Progress in the field of cosmetology and medicine entails the emergence of new drugs and devices that are becoming more versatile and multifunctional. Modern methods of treating certain diseases are more effective in comparison with previously used procedures. One of the recently appeared devices is darsonval "Carat DE-212". Reviews of his work are both positive and negative. Since the device has a medical purpose, it is worth understanding the principle of its operation and other nuances of application.
Darsonval Essentials
Darsonval is the general name for a group of devices whose operation is based on the influence of pulsed currents of high frequency and voltage. Their strength does not exceed 0.02 mA. The darsonvalization method was first applied by the French scientist Darsonval, in whose honor he was named.
Darsonval has several models that can differ in the number of nozzles and some technical characteristics, which affects the scope of their application and versatility. It is worth acquiring only devices of those manufacturers that have a quality certificate and which are registered in the Russian Federation. This will help to avoid disappointments that are inevitable when using an uncertified device.
Design and principle of operation
Darsonval "Carat" is a device that forms microcurrents of low power. They are passed through electrodes located in glass vacuum tubes. Due to the fact that the currents have a small power, they do not have time to lead to the formation of a significant amount of heat in the tissue cells in the time allotted for the procedure.
The darsonval device is used in two modes: contact and non-contact. With contact darsonvalization, a so-called silent discharge is created, which occurs as a result of direct contact of the electrode with the skin. If there is an air gap between the electrode and the skin surface, a spark regime occurs, which is a non-contact darsonvalization method. The larger the layer of air, the greater the power of the spark, but it should not exceed 2 cm.
Where is Darsonval Karat applied?
The device is widely used in cosmetology and medicine to treat various skin diseases and eliminate their consequences. Darsonval treatment is offered in many cosmetology centers and modern physiotherapy rooms. This is due to a combination of its effectiveness and quite reasonable cost.
In addition to cosmetology, there are several medical areas in which darsonval is often used:
- dermatology;
- neurology;
- urology;
- gynecology;
- dentistry.
General and local darsonvalization
General darsonvalization is characterized by the simultaneous effect of low-power currents on the entire body. This procedure eliminates headaches, increases vascular tone, improves sleep, etc., as a result of which there is a decrease in body fatigue and increased performance.
Local darsonvalization is aimed at eliminating local problems, such as foci of various skin diseases. For this type of darsonvalization, the darsonval "Carat DE-212" is suitable. Reviews of his work make it possible to determine the capabilities of the device. This model has several advantages over other darsonvali, which makes it very common among consumers.

The non-contact method is used to create a spark discharge that cauterizes pustules and disinfects the skin. In this case, the electrode must be torn off the skin above the lesion. To create the effect of tightening and smoothing wrinkles, the electrode is led above the skin surface with an air layer of no more than 2 cm.

Exposure to microcurrents can also accelerate the growth of malignant tumors and other neoplasms. The presence of a pacemaker is also a contraindication to the use of darsonval. High-frequency current can knock down the pacemaker.
With epilepsy, it is also not recommended to use darsonval, since stimulation with this device can cause an attack. The same applies to any mental disorders accompanied by a violent reaction to stimuli.
