Current strength: darsonval for the face from wrinkles

Someone blames smiles and laughter for their appearance. Someone believes that wrinkles are born due to anxiety and stress. But absolutely everyone wants to get rid of them as soon as possible. Will microcurrent therapy – darsonval for the face help to escape from wrinkles?

Does darsonval help wrinkles

Darsonval, or rather darsonvalizer (a device for cosmetic procedures and physiotherapy) is familiar to many. Outwardly, it looks like a glass tube through which weak current pulses are supplied. And if earlier it was used only in medical institutions (for example, for the treatment of varicose veins, fibrous cellulite or alopecia), now there are models of darsonval for the face, which are used both in beauty salons and at home. With their help, everyone (unless, of course, there are contraindications) can:
  • improve skin tone;

  • improve complexion;

  • reduce the number of pimples, blackheads, pustules.

But most often darsonval is used against wrinkles. According to our experts, it corrects nasolabial folds, large wrinkles on the forehead, and fine wrinkles around the eyes (however, darsonval should be used very carefully in this delicate area). Since the skin will look better, positive changes will be very noticeable.

Options for using darsonval for facial rejuvenation

Before proceeding with the use of the device, we will figure out whether it is suitable for everyone. Like any physiotherapy procedure, darsonval has contraindications. For facial rejuvenation in cosmetology, it is not used:
  • if there are serious diseases of the heart and blood vessels (including arrhythmia);

  • with epilepsy, tuberculosis, oncology;

  • during pregnancy and lactation;

  • with any skin diseases – psoriasis, rosacea, dermatitis, as well as with excessive growth of facial hair.

And even if you don’t have any of this, before using darsonval for face lifting, it’s better to consult a doctor – he will select the procedure (contact or non-contact darsonval), the duration and number of sessions.

After darsonval, the skin will become better and brighter, wrinkles will decrease.

Contact

How to use darsonval for wrinkles? There are two ways – contact и contactless. With contact, the glass nozzle glides over the skin, improving blood circulation and cellular metabolism. During the session, you feel a pleasant warmth. Contact darsonval is most often used in order to increase the firmness and elasticity of the skin, reduce mimic wrinkles, with its help you can try to slightly tighten the oval of the face, get rid of the second chin and jowls.

Contactless

During this procedure, the device does not touch the skin, acting on it from a distance of 2-5 mm. The nozzle conducts current, a slight crackle is heard, and you feel a slight tingling and burning sensation. Non-contact darsonval has a powerful antiseptic effect, so it is often used to combat small pimples, pustules, blackheads.

How to use darsonval for wrinkles

Here is a detailed diagram of how to properly use darsonval for the face in order to reduce the number of wrinkles.

Prepare

Before the procedure, all metal jewelry (earrings, piercings, etc.) is removed. The nozzles are disinfected, and the skin of the face is cleaned with micellar water or lotion.

Procedure

When using darsonval for mature skin, in order to properly affect wrinkles (if there are a lot of them and they are deep), both methods are combined – both contact and non-contact. A session in the salon, as a rule, lasts 15-20 minutes. And the number of procedures is determined by the beautician.

Pain sensations should be excluded: if they are, it is necessary to say about it and interrupt the procedure (at home, as an option, you can try to reduce the voltage in the device). A slight tingling, a tolerable burning sensation is acceptable, but nothing more.

If you combine procedures with cosmetics, the result will be more noticeable.

Completion

After the procedure, the beautician applies an anti-aging cream or serum – according to Maria Nevsky, they enhance the effectiveness of the impact by accelerating the metabolic processes in the epidermis and the reaction of the skin to the components of the product.

If you are doing the procedure at home, you can use one of these remedies. According to the editors of Healthy-Food, they are one of the most effective.
