Which statement describes a general effect of galvanic treatment?

• A. Decreased blood flow
• B. Increased blood and lymphatic circulation
• C. Increased hair growth
• D. Tissue dehydration

Answer: (B)

Galvanic treatment works by delivering direct current to the skin, which stimulates the microcirculation and lymphatic drainage in the treated area. This electrical stimulation increases blood flow and promotes lymphatic movement, helping to bring nutrients to skin cells and remove waste products more efficiently. As a result, the general effect described is an increase in blood and lymphatic circulation. It also helps active ingredients in products penetrate more effectively, but the key, broad outcome is the boosted circulation. The other options don’t fit this primary effect: it doesn’t typically reduce blood flow, increase hair growth, or cause tissue dehydration as a general outcome.
