Before starting the procedure, make-up is removed and the skin is thoroughly cleaned of impurities. Next, the cosmetologist applies a conductive gel to the face, which enhances the healing effect of electrical impulses.

Therapy can be carried out in two ways:

• Electrodes with galvanic or other tips. Before the session, the cosmetologist, taking into account the individual needs of the client’s skin, selects the optimal strength of the electrode. Then the skin is additionally treated with a special protective substance that prevents irritation. During the therapy, the specialist makes the necessary movements with the electrodes, treating problem areas. The duration of the procedure is 35 – 40 minutes.

After this, the cosmetologist performs a manual facial massage, wearing special gloves on his hands to which electrodes are connected. The second electrode is placed in the client's hands.

To correct cosmetic and dermatological defects of the facial skin, the following types of microcurrent therapy are used:

Recommendations for microcurrent treatment

A physiotherapeutic treatment procedure using microcurrents is suitable for patients of any age, however, before resorting to the technique, it is necessary to exclude contraindications.

No special preparation is required before manipulation. Initially, you need to visit a cosmetologist who will identify skin defects, determine what type of microcurrent therapy is appropriate to use in a particular case, and then prescribe the duration of the course.

During the course, it is advisable for the patient to drink at least 1.5 - 2 liters of fluid per day, avoid salty, spicy, fatty foods, and abstain from caffeine-containing and alcoholic beverages. To consolidate the results, 1 - 1.5 months after completing the course, it is advisable to repeat the procedure by attending 1 - 2 sessions.

To achieve the most positive effect, it is necessary to undergo a full course of therapy, the duration of which depends on the patient’s age and the condition of the skin:

• Young girls aged 25 - 30 years. The technique is prescribed to prevent age-related changes. However, the course does not last long and includes up to 5 sessions.
• Women aged 35 – 40 years. To eliminate the first signs of skin aging, it is recommended to take a course consisting of 5 – 6 sessions, which are carried out once a week.
• Ladies aged 45 - 50 years. The course is extended to 8 – 12 sessions, with a break between them of about 3 days.
• Women after 50 years. Here, the duration of therapy is determined by the cosmetologist personally, taking into account the needs of the skin and the desired effect. The interval between sessions is 1 – 2 days.

Benefits of Microcurrent Therapy

The effect of microcurrent therapy can be assessed after the first visit to a cosmetologist. But the advantages of the procedure are not limited to this. Its main advantages:

• painlessness and safety;
• wide range of uses;
• good tolerance;
• almost complete absence of side effects;
• the opportunity to significantly improve and rejuvenate the skin without resorting to plastic surgery;
• complex impact and treatment of all layers of the epidermis.

Another significant advantage is that the technique goes well with a number of other cosmetic procedures aimed at healing and rejuvenating facial skin. Microcurrent therapy is perfectly complemented by:

• ELOS rejuvenation and other hardware procedures;
• peelings, scrubbing, masks, etc.

Disadvantages of microcurrent therapy

The disadvantages of the procedure include:

• a large list of contraindications;
• relative high cost;

Possible side effects and complications

Undesirable effects include slight redness and itching in places where the electrodes touched the skin. This complication most often develops in people with a low pain threshold or individual intolerance to electrical currents. During the session, the client may experience flashes in the eyes. They are absolutely harmless and do not affect the visual system in any way.

In the first few hours after the manipulation, the patient may be bothered by a slight tingling of the areas exposed to microcurrent, as well as an unpleasant metallic taste in the mouth. These symptoms disappear on their own and do not require special treatment.

Reviews from doctors

Ekaterina: I am a cosmetologist and have been performing myostimulation procedures in a cosmetology clinic for several years now, and I can say with confidence that if you want to purchase a myostimulator for independent use at home, then consult with a specialist before purchasing to avoid health problems.

Arina, cosmetologist: Many patients ask me if it is possible to replace the special gel for the procedure with something else, for example water. I always answer yes, but the result can be very different. Thus, if you want to get a good effect without pain and irritation, then use a high-quality specialized gel.

Anna: I am a dermatologist, and I recommend purchasing only high-quality certified devices for home use, since products that do not have the appropriate certification are dangerous to use and can lead to many disorders and diseases.
