Which type of current is commonly used during scalp and facial manipulations?

The use of sinusoidal current during scalp and facial manipulations is favored because it provides a gentle, alternating current that is effective in enhancing blood circulation and promoting relaxation in the facial and scalp tissues. This type of current is characterized by its smooth and consistent wave flow, which can stimulate muscle contractions, enhance product penetration, and improve the overall appearance and health of the skin.

In contrast, galvanic current is a direct current that can be used for specific purposes such as iontophoresis, but it does not have the same relaxing and uplifting effects associated with sinusoidal current. Faradic current, while useful for muscle stimulation, is often more intense and can be uncomfortable, which makes it less suitable for facial treatments. AC (alternating current) is a broad classification that encompasses many types of currents, but it does not specify the beneficial characteristics that sinusoidal current provides in the context of facial and scalp manipulations.
