The use of darsonval in cosmetology. The effectiveness of Darsonval in the fight against facial skin problems. How to use the device at home? Treatment of seborrhea, psoriasis and other skin diseases

The desire for beauty, youth and grooming is natural for a woman, regardless of age. Cosmetology offers many different techniques and methods for this.

Darsonvalization of the face is an independent procedure based on the positive effect on the skin of alternating electric current of high frequency and voltage.

It works as a caring, cleansing, healing and anti-aging technique.

General concept

The procedure is often prescribed as a preparation for plastic surgery, photo and laser manipulation, cosmetic injections and hardware treatments.

1. Basis of the method is a high-frequency current pulse of variable strength.
2. Founder– physiologist Jacques Arsene d'Arsonval, who proved the beneficial preventive and therapeutic effect of electrotherapy.
3. Tool- Darsonval apparatus, invented more than a century ago and named after its inventor.
4. Method technology is based on current generated using glass electrodes of various shapes filled with argon gas or rarefied air.

The device allows you to regulate the strength of the current on the skin. Weak discharges are intended for the care of young facial skin and are almost not felt by a person.

Strong electrical discharges are felt by patients more vividly and are accompanied by a crackling sound. They are used to eliminate signs of aging and for medicinal purposes.

Operating principle

Electric current discharges cause irritation of nerve fibers located in the layers of the epidermis. The response is manifested by tissue drainage and active movement of biological fluids into them.

As a result, the circulation of blood and lymph increases, the nutrition of cells and intercellular structures improves, and deep saturation with moisture and oxygen occurs. The process of skin regeneration is activated, decay and waste products are removed faster.

The therapeutic effect is achieved by an optimal combination of low-intensity electric currents and low-voltage alternating currents.

Indications

A session of darsonvalization of facial skin is carried out after a preliminary medical examination, which excludes the presence of possible contraindications for the patient.

Indications for darsonvalization are:

• acne on the face;
• inflammatory processes on the skin;
• primary signs of aging;
• expression and age wrinkles;
• furunculosis and dermatitis;
• spider veins;
• acne scars;
• cutaneous seborrhea;
• pigmentation;
• psoriasis, eczema, erythema;
• itching and diathesis;
• herpetic rashes;
• enlarged pores;
• decreased elasticity and sagging;
• pale complexion;
• aggressive grinding and peeling methods (as rehabilitation);
• peeling and dryness of the face;
• swelling, bags and circles under the eyes;
• skin damage.

The method is suitable for all skin types – oily, combination and dry. If you have hypersensitive skin on your face, you should consult a specialist about what mode and power of exposure are acceptable.

Contraindications

Despite all the advantages, the darsonvalization procedure has a number of contraindications. Electric currents can aggravate tumors and cause exacerbations of chronic diseases.

Contraindications:

• benign and malignant tumors;
• tuberculosis;
• bleeding;
• hypertension;
• mental and psychological illnesses;
• rosacea;
• excess facial hair growth;
• heart problems;
• hormonal abnormalities;
• increased body temperature;
• skin hypersensitivity;
• the presence of open purulent discharge on the skin.

Darsonvalization is strictly prohibited in children under 6 years of age, during pregnancy and lactation, and in case of individual intolerance to electrical discharges.

Efficiency and benefits

Externally, the body’s positive reaction to electrical discharges manifests itself as follows:

• cauterizing anti-inflammatory effect;
• suppression of the activity of microorganisms on the surface of the skin;
• expansion of capillaries and improvement of blood supply to tissues;
• increased blood and lymphatic microcirculation;
• eliminating congestion;
• improving skin color and quality;
• smoothing the skin texture;
• increasing local and general immunity;
• activation of metabolic processes in the epidermis;
• normalization of the functioning of the endocrine glands - sweat and sebaceous;
• restoring the natural balance of moisture and elasticity of skin tone;
• penetration of beneficial substances and medications into the deep epidermal layers.

Electrical treatment is carried out continuously and in courses with breaks between them of a month or two. The physiotherapeutic technique of darsonvalization is carried out in salons and beauty salons, Suitable for use at home.

Flaws

The effectiveness of the darsonvalization method can be assessed after completing the full course of procedures. Carrying out single sessions does not make it possible to see the full picture of the results of using electric discharges.

Each person is an individual, so sensitivity to the device will also be personal. A negative post-procedural reaction of the body is also quite acceptable.

The main components of successful treatment are consistency, consistency and regularity!

Stages of implementation

The main direction of darsonvalization of the face is the elimination of skin defects, blemishes and imperfections. Subject to skillful use and compliance with safety rules, current therapy is carried out in the salon and at home.

Preparation

For the facial darsonvalization procedure, dry and clean skin is required. The patient sits comfortably in a cosmetic chair or on a couch, the surface of the face is treated with a special lotion to clean, degrease and dry its surface.

A cosmetologist can treat the skin with antiseptic powder or regular talcum powder to facilitate the sliding of the electrode.

Darsonvalization itself

The movements of the device’s nozzle follow the pattern of facial massage lines, without touching the area around the eyes and lips.

This is how the natural movement of blood and lymph occurs under the skin. Areas of skin scarring, wrinkles, tissue compaction and scars are subjected to more thorough treatment.

In the area of ​​acne accumulation, the formation of wounds and cracks on the skin, the specialist can withdraw the electrode to the required distance, change the power and mode of exposure.

Used to combat imperfections spark discharge, leading to renewal and healing of the skin.

Contact (silent) method

This technique is based on direct contact of the device’s attachments with the patient’s skin. A mushroom-shaped glass electrode is moved over the face in a circular motion in the direction of the massage lines.

During this process, only pleasant sensations arise - warmth and light pressure on the skin. The session lasts 15-20 minutes, the procedures are repeated every day or every other day.

Non-contact (spark) method

This manipulation occurs at a distance of 1 to 4 mm from the surface of the facial skin using an electrode of a more elongated shape - sheet or rod-shaped.

The spark effect is accompanied by burning and tingling sensations, at times a glow appears and a crackling sound is heard. You shouldn't be scared!

As a result of current discharges with special frequency and voltage characteristics, ozone and nitrogen molecules are formed, having a powerful antiseptic effect on the skin.

The resulting spark has a cauterizing effect on the skin; it stops open wounds, pustules and areas of inflammation.

Maximum effectiveness is achieved by competently combining both methods of influence.

The face is divided into zones, depending on the type of problem and how to solve it. Each area is treated with a special nozzle with an individual selection of modes in accordance with the health of the patient’s skin.

Final stage

The facial treatment lasts for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 20 minutes, then the cosmetologist washes off the talc and applies a cream that moisturizes, nourishes and soothes the skin after the procedure.

The specialist is required to disinfect all items before and after working with each client individually.

To achieve a sustainable visible result, the course should be at least 15-20 sessions in a row. The procedures are repeated every day, the interval between them can be no more than one day.

Find out how darsonvalization is carried out from the video.

The skin of the face responds well and quickly to the darsonvalization method. This is manifested by an external improvement in the appearance and quality of the epidermis.

Inflammation and acne gradually disappear, pigmentation disappears and tone evens out. Small wrinkles are smoothed out, and deep-lying wrinkles become less noticeable.

An additional bonus of the procedure is a reduction in headaches, general muscle and emotional relaxation, normalization of mood and sleep.

Possible complications

Proper use of the Darsonval apparatus is the key to health and beauty for many years. During the procedure, the person should not wear metal-containing jewelry or objects, causing discomfort or pain.

A preliminary consultation with a doctor will reduce the risk of side effects from the use of electrotherapy in a salon and at home.

The procedure may provoke:

• irritation and redness of the skin if excessive power of the device is used;
• allergic reaction with an individual negative response to electric current;
• increased growth of facial hair, as the hair follicles are intensively nourished;
• the emergence of new cosmetic problems due to illiterate actions of a specialist;
• pressure surges if the patient suffers from hypertension;
• uterine tone and congenital anomalies of the fetus, if the technique is carried out during pregnancy;
• proliferation of tumors, transformation of benign neoplasms into malignant ones due to the effect of current on the body;
• deterioration of health, migraine, stroke, fainting, bleeding, due to increased blood circulation - general and cerebral.

Before carrying out the procedure, you should be 100% sure that there are no contraindications to darsonvalization!

Number of sessions

This is both a medical and cosmetological physiotherapeutic method. For a woman, it is a good addition to daily care.

A visible effect is achieved only with a course of using the technique. One course consists of 10-20 sessions, repetition should be carried out no earlier than after one month.

By the 6-10th session, a stable positive result is observed on the face. Neglected conditions and problems are eliminated by the constant use of the darsonvalization technique.

Consolidation of the results obtained and maintenance of youth and beauty of the skin occurs through annual preventive courses.

Prices

A darsonvalization session in a salon for 10 minutes will cost the client from 200 to 2000 rubles, depending on the popularity and location of the establishment.

The cost of the procedure is calculated based on the level and scale of the cosmetology clinic, the degree of professionalism of the specialists, the cosmetics used and the quality of the equipment.

If additional products and drugs are required to treat and rejuvenate the skin, this will increase the cost.

Parallel manipulations and services (cleaning, peeling, mesotherapy, massage, masks and others) also lead to an increase in the price of visiting a salon or beauty studio.

Use at home

Having experienced the beneficial effects of salon darsonvalization, many women decide to purchase the device and carry out the procedure themselves.

The cost of the device varies from 2000 to 4000 rubles, depending on the functional attachments available in the arsenal and its power.

The main components of the Darsonval apparatus:

1. Current generator, creating electrical impulses of specified parameters. Voltage from 2 to 15 kV, current - 0.02 mA, pulse duration - 100 μs and its frequency - 50 pulses/sec, carrier frequency - from 100 to 125 kHz.
2. Transformer, allowing high voltage to be applied to the electrodes.
3. Set of glass nozzles, intended for various areas of prevention and treatment. There are from 4 to 8 pieces.

Electric current waves affect the epidermis at several levels at once - on the surface and deep inside.

The operation of the device is accompanied by the emergence of medium-intensity electromagnetic and ultrasonic radiation, which has an additional positive effect on the skin.

Contact superficial manipulations are necessary for young women to maintain a fresh and well-groomed appearance.

To enhance the effect, the nozzle is removed from the surface of the skin, to a maximum distance of 8 mm. This method is practiced to eliminate defects on the face, as well as to combat aging in mature and older women.

Types of facial attachments:

1. Petal and T-shape needed for massage and lifting of the skin of the face and body.
2. Drop nozzle Used topically to treat acne, scars, scars and herpes.
3. Mushroom shape It is widely used not only on the face, but also over the entire surface of the body.
4. Tube-shaped nozzle necessary for targeted targeted treatment - acne, spots, freckles, scratches, ulcers.

Cosmetology at home is possible! Models of the French companyGezatoneare the most popular portable Darsonval devices.

Models “KARAT DE-212”, “SPARK ST-117”, “Ultraton” and “Ultratech SD-199” are considered the most popular on the Russian market.

The device for local darsonvalization "CORONA" is classified as premium medical equipment.

How to use at home:

1. All metal objects are removed from the body and head.
2. The face should be cleaned of makeup and dirt and wiped dry.
3. The nozzle and operating mode of the device are selected, the electrode is wiped with alcohol.
4. General impact. The electrode should move along the massage lines - from the middle of the forehead, nose and chin towards the ears. Exposure time is from 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Zonal impact. In the required areas, the nozzle rises above the surface of the face by 2-4 mm. Electrical treatment lasts another 5-10 minutes.
6. Upon completion of the procedure, the skin should be cleansed again.
7. After darsonvalization, it is useful to apply a nourishing mask or moisturizing emulsion; at this time, the skin absorbs all the components of cosmetic products well.

You can use the Darsonval device at home every day or every other day for 25-30 sessions. Repeating the home course is recommended after 2-4 months.

Combination with other cosmetological methods

1. The compatibility of darsonvalization with mechanical cleansing is ideal - it must be done at the very end to soothe, relieve inflammation and better restore the skin.
2. Vacuum or manual facial massage and Darsonval are completely combined.
3. A mutually reinforcing effect is achieved by combining darsonval, SPA procedures, applying medicinal cosmetics and masks that do not contain acids or alcohol.
4. The Darsonval procedure is not carried out on the same day as a mesoroller; the most successful scheme is mesotherapy once a week, electric current the rest of the days.
5. You cannot combine current therapy and ultrasound on the same day.

In medicine, the effectiveness of darsonvalization in the complex treatment of a large number of diseases has been proven. And cosmetology is no exception. Thanks to darsonvalization, you can remove shallow wrinkles and unevenness, improve the condition of facial skin, get rid of acne, tighten the oval of the face, normalize the functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands, and also improve hair growth.

How does darsonval work and can we expect the described effects from this procedure?

Darsonvalization involves exposing tissue to pulsed modulated high voltage currents. As a result

• microcirculation improves,

• stimulates reparative and trophic processes in tissues, normalizes the function of the sebaceous and sweat glands, tissue oxygenation,

• bactericidal and analgesic effects appear.

The predominance of one or another effect depends on the applied method of influence - contact (silent discharge) or remote (spark discharge).

When contact the electrode comes into contact with the skin, and the therapeutic effects of the currents are realized in the superficial tissues.

During spark discharge the electrode is placed above the surface of the skin, and the effects are realized both in superficial tissues and at a deeper level.

With both methods there is a pronounced bactericidal effect.

In achieving the set goals, they play an important role

• initial skin condition,
• the advisability of prescribing darsonvalization in each specific case,
• as well as its combined use with other procedures.

Indications in cosmetology:

• infiltration on the skin, pustules (pustules);
• decreased skin tone;
• porous, oily skin;
• age-related skin changes (flabby, aging skin with decreased turgor);
• congestion, lymphostasis;
• seborrhea;
• hair loss.
• after vacuum, disincrustation, disincrustation.

Darsonval device for the face: application

The darsonval apparatus is a cosmetic physiotherapeutic device for darsonvalization. It consists of a generator and a transformer (in one block) and special glass electrodes-nozzles filled with compressed air.

The electrodes have different shapes: comb-shaped, stick-shaped, mushroom-shaped, etc. Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed of cosmetics and impurities, and degreased with tonic.

With the contact method, darsonvalization is sometimes carried out using talcum powder (for oily skin).

Although some experts believe that talc, on the contrary, contributes to clogging of pores and the formation of comedones.

The procedure for dry skin is carried out using cream, sometimes after a mask.

At the end of the session, a moisturizing or nourishing cream is applied to the skin.

Darsonval for face against wrinkles

To increase skin elasticity To prevent the appearance of new wrinkles in sagging, aging skin, contact methods are used. The mushroom-shaped attachment is moved smoothly, without pressing, with light circular movements across the skin in the direction of the massage lines.

To achieve a lifting effect the electrode is moved over the skin, without touching it, along the massage lines, forming a narrow air gap between the skin and the electrode of about 5 mm.

Subjectively, patients note sensations in the form of tingling, “biting”, and subsequently a short-term redness of the skin.

Darsonval for acne and problem skin

If there are large inflamed elements in large quantities on the skin of the face, then first use a remote point technique. The wand nozzle is placed directly above the element at a distance of about 5 mm and held in this position for about 10-20 seconds at high voltage - a spark discharge is created, which has a cauterizing and bactericidal effect.

As the inflammation dries and resolves, a contact technique can be performed using a mushroom-shaped attachment. This will reduce the likelihood of relapses and prevent scarring.

If there are a small number of inflamed elements, first use the contact method without touching them, and then change the nozzle and treat the inflamed areas using a pinpoint method. Course up to 10-15 sessions every other day.

In order to reduce oily skin, use a mushroom-shaped attachment, the movements of which are made in the directions towards the ears from the nose and from the center of the forehead. In this case, the tip of the nozzle is installed at an angle to the surface of the skin so that one of its edges is adjacent to the skin, and the opposite edge is 3-5 mm away from it.

Darsonval at home

A considerable number of people use such a device at home.

Before purchasing a Darsonval device, you should definitely consult with your doctor to find out whether the procedure is indicated for you or not, how necessary it is, and what other methods are available that can solve your problems.

Among the devices on the market:

• Darsonval Gezanne,
• Gezatone BT-101,
• Gezatone Family Doctor,
• ELAD MedTeCo, Corona,
• Ultratek.

The instructions supplied with the devices explain in detail and clearly how to use Darsonval at home. The principle of the technique is the same as described above. Don’t forget about contraindications that you should always pay attention to.

The procedure is contraindicated if

• pregnancy;
• heart rhythm disturbances, severe heart failure, implanted pacemaker, severe hypertension;
• tuberculosis;
• epilepsy;
• blood diseases;
• bleeding, thrombophlebitis;
• hypertrichosis, hirsutism;
• hysteria and other acute mental conditions;
• oncological diseases;
• hyperthermia (increased body temperature);
• intolerance to electric current.

Is darsonvalization effective?

Only after a full course of darsonvalization can its effectiveness be assessed. It is necessary to constantly, repeatedly undergo courses of procedures to preserve and maintain the achieved results.

Indeed, as a result of the use of darsonval, the number of rashes and comedones decreases, the secretion of sebum decreases, the pores narrow slightly, and the surface of the wounds dries out. For greater effectiveness, professionals combine darsonval with other procedures.

Side effects:

• A tingling sensation during the procedure.

• Enhancing vellus hair growth on the face (rarely found). In such a situation, do not treat the chin area and above the upper lip with Darsonval. After the cessation of exposure to currents, these phenomena go away on their own, and if not, then you need to consult a doctor - this may be due to hormonal imbalance.

• Headache, weakness, weakness. If these symptoms recur repeatedly after the procedures, then darsonvalization is not suitable for you.

• Skin redness, burns. Rarely, but they happen when the procedure is not followed, the device malfunctions, or cosmetics containing acids, alcohol and substances incompatible with UV radiation are used immediately before the procedure.

• Worsening existing health problems. Carrying out procedures in the presence of contraindications (often the existence of which some “home craftsmen” do not know or even suspect) can cause irreparable harm to one’s health.

Darsonvalization of the face is a cosmetic procedure based on the effect of alternating electric current on the skin. It can be used as an independent procedure or in combination with other influences and manipulations. For example, not a single cleaning can be done without this procedure.

Now, increasingly, local darsonvalization has begun to be used as an anti-aging procedure, which can not only remove wrinkles, but also relieve “in passing” a number of other health problems, such as headaches, fatigue, poor complexion, etc.

How it works

During the procedure, tissues are exposed to electrical impulses, which lead to the following changes:

• capillary tone decreases, which promotes better blood circulation in tissues and increased outflow of venous blood;
• lymphatic drainage improves, which promotes the removal of cell metabolic products and excess fluid;
• the functioning of the nervous system is normalized, pain is reduced, and mood improves;
• facial muscles relax;
• metabolism and energy inside individual cells improves, which contributes to faster rejuvenation of the cellular composition.

All these processes occur in tissues simultaneously and over a long period of time, which ultimately leads to improved skin condition, reduction of swelling and bags under the eyes, smoothing of facial wrinkles, and increased skin elasticity.

At what age can you start?

Procedures can be performed starting from the age of 6 years. Darsonval helps children recover faster from colds accompanied by cough and sore throat. During puberty, you can use the device to get rid of acne and minor inflammations on the face.

Indications

Darsonval can be used in the following cases:

• the presence of small wrinkles, especially facial wrinkles or associated with the presence of habitual muscle tension (in the area of ​​the bridge of the nose, for example, when there is a habit of frowning, or rays around the mouth, when there is a habit of pursing one’s lips);
• dull, sallow complexion;
• decreased tone of facial muscles, especially in cases where the face looks haggard as a result of chronic lack of sleep or overwork;
• for acne, acne;
• prevention of the appearance of new rash elements on the face after the cleansing procedure;
• removing redness of the skin after any manipulation of the face (cleansing, for example, or massage).

Contraindications

The procedure should not be performed in the following cases:

• with rosacea and the presence of dilated capillaries on the surface of the skin;
• during pregnancy;
• presence of a pacemaker;
• epilepsy and any conditions characterized by increased convulsive readiness (for example, in the acute period of traumatic brain injury);
• intolerance to electrical procedures;
• tumor processes of any localization;
• infectious diseases (tuberculosis, for example);
• Excessive facial hair growth.

Facial darsonvalization procedure

• Preparatory stage.

Before the procedure, the face must be washed to remove dirt and makeup. There should be no creams or oils on your face. To make the electrode glide over the skin more easily, you can apply a thin layer of talcum powder to your face.

If you don’t want to wash your face again after the procedure, you can use powder or carry out darsonvalization on a dry thin paper napkin. If you are concerned about acne, you can use special Baneocin powder. You can buy it at the pharmacy.

• Actually darsonvalization.

First, you need to place the electrode on the skin and begin to gradually increase the power, focusing on whether there is any sensation or pain. Having selected a comfortable power for yourself, you can begin the massage.

During the procedure, the power can be changed both upward and downward. The quality of the procedure will not suffer from this.

If the procedure is carried out for age-related changes in facial skin, against wrinkles and to increase skin elasticity, then the contact method is preferable. In this case, the electrode does not come off the skin and does not give loud and noticeable discharges.

To get rid of acne and prevent their reappearance, a remote method is suitable, in which spark discharges will fall on the areas of inflammation.

Regardless of the chosen technique, the massage is carried out along the skin lines with additional treatment of problem areas.

• The final stage.

Talc is washed off the face with water. A cream or emulsion is applied to the skin.

What results can you expect?

The skin responds very well to the darsonvalization procedure: redness and inflammation disappear, skin tone increases, and its color improves. Small wrinkles are gradually smoothed out, and facial contours are improved due to increased tone of facial muscles. An additional effect is a reduction in the frequency and intensity of headaches, relaxation during and after procedures, and normalization of sleep.

How many times a year should I repeat the courses?

Typically, breaks between individual courses of 10-15 procedures should not be less than 2-3 months. It will be enough to conduct 1 course every six months.

Update: October 2018

Darsonvalization refers to physiotherapeutic methods of therapeutic effects on the body. In essence, treatment with Darsonval is electrotherapy with alternating pulsed current.

The founder of darsonvalization is the French physiologist D’Arsonval. He devoted almost his entire professional activity to studying the effects of alternating currents on the human body.

In 1891, it was first proposed to use high-frequency currents for therapeutic purposes. Subsequently, D’Arsonval’s technique was improved and received its current name in honor of its discoverer.

Before using any physical therapy treatment, you should consult your doctor. It is recommended that anyone who is planning to buy a similar device for home use or attend salon procedures with Darsonval carefully weigh the pros and cons of the technique and be sure to consult a doctor, preferably a physiotherapist, about how much you need these procedures and what risks they carry. Our article is about the benefits and harms of Darsonval, indications and contraindications, instructions for using this device.

How effective is darsonvalization?

The effectiveness of darsonvalization can only be assessed after completing the full course of procedures; intermediate results, both positive and negative, are uninformative.

The reaction of each organism to Darsonval is individual, and it is possible that the existing situation may worsen - every person should understand this, and in beauty salons, workers are obliged to warn about a possible negative reaction to the physiotherapy procedure.

The effectiveness of Darsonval is confirmed by its constant use, i.e. One course over a lifetime will definitely not restore youth and health, and will not clear up chronic foci of infection.

How safe is the use of Darsonval - possible harm to health?

Darsonval is a targeted effect on the human body of several physical factors simultaneously, which are aggressive in nature and significantly affect the physical and chemical reactions of the body. And in principle, “harmless” currents and radiation do not exist; all this is unnatural for the body and is stress.

Darsonval poses the greatest danger in terms of the factor that provokes either the degeneration of benign tumors into malignant ones. Often a person does not even suspect that he has such a pathology, which then suddenly appears without any warning signs. Before deciding on such treatment, you need to be examined by doctors as much as possible (see).

Inept handling of the device can easily lead to burns, discoloration of the skin and aggravation of existing problems.

The list of contraindications given below according to the instructions for use of Darsonval is by no means arbitrary. This means that exposure can significantly aggravate and aggravate the course of existing pathologies. But the beneficial effect of the procedures is not obvious, since it is not observed in everyone or is short-lived.

The use of Darsonval is contraindicated for the following diseases and conditions

What is the Darsonval apparatus?

The modern Darsonval device, of which there are many variations on the market for similar products, is a compact-sized physiotherapeutic and cosmetic device for carrying out darsonvalization. The attached instructions for Darsonval clearly and in detail explain how to properly use this device at home.

Darsonval devices include: a generator, a transformer and electrodes. Electrodes, otherwise called Darsonval nozzles, can be of different shapes depending on the purpose - mushroom-shaped, comb-shaped, elongated, T-shaped.

How to use homemade Darsonval?

The device involves both contact and non-contact effects on a certain part of the body. Both therapeutic directions are characterized by a pronounced bactericidal effect. To obtain the desired effect, it is necessary to carry out about 10-12 procedures.

When exposed to contact, the Darsonval electrode moves directly over the skin, creating a so-called “silent discharge”. Contact local darsonvalization is indicated for correcting problems of aging skin, combating cellulite, improving hair growth, treating varicose veins, etc.

During non-contact exposure, the electrode moves above the skin at a distance of 1-10 mm, a “spark discharge” is formed, which is felt in the form of a slight tingling sensation. The technique is justified in the treatment of neuralgia, pain, hematomas, wounds, etc. You should not use the device for serious diseases without first assessing the benefits and harms of Darsonval in each specific case.

Preparation for the procedure

• Immediately before the procedure, an appropriate electrode is installed, pre-treated with alcohol and dried, after which the device itself can be brought into working condition.
• Skin and hair should be clean and dry.
• Do not apply alcohol- or acid-containing cosmetics to the affected area, as this can cause burns.
• Compositions that are not compatible with UV radiation should not be used.
• Any jewelry containing metal should be removed from the body.
• During the procedure, you must limit yourself from contact with other people to prevent electric shock.

Darsonval for hair

Before darsonvalization of the scalp, the hair must be freed from all metal objects and combed.

Hair treatment with Darsonval is carried out with a special attachment in the form of a comb, which is used in slow movements, starting from the forehead and ending with the back of the head. At the same time, the hair seems to be combed back. The power of exposure gradually increases until a slight tingling sensation appears. One procedure takes about 10 minutes, the course of treatment is 20-25 sessions with daily repetition.

The Darsonval device for hair growth is justified with regular, course use with repetition of procedures 3-4 times a year. The effect is very good, hair grows noticeably faster. After the procedure, it is good to rub various masks and serums into the hair roots to stimulate their growth.

Darsonval for the face against wrinkles and acne

Wrinkles

Before the procedure, the facial skin is cleansed of cosmetics and dirt and dried; a special talcum powder or cream can be used to enhance the effect. Using a mushroom-shaped attachment, light, pressure-free circular movements are made over the skin - from the nose to the ears, from the forehead up to the hairline, from the eyes to the temples, from the top of the face to the chin, from the collarbones up the neck to the chin. Do not apply to thin skin of the eyelids. The intensity of the current gradually increases until a feeling of warmth is felt. The duration of exposure is from 5 to 20 minutes, daily or every other day, the course is about 20 procedures. Darsonval for the face against wrinkles is recommended to be used continuously, 3-4 courses during the calendar year.

Lifting

The skin is prepared in the same way, but the electrode is passed above the skin, maintaining a distance of 5 mm. After several procedures, the opposite effect is possible - the skin condition may worsen. However, you should not be afraid of this, since the skin’s reserve capacity for regeneration is activated, and after 5-7 procedures, your facial skin will delight you with a fresh and toned appearance.

Pimples and blackheads

Treatment of acne and acne with Darsonval, especially multiple ones, is recommended only within the walls of beauty salons or medical institutions. The procedure requires precise movements, which is difficult to do on your own face.

The face is cleansed of dirt and makeup and dried. Initially, the inflammatory elements are cauterized with a sharp nozzle using a strong current supply in a non-contact manner. Then, using a flat nozzle, the entire face is treated using a contact method, avoiding severely inflamed and suppurating elements. The procedures are carried out daily or at one-day intervals, for 2-10 minutes, the course of treatment is 10-15 sessions.

In the presence of a large number of inflamed elements of significant size, only targeted remote darsonvalization is used without treating the entire skin, and short, up to 10-15 seconds for each element at high voltage. Once the inflammation begins to dry out and resolve, contact treatment with a mushroom tip can be used to prevent scarring and acne recurrence.

Salons often use various medicinal formulations (serums, lotions, etc.), which are applied to the skin before the procedure and allowed to absorb and dry. It should be remembered that these liquids must not contain acids, alcohol or substances incompatible with UV radiation.

Darsonval for the face against acne is also used to degrease the skin. The mushroom-shaped electrode is moved along the massage lines of the face (from the chin, nose and center of the forehead to the ears) so that one edge of the electrode touches the skin, and the second is raised by 3-5 mm. At the same time, a slight tingling sensation is felt. This treatment must be carried out every other day for 7-10 minutes per procedure. The course consists of 10-15 sessions, and after a two-week break, treatment of the skin directly against acne begins.

Treatment of the skin against propionic bacteria that cause acne is indicated: treatment of the affected skin with a mushroom-shaped nozzle at a distance of 3-5 mm. This creates ozone, which creates an unfavorable environment for bacteria to thrive.

Before describing the instructions for using Darsonval, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the operating principle of this device.

The action of current helps improve blood circulation and metabolic processes, helps narrow blood vessels, increase the level of leukocytes, eliminate purulent deposits and hematomas. There are 2 types of exposure to current on the skin: spark (non-contact) and contact method. In the first case, the device is kept at a short distance from the skin, and the patient may feel a tingling sensation in the area of ​​the face where Darsonvalization is performed. This method promotes the resorption of hematomas and purulent accumulations, disinfection and anesthesia of wounds and abrasions, as well as accelerating the healing process. The contact method is based on direct contact of the device with the dermis of the face. This method is used to treat wrinkled and problematic skin, increase its elasticity, and also improve the activity of the subcutaneous glands.

To treat facial skin, choose the method that corresponds to the existing problems. Before using Darsonval, be sure to undergo a special examination that will help you make sure that this procedure is safe.

As a rule, the Darsonval device has several attachments for treating various skin problems. We will discuss below what tools should be used to eliminate a particular dermatological ailment:

1. “Drop” nozzle - suitable for the treatment of acne, warts, pimples, spider veins, etc. Due to its shape, the nozzle acts on the inflamed element pointwise, without affecting the healthy surface of the skin.
2. “Mushroom” attachment - used to smooth the dermis and eliminate wrinkles. Thanks to its shape, the nozzle gives the skin firmness and elasticity, and the “Mushroom” also helps improve the condition of problematic and oily skin. The electrode for using this attachment can be of any size.

These 2 attachments are used to treat problems that occur on the facial skin. Also, the standard Darsonval kit includes 3 more attachments:

1. The “Fork” attachment is used to firm and cleanse the skin in the chin and neck area. It is also actively used to eliminate cellulite on the legs and arms.
2. “Comb” attachment - it is used to improve the condition of the hair, namely to rid the pre-root zone of the head of dandruff and treat hair loss.
3. “Petal” attachment - used to treat and eliminate dermatological problems in hard-to-reach places invisible to the human eye (ears, chin, nose, etc.).

When purchasing Darsonval for use at home, be sure to pay attention to the number of attachments in the kit and the presence of exactly those tools that you need to treat and eliminate your skin ailment.

In order for the home use of Darsonval to be useful and not cause harm to your skin, we recommend reading the instructions, which will protect this procedure and make it as effective as possible. We have listed the stages of Darsonvalization below:

1. We cleanse the face of cosmetics, dust and sebum residues. Let the skin dry or dry it with a soft, clean towel. You can also perform a light facial massage, superficial peeling or apply a film mask.
2. Sprinkle the areas that you plan to treat with Darsonval with talc or lubricate with a special cream with a non-greasy texture.
3. We treat the desired nozzle with alcohol, let it dry and insert it into the Darsonval, and connect the device itself to an outlet.
4. Each individual attachment requires an individual scheme of action on the dermis in different directions and a regulated amount of time (read about this in the instructions for Darsonval).
5. After Darsonvalization, wash your face with your usual cosmetic product and let the moisture dry. Then treat the dermis with the cream you use daily.

Types of skin problems and device attachments

• To eliminate wrinkles, use the “Mushroom” attachment, movements should be smooth and not forceful, you should start from the nose and move the device to the ear area, draw a line from the eyes to the temples, from the forehead to the chin along the cheekbones, from the neck to the chin, expose the skin century the action of current is prohibited. The duration of such a procedure should be no more than 5 and no more than 20 minutes. A full course of Darsonvalization to eliminate wrinkles consists of 20 procedures. Such courses should be conducted at least 3 times a year.
• Treatment of acne and pimples with Darsonval is best done in medical institutions, because This procedure requires precise movements and a certain skill. If you decide to treat the inflamed elements yourself, then you will need 2 attachments - “Drop” and “Mushroom”. We cauterize pimples, herpes, blackheads, and ulcers using a non-contact method using the “Drop” nozzle, and then apply it over the entire face with a flat nozzle or “Mushroom” nozzle (areas of the face with a cluster of ulcers cannot be exposed to the flat nozzle). If there are a lot of inflammatory elements on the skin, then perform only targeted darsonvalization with the “Drop” attachment. The duration of the procedure is from 3 to 10 minutes, a full course is no less than 10 and no more than 15 procedures.
• The “Mushroom” attachment will help get rid of oily shine and excessive sebum production from the dermis. We pass these instruments from the nose, chin and forehead to the ears; one side of the device should touch the face, the other should be at a distance of 3-4 mm from it. To treat the described problem, Darsonvalization must be carried out for 7-10 minutes, the course is 10-15 sessions.
• To tighten the skin, use the “Mushroom” attachment. The distance of the device from the face should be at least 5 mm. You need to conduct at least 5 sessions. After several procedures, the condition of the skin may worsen, do not worry - this is a normal process during which the epidermis activates reserve capabilities for renewal and regeneration, after 5-7 procedures the effect will be obvious.

To avoid possible complications, read the instructions for Darsonval and follow the recommendations given for each specific nozzle. Do not neglect the time of exposure of the current to the skin and move the device over it with arbitrary movements - this way you can get burned and aggravate existing dermatological problems.

How to avoid the unpleasant consequences of using Darsonval at home on the face?

To eliminate possible negative consequences, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the tips listed below:

1. In order to exclude the possibility of electric shock, remove all metal jewelry (earrings, brooches, chains, bracelets, rings, piercings, etc.).
2. All manipulations must be carried out with clean and dry hands.
3. Do not treat your skin with alcohol or alcohol-containing lotions and tonics - this can cause skin burns.
4. During the procedure, you should not come into contact with other people and electrical devices.
5. Buy Darsonval only from well-known manufacturing companies. Please pay attention to the presence of instructions, certification and other documents permitting the sale of the device in our state.

These simple tips will protect you from the possible harmful effects of current and will bring only positive effects from the procedure. If you have never used Darsonval for cosmetic purposes before, then it would be reasonable to carry out 3-5 procedures in a medical facility under the supervision of a doctor or cosmetologist. If the device does not have the desired effect or has a negative impact on the condition of your skin and health, then refuse to purchase this device and ask the doctor performing Darsonvalization to advise you on an effective remedy for treating the ailment you have.
