During galvanic or blend treatment, the patient is holding which electrode?

In galvanic or blend treatment, the patient holds the anode electrode. This is because the anode is typically the positive electrode in these electrotherapy treatments, intended to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues. When the patient holds the anode, it allows for a flow of current from the electrode through the skin, which is essential for the therapeutic effects intended in such treatments.

Using the anode in this context can enhance the penetration of products into the skin and promote various galvanic effects, such as increased circulation and infusing of serums or other treatments. Understanding the roles of different electrodes helps practitioners effectively utilize these techniques for optimal skin benefits.
