To use the method, you must consult with specialists at the Stoparthrosis clinic and find out about possible contraindications. They will make an accurate diagnosis and help you choose the optimal course. The doctor will explain the difference between microcurrents and myostimulation, and when to use each of these methods.

What is the procedure?

If we talk about what microcurrents for the face are, then this is a physiological procedure that has a lymphatic drainage and lifting effect on the skin. The method is non-surgical, absolutely painless and safe. This technique is especially effective after procedures with active ingredients, since metabolism at the cellular level improves, cells are saturated with oxygen and begin to actively recover.

The essence of the technique is quite simple - using special equipment, the skin is exposed to weak current pulses, which activate metabolism and regeneration. Microcurrents also provide the following:

• normalize intracellular metabolism;
• saturate cells with nutrients and oxygen;
• increase ATP synthesis;
• improve the transport of amino acids;
• normalization of fluid circulation.

Thus, microcurrent facial therapy is a simple and effective method for restoring natural beauty. Often the technique is prescribed after other procedures, for example, laser or chemical peeling.

Important! Microcurrents help the skin recover faster and begin regeneration.

If you are interested in what microcurrent facial therapy is, the reviews can tell you a lot, because most of them are positive. Many clients noted the high efficiency, safety and painlessness of the procedure. If it is carried out by an experienced specialist, then there are no side effects, you can only expect positive results.

The benefits of microcurrents and treatment with darsonval

For more than a hundred years, the procedure for treating all kinds of cosmetic problems with darsonval has been widely known. This procedure has proven itself exclusively on the positive side, which is why it is very actively and quite effectively used in almost all beauty salons and clinics.

And with the progress of constant improvement and development of the latest technologies, humanity has finally received an excellent opportunity to use portable Darsonval devices directly at home.

However, 4 as in everything else, before you start actively using darsonval at home, you need to learn more about the method itself, what contraindications this method has and, in general, what it is.

We usually call Darsonval a specialized device that affects completely different human tissues using microcurrents. Microcurrents, in turn, are high-frequency and pulsed currents that quickly decay. They have relatively little power, but are always under very high voltage.

So, why is it necessary to use the Darsonval device?

It is often used in cases of orange peel or cellulite, baldness, osteochondrosis, the device also helps well in the treatment of insomnia, and undoubtedly, Darsonval is of great benefit in the treatment of skin diseases and other skin problems.

Due to the influence of alternating currents on the human body, the diseases described above are actively treated. When carrying out this procedure, skin irritation also significantly decreases, itching disappears, and burning sensations in the treated areas are relieved.

Treatment with the Darsonval device helps us get rid of many already disgusting problems, for example. Diseases and problems of the human skin are actively cured. For example, cosmetic problems such as sagging skin and sagging are eliminated, almost all wrinkles are smoothed out, and you can get rid of acne perfectly. But are these the only problems in cosmetology and aesthetic medicine? Of course not. Also, the Darsonval device actively helps in the treatment of another very common problem in humanity - baldness. The device also cures well all kinds of neuroses, human sleep disorders, various migraines, and the appearance of cellulite.

There are also contraindications for the use of this device - it should not be used by people who suffer from vascular and heart diseases, who have malignant tumors, or epilepsy. The device should not be used by pregnant women.

Main types of procedures

There are two main types of microcurrent for the face. Each has its own characteristics, advantages and purpose:

• MENS - the effect on the skin is carried out by a current of a certain frequency, mainly on the muscles of the face. Often prescribed during the rehabilitation and postoperative period for faster recovery.
• TENS - a special effect of current is applied to the skin, during which the natural production of collagen is increased. Prescribed for the treatment of seborrhea, acne, wrinkle elimination and rejuvenation.

Indications for the procedure

If you do not yet know what microcurrent for the face is, you need to consult your doctor. Although the procedure is safe and painless, there must still be certain indications and recommendations for its implementation. The main indications are:

• defects in appearance - wrinkles, aging skin;
• bulldog cheeks;
• unclear facial contours;
• pigmentation;
• rosacea;
• Rosacea.

The procedure can also be prescribed before plastic surgery or other surgical interventions, as well as in the postoperative period as rehabilitation.

What are microcurrents and iontophoresis used for?

Here is a list of problems that can be successfully solved using iontophoresis:

1. Young people suffering from oily skin and acne can undergo special galvanic cleansing, the so-called dezincrustace. This type of cleaning is much more gentle than traditional mechanical cleaning. It can be done for a certain circle of people for whom mechanical cleaning is contraindicated. For serious, course treatment of acne, there are various drugs that are very well administered using current.
2. You can successfully solve the problems of moisturizing and nourishing the skin by supplementing or replacing cosmetic masks. In this case, vitamin mixtures, mud and algae preparations, juices and decoctions of plants are used for iontophoresis.
3. High efficiency of iontophoresis in the fight against skin aging. It is quite possible to restore elasticity and remove fine wrinkles if you use preparations suitable for these purposes.
4. There is a whole series of substances that actively whiten the skin. With iontophoresis they are much more effective and give good results.
5. Scars after injuries or the effects of acne can be significantly reduced with the help of special absorbable products.
6. Microcurrent stimulation has a significant lymphatic drainage effect. The functioning of blood vessels improves and excess fluid is quickly removed. In particular, swelling under the eyes goes away well.
7. Iontophoresis is very useful during the recovery period after injuries and cosmetic surgeries. There are not many methods that can be used in the postoperative period, and iontophoresis is one of them.

Contraindications

Like any medical procedure, microcurrents have their contraindications, so it is important to consult a doctor and, if necessary, undergo appropriate examination.

The main contraindications to the procedure are:

• pregnancy and lactation;
• individual intolerance;
• heart pathologies;
• epilepsy;
• oncology;
• infectious diseases of the facial skin;
• injuries and open wounds on the face;
• heart implant.

Advice: Individual intolerance to microcurrents is quite common, but in order to avoid unpleasant and unforeseen situations, it is mandatory to undergo an examination.

Although microcurrent therapy has no age restrictions, it is still not recommended for persons under 18 years of age to undergo the procedure.

Microcurrents for the face. How does microcurrent therapy work?

From a certain age, the facial muscles are imbalanced. The fact is that with age, the muscles of the lower and upper third of the face spasm. As a result, we observe the phenomenon of gravitational ptosis and the appearance of horizontal wrinkles on the forehead. And the muscles of the middle third of the face, on the contrary, are in hypotonicity. As a result, the face loses its shape. Microcurrent therapy has been successfully used to stimulate and relax facial muscles.

This procedure has the following effects:

1. Metabolic processes are normalized. Cells are saturated with nutrients and oxygen. The production of elastin and collagen increases, so the skin becomes elastic and wrinkles are smoothed out.
2. Due to the outflow of lymph, they decrease.
3. Microcurrents have an analgesic and regenerating effect, normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
4. Muscle tone is restored, and this in turn provides an excellent lifting effect.

Some people wonder whether microcurrent therapy or myostimulation is better. During myostimulation, electric current is also used. But there is a different current strength and there is no effect at the cellular level. These are completely different procedures. Like, strictly speaking, disincrustation, or mesotherapy.

Microcurrent therapy is the effect of current on human soft tissues with low frequency and amplitude. This method combines the advantages of electromyostimulation and the effects of galvanic current on tissue. During the procedure, a very soft, gentle contraction of muscle tissue occurs.

Electric currents of ultra-low amplitude and frequency act directly on the cell membrane. The ion channels of the cell membrane are normalized. Thanks to this action, all biochemical processes are improved.

Stages and duration of the procedure

The video that can be found at the end of the article will help you understand what microcurrents for the face are.

Microcurrents for the face are a safe and relatively quick procedure, but when performing it, the following steps must be followed:

1. complete removal of makeup from the face using special products;
2. selection of an ampoule with an active substance;
3. directly carrying out the procedure;
4. healing mask, toning.

The stages may vary depending on the task at hand. The choice of an ampoule with an active substance will also depend primarily on the final desired result.

Microcurrent therapy lasts an average of 15-20 minutes and results can be seen almost immediately. Nevertheless, to achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to undergo a full course of microcurrent therapy - this is 10-15 procedures. Afterwards, it is recommended to visit a cosmetologist and carry out the procedure at least once every two weeks. This approach will preserve the beauty and freshness of the skin for a long time.

What are microcurrents for the face and how long should they be done? There is simply no clear answer to this question. One procedure takes on average 15 minutes, but sometimes it can last 40-50 (for example, to smooth out deep facial wrinkles, 30-40 minutes of microcurrents are required).

How to use at home?

By purchasing a device with several attachments, you can use it in several ways at once (there is an attachment for small areas: eyes, nasolabial lips, etc., there is a slingshot attachment for getting rid of cellulite and varicose veins, for example, there is a comb attachment for hair and head).

The Darsonval device is always accompanied by instructions with a detailed description of the process and a description of the nozzles (each nozzle is intended for a specific area). Small nozzles and the weakest amperage are often used for the most delicate areas with thin skin (the area around the eyes, for example); for the body, a forked slingshot nozzle and high amperage are used.

How often to use? It would be a good idea to start home sessions after consulting a cosmetologist: he will tell you how many times a week you should use the device, for which areas and with what current strength. But we recommend starting with the lowest force and minimum amount of time (from 1 minute for one zone).

Facial microcurrents - is the procedure possible at home?

Microcurrents for the face - what is it at home? This question interests many, especially the fair sex. Microcurrent therapy can be carried out both in specialized salons and at home. The main thing for this is the presence of a special device, which can be purchased at specialized retail outlets at an affordable price.

Advice: If you plan to take a course at home, be sure to first consult with a good cosmetologist in order to avoid all possible problems and unpleasant consequences.

The microcurrent device is simple in design and consists of a small metal stick with branches at the end. Depending on the brand and model, the device may have a single or split head, asymmetrical.

To carry out a home procedure on your face, you must apply a special mask or cream. Such drugs are designed to improve lymph outflow and dilate blood vessels. Drugs for microcurrent therapy must be selected carefully; carefully study the instructions and prescription.

Advice: If you doubt your abilities, it is recommended that you initially take microcurrent therapy training courses in specialized salons.

Professionals will show you step-by-step instructions and tell you all the intricacies of the procedure. Subsequently, you can save a lot on home procedures, since in any case they will cost you much less than regularly undergoing them in beauty salons.

Efficiency of using microcurrents

Microcurrent therapy is a type of physiotherapy used in cosmetology for skin healing and rejuvenation. It is based on the action of a pulsed current of low amplitude (10–1000 μA) and frequency (0.1–500 Hz). Under the influence of electric current, membrane channels open, molecules and ions move, and cell potential changes.

The action of microcurrents dilates blood vessels, improves blood circulation and accelerates metabolism. The synthesis of proteins, amino acids and lipids also increases. Fibroblasts increase the synthesis of elastin and collagen, giving the skin elasticity. The effect on the lymphatic system promotes the outflow of lymph and venous blood, reducing the pastiness of the face, paraorbital zone and improving skin color.

Microcurrents have a lifting effect by restoring the tone of facial muscles without contracting them. The “double” chin is reduced, and the relief of wrinkles in the nasolabial triangle becomes less pronounced. Activation of metabolism promotes the rapid elimination of toxins and the disappearance of acne and seborrhea.

In cosmetology, different types of microcurrent therapy are used:

• Lymphatic drainage improves fluid drainage, reducing dark circles under the eyes and puffiness.
• Microiontophoresis (ion mesotherapy) improves blood circulation, promotes tissue regeneration, reduces scars and tightens pores.
• Disincrustation is carried out using special solutions, leading to deeper cleaning of the pores.
• A neck and face lift will help tighten muscles and get rid of loose skin.

Indications for the use of microcurrents are:

• Treatment of oily skin with signs of inflammation.
• Sensitive and combination skin.
• Hyperpigmentation (freckles, pigment spots and age spots).
• Lymphostasis and edema.
• Alopecia, hair loss.
• Removal and prevention of wrinkle formation.
• Lifting and tightening of the skin of the face, neck, chest.
• Cellulite.

Despite the safety of the procedure, it has a number of contraindications and side effects. Microcurrents are not recommended for persons with the following pathologies:

• Cardiovascular system, artificial pacemaker.
• Mental disorders.
• Epilepsy.
• Skin disease in the acute stage.
• Precancerous processes or skin cancer.
• Disease of the thyroid gland.

The session can be carried out not only in the salon, but also at home if you have the device. Most often, conductive gloves are used, through which current passes. The full course of therapy involves about 15 sessions, with a frequency of 2-3 times a week. To maintain a good effect, repeat procedures are performed once a month.

Microcurrents or myostimulation?

What are microcurrents for the face and myostimulation - which is better? Many people even believe that these are the same procedures, just called differently. In fact, this is not so; these procedures are different, although they have much in common. What is their difference and what to choose?

Myostimulation is a therapy for tightening the skin and eliminating defects, such as scars and deep expression lines. If you simply need to improve the condition of the skin, get rid of fine wrinkles and speed up regeneration, then in this case it is still better to give preference to microcurrents.

The essence of myostimulation is that electrodes are attached to certain points on the face. During the procedure, only these points are affected. Microcurrent therapy is the movement of a device or plates along massage lines, that is, a beneficial effect is exerted on the entire facial skin. According to experts, the effects of myostimulation are more pronounced, but do not last long. Microcurrent therapy has a long-lasting effect.

It is difficult to say which procedure is better; the choice must be made according to the indications and recommendations of the doctor.

Advice: Contact an experienced cosmetologist and he will help you make a choice, prescribe the most necessary procedures and their duration.

Microcurrents or myostimulation: which is better?

Microcurrents are more often used for aesthetic purposes, as they are aimed at the upper layers of the skin. At the same time, electromyostimulation acts directly on muscles and nerve endings. So what is the difference between myostimulation and microcurrents?

Physiotherapist-rehabilitologist Irina Viktorovna Skrypova comments:

It has long been known that human muscles tend to contract when exposed to electric current. The brain sends an electrical impulse to the muscle, causing it to move. Therefore, exposure to microcurrents during myostimulation stimulates metabolism in muscles and tissues, improves blood supply, and triggers recovery processes.

In the narrow sense, microcurrents and myostimulation are not exactly the same thing, although they have a similar principle of action. The former are used mainly for healing the skin, for example, for cellulite, for weight loss, while electromyostimulation is prescribed for the treatment of diseases of the joints and spine, and helps to recover from injury.

Prices for the procedure

Microcurrents for the face - what it is and the price of the service is the most pressing question. The cost of services will depend on the drug chosen and the duration of the course. The city also influences pricing. For example, in the capital, microcurrent therapy will cost you several thousand rubles, in smaller cities - from 700 rubles.

Prices are indicated for one session, and it is recommended to conduct at least 10 sessions, so calculating the total amount will not be difficult.

Still, MTT is considered the most popular and accessible procedure, especially since the positive results last for a long time. Subsequently, it will be necessary to make periodic adjustments. If you want to save money, you can purchase a home device and take training courses. Within a few months the cost of the device will pay off.

Do I need to have sessions with a cosmetologist or is a home device sufficient?

It makes absolutely no difference where you perform your skin treatment procedure. The Darsonval device can be purchased at a regular pharmacy at a price starting from 2000 rubles. The technique of using the device is also not difficult to master. But there are several important points.

There are some contraindications for using the Darsonval device (for example, certain diseases, pregnancy, cosmetic procedures performed the day before, etc.). That is, even if you purchased a home device, you first need at least one visit to a cosmetologist to find out whether this type of problem correction is right for you, as well as a visit to the doctor to determine whether you have any contraindications for the procedure.

Microcurrents - an alternative to plastic surgery and injections?

Don’t think that MTT can become a complete alternative to injections and plastic therapy. It is worth considering that MTT is physiotherapy, which is aimed at maintaining the beauty and youth of the skin. This therapy is suitable for eliminating minor defects, improving the condition and color of the skin. In case of serious problems, it is necessary to undergo a special examination and, perhaps, the doctor will prescribe other procedures or a whole complex.

You should never make diagnoses yourself, much less carry out such procedures without consulting a doctor - this can lead to unpredictable and sometimes very unpleasant consequences.

Instructions for doing it at home (video)

Microcurrent treatment is most effective in a salon, but some devices can also be used at home. You can purchase the necessary equipment in specialized stores. It is also recommended to select special tools for MTT, consult with consultants and undergo short training.

The Gezatone line devices are recognized as the best devices for home use - Beauty Iris m708, Ionic-Ultratonic m365, BioWave m920, Galvanic Beauty SPA.

The algorithm for performing independent procedures is almost identical to those carried out in a beauty salon.

MTT at home consists of the following steps:

1. Facial skin cleansing.
2. Application of a special gel with conductive properties.
3. Use the home appliance in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Rinse off the remaining product and use the cream.

Home therapy, like salon therapy, should be carried out in courses and performed at least 5 times a week.

Contraindications for use

Microcurrent treatment is not allowed for all women. There are a number of strict restrictions on the procedure. These include:

• oncology;
• infectious and viral diseases;
• increased sensitivity to electric current;
• acute inflammatory processes in the treatment area;
• presence of a pacemaker and abnormal heart rhythm.

Microcurrents are prohibited during breastfeeding and pregnancy. If you have moles on your face, this is not a contraindication to MTT. The cosmetologist will simply go around the places where they are located.

Despite the harmlessness of the procedure, MTT can cause adverse reactions. Most often, women complain of a tingling sensation during exposure, the appearance of a metallic taste in the mouth, and allergic reactions.
