Darsonval for face against acne * How to use at home, reviews

What is the device

There are several types of devices of this type. To treat acne at home, use the Darsonval “Corona” device (“Novator”).

The device is a compact device that operates from the network. A current intensity regulator is located on the body. The kit includes several glass electrodes designed for different needs.

The attachments used to treat acne are called “Drop” and “Mushroom”. The first is used for spot cauterization. The second is a vacuum tube, inside which a spark is created, resulting in the production of ozone, which has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect on the affected tissue.

The procedure is contraindicated if

pregnancy;
heart rhythm disturbances, severe heart failure, implanted pacemaker, severe hypertension;
tuberculosis;
epilepsy;
blood diseases;
bleeding, thrombophlebitis;
hypertrichosis, hirsutism;
hysteria and other acute mental conditions;
oncological diseases;
hyperthermia (increased body temperature);
intolerance to electric current.

How Darsonval works against acne

The principle of operation of the Darsonval apparatus is the effect of alternating current on inflamed areas of the skin. It can be used to cauterize individual pimples.

The short pulses of electric current created also have the following effects on tissue:

improve local blood circulation;
inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria;
relieve the inflammatory process;
eliminate swelling;
reduce pain;
trigger faster regeneration;
normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
increase the protective barrier of dermal cells.

Additionally, Darsonval therapy saturates tissues with oxygen and makes them more elastic. The device is proven to be effective against acne spots, scars and scars due to its absorbent action. In addition, it effectively fights the vascular network and prevents the appearance of so-called stars on the face, thanks to the acceleration of blood microcirculation and strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

Despite the high safety of this technique in the treatment of acne, there are many contraindications to the procedure. The risk of side effects cannot be excluded. For these reasons, before using Darsonval against acne at home, you should definitely consult a dermatologist.

Darsonval what is it

First, a little about what darsonval for the face is. This is a device that uses high-frequency electrotherapy. That is, a pulsed, rapidly decaying current of high frequency, high voltage and low current is directed to problem areas (not only the face, since this is a broad-spectrum device).

It sounds creepy, of course, but if it’s short and clear, the essence of the treatment is targeted electric shock.

One of the most characteristic effects of darsonvalization is the vegetative-vascular reaction of both the skin and internal organs. Under the influence of current, microcirculation increases, arterioles and capillaries expand, and venous activity improves at the same time, which leads to an increase in the tone of the vein walls and increased venous outflow.

Example from life:

At about the age of one, my son developed warts. The treatment method was reduced to burning with liquid nitrogen. I don’t think there is any need to talk about what a painful procedure this is, especially for a small child; it was not without tears. This went on for several years, once a year we cauterized them, but they appeared again! I purchased Darsonval for myself, after a visit to a cosmetologist, to combat problematic skin and age-related changes. But after reading the instructions, I decided to try a device for removing hated warts. After several sessions they disappeared , and most importantly, they did not appear again !

And now more about how to use darsonval for the face.

Dermatological indications

The device is used in the treatment of many diseases. Its use in dermatology is relevant for:

acne;
boils;
acne spots;
scars and scars;
rosacea;
eczema;
psoriasis;
seborrhea.

Darsonval for acne is effective for various types of acne. It is used for purulent, internal, subcutaneous, painful and red acne.

Darsonvalization is used to treat acne not only on the face, but also on the back, chest, neck and other parts of the body.

Effect and benefits of the procedure

Today, people with problem skin have been offered many preventive and therapeutic physiotherapeutic measures that cope well with acne, blemishes and scars, but darsonvalization takes a leading position and there are several reasons for this.

It’s not for nothing that the device has many fans. Numerous positive reviews confirm that as a result of pulse physiotherapy:

inflammation is relieved;
pimples and blackheads dry out;
seals dissolve;
blood microcirculation is normalized;
improves complexion;
the elasticity of the skin is partially restored;
the tone of blood vessels and capillaries increases;
the sensitivity of pain receptors decreases;
the activity of the sweat and sebaceous glands is inhibited;
hair growth accelerates.

Darsonvalization is carried out in the salon and at home. One session is enough to dry out the developing pimple. However, for larger-scale beauty projects - improving the structure and color of the skin, treating extensive rashes, it is necessary to carry out a course of 15-20 procedures. And most likely, they will need to be repeated after the break. One attempt will not change your facial skin significantly.

When undergoing a full course of procedures at home or in the salon, the patient can receive the following results:

elimination of edema
improving overall skin tone
removal of toxins from the body by increasing blood circulation
elimination of inflammatory processes on the skin, redness, acne, acne, pimples
improvement of complexion
increasing skin firmness and elasticity, rejuvenation, eliminating fine wrinkles around the mouth, near the eyes and on the forehead by accelerating skin regeneration processes
reducing the secretion of sebum by the glands, normalizing their work
narrowing of pores
wound healing, smoothing scars, acne marks, cicatrices
increased tone of the walls of arteries, capillaries, vessels under the skin
decreased sweating
supply of oxygen to the skin
improved sleep

The advantages of the procedure are that it:

painless
harmless
available. (can be carried out not only in salons, but also at home)
highly effective

Methods of use

Darsonval for acne is used by contact and non-contact methods.

During the contact procedure, the inflamed elements and their consequences in the form of spots and scars are gradually eliminated. In this case, the electrode slides directly over the surface of the dermis. Current impulses lead to irritation of nerve fibers located in the thickness of the protective covers. This in turn causes intense local microcirculation. A short-term spasm occurs in the vessels, which is immediately replaced by a long-term expansion. Due to this, cellular respiration is activated and local immunity is strengthened. The growth of bacteria is suppressed and inflammation is eliminated more quickly, and sebum production is reduced.

The contact technique is not recommended in the presence of purulent and multiple pimples on the face.

With the non-contact method, the distance between the nozzle and the skin is maintained from 3 to 10 mm. During the procedure, crackling sounds are heard and “cold sparks” jump out. To cauterize individual inflamed elements, the electrode is placed at a distance of 1 cm from its location. During the procedure, pathogenic bacteria are killed due to the impact of charged ions and ozone produced by the device itself. Small rashes dry out. In the presence of purulent contents, the most rapid resolution of necrotic masses occurs, and the process of tissue regeneration begins.

The non-contact method improves blood circulation, relieves inflammation, has a bactericidal effect and promotes faster healing of damaged tissues.

Darsonval for acne: how to use

Before use, the skin must be cleansed of impurities and sebum using a cleansing gel or milk. After this, the dermis is allowed to dry completely.

The nozzle used is treated with any antiseptic (alcohol, chlorhexidine, etc.).

Before starting to use the Darsonval apparatus, it is recommended to apply specialized talc to the skin of the face, which will improve the glide of the attachment over the skin.

First, the inflamed elements are cauterized with a “Drop” electrode using a non-contact method to prevent severe burns. In order to cauterize the inflamed element, the maximum current intensity is set. The device is kept at approximately a distance of 5-10 mm from the integument.

After this, the rash is affected locally by contact using the “Mushroom” attachment, reducing the intensity of the current.

In the presence of many inflamed elements, an exclusively non-contact method of treatment with Darsonval using a mushroom-shaped electrode is used. Once the regeneration process has begun, the device can be used for the entire face, excluding the area around the eyes.

During the session, the nozzles are driven along the massage lines with “stroking movements.” Otherwise, there is a high risk of disruption of the natural outflow of lymph and the occurrence of lymphostasis. In the non-contact method, tangential movements are used. The current intensity is increased gradually.

During the procedure, the patient feels a slight tingling and warmth in the tissues, which is completely natural. If a burning sensation occurs, the current intensity should be reduced.

The treatment session is continued for 10-15 minutes. After completing the manipulations, apply a moisturizing non-comedogenic cream. At the end of the procedure, mild hyperemia is observed.

In the first week of use, the condition of the skin may worsen, after which a period of remission begins.

The full course will require 15-20 procedures. After a few months, treatment can be repeated if necessary.

Experts do not recommend using Darsonval for acne at home without special skills and knowledge.

Darsonval device for the face: application

The darsonval apparatus is a cosmetic physiotherapeutic device for darsonvalization. It consists of a generator and transformer (in one block) and special glass electrodes-nozzles filled with compressed air.

The electrodes have different shapes: comb-shaped, stick-shaped, mushroom-shaped, etc. Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed of cosmetics and impurities, and degreased with tonic.

With the contact method, darsonvalization is sometimes carried out using talcum powder (for oily skin).

Although some experts believe that talc, on the contrary, contributes to clogging of pores and the formation of comedones.

The procedure for dry skin is carried out using cream, sometimes after a mask.

Next, having selected the appropriate nozzle, currents are applied using a contact (silent discharge) or remote (spark discharge) method.

At the end of the session, a moisturizing or nourishing cream is applied to the skin.

special instructions

When using Darsonval for the first time against acne, the exposure time should not exceed 5 minutes. Subsequently, the duration of the session is gradually increased and brought to 10-15 minutes.

Before starting the procedure, it is imperative to remove all metal jewelry (earrings, bracelets, chains, etc.).

During the period of darsonvalization, it is necessary to refrain from using products that have a drying and irritating effect on the skin. These include acid-based drugs used in acne therapy: Baziron AS, Skinoren, Azelik, salicylic acid, etc.

Types of attachments for acne treatment

When choosing a device for facial care, pay attention to the fact that its different models may differ in the following parameters:

voltage;
power;
number and types of nozzles;
AC frequency.

If you are going to perform darsonvalization of your face, choose a device equipped with the following attachments:

"Petal". Designed for treating hard-to-reach areas - nose, ears. It has an elongated shape with an extension at the end in the form of an elongated drop.

"Comb". According to the name, it is made in the form of a comb and is intended for processing hair follicles.

"Fork". The design of the nozzle, shaped like a miniature rake, allows you to effectively treat the chin, forehead and neck. Using the “Fork” you can eliminate swelling and cellulite.

"Fungus". You won't need this device if you have dry skin. If you have oily dermis, using “Mushroom” you can tighten your pores. It is also an excellent remedy against fine lines and wrinkles. With regular use of the nozzle, the process of elastin production is accelerated.

“Drop” is the main striking force in the treatment of pimples and acne. It acts precisely and gives quick, lasting results.

As for such an indicator as current strength, it should be no more than 0.02 mA. Otherwise, you risk getting burns on your skin.

Side effects

If the Darsonval device is used incorrectly, it is possible to provoke the development of adverse reactions, namely:

the occurrence of neoplasms;
the appearance of burns;
facial hair growth;
lymphostasis.

To reduce the risk of developing negative effects, you should not exceed the number of recommended sessions and time of use.

Before working with the device yourself, you should consult a cosmetologist-dermatologist who will teach you how to use the device correctly.

There are other adverse reactions caused by the device that are independent of its correct use. The device can provoke the development of an allergic reaction. This is due to the fact that under the influence of charged ions, histamine is released, which can cause current intolerance.

Contraindications for use

Before using the Darsonval device for acne, you should make sure that there are no contraindications. The use of the device is strictly prohibited in the following cases:

the presence of neoplasms of any etiology;
a large number of moles at the site of exposure;
cardiovascular pathologies;
thyroid pathology;
epilepsy;
tuberculosis;
blood diseases;
pregnancy period;
increased vegetation on the body and face in women.

It is also not recommended to use the device if the integrity of the skin at the site of exposure is compromised, if there are spider veins or chronic dermatoses.

Features of use at home

The effect will only occur if Darsonval is used correctly. This also means the safety of using the device. Please note the following:

Do not use the device in damp rooms or outdoors.
There should be no conductive surfaces nearby.
Do not spray aerosols while using Darsonval.
The device must not be covered.

You should also take into account the presence of contraindications for use:

malignant and benign oncology;
heart problems;
pregnancy;
tuberculosis;
epilepsy, etc.

Before you start using the device, discuss the issue with your doctor.

Reviews about the treatment of acne with Darsonval

Those treated with the darsonvalization hardware technique most often leave positive reviews about this procedure. If used incorrectly, users experience adverse reactions, which causes negative comments.

It should be noted that the Darsonval device is an additional, but not the main method of treating acne. In case of mild acne, additional skin care products and local antibacterial preparations are mandatory. In case of severe acne, in addition to local medications, systemic medications are used for oral administration in the form of retinoids or antibiotics.

Darsonvalization - reviews

I purchased the Darsonval pulse electric massager after my hairdresser offered to take a Darsonvalization course in their salon; for 10 procedures I had to pay 2,000 rubles.

I had never heard anything about darsonvalization before (my mother is a physiotherapist), so I decided to first find out what it is. When I read the information about this device, I wanted to buy it and use it as much as I wanted.

For those who don’t like to read a lot of letters, I’ll say right away that this electric massager is suitable for almost any part of the body, it helps fight hair loss, it is often used in cosmetology and to treat various diseases. Darsonval replaces my cosmetologist and physiotherapist's office.

Darsonval

For those who are not too lazy to read, I will share how I use this electric massager and what results I got.

What is Darsonvalization:

Hair (Take 1)

From birth, I always had thin and not very thick hair, so this device was supposed to increase blood flow to the hair follicles, thereby strengthening and stimulating hair growth.

To be honest, I was a little skeptical about increasing hair growth; for me it was something out of science fiction.

The procedure must be done at least 20 times, and preferably 30 times for 10-15 minutes. To do this you will need a Comb attachment.

Darsonval

I run it over the scalp from the forehead, where hair growth begins, to the back of the head, thus combing it all over the head, while keeping the hair clean. When the nozzle comes into contact with the skin, microcurrent discharges occur, which can be adjusted up or down. First I do quiet discharges, when my head gets used to it, I intensify them.

At the same time, I try not to comb the hair itself, since Darsonval also dries it out, which is good for oily horse hair, but not so good for the hair itself. Sometimes after the procedure I do a hair mask, but sometimes there is not enough time. At first I didn’t see any results, and I wasn’t particularly upset...

Darsonval

Acne (Pimples).

I found this device useful for treating acne.

, who apparently did not want to leave me since adolescence. And Darsonval removes pimples very quickly, you need to do several procedures with the “Drop” attachment, the hated pimple dries up and disappears.

darsonval

This attachment is the most painful, as it is used with an air gap, and small current discharges occur between your skin and the attachment, which are visible to the naked eye.

Hair (Take 2).

Let's return again to the hair, which I happily forgot about after the procedures done.

After some time (I don’t even remember), I noticed unusual fluff-like antennae on my head, there were a lot of them and they were very thin and long. I even felt sick, that’s it, I think my hair is thinning, I’m going bald….

I decided to read the instructions for Darsonval more carefully and this is what it turned out to be: these vellus hairs are nothing more than new hair, which were “born” as a result of the influence of Darsonval on the scalp. And in order for the hair structure to become thicker, it is necessary to do several more procedures, which I did. My joy knew no bounds, my hair really became thicker, which means the device is working.

Hair (Take 3).

After giving birth, my hair began to fall out rapidly, I was afraid to wash my hair, it seemed to me that it would be washed off my head along with the shampoo. I started using Darsonval in December 2013.

And here’s what I grew after two months, the photos were taken in February 2014.

Please don’t laugh, you have to walk around with such “beauty”, but it’s better than without hair. Perhaps hair growth would have started without Darsonval, but I already know that the device turned out to be effective for hair, so in this case its role is not secondary.

Darsonval

April 2014

After washing, the heads stick out in different directions.

Darsonval

The hair has grown a little and can be combed, although some still stick out.

Darsonval

The hair saga is not over yet, so to be continued...

Darsonval in cosmetology.

It is used to improve tone and smooth out wrinkles, to narrow pores, and to normalize sebum production (it dries out my skin, so I always apply cream after electromassage).

Here I also carried out a course of procedures, but with a different “Mushroom” attachment.

Darsonval

After some time, the result shocked me, the skin itself was in perfect condition, really smooth and without inflammation,

BUT!…. I noticed increased hair growth on my face!!!

There were a lot of small hairs and they were quite dense (perhaps I missed the moment when they were vellus, like with hair), I could even calmly pry and pluck them with my nails and they calmly left their hole. I didn’t want to look like Mowgli, so I gave up facial procedures.

If you already have increased facial hair growth, then you need to be extremely careful with this attachment.

But sometimes I do the procedure with the “Drop” attachment, especially in those places where there are wrinkles (for example, facial wrinkles on my forehead), in order to enhance collagen production

I rub it directly over the wrinkles several times and mentally imagine how they are smoothed out; after all, expression lines are difficult to fight, but I don’t give up.

darsonval

Cold (runny nose, throat).

Darsonval helps me with a cold

, especially when there is a runny nose, in this case I use it as follows: I move the “Mushroom” attachment on both sides of the lower part of the nose and where the maxillary sinuses are, thereby increasing blood circulation in this area, in the process of which the swelling of the mucous membrane is relieved and the inflammatory process goes away faster.

During the procedure, ozone is released, which has bactericidal properties, therefore the air is also disinfected,

which I also inhale while I am doing this manipulation.

For a sore throat

, I pass the electrode along the neck, in the places where the tonsils are projected.

Darsonval

Cellulite.

Tried to get rid of cellulite

, but this is a very long and tedious task, only for those who are especially diligent, since there are many problem areas on the body, and sitting on each one for 10 minutes is a bit difficult for me.

And it’s not entirely convenient to carry out such procedures on yourself, especially on the back of the legs and buttocks, so it didn’t last me long.

If I have time, I’ll do some work on my stomach, everything is much simpler here.

Darsonval

Varicose veins

I did several procedures on my legs, where small wreaths appeared; here comes the “Fungus” attachment. The nozzle was moved from bottom to top in the direction of lymph movement, due to this, blood circulation improves and the walls of blood vessels are strengthened.

After the procedure, I applied some cream, for example Lyoton or with Bodyaga. The effect of the device is especially noticeable when some vein “twitches”, and after the procedures, “calms down”.

Darsonval

Scars, wounds.

Darsonval also heals wounds and scars very well, sterilizing the skin and drying the surface. It is very important to move the electrode only along the edge of the wound (within a radius of 5-7 cm), where the skin is not damaged.

A post-operative scar that I got after an unsuccessful vacuum massage procedure.

Darsonval

Darsonval is used to treat many diseases, here are some of them:

Darsonval also has contraindications

and they should under no circumstances be neglected. From my own experience I know that this is very serious.

Review about the device itself.

Price

in 2006 - 1900 rubles.

Darsonval is very easy and convenient to use, it is really effective, it can be used for preventive purposes and for the treatment of various diseases.

This pulse massager is a very useful and necessary home device, but it is only suitable for those who are patient, those who take it upon themselves and finish everything to the end.

If someone plans one-time manipulations, unfortunately there will be no result.

Be healthy and take care of yourself!
