What does cataphoresis do?

Cataphoresis is a process used in esthetics that primarily involves the use of an electric current to drive positive ions into the skin. This technique is often employed for the purpose of calming or soothing nerve endings, which can be particularly beneficial in reducing inflammation and irritation. The application of cataphoresis helps to facilitate product penetration into the skin layers, making it useful in various treatments to enhance relaxation and promote skin healing.

While other techniques may enhance blood circulation, exfoliate dead skin, or hydrate the skin, cataphoresis is specifically recognized for its soothing effects on nerve endings. This makes it a valuable tool for estheticians looking to create a calming environment during treatments or address specific skin concerns like sensitivity or redness.
