The appearance of facial wrinkles is always an unpleasant surprise for a woman. The situation worsens when due to the loss of elasticity the facial skin becomes sagging and loses its healthy tone. In such cases, panicked women begin to look for ways to regain their former attractiveness.
But such a phenomenon should not become a cause for panic, because today cosmetology offers many opportunities to remove wrinkles. Facial rejuvenation with microcurrents (microlifting), especially those with low frequency, has become very popular around the world. Its popularity continues to grow due to its high efficiency, painlessness and safety of manipulation.
Microcurrent facial therapy is a convenient and delicate hardware technique for facial rejuvenation, which is very popular among both women and men.
The organism is designed in such a way that its vital activity is maintained by constant electrochemical reactions. The human body, consisting of cells, is covered with a polarized cell membrane (cytoplasm). In a healthy state, its outer side carries a negative charge, and the inner side is positive. In this way, living cells come into contact with the environment through electrical signals.
Skin becomes damaged with age. Malfunctions in the body lead to a slowdown in metabolic processes and gradual cell death. Exposure to microcurrents restores skin polarization and triggers the following processes:
Important!Because the AC values are small, the procedure cannot be addictive. As a result, each repeated session is perceived by the human body as a beneficial effect in all respects. Sufficient effect of the course of proceduresis achieved!
Cosmetic clinics and salons offer different types of procedures based on microcurrent therapy. All options are offered to patients. Let's take a look at the most popular:
Face and neck lift. This procedure tones the facial tissues, reduces sagging, smoothes fine wrinkles. It should be emphasized that facelift can be performed only with special equipment designed for this purpose. Ordinary equipment, due to its high activity, can, on the contrary, worsen the problem of imitation wrinkles and even lead to the development of neuritis.
Attention!When performing microcurrent therapy, electrodes should not be placed in the area of the heart, eyeballs and vessels of the neck.
Combining microcurrents with mesotherapy gives the best results. In this case there is no damage to the epidermis.
The experience of cosmetologists performing facial rejuvenation with microcurrents confirms that good results are achieved thanks to:
Today, microcurrent therapy is increasing due to painlessness, safety and lack of rehabilitation period. After the session, the patient can immediately go home and start his business.
The described technique allows you to eliminate puffiness, increase the elasticity of the facial muscles and give your face a pleasant healthy tone.
Important!Microcurrents - course procedure. The preservation of the effect of this method of rejuvenation can be observed for 3 months or more.
Considering this concept, it should be noted that it covers a wide variety of procedures using low-frequency electrical pulses with a current of a certain strength (in the range of 600-1000 μA).
Today, the cosmetics market offers various models of devices for rejuvenating microcurrent therapy. They differ from each other in the design of the electrodes and the characteristics.
Devices are classified by:
In cases where the skin is treated with a monopolar current, the drugs are used in small doses.
Choosing a technique for facial rejuvenation, it is necessary to determine in which cases it is prescribed. Microcurrent therapy has its own specific indications. Prescribed in cases where:
It should also be noted that from hardware techniques doctors use microcurrent therapy before plastic correction and after its application during the rehabilitation period.
Cosmetologists often resort to exposure to microcurrents when it is necessary to restore the skin after laser layering, microdermabrasion and various peels.The procedure, which involves exposing the skin to the face with microcurrents, is performed in seven stages:
Applying a special contact gel on the whole face. This agent has a special conductive composition. It contains numerous 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).
Oil compositions in this case are not accepted by a specialist, as they conduct electricity poorly. As the gel dries during the session, unpleasant sensations are possible. To avoid them, the specialist will periodically moisten the electrodes during the procedure.
Skin exposure with electrodes. Metal electrodes, liquid cotton swabs, or even conductive gloves can be used as electrodes
.The"labile" techniqueis often used, which involves moving the electrodes to the skin during the procedure.
Sometimes a"stable" techniquecan be used when the electrodes are fixed to the epidermis.
In the case of microcurrent therapy using the "labile" technique, the electrodes are transmitted along the lymphatic outflow line. Always start moving the electrodes from the neck to facilitate the free flow of lymph from the face.
How many treatments may you need?
It is difficult to answer exactly how many procedures are needed to achieve the desired effect. Why? Because it all depends on the age of the fairer sex:
The microcurrent therapy procedure is very popular among men, as the course of action gives an excellent result, while it is painless and does not require a recovery period!
The non-invasive procedure for exposing the facial epidermis to microcurrents described above is usually easily tolerated, but side effects may occur. Their list is small. This:
Microlifting, like many other methods of rejuvenating salons, may suggest a number of contraindications. Anyone who wants to undergo this anti-aging procedure should know them.
The list of common contraindications looks like this:
In addition to general, there are local contraindications. This:
Microlifting is usually done only by a beautician. But relatively recently, ladies have the opportunity to perform micro-lifting at home. It should be said in advance that the effect of such manipulation at home will be much smaller. But as women increasingly choose this procedure in terms of the democratic price, it makes sense to discuss it.
If you have a special device on hand, the stages of performing microlifting at home will be similar to the stages of manipulation in the salon (first a complete make-up removal is performed, then a contact gel is applied to the area and the procedure begins).
Important!In order 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 salon.
Due to the fact that the effect of microcurrents in the home is very weak, in this case side effects are very rare.
The current force during microlifting in the salon is always controlled by the doctor. First, the specialist determines the minimum level, then the current increases.
Sometimes any muscle (usually an arm or leg muscle) can contract voluntarily during exposure to electricity. You should not be afraid of such a reaction, as it is the body's reaction to the effect of current force.
Microlifting can be combined and resolved after a number of other cosmetic procedures. But in this case the important point will be the interval between manipulations:
It is recommended to do a light chemical peel before exposing the microcurrents to the skin. It will allow you to achieve a more pronounced effect.
RF-lifting is understood as a method of radio waves that allows you to form a skeleton of the face 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 in a non-injectable way.
RF-lifting allows you to achieve a quick effect, because after the procedure the old collagen fibers are strengthened. The lifting effect of RF lifting increases with each procedure. In total, 10 procedures per course may be required. But the peculiarity of RF-lifting is that such manipulations can be recommended for women after 35-40 years, while microcurrents can be recommended even for very young girls (if specified).
