Darsonval devices

Darsonval is a well-known physiotherapeutic device, the functioning of which is based on the impact of high-frequency (100-400 W) and low-power (100-200 mA) alternating current pulses on the human body. It got its name from the name of the famous French physiologist who proposed this method in 1891.

Today, many people know darsonvalization as a way to combat baldness, but not everyone is aware that with the help of this device you can successfully cope with problems of the face and body. For example, smooth out wrinkles, improve skin condition, get rid of acne, normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

Compared to other methods and means of cosmetology, darsonvalization has the following advantages:

• low cost of procedures;
• completely non-invasive;
• the possibility of using the device by non-professionals;

However, the importance of this method should not be exaggerated. Even strict and active therapeutic use of Darsonval can improve the condition of the skin by no more than 20%.

What is darsonvalization?

Using the Darsonval device, a procedure called darsonvalization is performed. The device contains a transformer and a generator, glass electrode attachments with compressed air inside.

Procedure methods:

• The general technique is used in medicine. For this purpose, the patient is completely placed in a chamber, after which the current begins to affect the body. Purpose: neurasthenia, insomnia, metabolic disorders, hypertension.
• The local technique is used in cosmetology and medicine. In this case, the effect of the current is directed to certain areas of the body, and not to the entire body. Joints and tendons, ligaments and muscles, the oral cavity and the circulatory system are treated. Darsonvalization is also used for respiratory and neurological diseases. For cosmetic purposes, the procedure is prescribed for dermatological problems, wrinkles, and aging skin.

Classification of local darsonvalization:

• The contact type of procedure involves contact between the skin and the device attachment. The selected nozzle continuously moves around the body area. In this case, a quiet current discharge is applied, the pulses of which penetrate into the layers of the epidermis, beginning the process of regeneration of damaged cells and tissues. This makes it possible to restore the skin. This technique is considered gentle.
• During the remote procedure, a stronger current discharge is used, but the attachments are not placed on the skin, but at a distance of at least 5 mm, maximum 2 cm from the skin. In this case, the strength of the discharge depends on the distance - the smaller the air layer, the weaker the discharge. When compressed air comes into contact with oxygen, ozone and nitrogen oxide are formed, which leads to the destruction of pathogens. This technique is aimed at treating boils and purulent acne. This is an aggressive effect on the skin, so during the procedure a person feels a tingling sensation.

In some cases, if there are a number of skin problems, specialists combine both methods in one procedure. With contact darsonvalization, the therapeutic effect occurs in the upper layers of the skin, and with remote darsonvalization, additionally in the deep layers.

Use at home

The use of darsonval for the face at home is not prohibited. The main thing is to follow the rules stated above and take into account the presence of contraindications, which we will talk about a little later.

Instructions for using darsonval for the face at home provide for various methods of local darsonvalization:

contact - a device with an electrode selected in accordance with the problem being solved must be applied directly to the skin with a quiet discharge;

remote - the electrode does not come into contact with the skin, an air layer of 0.5-1 cm is formed, as a result, the impact of the current occurs pointwise and more intensely, a tingling sensation occurs.

It is the second option that is used to treat warts and cauterize foci of inflammation, but besides this, this technique gives a mild lifting effect.

When using Darsonval yourself, do not forget to properly prepare your facial skin for the procedure:

• clean your face of cosmetics;
• wipe the skin along the massage lines with a cotton pad soaked in mineral water;
• wait until your face becomes dry, and only then proceed with the darsonvalization procedure.

Now that you know how to properly use Darsonval on your face, pay attention to the benefits it will bring.

Why is darsonvalization done?

Treatment of skin with microcurrents leads to the following phenomena:

• capillaries dilate, blood flow increases;
• improves nutrition and oxygen supply to the skin;
• skin tone increases;
• skin regeneration increases;
• heal all kinds of skin damage, reduce swelling and allergic reactions;

Mechanism of action and equipment

To carry out the procedure, a special medical device for darsonvalization is used, developed by a French scientist, after whom the device was named. Its mechanism of action is to treat tissues damaged by herpes with alternating current of different frequencies. The pulse transmission rate is 50 discharges per second, the current strength can be from 100 mA to 200 mA. The device operates from the network.

Under the influence of a charge, the damaged area is cauterized, and healthy tissue grows in its place.

The Darsonval device comes with several attachments that are designed for different purposes:

1. Mushroom-shaped. It is recommended to be used when herpetic rashes are localized on the face or large-scale tissue damage is observed, for example, with herpes zoster.
2. Comb. Intended for treating areas of skin that are covered with hair; it is usually used for scalp massage.
3. Spot (band). It is used to treat areas where there are microdamages of the skin, acne, warts. Herpes rashes are treated with a point nozzle.
4. Elongated (rod-shaped). Designed for performing procedures in the groin area.

There is no need to press the device; it should glide easily over the surface of the face. All movements must be circular.

The maximum course is 15-20 procedures. It is recommended to take it three times a year.

Darsonval for lifting effect

Darsonval for acne on the face

To get rid of skin rashes, you should:

• In the presence of large inflammatory foci, remote exposure is used at the initial stages of treatment. The air layer is minimal (5 mm). Hold the tip over each boil, pimple or inflamed area for about 20 seconds. This will create a spark discharge, which will neutralize the inflammatory process and destroy bacteria. When the pimples are slightly dry, contact darsonvalization is carried out using a mushroom-shaped attachment, which in turn will prevent the formation of scars.
• If there are few rashes, contact darsonvalization is used first, and then targeted. The procedures are carried out every other day for a month.
• To reduce oily skin, which often causes acne and enlarged pores, a mushroom attachment is used. You need to move from the central part of the forehead and nose towards the temples and ears. The tip must be installed at an angle: one edge of the tip should be adjacent to the skin surface of the face, and the other should be at a distance of 5 mm from the skin.

It is precisely because of the worsening of existing diseases that it is recommended to undergo a full examination of the body in advance.

Darsonval for acne and problem skin

If there are large inflamed elements in large quantities on the skin of the face, then first use a remote point technique. The wand nozzle is placed directly above the element at a distance of about 5 mm and held in this position for about 10-20 seconds at high voltage - a spark discharge is created, which has a cauterizing and bactericidal effect.

As the inflammation dries and resolves, a contact technique can be performed using a mushroom-shaped attachment. This will reduce the likelihood of relapses and prevent scarring.

If there are a small number of inflamed elements, first use the contact method without touching them, and then change the nozzle and treat the inflamed areas using the pinpoint method. Course up to 10-15 sessions every other day.

In order to reduce oily skin, use a mushroom-shaped attachment, the movements of which are made in the directions towards the ears from the nose and from the center of the forehead. In this case, the tip of the nozzle is installed at an angle to the surface of the skin so that one of its edges is adjacent to the skin, and the opposite edge is 3-5 mm away from it.
