Which treatment method involves ion migration?

The treatment method that involves ion migration is desincrustation and iontophoresis. This technique utilizes the principles of electrolysis and iontophoresis to facilitate the penetration of certain substances into the skin.

During iontophoresis, a low-level electrical current is applied to drive active ingredients, which often are negatively or positively charged ions, deep into the skin. This not only enhances the efficacy of the treatment by allowing the ingredients to bypass the outer skin barrier but also helps to improve skin hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin health.

Desincrustation specifically refers to a preparatory step that involves the use of a galvanic current to soften and dislodge impurities, such as excess oil and dead skin cells, from the pores. This process often involves the application of a desincrustation solution that further aids in the breakdown of these impurities, making them easier to extract or cleanse away.

In contrast, other treatment methods listed—such as exfoliation with scrubs, application of wax, and facial steaming—do not involve the use of electrical currents or ion migration. Exfoliation with scrubs primarily relies on physical scrubbing action, while wax application is a physical depilation method and facial steaming mainly
