Faradic is an interrupted direct current that has a frequency of 50:100Hz with a pulse duration from 0.1-1MS. This frequency and duration cause contraction and relaxation in innervated (nerves intact) muscles.

When do we use Faradic current?

Faradic currents have higher intensity than microcurrent stimulation. It is suitable for firming and toning body muscles. The current is a low-frequency alternating milli-amperage current delivered in a series of short pulses a few milliseconds in length.

What type of current is galvanic?

Galvanic, or direct current, is a form of electrotherapy treatment. The electrical current, rectified to a safe, low-voltage level is applied to the body via electrodes placed on the skin. Galvanic current is usually applied by a qualified professional, via a machine in their clinic.
