Their Promises and My Hopes:
Remember the promos of Nu Skin for Christmas that included the Galvanic Spa?
Well, I was one of those people who plunged right in and bought the new Galvanic Spa because I was so lemming for it for almost a year! Well, what is this product, anyway? Nu Skin describes it as:
Expand your home spa experience. Rejuvenate your complexion, revitalize your scalp, and refine your body with professional spa treatments—no appointment necessary. You’ve seen the results on celebrities and supermodels—but in the real world, who has time for a visit to a day spa? If you forgot a visit to a day spa because it can be time-consuming or costly, you may be missing out on the remarkable health and beauty benefits of spa treatments. Now you can bring more of the spa experience home with the patented Galvanic Spa™ System II. Small, smart, and powerful, the programmable Galvanic Spa™ II Instrument with patented self-adjusting galvanic currents and interchangeable heads—for the face, scalp, and body—works synergistically with specially formulated products to facilitate the transport of key ingredients for optimal performance. Your radiant complexion, fuller, healthier looking hair, and improved appearance will leave people wondering how you find the time.
With three heads, it could mean that you can use it for your hair (using the Nutriol treatments ), your body ( cellulites, byebye thanks to the Body Shaping Gel ) , and the face (using the pre treatment and treatment ampules ).
Well, I haven’t tried the tools for the hair and the body because I was too preoccupied with my face. I have been told that this tool does wonders, and is a must-have for travel. I have the initial ampules for the face free, and the treatment gels are described as:
Works to restore skin’s natural vibrancy by removing impurities and promoting cellular energy. When your complexion looks tired and stressed, a spa facial can provide the revitalization you need, but who has the time? Exclusive patented technology allows you to achieve spa results at home in just 10 minutes with the Galvanic Spa™ II Instrument, Face Conductor, and specially formulated facial gels. Galvanic Spa™ Pre-Treatment Facial Gel helps remove impurities so your pores can breathe while Galvanic Spa™ Treatment Facial Gel revives and invigorates tired skin by promoting cellular energy.
Wow, exactly me. Did they just describe me? I guess so. My skin has been stressed for decades ( okay, I’m exagerrating, I’m not THAT old! Hahaha! I’m barely two and a half decades old! hahaha! ) Well, it sure felt that way, so I think I needed some luxurious spa treatment at home.
Thinking about buying the Galvanic Spa. Still happy with it?
Hi Jeri you might want to take a look at this website, most ppl seem to be very amazed about the results but there are two negative response: be careful if you have fair complexion skin, and one said her face looks great but the next day she had even more wrinkles showed up on her cheeks

I tried it once on my own face, they told me to stop when the machine beeps but I have a very sm. face and I still have a lot gel left on my face when I stopped. I’m not sure if that’s why it didn’t work wonder on me for that ONE TIME. I’m looking to try it again though :)
u made me tempted to get one too….
btw…how do i get one of this spa device and the price, please
Hi, I’m not in the business but have a galvanic spa. Was really sceptical in the beginning but not anymore, it definately reduces rinkles after one treatment on literally everybody I’ve tried on.! Probably not going back to this site but email me if you want with any questions.! info@johannaashley.com
I think you can get on from http://www.nuskin.com
Contact me, I recently started selling the NuSkin galvanic spa. It is amazing and it really does work.
This DEFINITELY works…I was starting to get “jowels”…and have this system. I started using it 2xday and wow, what results. And well here’s the secret…You don’t have to spend all the money on the “required oils/gels”….It works its best with Loreal’s Collagen Remodeler! No kidding The electrode thing with the remodeler cream works even better than the gels that came with it. I found the magic that worked for me, but then again, it can work differently with anyone. Our bodies and chemistry all are different.
But I kid you not, get at least the Galvanic Spa II item, and find out if what comes with it works for you or other creams. It’s a stimulator of muscles, and it truly works if combined with with right creams or gels that work with your system. For me, it was Loreals’ Collagen Remodeler that worked with the Nu Skin…Perfect combo.
Just purchased one 11/08. Used it twice so far, can see a difference. Will let you know later after more use.
yeah – please tell what do you think about it – it would be great to put your comments in the post too
Hi, am considering buying the Spa for home use.Have read the link given above by Annie re-a negative result for a couple of users. Anyone else with sensitive/fair skin had a problem? I really want to try it but am nervous.
I actually went to a presentation and was so amazed by the results that I joined as a distributor, without trying it. I have been suffering from Acne for about 15 yrs and have tried EVERYTHING out there from medication to prescriptions and nothing has worked. I have only used the Galvanic twice and noticed a difference in my face. I also purchased their Acne Line which I was extremely surprised that it did not irrate my skin. So far no breakouts!!!
hi! im a partner of NUskin.. if any one is interested u may send me a message. we can do demos if ur hesitant about the product.. we also have this money back if it doesnt work 2 u…

Hi, i recently googeled Galvanic spa and found a great diagram of how to use the spa ie. directions to use machine for specific target areas. However, i did not save the site and cannot refind it. Can you help me?
Does it take away, or lighten stretch marks?
I read Mara’s comments and I was wondering if she used the Loreal’s Collagen Remodeler with the one fountain or two? I’m not sure when it is putting good stuff into your skin because of the negative and positive currants that Nuskin talks about. Also did she use some gel over the collagen? I have one but I’m not sure what to do with it when I don’t use the Nuskin products that are so expensive. If anyone has some answers please let me know.
Linda,
If you join as a distributor for Nu Skin (which cost nothing) you can get the products at 30% off retail price.
I also bought the spa but the gels are breaking the bank. There has to be other products out there that will work, problem is finding “positively” and “negatively” charged products. Hopefully, someone will come out with something much less expensive. I’ve been using it for six months. My skin tone and pores are much improved, but I still have lots of wrinkles around my eyes. My rep says to “just keep using it, it will work”…but I think it’s to keep me buying the gels!
Hi Linda, I was wondering which setting to use it on too! I have read on another blog that a beautician uses water-based creams in place of the expensive gels.The thing is i am nervous of trying them incase they have an adverse effect! I must ask which ‘fountain’ they use it on.
My skin tone definitely improves after a use but like others, i still have fine lines, infact i wouldn’t be suprised if i am noticing more now!!! Maybe because i am looking closer!
I am a highly skeptical person but after seeing before and after photos of people including the woman who sold me the Galvanic Spa II I figured why not. With a money back guarantee, what did I have to lose? I bought the spa in August 08 and used it at least twice a week as recommended along with the gels, spot line corrector and body gel. I did before/after photos and only applied it to half of my face. Initially I thought there seemed to be a little improvement around the eye and kept using it, sometimes three days in a row. But after 2-1/2 months I was not convinced it had made any noticeable difference. I voiced my concerns to my rep and she confirmed I was doing it right and made a couple of suggestions which I followed. I asked a few people who did not know I was using the product to look at my face and see if they saw any difference between the two sides. No one noticed anything. When I told them I had done half my face and asked them to guess which one they said they couldn’t tell. I took a new photo and sent it along with my before image to my sales person but did not say which side I had treated. I got a call from her uplink who confirmed I was doing it right and eventually said that she could tell a difference but never said which side of my face she thought I had treated. Then she tried to talk me into purchasing a new product they’d been having great success with. I had to go so I left it at that for the moment thinking all the while that I still had a money back guarantee but when I contacted my original rep she said they would not give me my money back. No explanation. I’m not giving up that easy but I can tell you this is the last time I ever buy anything from an MLM company! I realize that not every product will work for every person but I do expect the mfg to stand behind their product. Including the expensive gels that I went through I’m out about $500.
so far im satisfied with the results. just used it 3x, will still continue.
I've had mine for 2 weeks now and it is working great. I've done my face 4 times and I can tell a huge difference. I did one of my hands and everyone I asked picked the correct hand. While my sister was up from FL I did her face 2x and she couldn't believe the difference. I didn't get mine to sell to other folks and make money so I don't care about that end of it.
Hi Carol
I have a galvanic spa and currently use it within my massage spa and charge for galvanic spa facial and also for a 1 hour massage plus galvanic spa…so they are getting whole face done and not half like i did..which sold me on buying one…question is how could i advertise it to have more people see the real difference..i was thinking of having a special on a 1 hour massage plus free half face facial…dont laugh ..but my clients are guests at a resort where i look after 200 rooms and once they have their holiday and massage they leave and go home so wanting to better my distributing to them,,,any help would be much appreciated..hoping this all makes sense
many thanks

I have not started using Nuskin yet. My concern is what happens when I quit using it? I was told that you can use distilled water for phase I skin care and any kind of moisturizer you want for phase 2. Anyway, I noticed one person quit and said that they looked worse than before. Makes me wonder. Any comments?
Thank you for passing on the information about using distilled water and a moisturizer as alternatives to the expensive Galvanic Spa (GS) gels. I haven't bought the GS yet, but I tried it last night on my face and this morning on my body. Actually I think the results on the cellulite dimple on my right thigh were the most impressive. I've been using Athena products for 2 months (7-Minute Lift, etc) and I think Athena is more effective for reducing face and neck lines, but a friend offered to let me try her GS so I did. I'll probably buy it just for my 'dimple', now that I know alternatives to the GS gels. Thank you :)
