It is difficult to find a woman who would not dream of looking bright and well-groomed, attracting admiring glances from men. Gradually, natural beauty fades, so the ladies are looking for any ways to return to their former youth. Salon procedures are considered one of the most common methods of complex skin care. Numerous peeling, masks, cleansing, already mastered by the fair sex. Let us analyze the apparatus of myostimulation: professional, domestic.
Features of myostimulation
Sometimes this procedure is called myolifting. A special effect of minor electrical impulses on the skin, intended to bring into tone, is supposed. As a result of this procedure, blood circulation improves, facial muscles are activated. This method is not an innovative technique. The first myolifting sessions were conducted at the end of the last century in physiotherapy. But at that time, the procedure was not aimed at rejuvenating the facial skin, but to restore human activity after prolonged immobility. Then the apparatus for myostimulation began to be actively used in sports medicine, and only after that cosmetologists mastered it.
Body myostimulation
Miolifting can be performed not only for the muscles of the face, but also in other parts of the body. This effect is often called "gymnastics for the lazy," because due to electromagnetic pulses, muscle contraction occurs without additional effort on the part of the woman. Such an unusual massage can be performed for the chest, abdomen, buttocks, hips, giving the body elasticity, eliminating the orange peel.
The consequences of the procedure
If you use the device for myostimulation at home, you can get the following results:
- model the oval of the face;
- reduce the second chin;
- eliminate bruises under the eyes;
- smooth facial wrinkles;
- increase skin elasticity;
- improve blood circulation;
- bring to the desired tone the muscles of the neck and face.
Thanks to contractions of muscle fibers, the process of positive transformations is launched in the body. The oxygen demand increases, as a result of which the work of the heart improves, the capillaries become wider, and breathing is leveled out.
The frequency of the procedure
The device for myostimulation is designed for a current not exceeding 15 mA. The electromagnetic pulse has a frequency of up to 150 Hz. Such a procedure is carried out not in a single embodiment, but in a specific course. The number of sessions, as well as the frequency of their repetitions, is determined by the beautician, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient’s skin, its state of health. In the absence of any contraindications, most often 15 sessions are enough (2-3 procedures per week).
Common appliances
In order to understand which is better to take an apparatus for myostimulation, we offer an overview of the main devices used by professional cosmetologists. Among the common and popular devices, we note the Russian ESMA, Galetea, as well as the Chinese Radium and the Italian Maya Beauty Engineering.
Professional cosmetologists prefer to purchase and use in their work the domestic apparatus of myostimulation. Reviews of the operation of this technique indicate a high quality product, reliability, long life of Russian equipment.
Features of the procedure
To begin with, the master removes makeup, then easy peeling. In order to increase the conductivity of electric current, a special gel or mask is applied to the face. From above, electrodes are fixed at certain points. Devices for body myostimulation (professional) involve applying a film to the electrodes, only after that the device starts working. The average duration of an operation is twenty minutes. The patient does not cause unpleasant and painful sensations by the apparatus of pressotherapy (myostimulation). Only in the presence of individual intolerance may an unpleasant reaction occur. Given the fact that it is necessary to make a full range of procedures to obtain the desired result, the pleasure is not cheap. Therefore, many prefer to use myostimulation devices at home, saving on the services of a professional cosmetologist.
Contraindications
For any medical procedure, certain contraindications are possible, myostimulation is no exception. Patients who have a pacemaker were diagnosed with a malignant tumor, arrhythmia, epilepsy, impaired renal and hepatic function, mental illness, tuberculosis, such sessions are categorically not recommended. Ladies who have been given beauty injections, with the help of myostimulation, can accelerate the resorption of the filler. Indications for such procedures are facial wrinkles, the presence of a second chin, overhanging eyelids.
Home Mylifting Options
There are enough devices on the modern market that allow meiostimulation of the face of a house. The most popular models for self-use are:
- Gezatone (France);
- Slendertone Face (Ireland);
- Vupiesse Tua Trend Face (Italy);
- ESMA (Russia).
Regardless of which device you choose for home use, it is important to carefully study the instructions and the list of contraindications. You can visit myolifting sessions with a professional cosmetologist several times to understand the specifics of such a procedure, and then start self-rejuvenating the skin.
It is undesirable to purchase models made by dubious manufacturers, trying to save material resources. Choose electrodes made of high quality silicone. In this case, they will completely adhere to the skin, you will get the maximum result from the procedures.
The algorithm for conducting a home session is no different from the traditional salon procedure. First you need to carefully remove all the remnants of cosmetics from the face, perform a peeling. Then a specific gel is applied to the skin, which is recommended by the manufacturer of the device. Then, electrodes are applied to certain points indicated in the instructions for the device.
First, a current of small force is applied. In order to accustom the skin to myolifting, after the first course you need to give the skin a few months to rest.
Types of muscle stimulants
There are many Chinese devices on the market that operate on battery power. They have a low cost, but they do not give a special effect. Low power does not allow you to configure different modes of frequency and pulse, so you will not get a special effect from such sessions. Italian and French devices are of high quality, but the domestic device (Galatea).
The Ultrastim device is designed for ultrasonic cavitation, electromyostimulation, as well as chromotherapy. With its use, you can cope with the most complex aesthetic tasks. The modern software used in the device helps to correct the figure, strengthen and train muscles, reduce local body fat, and prevent cellulite.
Conclusion
For home use, you can select devices that have six channels. For facial myostimulation at home, devices with four channels are selected. For the neck, chest, face, an electric current of 15 mA is needed, but correction of the hips and buttocks will require at least 30 mA.
A good device designed for home procedures should have several modes of exposure. A high-quality apparatus provides the muscles with torsion twisting, which leads to the removal of toxins and excess moisture.
Pay particular attention to the condition of the electrodes. Try to purchase such devices in which they are made of conductive rubber or carbon cloth. In this case, you will be protected from accidents.
