Facials — Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
What we foundTreatment
CautionGalvanic FacialAlso: iontophoresis, desincrustation, galvanic current
Why, and the source — Galvanic Facial

While an overactive thyroid is not yet under control, your body is already running hot and fast — a raised heart rate, a low tolerance for heat, sometimes a tremor. Treatments that add heat, that stimulate with electrical currents, or that ask you to lie still for a long stretch are the ones to approach carefully: a heated treatment can tip heat intolerance into feeling unwell, and staying still for two hours is harder than it sounds when your heart is racing. None of this is permanent. Once you are on treatment and your levels have settled, most of it becomes straightforward. In the meantime, tell your therapist, keep sessions short and cool, and stop if you feel your heart pounding. If your eyes are affected too, that is thyroid eye disease and it has its own rules for anything done near the lashes.

While an overactive thyroid is not yet under control, your body is already running hot and fast — a raised heart rate, a low tolerance for heat, sometimes a tremor. Treatments that add heat, that stimulate with electrical currents, or that ask you to lie still for a long stretch are the ones to approach carefully: a heated treatment can tip heat intolerance into feeling unwell, and staying still for two hours is harder than it sounds when your heart is racing. None of this is permanent. Once you are on treatment and your levels have settled, most of it becomes straightforward. In the meantime, tell your therapist, keep sessions short and cool, and stop if you feel your heart pounding. If your eyes are affected too, that is thyroid eye disease and it has its own rules for anything done near the lashes.
