Cataphoresis is the process of fusing an acidic (positive) product into deeper tissues using galvanic current from the positive pole toward the negative pole. In this process, the positive pole, or anode, is utilized to drive the positively charged product deeper into the skin for better penetration and treatment efficacy. Des-incrustation involves using a negative pole to soften and emulsify sebum and debris in the follicles. Iontophoresis involves the use of electrical current to introduce water-soluble products into the skin using a positive charge (anode) for the product with a positive charge.
