Don’t Expect Cucumbers: Or, Why’s it Different
The Iderm Treatment is serious skin care for the serious client who’s looking to take their regimen to the next level. The average “spa facial” focuses on pampering the client through the addition of masks and creams.
Conversely, the Iderm Treatment is all about subtraction; removing impurities, extracting blemish-causing bacteria, and infusing the skin with healthy, water-soluble solutions of vitamins and minerals.

What Results Can You Expect?
The Iderm Treatment is skin detox at its best: You will notice immediately after the first treatment how utterly clean your skin feels. The absence of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells allows light to reflect, giving your skin a younger appearance. Increased circulation provides a radiant glow without makeup. Your skin also holds more moisture, so it feels softer and plumper. For rosacea sufferers, the galvanic current constricts blood vessels and soothes inflammation, thereby reducing redness. For those with acne, it helps unclog pores so that sebum (excess oil) can easily be removed.
Further treatments diminish fine lines, even skin tone, and provide a clearer complexion. Typically, Jody recommends beginning your anti-aging program with bimonthly or monthly treatments.
For troubled skin that needs a bit more attention he recommends one treatment a week for the first four weeks to get your skin to a proper starting point. Maintenance treatments will be further discussed during your first visit after you skin is properly analyzed.
“Just like the gym,” Jody says, “the more you go the better the results — that’s why this treatment is often referred to as ‘The Skin Gym.’ ”

Does the Treatment Hurt?
Generally, no. As with a workout regimen, clients new to the manual extraction process may experience minimal discomfort for a brief period.
As for the ionization process, most people find the galvanic current actually kind of tickles. It’s a low-intensity, adjustable current that is so safe you could use it every day. And because the body itself is electric, some clients find it so relaxing, they fall asleep during this step, while others find it perks them up.
Fun Fact: Galvanic current is also used in the medical arena; the Iderm Treatment is recommended for pre- and post- laser and surgical procedures to boost the healing process.

What is Galvanic Current?
For decades, galvanic current has been applied medically to assist in healing of bone, muscle, ligament and various tissues. Most noted in the early history of electric medical experimentation is Luigi Galvani, who in 1791 was the first person to use electric current. The "Galvanic Current," often used today in cosmetology to drive skin treatments deeper into the skin, is named after him.
-
Is The Iderm® Treatment Safe?
The Iderm® treatment process uses a very low intensity current, a milliamper (1/1000th of an ampere) which is both safe and effective for application to the skin.
