Microcurrent device for face

Effect of microcurrent therapy devices

Microcurrent therapy devices are special devices that apply weak pulsed currents to the skin. The lymph flow is stimulated and the work of muscle fibers increases. Blood flow also increases, the walls of blood vessels are strengthened, and oxygen flows more easily to the cells.

Unique therapy devices consist of electronic housings and electrodes (movable, stationary). During the procedure, a current passes through the tissues of the human body between oppositely polar electrodes (round or pear-shaped). It is the flow of current that leads to the following positive aspects:

1. ion channels open;
2. metabolic processes within and between cells increase;
3. conditions for the production of elastin, collagen, and dermal regeneration are improved.

As a result of therapy using the device, microstimulation of muscles and vascular networks is carried out, and lymph outflow is enhanced. The procedure for exposure to microcurrents for the face at home is as follows:

1. cleansing the face of cosmetics, applying a special conductive agent;
2. carrying out the procedure itself;
3. applying a suitable cosmetic product.

A noticeable cosmetic effect will be achieved if the procedure is repeated regularly. The frequency of therapy depends on the existing problems. The course is determined individually. It consists of one to three sessions per week, its duration is 6 to 14 weeks. After this, it is enough to perform preventive actions once a month.

The effect of using a facial device with microcurrents

You can use a facial device with microcurrents to great advantage at home. Before carrying out therapy, it is important to make sure that there are no contraindications (it is better to consult a doctor). The cosmetic procedure itself is absolutely painless, has no side effects, and does not require a recovery period after it.

Therapy is prescribed to people of different ages and genders for skin care. Thanks to modern devices, it is possible to stop the appearance of signs of aging and eliminate many defects.

Microcurrents for the face: what is it, features and benefits of the procedure?

Microcurrents for the face - what is it? This issue is of interest to many women who have been using electrophysical procedures for rejuvenation for many years.

Methods using electric current have recently enjoyed enviable popularity. Thanks to them, women can get rid of skin defects and restore a healthy appearance to their face.

Microcurrents for the face, a general idea of ​​the procedure

Microcurrents for the face are a special type of physiotherapy, the main goal of which is to rejuvenate the skin using pulsed current, which has an extremely positive effect.

This effect is based on weak pulsed currents, whose characteristics are in many ways similar to the electrical impulses of the human body.

The soft, delicate effect of microcurrents at the cellular level leads to a significant improvement in blood microcirculation and acceleration of metabolic processes.

In addition, it has a beneficial effect on the vascular system, muscles, and subcutaneous fatty tissue. The result of this influence is:

1. normalizing the electrical charge in cell membranes;
2. ATP synthesis increases many times (by 500%) and amino acid transport (by 30-40%);
3. blood microcirculation becomes better, which means that all the required nutrients and oxygen will be delivered to the cells faster;
4. cellular regeneration, synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin proteins occurs at a faster pace;
5. changes also occur in the muscular lining of the blood vessels - its tone noticeably increases. But with permeability, on the contrary, a problem arises; it decreases. As a result of this, lymphatic outflow increases, toxins and metabolic products are quickly removed from the cells.

These procedures are carried out on special devices that generate current. This is done using electrodes of various shapes and structures.

Such procedures are especially useful for aging skin.
Due to the fact that the alternating current parameters are insignificant, the procedures are not addictive and each session is perceived by the body as something new and useful.

How is microcurrent therapy performed?

The effectiveness of microcurrent therapy has been tested by time. In addition to the fact that electrochemical processes in cells are normalized, this method helps to maintain the further functioning of cells.

Microcurrent therapy can be performed in two ways:

1. The first method involves cleansing the skin before the session and applying a guide base (cream, gel or tonic will do). After this, for each individual you need to select the intensity of the electrode action and the procedure starts. The cosmetologist spends at least half an hour performing rotational movements on the skin of the face with an electrode. The session ends with the application of gel or cream. This is necessary so that the skin calms down and is protected.
2. The second method differs from the previous one in that before starting all actions, a special thermal mask is applied to the skin of the face, on top of which a film is distributed. The cosmetologist performs a special massage with his hands, which are worn with gloves with electrodes built into them and connected.

These sessions do not differ significantly, with the exception of the type of microcurrent therapy, the technique used by the specialist and the features of the device models.

You can see firsthand how the microcurrent therapy procedure works in the video below:

6-7 days before the microcurrent procedure, it is necessary to exclude protein foods from the diet.

During the sessions, it is recommended to give up alcohol, smoking and drinking coffee, and try to get more rest.

Duration of the course (taking into account age)

The results obtained last for about 6 months. It all depends on the characteristics of the patient’s skin.

To achieve a positive effect, it is worth taking the course. Basically its duration is as follows:

1. Young girls under 30 years of age. Use for prevention. The course does not last long.
2. Women under 40. Often cosmetologists prescribe about 5-6 sessions, which should be carried out once every 7 days.
3. Ladies under 50 years old. The course increases to 8-12 manipulations. They need to be carried out at intervals: once every 3 days.
4. Women after 50 years. The duration of the course is determined by the doctor. 1-2 days between sessions is enough.

Types of microcurrent therapy

Cosmetology salons offer more than one type of procedure of this kind. You can choose any one. The most popular are:

1. lymphatic drainage;
2. reprogramming of facial muscles;
3. microcurrent lifting of the skin of the face and neck;
4. microiontophoresis;
5. disincrustation.

Microcurrent lymphatic drainage is based on the process of releasing excess fluid from tissues. After 22 years, blood flow in the facial skin leaves much to be desired, and fluid stagnates in the interstitial space.

Here, an accumulation of cell waste products occurs, which leads to damage to facial tissues. Lymphatic drainage copes well with this problem, eliminates circles, and removes swelling under the eyes.

Reprogramming the facial muscles aims to restore nutrition and tone of the facial muscles. This is a brilliant alternative to Botox. As a result of the influence of microcurrents on the epidermis, the muscles completely relax.

Thanks to neck and face lifting carried out using microcurrents, you can expect to get rid of wrinkles and sagging skin, in addition, the tone of the facial muscles will noticeably increase.

But this procedure also has the disadvantage of high stimulation activity. Using conventional equipment, you can encounter certain problems - deepening of facial wrinkles and exacerbation of neuritis.

Electrodes should not be placed in the area of ​​the heart, blood vessels of the neck or eyes.

Ionic mesotherapy is one of the most intensive procedures performed using microcurrent. Therapeutic sessions have a positive effect on pores, relieve swelling and scars.

The skin of the face is rejuvenated. During mesotherapy, no deformation or damage to tissue occurs; other procedures using microcurrent cannot boast of this.

Thanks to microcurrent, amazing results can be achieved in cosmetology practice. This becomes possible thanks to:

1. stimulation of tissue nutrition and hydration;
2. restoration of the correct functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands;
3. stimulation of local immunity, which leads to the prevention of the development of inflammatory processes;
4. the porosity of the skin decreases.

An unusual, but already very popular method, has a number of advantages. The procedure is painless, no rehabilitation period is required. The effect is maintained for at least 3 months.

The result of the technique is impressive - the complexion becomes fresher, puffiness goes away, and the tone of the facial muscles increases.

Indications for microcurrent facial therapy

Before deciding to conduct a restorative microcurrent procedure, you need to know in what situations such sessions can and should be carried out.

INDICATIONS

1. the appearance of numerous acne and rosacea;
2. sagging skin;
3. development of dermatosis and atopic dermatitis;
4. the appearance of facial wrinkles;
5. presence of pigmentation or earthy complexion;
6. increased muscle tone;
7. persistent damage to skin vessels;
8. the presence of stretch marks and scars;
9. aging and very dry skin;
10. swelling of the face.

Microcurrent therapy is the only hardware technique used both to prepare the face and body for plastic surgery, and for the purpose of successfully completing the rehabilitation period.

Microcurrent treatment in combination with other cosmetic procedures can only have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin.

Contraindications for the procedure

When conducting microcurrent facial therapy, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of each organism and take into account the presence of certain ailments in a person.

Not everyone is allowed to use microcurrents. There are also contraindications that you need to be aware of.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. pregnancy;
2. breastfeeding period;
3. individual intolerance to microcurrents;
4. oncological diseases and the presence of benign formations;
5. severe thrombophlebitis;
6. a condition when there are serious pathologies of internal organs;
7. recently suffered a heart attack, stroke;
8. seizures (especially epilepsy);
9. the presence of metal objects (meaning pacemakers, pins in bones);
10. recently undergone chemical peeling of the face.

Microcurrent therapy should not be performed on people with mental illness, alcoholics or drug addicts.

If contraindications have been taken into account and the patient does not have them, then the risk of unpleasant consequences is reduced to zero.

If you experience discomfort during manipulation, you should ask the doctor to reduce the intensity of the currents.

Microcurrents and microstimulation - what's the difference?

Many women confuse concepts such as microstimulation and microcurrents, although these procedures are completely different. Each of them is based on the effect of current.

However, microcurrents simply penetrate deep into damaged areas of the cell, stimulate their restoration, and accelerate metabolic processes. In this case, muscle contraction does not occur.

With microstimulation, the current causes the facial muscles to alternately contract and relax.

Microcurrents or microstimulation, which is better, is determined by a specialist for each specific case.

Microcurrent therapy at home - myth or reality

You can purchase devices used for microcurrent procedures and perform cosmetology sessions at home.

The result of the procedures depends on the quality of the chosen device, so you should not save money when purchasing equipment for conducting microcurrent.

Among the most popular models of microcurrent devices are the following:

The device was made in France. Compact, convenient. The amplitude of the energy impulses ranges from 1.3 to 12 V. Thanks to this, it is possible to perform the procedure of toning the facial muscles. $30-40 NuFACE

Manufactured in America by the company of the same name, the device has two conductive heads and operates from a built-in power supply. The device is equipped with an intelligent sensor, whose task is to independently select a skin care program. $150 Ionic-Ultratonic m365 Gezatone

The device is produced in France. Has the ability to generate mono and bipolar electrical impulses. Excellent for electrophoresis and microcurrent facial massage. $60

First of all, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer. Popular brands are more expensive, but they are of good quality and more reliable, as evidenced by numerous customer reviews.

For use at home, a device with a frequency of 1 to 300 Hz and an electronic pulse strength of 20 to 800 μA is quite suitable.

Using microcurrents on the face on dry skin is very harmful, so a special gel must be used.

An experienced master will not only tell you, but also demonstrate how the skin should be treated, and also advise how long to do it.

Additionally, you can watch videos on relevant topics. It is important to avoid excessive care, because it is harmful to the same extent as its lack.

We recommend visiting a cosmetologist to learn all the rules for carrying out the procedure at home.

Cost of microcurrent lifting

The price for one session depends on the type of service and can range from 1200-1500 rubles.

To achieve a confident result, you need to undergo 8-12 procedures with an interval of 2-3 days. After this, it is enough to conduct a maintenance session once every 4 weeks.

Microcurrent therapy is one of the unique modern methods used in cosmetology to restore the firmness and elasticity of facial skin.

If you look at the photo before and after the procedure, you will notice a significant difference - the skin becomes tightened, healthy and youthful, acquires a healthy color and radiance.

Expert opinion

Anna Avaliani

practicing cosmetologist

Microcurrents can be used at any age. If at the age of 20 a girl is faced with some problems that microcurrent therapy can help solve, there are no prohibitions. This procedure is useful for increased dryness or, conversely, oily skin, the appearance of comedones, rosacea.

Alison Pontius

plastic surgeon

I advise you to spend about 8-12 sessions. Sometimes even more or fewer procedures are required. In each case, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the person. This manipulation is useful for swelling under the eyes and rosacea. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that you should not carry out the procedure if there are any metal particles in the treatment area (for example, braces). There is no need to prepare for microcurrent therapy.

Reviews

EKATERINA, 37 YEARS OLD, VORONEZH:

“I heard a lot about microcurrent therapy, but I didn’t believe it, I was skeptical. I'm used to not trusting anything. A friend is familiar with this procedure firsthand; she has long been trying to persuade me to join her, and I succumbed.

I want to say that, contrary to all expectations, I was satisfied. I tried ionic mesotherapy. The skin acquired a healthy appearance and glowed with youth. I'll definitely go again."

OLGA VIKTOROVNA, 33 YEARS OLD, VOLGOGRAD:

“I have experienced the use of microcurrent myself more than once. I want to say that after the first course of treatment I was delighted with the result. Radiant skin, bags under the eyes decreased, wrinkles smoothed out.

By the way, the effect lasted for 3 months. The second course no longer had the same effect. The only thing I really like is that the bags under my eyes are reduced after visiting the salon.”

MARINA, 40 YEARS OLD, ENGELS:

“The effect of microcurrents is amazing! It’s so nice when people around you compliment you that you look several years younger! I took one course and will definitely repeat it again.”

ALEXANDRA, 30 YEARS OLD, ROSTOV-ON-DON:

“I tried the microcurrent therapy procedure in the salon, I liked it. However, you often don’t go to salons, so I bought a device and now I will conduct such sessions for myself at home.”

MARINA ANDREEVNA, 39 YEARS OLD, MOSCOW REGION:

“I am 39 years old and I am currently undergoing microcurrent therapy. Already 7 procedures are over. I like! The skin is no longer so flabby, it looks healthier and more toned.”

Modern cosmetology does not stand still and offers more and more effective and safe methods to eliminate various skin problems. One of them is microcurrent therapy (MTT), a method that allows you to improve the condition of the skin without surgery.

What is microcurrent for the face

MTT is a physical therapy intervention called neuromuscular microcurrent stimulation. Current pulses of varying depths penetrate all layers of the skin, and, if necessary, reach muscle tissue.

How they work

For the procedure, weak, pulsed currents in the range of 10-600 μA are used, which are absolutely safe for humans. They have a gentle effect on the body without causing discomfort.

Unlike other types of electrical procedures, mitrocurrents affect all aged and damaged areas and restore them at the cellular level.

A number of contraindications

Microcurrent therapy is considered a safe type of physiotherapy, however, there are cases when it is contraindicated. The effect of microcurrents on facial skin is not recommended in the following situations:

1. during pregnancy;
2. exacerbation of chronic diseases;
3. diseases of the cardiac and vascular systems, including if the patient has a pacemaker;
4. diseases of the nervous system accompanied by seizures;
5. if the client has previously suffered a heart attack, stroke, or oncology;
6. with increased sensitivity to the effects of electric currents;
7. if there is a piercing on the affected area;
8. if a person suffers from an acute infectious disease with a deterioration in general condition and fever;
9. with a tendency to thrombus formation processes, thrombophlebitis, embolism;
10. with collagenosis.

This video will tell you how microcurrent facial therapy is carried out in the salon:

In what cases is MTT recommended?

Microcurrents help in solving various cosmetic problems, including those affecting the skin of the face:

1. with their help, the oval of the face is corrected;
2. wrinkles are eliminated and their appearance is prevented;
3. overly sensitive skin receives complete care;
4. with the help of microcurrents, the skin of patients is prepared for plastic surgery, and they are also used in postoperative therapy;
5. included in the complex treatment of acne and post-acne, rosacea, rosacea;
6. treat hyperpigmentation, including photoaging;
7. improve the structure of sagging and aging skin.

Such a broad impact allows the use of microcurrent pulses as independent or auxiliary therapy.

Advantages and disadvantages

The microcurrent therapy procedure refutes the well-known saying that beauty requires sacrifice. In fact, microcurrents can improve the condition of the skin without pain or unpleasant consequences:

1. the event is safer compared to other methods;
2. the device is easy to use;
3. in most cases, the procedure does not cause unpleasant or painful sensations;
4. the method is non-invasive;
5. microcurrents can be combined with other cosmetic procedures;
6. Even regular exposure does not provoke addiction.

Thanks to microcurrent therapy, you can get rid of most skin problems that darken your life: rashes, wrinkles, dryness, comedones. In addition, the impulses provoke the body to produce natural fibrillar protein - collagen.

The procedure has few disadvantages: first of all, it has a number of contraindications, and in addition, the resulting result must be maintained.

Types of procedures

There are two types of microcurrents:

1. MENS - affects muscles with current pulses of special frequency;
2. TENS - has an effect on the nerve roots, stimulating the production of collagen.

The most commonly used microcurrent procedures are:

1. disincrustation - professional, gentle cleaning of pores from dirt, sebaceous plugs, recommended for owners of problem skin;
2. reprogramming facial expressions - restores tone and improves nutrition of facial muscles;
3. microcurrent lifting - increases the tone of the muscles of the face and neck, eliminates wrinkles;
4. Ionic mesotherapy is the most intense among microcurrent procedures; it is used not only to rejuvenate the skin, but also to smooth out scar tissue and eliminate swelling.

Each of the procedures has its own characteristics, but all of them are aimed at improving the condition of the skin and even deeper layers of tissue.

Carrying out in the salon

The microcurrent procedure consists of 4 stages:

1. Initially, the face is thoroughly cleaned, removing makeup and impurities.
2. Then, the cosmetologist selects the active substance of a suitable concentration.
3. Apply current pulses to the prepared area.
4. Finally, special creams are applied to the skin to enhance and maintain the result.

The maximum duration of the procedure is 40 minutes.

Features of the procedure at home

To normalize the structure of the skin, a stimulating procedure is performed. The electrodes are moved towards each other, or the passive electrode is held, and the second one is directed towards it with smooth movements.

The current strength varies within 20-40 µA at a frequency of no more than 10 Hz, the session duration is a maximum of 25 minutes.

Touches in the eyelid area should be especially gentle; you need to hold the electrode at one point for 5-6 seconds.

Features of microcurrent therapy are discussed in this video:

Microcurrent machine

The most effective procedures are those performed using professional devices. But, there are special devices suitable for use at home.

Their effectiveness is lower than that of salon ones, but they still provide good results and are easy to use.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a suitable microcurrent device?

1. the advantage is the presence of automatic programming;
2. is it possible to choose the depth of exposure to current pulses;
3. power source - batteries or AC adapter;
4. whether the device is multifunctional or has only one function;
5. Is there a special product included in the kit?

An important criterion is the strength of the pulses; it is desirable that it be in the range from 20 to 800 mA, at a frequency of 1-300 Hz. All devices have specific application features, but there is a general algorithm for carrying out the procedure:

1. The skin is cleansed of cosmetics and impurities, degreased;
2. A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area;
3. A microcurrent procedure is carried out (according to the instructions in the instructions);
4. After the event, the remaining gel is removed;
5. It is recommended to relax and lie quietly for 20-30 minutes.

To consolidate the result, you can apply restorative compositions to the skin - cream, milk or lotion. If a pulse frequency of 20 Hz is used to work with the body, then for the face it is better to reduce this figure to 5-10 Hz.

What results can you achieve?

Microcurrents have a positive effect on the dermis, and sometimes muscle tissue, and it is noticeable to the naked eye:

1. the skin becomes softer and more hydrated;
2. the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands is normalized;
3. the effectiveness of local immunity increases, protecting tissues from inflammatory processes;
4. the skin gets rid of enlarged pores and acne;
5. complexion improves;
6. swelling subsides;
7. bags under the eyes and blue discoloration disappear;
8. mimic wrinkles become less noticeable, tissue tone increases.

What side effects can you expect?

Physiotherapy using microcurrents is highly tolerable, however, the risks of negative reactions still exist:

1. the appearance of signs of individual intolerance or allergies;
2. slight tingling during the procedure, metallic taste in the mouth;
3. the appearance of flashes before the eyes when pulses are applied to the eye area.

Such manifestations, for the most part, are easily eliminated and are not dangerous to health.

How often to carry out

The positive aspect of microcurrent therapy is that the result will not be long in coming. Improvements are noticeable immediately, even after one session, especially if there are significant skin changes.

Reviews

“In our family, almost all women suffer from dark circles under the eyes. Initially, I didn’t try to fight them, thinking that nothing could be done. But later, when I turned to a cosmetologist, I found out that you can get rid of them with the help of microcurrents, and after completing the course, I made sure of this.”

“On the recommendation of a colleague, I went to the salon - I needed to improve my complexion and reduce swelling under my eyes. I didn’t think that such a simple, painless procedure could achieve such results! I’m happy, I recommend it to everyone and they are thinking about purchasing a device for physiotherapy at home.”

Conclusion

Microcurrent therapy is a new word in cosmetology, a unique method that gives people health and beauty. But to achieve a good result, a competent approach and adherence to certain rules are required.
