Who needs darsonval for hair
Darsonvalization is a physiotherapeutic method of strengthening and transforming the scalp, as well as hair follicles, due to the principle of exposure to alternating high-frequency current pulses.
The Darsonval device is effective for very serious problems, in particular, hair loss. One of the causes of baldness in both men and women is insufficient supply of micronutrients and vitamins to the follicles, as a result of which blood circulation is disturbed. When using the device, its weak current discharges dilate blood vessels and normalize the condition of the hair follicles.
Another problem that darsonval can correct is excessive oily hair. Oily hair always looks untidy and causes aesthetic discomfort. The darsonvalization procedure helps to regulate the work of the sebaceous glands, thereby bringing metabolic processes in order. Current pulses not only stimulate blood circulation, but also disinfect and destroy all harmful microorganisms at the same time. After a course of therapy, the hair structure improves, a healthy shine appears, dandruff and oiliness are eliminated.
But in addition to solving serious problems, darsonval can also be used as a prophylaxis to strengthen the roots and improve the structure of the hair. As a result of the preventive course of procedures, the hair becomes much thicker and grows faster.
Darsonval does not treat hair, but also a problematic skin type. For various types of care, the device has a number of special nozzles that allow you to choose the optimal mode of exposure and make the procedure very comfortable and as effective as possible.
Advantages of darsonval for hair

- healing of any damage to the scalp: wounds, pustules and sores;
- strengthening the hair follicles;

Cons of darsonval for hair
- Burns and discoloration of the skin
Incorrect use of the device can cause burns, discoloration of the skin, and even exacerbate skin infections.
- Duration of treatment
Compared to other hair beauty procedures, the course of darsonvalization therapy is very long. A visual result from this procedure can be seen only after completing the full course. Also, the result obtained may be short-lived, so there is a possibility of re-treatment.
- Противопоказания
Before the procedure, be sure that there are no contraindications to darsonvalization. They are: pregnancy and lactation, malignant tumors, bleeding disorders, tuberculosis, arrhythmia, epilepsy, rosacea, fever, the presence of a pacemaker.
How to use darsonval for hair at home
The advantage of the device is its versatility, since it can be used not only in a salon or a therapy room, but also independently at home.
Before buying such a beauty gadget, you should consult a specialist in the salon or even carry out one procedure. The fact is that in advance for sure you cannot know the reaction of your body to alternating current impulses and what method of exposure is indicated for your problem. If suddenly the reaction turns out to be negative, then this purchase will be a waste of money.
The hair darsonvalization procedure usually takes 8-10 minutes and is carried out by two methods. With the contact method, there is direct contact of the electrode with the skin. All movements are performed in a circle slowly. Small discharges of the electrode can accelerate blood and increase its flow to the scalp. This improves the overall tone of the skin. The non-contact method also implies the impact of the electrode only at a distance within 5 cm from the skin, while not touching it.
Before you start, you need to prepare the device and your hair. Degrease the nozzle of the device with an alcohol-containing liquid and dry it. Hair must be washed in advance so that it is clean and dry.
Before use, remove all metal clips or hairpins from the hair. Then comb your hair and sit comfortably. Take a darsonval equipped with a special comb-shaped nozzle and slowly drive it over the head. If you are the owner of long hair, then the movements should start from the forehead to the back of the head, something like combing your hair back. If you have short hair, you need to drive the comb in the opposite direction – against hair growth.
During the first sessions, the device must be turned on at minimum power so that the scalp gradually adapts to the effect. As the duration of the course is recommended to increase the strength of the impact.
When treating or improving hair with the darsonval device, you can use oil-based cosmetic head masks together. After all, exerting influence with current pulses, the darsonval device greatly enhances the effect of the funds used. After the darsonvalization session, try rubbing a healing balm or oil into the scalp along the partings. Leave on for about 15-20 minutes and rinse off. The result will pleasantly surprise you.
Step by step guide
If you plan to carry out the darsonvalization procedure yourself at home, then cosmetologists recommend the following:
- Before starting the session, be sure to treat the surface of the electrode (nozzle) with an alcohol solution. At the same time, the treatment should not be carried out before the start of the session, but in advance so that it is completely dry.
- Wash your hair before the procedure, do not use styling products, alcohol lotions or sprays.
- Comb dry and clean strands of hair with a comb until evenly smooth.
- Set the appliance to minimum power. The first procedures must be carried out at low power so that the scalp adapts.
- Turn on darsonval. If the hair is long enough, then comb it with a comb nozzle in the direction from the forehead to the back of the head, as if combing it back. For a short haircut, comb in the opposite direction against hair growth.
- During operation of the device, the base of the electrode must be held very carefully, otherwise sparks may appear.
- Properly configured operation of the device is confirmed by a feeling of warmth and light tingling
- The duration of the procedure should be 8-10 minutes, but 5 minutes is enough for the first session. In the future, the duration of the procedure can be increased up to 15 minutes.
- Turn off the device after the time has elapsed.
- After the session, if desired, you can treat the scalp with medicated hair oil and leave it as a mask for 15-20 minutes.
- After use, wipe the comb nozzle again with a degreasing agent, as soon as it dries, remove the device.
The average duration of the course of therapy is from 10 to 20 sessions. They can be done daily or every other day. To acquire a lasting effect, use darsonval as part of a comprehensive treatment aimed at preventing the problem that has arisen. If the cause is not initially identified, then the symptoms may recur after some time.

Do I need to go to the salon
In any case, it is advisable to contact the salon, although in order to reliably consult with a specialist. If you want to purchase a device to eliminate a serious disease, and not for preventive purposes, then you should be aware of the occurrence of side effects. The best solution before buying is to check the portability of darsonvalization in the salon with an experienced cosmetologist.
Reviews of experts about darsonval for hair
– Any physiotherapeutic effect should be carried out under the supervision of a physician. The fact is that there are a fairly large number of restrictions on the use of the device. But if you decide to still use the darsonval device on your own, you should definitely consult with a specialist.
Darsonval has a beneficial and complex effect on the hair, relieving them of: oily scalp, dandruff, hair loss. The principle of operation is based on the impact of high-frequency current pulses, which strongly stimulate blood circulation and follicles. As a result, the follicles receive the necessary nutrition, which means that the dynamics of cell division takes place in them and growth accelerates.
I recommend the darsonvalization procedure to my patients for the treatment of diffuse alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, retarded hair growth and dandruff. With the right exposure to the darsonval apparatus, the patient does not feel discomfort. The procedure is easily tolerated and is accompanied by a slight tingling and vibration of the head area. But to achieve a visible effect, it is necessary to undergo a course of procedures, at least 10 sessions. The result will depend on the correctness of the procedure, the timely elimination of the root cause of the disease, as well as compliance with medical recommendations.
