Is is Possible for Galvanic Facials to Cause Nerve Damage?
asked 1 year ago by judypaintrlady in Oregon
Question viewed 227 times
Tags: nerve damage, numb, pain, shock
I personally got "shocked" in the left temple area 3 years ago after using the Galvanic Spa on that side of my face for the first time. Never had a negative reaction on the right side. After getting "shocked" a couple of times at the left temple, I discontinued using the device altogether.
While washing the gel off my face, the entire left side "felt" numb, and I got zapping sensations that traveled around the left surface of my scalp, plus shooting pains in my left ear and eye.
