The appearance of mimic wrinkles always comes as an unpleasant surprise for a woman. The situation is aggravated when, due to the loss of elasticity, the skin of the face becomes flabby and loses its healthy tone. In such cases, women in a panic begin to look for ways to regain their former attractiveness.
But such a phenomenon should not become a reason for panic, because today cosmetology offers many options for eliminating 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, painlessness and safety of manipulation.
Microcurrent facial therapy is a comfortable 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 supported by constantly occurring 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. Thus, living cells come into contact with their environment through electrical signals.
Skin gets 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 initiates the following processes:
Important!Since the AC 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 respects. A sufficient effect is achieved from thecourse of procedures!
Cosmetic clinics and salons offer different types of procedures based on microcurrent therapy. All options are offered to patients. Let's consider the most popular ones:
Face and neck lifting. This procedure gives tone to the facial tissues, reduces laxity, smoothes fine wrinkles. It should be emphasized that a facelift can only be carried out with special equipment designed for this purpose. Ordinary equipment, due to its high activity, can, on the contrary, aggravate the problem with mimic 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 on the neck.
Combining microcurrents with mesotherapy gives the best results. In this case, there is no damage to the epidermis.
The experience of cosmetologists conducting facial rejuvenation with microcurrents confirms that good results are achieved thanks to:
Microcurrent therapy is in increasing demand today due to its painlessness, safety and lack of a rehabilitation period. After the session, the patient can immediately go home and go about his business.
The described technique allows you to remove puffiness, increase the elasticity of 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 many diverse procedures using low-frequency electrical impulses with a current of a certain strength (within 600-1000 μA).
Today, the cosmetology market offers different models of devices for rejuvenating microcurrent therapy. They differ from each other in the device of the electrodes and characteristics.
The devices are classified by:
In cases where the skin is treated with a monopolar current, medications are used in small doses.
When choosing a technique for facial rejuvenation, it is necessary to find out in which cases it is prescribed. Microcurrent therapy has its own specific indications. It is prescribed in cases when:
It should also be noted that of the hardware techniques, it is 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 required to restore the skin after laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion and various peels.
The procedure involving exposure of the facial skin with microcurrents is performed in seven stages:
Applying a special contact gel to the entire 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).
Oily compositions in this case are not taken by a specialist, because they weakly conduct electric current. Since the gel dries out during the session, unpleasant sensations are possible. To avoid them, the specialist will periodically moisten the electrodes during the procedure.
Exposure to the skin with electrodes. As electrodes, metal electrodes, cotton swabs moistened with a liquid composition, or even conductive gloves
can be used.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 fixed to the epidermis.
In the case of microcurrent therapy using the “labile” technique, electrodes are passed along the lines of lymph outflow. Always begin to move the electrodes from the neck in order to facilitate the free flow of lymph from the face.
How many treatments might you need?
It is difficult to accurately answer the question of how many procedures are required to obtain the desired effect. Why? Since it all depends on the age of the fair sex:
Microcurrent therapy procedure is very much in demand among men, becauseunder the course of action, it gives an excellent result, while it is painless and does not require a recovery period!
The non-invasive procedure described above for exposure to the epidermis of the face with microcurrents is usually easily tolerated, but side effects may also occur. Their list is small. This:
Micro-lifting, like many other methods of salon rejuvenation, can imply a number of contraindications. Everyone who wants to undergo this anti-aging treatment should know them.
The list of common contraindications looks like this:
Besides the general ones, there are also local contraindications. This:
Microlifting is usually performed only by a beautician. But relatively recently, ladies have the opportunity to carry out micro-lifting at home. It should be said in advance that the effect of such manipulation at home will be much lower. But since women, in view of the democratic price, are increasingly choosing this procedure, it makes sense to discuss it.
If you have a special device at hand, the stages of performing microlifting at home will be similar to the stages of salon manipulation (first, a thorough make-up removal is carried out, 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 should be done 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, adverse reactions very rarely occur.
The current strength during salon microlifting is always controlled by the doctor. At first, the specialist sets the minimum level, then the strength of the current increases.
Sometimes any muscle (most often a muscle of an arm or leg) can contract voluntarily during exposure to a current. You should not be afraid of such a reaction, since this is the body's response to the effect of current strength.
Microlifting can be combined and allowed after a number of other cosmetic procedures. But in this case, the important point will be the interval between manipulations:
Before exposure to microcurrents on the skin, it is recommended to carry out a light chemical peeling. It will allow you to achieve a more pronounced effect.
RF-lifting is understood as a radio wave method 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-injection manner.
RF-lifting allows you to achieve a quick effect, as after the procedure, old collagen fibers are strengthened. The lifting effect of RF lifting increases with each procedure. In total, 10 procedures per course may be needed. But the peculiarity of RF-lifting is that such manipulations can be recommended for women after 35-40 years old, while microcurrents can be recommended even for very young girls (if indicated).
