What does anaphoresis do?

Anaphoresis is a technique used in electrical facial treatments, where a negative charge is applied to the skin to impact its physiological reactions. This process is primarily designed to drive negatively charged ions into the skin, which can help in various treatments. By stimulating the nerve endings in the skin, anaphoresis enhances blood circulation and can create a mild irritant effect, stimulating the tissues and benefiting the overall appearance of the skin by promoting detoxification.

In contrast, attracting moisture to the skin typically relates to other techniques or products that utilize hydration principles rather than the electrical stimulation characteristic of anaphoresis. Calming or soothing nerve endings is more associated with processes that involve gentle, relaxing treatments like massage or certain soothing products, as opposed to the stimulation caused by anaphoresis. Enhancing muscle tone, often achieved through muscle stimulation techniques unrelated to anaphoresis, doesn't directly pertain to the electrical effects affecting skin tissue.

By understanding that anaphoresis is primarily about stimulating the nerves and skin tissues electrically, the focus on its functional role in enhancing skin treatment becomes clearer.
