How does the Darsonval technique work?
Darsonvalization is a physiotherapeutic method based on the use of high-frequency alternating current with a frequency of up to 110 thousand hertz, low power (less than 0.02 mA) and high voltage (up to 20 thousand volts).
The low current does not result in significant tissue heating, and the variable nature prevents possible ionic shifts in cell membranes. Nitrogen oxides and ozone generated during darsonvalization also have a certain physiological effect on the body. Acting on the human nervous system, the current blocks nerve impulses and reduces the sensitivity of the skin, therefore, during darsonvalization, unpleasant sensations are minimized. In addition, the current inhibits the activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands, causing a short-term spasm of blood vessels, which is replaced by their dilation.
Compatibility with other cosmetic treatments
Classic darsonval in cosmetology is compatible with mechanical facial cleansing. The sequence is as follows - first cleansing the skin, then applying electric currents. Darsonvalization is also combined with massage, including vacuum. Electric currents can enhance the effect of medicinal cosmetics, skin care creams, serums, but the method cannot be used simultaneously with the use of products containing alcohol.
It is also impossible to combine hardware effects with mesotherapy and ultrasound.
What types of procedure are there?
There are two types of discharges during darsonvalization: quiet (during the procedure there are no sensations, as well as sound and light) and spark (the current voltage increases, an air gap remains between the skin and the electrode, and a slight crackling sound is heard during the procedure).
There are also different methods of darsonvalization: remote and contact. The first involves removing the electrode from the skin a few millimeters, and the patient feels a slight tingling sensation. With the contact method, the electrode is moved along massage lines, the patient feels warmth, and the radiation affects the deep tissues of the epidermis.
There is also a method of exposure aimed at a specific area of the skin. During the local method, special vacuum electrodes are used, the effect occurs on some areas, and the duration of the procedure is about 3 minutes in each area. The total duration of all local darsonvalization should not exceed more than 15 minutes. This method eliminates pain, reduces inflammation, and relieves allergy symptoms.
General darsonvalization is a method that is available exclusively in clinics. To carry it out, the patient is placed in a special apparatus called the D'Arsonval cage. General darsonvalization is not used for cosmetic purposes; it affects the health of the entire body, in particular the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
How does darsonvalization work?
The Darsonval device is known for its action of rapidly decaying high-frequency pulse currents on tissue, resulting in electromagnetic oscillations that destroy the membranes of harmful bacteria and have a beneficial effect on metabolism and blood circulation in tissues.
In contact with human skin, the Darsonval device has a complex effect:
- Improves the morphofunctional characteristics of the vascular system (microcirculation, lymph outflow is normalized);
- Foci of inflammation become less noticeable, pain is relieved;
- In the process of exposure to darsonval, biologically active substances are released, which stimulate tissue regeneration processes and strengthen the immune system in general;
- The antibacterial effectiveness of the procedure has also been proven.
The Darsonval device has the main operating components: heat, infrared rays, low-frequency ultrasound, ozone. Using the Darsonval method has positive effects: anti-inflammatory, soothing, bactericidal, antispasmodic.

Reviews about the procedure
Olga, 19 years old: I had ugly acne marks on my face; ordinary creams and ointments did not help. I took two courses of darsonvalization, and the marks are almost invisible if you don’t look closely. I want to repeat the procedure again.
Valentina, 42 years old: I did darsonval for the area around the eyes. The dark circles disappeared after the third or fourth session, but I completed the course to the end to consolidate the result.
Valeria, 35 years old: I took one course of Darsonval for cellulite. The orange peel did not completely disappear, but it was noticeably smoothed out, and the skin began to look more toned.

Darsonvalization of the skin of the face and body: method of implementation
Before starting the procedure, thoroughly cleanse your facial skin of makeup and other contaminants (if darsonvalization of body skin is intended, then you need to take a shower).
Choose products depending on your skin type. For example, for those with dry and dehydrated skin, the Aqua 24 moisturizing makeup remover foam from Beauty Style is ideal. The foam gently envelops the skin, maintains an optimal level of moisture, and gives a feeling of cleanliness and freshness after use. The product perfectly removes makeup and can be used not only by those with dry and dehydrated skin. To cleanse aging skin, you can use the “Taurine & Resveratrol” emulsion from Beauty Style. The product effectively removes dirt and makeup without damaging the protective water-fat layer of the skin. The high content of resveratrol and taurine neutralizes the effects of free radicals, prevents the destruction of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, evens out tone and slows down the natural aging of the skin.
For oily and combination skin, use the “Control” cleansing foaming gel for oily and combination skin from Beauty Style. It delicately removes sebum and cosmetic residues without disturbing the hydrolipidic mantle. The product not only removes impurities, but also regulates the activity of the sebaceous glands, mattifies and evens out skin tone.
If you want a more universal product, we bring to your attention “Cleansing universal” micellar water from the Beauty Style brand. It gently removes impurities from the surface of the epidermis, is suitable for all skin types, and does not leave behind a feeling of tightness and dryness. Micellar water does not require additional rinsing; it has caring properties, making the skin soft and filled with life-giving moisture.

Darsonvalization procedures are carried out on dry skin without first applying cosmetics. Talcum powder can be applied, but you can do without it. Choose a Darsonval nozzle, as well as a contact or remote method. With the contact method, a glass electrode is applied to the skin, after which the device is turned on. The current strength increases gradually until a slight tingling or warmth appears. With the remote technique, the electrode is first applied to the skin, after which it is removed by 0.2-1 cm. The duration of one session is about 15 minutes.
After the darsonvalization procedure, it is recommended to apply a moisturizer to soothe the skin in areas of excessive dryness. Use the intensively moisturizing cream "Hydro active 30 h" of prolonged action from the American brand Beauty Style. It is suitable for owners of any skin type, it moisturizes the epidermis well, soothes irritations, gives a feeling of comfort and relieves the feeling of tightness.
If darsonvalization of hair is carried out, a comb-shaped attachment is selected. The procedure is used for hair loss, seborrhea, excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, weakening of hair follicles. Before performing darsonvalization of the scalp, you need to wash your hair with shampoo and then dry it dry. We recommend using “Control” shampoo from the Peruvian brand Kativa. The product carefully cleanses the scalp and hair of excess sebum, gives a feeling of cleanliness and freshness, improves the appearance of the hair and increases volume. The shampoo does not weigh down the curls, makes them easier to comb and contains mainly natural ingredients. During darsonvalization of the scalp, circular or translational movements are performed with the electrode from the back of the head to the forehead and back. The procedure can be carried out every day and about 20 sessions are enough to achieve a pronounced result.

How to use darsonval for hair
To use the device on the scalp, use a comb attachment. Her hair is slowly, as it were, “combed” from the forehead back: long - only in the direction of growth, short - also in the opposite direction. During the session, the hair follicles are activated, which speeds up the awakening of those sleeping and moves them into the growth phase.
Before the darsonvalization session, you must remove all metal objects: earrings, rings, hairpins, chains, etc.
When using for the first time, the device is set to the lowest power so that the scalp can get used to the effects of pulsed currents. With each session the power is gradually increased. Rubbing vegetable oils or serums into the scalp well consolidates the effect after the procedure, because darsonval enhances the effect of any cosmetic product.
Darsonval should not be used for scalp damage.
Devices for darsonvalization: which one to choose?
There is a whole list of characteristics by which you can choose the optimal device for darsonvalization. Please pay attention to the following points:
| Number of nozzles | The more of them, the more multifunctional your device will be, and you will be able to perform various manipulations and achieve the desired results. |
| Darsonval voltage regulation | The more voltage parameters, the more effective the result will be. Don't worry - devices for home use cannot produce too much voltage. This is due to safety. |
| Number of power levels | During the procedure, it is important to gradually increase the power, so pay attention to darsonvali with this indicator. |
| Quality of electrode tips | The average service life of the attachments is about 250 hours. The quality of sealing of the electrodes determines how long the device will serve you without changing the nozzle. |
| Manufacturer | In most cases, it is brand recognition that guarantees the quality of the devices. Give preference to large manufacturers. The darsonvali of the French brand Gezatone are especially respected and popular. Each device is subject to clinical testing and has a corresponding quality certificate, which indicates its safety and effectiveness. In addition, Gezatone is loved and respected by millions of consumers around the world. |

In the fight against rosacea
In cosmetology, darsonval is rarely used to treat rosacea, since this problem is associated with vasodilation, which is a contraindication for the use of this technique. But in some cases, the doctor prescribes darsonval to reduce the fragility of blood vessels and improve their elasticity in case of rosacea.
For this purpose, a mushroom-shaped nozzle is usually used, subject to a minimum session duration.
