What is a positive pole effect during galvanic facial treatment?

• A. Close the pores
• B. Open the pores
• C. Introduce alkaline preparations into the skin
• D. Reduce the skin redness

Answer: (A)

In galvanic facial treatment, the current’s polarity changes the environment right at the skin surface. The positive pole (the anode) creates an acidic area under the skin. This acidity tends to tighten superficial tissues, so the pores appear smaller or “closed.” That tightening effect is why the positive pole is described as closing pores and helping the skin look firmer after treatment.

Opening pores and pushing alkaline products into the skin would come from using the negative pole with an alkaline solution, not from the positive pole. Reducing redness isn’t the defining outcome of the positive pole, since its primary role here is pore tightening through the acidic environment it creates.
