Darsonvalization is a modern procedure that belongs to the category of physiotherapeutic methods of therapeutic effects on the human body. Darsonval has not been used in cosmetology for a long time, but he received well-deserved respect quite quickly. Treatment with this device is an electrotherapy with alternating pulse current.
The founder of this procedure is the well-known French physiologist by the name of D'Arsonval. He devoted his whole life to the study of the influence of alternating currents on the human body, for which he received respect and recognition from others.
The use of high-frequency currents in the medical industry began in 1891. And later, the technique of D'Arsonval was gradually improved and began to be called in honor of its discoverer.
The essence of the method
Darsonval in cosmetology, which has been used since the end of the 19th century, affects the human body with a current whose frequency fluctuates between 110-400 kHz. The procedure can be either local (local) or general (inductotherapy). Their main difference is that in the first method, capacitor electrodes are conducted to the patient himself, and in the second method, they are placed in a solenoid.
The procedure, during which darsonval is used in cosmetology, is based on a positive discharge between the mucous membranes, as well as the epidermis with vacuum electrodes. Inductotherapy is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
The use of darsonval in cosmetology is usually prescribed by a physiotherapist. This procedure is considered an auxiliary technique for the conservative treatment of individual cosmetic problems.
The use of darsonval in cosmetology
Darsonval current can be used both separately and in conjunction with various procedures (massage, cleaning, mask and so on). Most often, people with pronounced defects in the skin of the face resort to the procedure, but often patients turn to it in order to get rid of minor problems.
Darsonval indications in cosmetology are simple:
- removal of edema in the area under the eyes;
- elimination of acne, dermatitis, irritation and inflammation;
- exposure to excessively dry or oily skin;
- the elimination of facial wrinkles;
- cleansing pores and reducing porosity of the skin;
- smoothing scars after acne, vascular networks.
In most medical rooms and specialized salons, the current is used for 2-4 courses, consisting of 10-15 sessions and alternating with rest in 3-4 weeks.
Current efficiency
The technique is able to positively affect the human body, showing excellent results by the middle of the very first treatment course. The local effect is determined by the anti-inflammatory effect of several electrical discharges, combined with ionization and ultraviolet radiation (insolarization).
Darsonvalization, in comparison with similar chemically acting methods, does not lead to injuries or burns of the epidermis. During the procedure, bacteria and microorganisms that infect damaged areas of the skin die, and the scars are disinfected and quickly smoothed out.
Due to the effect of current on the nerve receptors of the skin, you can notice the following effects:
- Stimulation of collagen synthesis. Many people use darsonval in cosmetology for rejuvenation. It is because of the synthesis of collagen that the skin becomes more toned and young.
- Normalization of sweating and the functioning of the sebaceous glands. Darsonval in cosmetology with sweating hands is especially good. Thanks to this procedure, you can forever forget about wet hands, irritations and rashes on them.
- Vasodilation With an increase in blood vessels, blood circulation in certain areas of the skin is normalized.
- Fast recovery process. After exposure to current, microdamages heal almost instantly.
- Increased skin tone. If you go through several stages of treatment, the smoothness of the skin, elasticity and firmness will be clearly visible, and its color will become more fresh.
