The appearance of mimic wrinkles is always an unpleasant surprise for a woman. The situation is aggravated when, due to the loss of elasticity, the skin on the face becomes flabby and loses its healthy tone. In these cases, panicked women begin to look for ways to regain their former attractiveness.
But this phenomenon should not be a cause for panic, because today cosmetology offers many options to eliminate wrinkles. Facial rejuvenation with microcurrents (microlifting), especially low frequency ones, has become very popular all over the world. Its popularity continues to grow due to its high efficiency, painless and safe handling.
Microcurrent facial therapy is a comfortable and delicate hardware technique for facial rejuvenation, very popular with women and men.
The organism is designed in such a way that its vital activity is sustained by electrochemical reactions that occur constantly. The human body, consisting of cells, is covered by a polarized cell membrane (cytoplasm). In a healthy state, the outer side carries a negative charge and the inner side is positive. Thus, living cells come into contact with their environment through electrical signals.
The skin becomes damaged over time. Malfunctioning of the body leads to a slowdown in metabolic processes and gradual cell death. Exposure to microcurrents restores skin polarization and initiates the following processes:
Important!Since the CA values are small, the procedure cannot be addictive. As a result, each repeated session is accepted by the human body as a beneficial effect in all aspects. A sufficient effect is achieved with thecourse of procedures!
Cosmetic clinics and beauty salons offer various types of microcurrent-based procedures. All options are offered to patients. Let's consider the most popular ones:
Face and neck survey. This procedure gives tone to facial tissues, reduces sagging, smooths out fine wrinkles. At the same time, it must be emphasized that the face lift can only be performed with special equipment designed for this purpose. Ordinary equipment, due to its high activity, can, on the contrary, aggravate the problem of facial wrinkles and even lead to the development of neuritis.
Attention! When performing microcurrent therapy, the electrodes should not be placed in the area of the heart, eyes and vessels in the neck.
The combination of microcurrents with mesotherapy offers the best results. In that case, there is no damage to the epidermis.
The experience of cosmetologists who conduct facial rejuvenation with microcurrents confirms that good results are achieved thanks to:
Microcurrent therapy is in increasing demand today due to its absence of pain, safety and lack of a rehabilitation period. After the session, the patient can immediately go home and take care of his or her life.
The described technique allows to remove the swelling, increase the elasticity of the facial muscles and give the face a pleasant and healthy tone.
Important!Microcurrents - course procedure. The preservation of the effect of this rejuvenation method can be observed for 3 months or more.
Considering this concept, it should be noted that it covers many different procedures using low frequency electrical impulses with a current of a certain intensity (within 600-1000 μA).
Today, the cosmetology market offers different models of devices for rejuvenating microcurrent therapy. They differ from each other in the electrode device and characteristics.
Devices are classified by:
In cases where the skin is treated with monopolar current, the drugs are used in small doses.
When choosing a facial rejuvenation technique, it is necessary to know in which cases it is prescribed. Microcurrent therapy has its own specific indications. It is prescribed in cases where:
It should also be noted that of the hardware techniques, it is the microcurrent therapy that doctors use before plastic correction and after its implementation during the rehabilitation period.
Cosmetologists often resort to exposure to microcurrents when it is necessary to restore the skin after laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion and various peels.
A procedure that involves exposing the skin of the face with microcurrents is performed in seven steps:
Application of a special contact gel all over the face. This agent has a special conductive composition. It contains several useful active ingredients (if the patient has acne, a special conductive anti-acne gel will be used; if there are wrinkles, the specialist will use a special anti-wrinkle gel).
Oily compositions in this case are not taken by a specialist, as they conduct the electric current weakly. As the gel dries during the session, unpleasant sensations are possible. To avoid them, the specialist periodically moistens the electrodes during the procedure.
Skin exposure with electrodes. Metal electrodes, swabs moistened with a liquid composition or even conductive gloves
can be used as electrodes.The"labile" techniqueis often used, which involves moving the electrodes over the skin during the procedure.
Sometimes a"stable" techniquecan be used when the electrodes are attached to the epidermis.
In the case of microcurrent therapy using the "labile" technique, the electrodes are passed along the lymph exit lines. Always start moving the neck electrodes to facilitate the free flow of lymph from the face.
How many treatments can you need?
It is difficult to answer precisely the question of how many procedures are necessary to obtain the desired effect. Why? Since it all depends on the age of the fair sex:
The microcurrent therapy procedure is very popular among men, because in the course of the action, it gives an excellent result, while it is painless and does not require a recovery period!
The non-invasive procedure described above for microcurrent exposure of the facial epidermis is generally easily tolerated, but side effects may also occur. Their list is short. This:
Microlifting, like many other methods of rejuvenating the beauty salon, can involve a number of contraindications. Anyone who wants to do this anti-aging treatment should know them.
The list of common contraindications looks like this:
In addition to the general ones, there are also local contraindications. This:
Microlifting is usually performed only by a beautician. But relatively recently, women have had the opportunity to perform microlifting at home. It must be said beforehand that the effect of this manipulation at home will be much less. But as women are increasingly opting for this procedure due to the democratic price, it makes sense to discuss it.
If you have a special device in hand, the stages of performing microlifting at home will be similar to the stages of salon manipulation (first, a complete makeup removal is performed, then a contact gel is applied to the areaand the procedure starts).
Important!For the effect of such an effect to be observed at least a little, the procedures must be performed twice as often as they would be performed in a clinic or beauty salon.
Because the effect of microcurrents at home is very weak, in this case, adverse reactions occur very rarely.
The current strength during the micro-lifting in the salon is always controlled by the doctor. At first, the specialist sets the minimum level, then the current strength increases.
Sometimes any muscle (usually an arm or leg muscle) can contract voluntarily during exposure to a current. You should not be afraid of such a reaction, as this is the body's response to the effect of the force of the current.
Microlifting can be combined and allowed after a series of other cosmetic procedures. But in this case, the important point will be the interval between manipulations:
Before exposure to microcurrents, a light chemical peel is recommended. This will allow you to obtain a more pronounced effect.
The RF survey is understood as a radio wave method that allows a skeleton of the face to be formed from collagen and elastin. Microcurrents work differently. They stimulate the production of collagen as well as elastin by injecting special substances into the subcutaneous layer without injection.
The RF lifting allows you to get a quick effect, because after the procedure, the old collagen fibers are strengthened. The RF lifting effect increases with each procedure. In total, 10 procedures per course may be required. But the peculiarity of the RF survey is that such manipulations can be recommended for women after 35-40 years, while microcurrents can be recommended even for very young girls (if indicated).
