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 facial skin becomes flabby and loses its healthy tone. In these cases, panicked women start looking for ways to regain their former attractiveness.
But this phenomenon should not be a cause for panic, because today cosmetology offers many options for eliminating wrinkles. Facial rejuvenation with microcurrents (microlifting), especially at low frequency, 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 gentle hardware technique for facial rejuvenation, very popular with women and men.
The organism is designed in such a way that its vital activity is supported by electrochemical reactions that occur constantly. The human body, made up of cells, is covered with a polarized cell membrane (cytoplasm). In a healthy state, its outer side has a negative charge, and the inner side is positive. Thus, living cells come into contact with their environment through electrical signals.
The skin is damaged with age. Malfunctions in the body lead to a slowing down of metabolic processes and gradual cell death. Exposure to microcurrents restores the polarization of the skin and activates the following processes:
Important!Because the AC values are small, the procedure cannot be dependent. As a result, each repeated session is accepted by the human body as a full-fledged beneficial effect. Sufficient effect is obtained from the course ofprocedures!
Clinics and cosmetic salons offer various types of procedures based on microcurrent therapy. All options are offered to patients. Let's consider the most popular:
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 performed 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 neurites.
Attention!When performing microcurrent therapy, the electrodes should not be placed in the area of the heart, eyeballs and vessels on the neck.
The combination of microcurrents with mesotherapy gives the best results. In this case, there is no damage to the epidermis.
The experience of cosmetologists who perform facial rejuvenation with microcurrents confirms that good results are obtained thanks to:
Microcurrent therapy is increasingly in 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 to eliminate swelling, increase the elasticity of the facial muscles and give the face a pleasant healthy tone.
Important!Microcurrents - course procedure. 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 pulses with a current of a certain strength (within 600-1000 μA).
Today the cosmetology market offers different models of devices for the rejuvenation of microcurrent therapy. They differ from each other in the arrangement of the electrodes and in their characteristics.
Devices are classified by:
In cases where the skin is treated with a monopolar current, drugs are used in small doses.
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 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.
The procedure that involves exposing the facial skin with microcurrents is performed in seven stages:
Apply a special contact gel all over the face. This agent has a special conductive composition. Contains a number of useful active ingredients (if the patient has acne, a special conductive anti-acne gel will be used, if wrinkles are present, 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. As the gel dries out during the session, unpleasant sensations are possible. To avoid them, the specialist will periodically moisten the electrodes during the procedure.
Skin exposure with electrodes. As electrodes, metal electrodes, cotton swabs moistened with a liquid composition or even conductive gloves can be used
.The"labile"technique is often used, which involves moving the electrodes on 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 with "labile" technique, the electrodes are passed along the lymphatic outflow lines. Always begin to move the electrodes from the neck in order to promote the free flow of lymph from the face.
How many treatments may you need?
It is difficult to answer precisely the question of how many procedures are required to achieve the desired effect. Because? Since it all depends on the age of the fair sex:
The microcurrent therapy procedure is very popular among men, because under the course of action, it gives a very good result, while it is painless and does not require a recovery period!
The non-invasive procedure described above for exposure to the facial epidermis with microcurrents is generally easily tolerated, but side effects can also occur. Their list is small. This:
Microlifting, like many other salon rejuvenation methods, can involve a number of contraindications. Everyone who wants to undergo 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 the opportunity to perform micro-facelifts at home. It must be said in advance that the effect of such manipulation at home will be much lower. But as women, in view of the democratic price, increasingly choose 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 makeup removal is performed, then a contact gel is applied to thearea and the procedure begins).
Important!In order for the effect of such an effect to be observed even a little, the procedures should be carried out twice as often as they would be done in a clinic or salon.
Due to the fact that the effect of microcurrents in the house is very weak, adverse reactions very rarely occur in this case.
The current strength during salon microlifting is always checked 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 in an arm or leg) can voluntarily contract 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 current force.
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, a light chemical peel is recommended. It will allow you to achieve a more pronounced effect.
RF lifting is intended as a radio wave method that allows a facial skeleton 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.
RF lifting allows you to achieve a quick effect, since after the procedure, the old collagen fibers are strengthened. The lifting effect of the RF lift increases with each procedure. In total, 10 procedures may be required per course. But the peculiarity of RF lifting is that such manipulations can be recommended for women after 35-40 years, while microcurrents can also be recommended for very young girls (if indicated).
