strong as a laser, so maybe just stop using it and do your exercise, and Face massage too with oils and follow Nadias advice with diet and it should get better.. I'm going to try stop using my now and see what happens. I also bought a baby Quasar, so will just use that for a while to see if it helps.

Based on my experience - this product is dangerous for home use. BE CAREFUL - YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR SKIN!!!
I don't have many wrinkles (or i didn't use to) but I've noticed my face have dropped a bit giving me a tired look and some expression lines. So I bought the Galvanic Spa II after doing my research (plenty of good reviews from distributors) on internet and having a treatment in a beauty salon.
I used it 6 times in a period of 2-3 weeks, 5 minutes pre-treatment and 5 minutes treatment gel (as per demonstration videos on youtube). The first day my face looked fresh but then it went back to normal again so after few days I repeated the treatment. Having not seeing permanent improvements, I gave it a break of 2 weeks and my face started looking worse. My eyes have dropped, my black circle around the eyes and my expression marks are now more prominent. I can see fine wrinkles around the eyes (which I didn't have at all). People from work keep saying I look tired. I feel I've lost the rest of "freshness" I had on my face.

I'm looking old for a 35 years old (I'm not married, I don't have kids, I have a very healthy diet and I have good genes as my family don't look their age at all).

I sent an email to Galvanic and they replied saying that I had over treated the skin (I should use only 2 minutes and then 3 minutes) and it potentially can have the opposite effect, increasing the lines and wrinkles for a shorter period of time.

I'm very wary of trying it again and make my skin even worse than it looks now.

I think the negatives sides when over using it should be very clear and well explained on their website and youtube videos. One can damage their skin if they use ti more than 3 minutes (up to this date there's nothing on their FAQ explaining the opposite effects when using it wrongly).

'I'm not sure whether my skin will go back to normal. I'm going to see a dermatologist and start some facial exercises routine and hope it will fix my skin. This was a lesson for me (a very expensive one). I'll never try "miracles" again.

Has anyone had similar problem?
AND has anyone have permanent improvements after stopping using it or has your skin gone back to normal after a few days/weeks?

If you overcook them until they are limp and tasteless, it's because many of the good vitamins cook off into the water. Plus they don't taste good anyway. But then you could drink it -- I actually like to drink the broccoli juice (that's what I had tonight.) You could also use it for a soup base if you don't want to drink it. I mean, it depends on the food, sometimes cooking alters it sometimes not, but the main thing is you are EATING a wide variety of brightly colored veggies and fruits to begin with! You still get the nutrients. We learned that the raw food thing is a fad (according to our textbooks) and that cooking food doesn't make all the good nutrients fly away! I think the raw food thing is a lot like having a mild eating disorder, because you limit the foods you are allowed to eat, and you deny yourself things. That's why people lose weight on it, just like any diet where you limit your food to a tiny little group. I don't know...
