According to European experts, stimulating the skin with a weak electric current helps to increase the content of elastin by 40-50 percent and collagen by 10-12 percent. As a result of the effect of the current on the inner layers of the epidermis, the cells divide faster, and due to the improvement of blood flow, they receive an additional supply of nutrients. The amount of chemical elements in skin cells increases. Increased oxygen supply occurs. Creams and masks are better absorbed after the procedure.

Darsonvalization
This method was originally used in physiotherapy to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes. The name comes from the surname of the French physicist and physiotherapist d'Arsonval. At high voltages, high-frequency alternating current is applied to parts of the body through glass tubes. In cosmetology, this procedure has become popular due to its availability, lack of side effects and simplicity.

Facial myostimulation
Myostimulation procedure can be performed in beauty salons, aesthetic medical centers and at home. The device affects the muscles with a series of electrical impulses (through the skin electrodes). Muscle contractions after stimulation by the apparatus may be associated with cramps during maximum physical exertion. This helps to significantly increase skin tone and smoothness. Typically, the following steps are required to use the machine:
- to clean the skin from cosmetic products;

Most muscle stimulators are battery operated. There are some contraindications to its use, so it is advisable to consult a specialist before using it.
Microdermabrasion
This is a method of covering the skin using abrasives. Based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate keratinized parts of the skin. Microparticles of corrosive substances have good penetration properties. Skin erosion (skin renewal) opens the way for further growth of skin tissue. Currently, two types of abrasives are used in devices: diamond powder and aluminum dioxide. After processing, the remaining abrasive dust is cleaned using a vacuum.
Cryotherapy
This method is based on the body's response to cooling. After a short-term strong decrease in temperature, various hormones, including endorphins and adrenaline, are released into the skin, increasing immunity and blood supply. Now in beauty salons several different devices cryotherapy are applied. Some of them are:
- device cryo-spray: liquid nitrogen (between -180 and -50 degrees) is sprayed by a special device;
- cryoelectrophoresis: frozen chemicals are injected under the skin with electrical impulses;
- cryocameras: rooms with cold air and nitrogen (-130 degrees) for the whole body.
Galvanotherapy
These devices are based on the use of low voltage low voltage pulses (40-50mA). The effect is an increase in the content of histamine, serotonin and other active components in the subcutaneous layer. Cosmetic technology uses devices for iontophoresis and disinfection. The first type of device transmits current to the skin surface through special currents. Used for couperosis, acne, pigmentation, smoothing wrinkles. The second type of devices is designed for cleaning. Combines the use of alkaline solutions with galvanization. Loosening the skin helps to deeply degrease it and get rid of dead skin scales.

Devices for other purposes, such as ultrasound and laser liposuction, work on the principles of tissue cleansing and stimulation. These methods are used to remove excess weight, fat deposits. Laser peeling not only removes the top layer of the epidermis, but also increases blood circulation and muscle tone when exposed to light waves. Innovative laser coating with fractional lasers, very deep cleaning, practically does no harm.
KNOWLEDGE: Unlike the invasive category, the hardware category of procedures in aesthetic medicine is less complicated, more painless, and less traumatic to use. Ideal for those who support minimal interference with the body's natural processes.
There is a device shell for home use. In particular, ultrasonic peeling machines clean the skin, remove dead particles, thereby stimulating metabolic processes and new cell growth. With enlarged pores, they help shrink. The result of the procedure is an increase in the smoothness of the skin, changing its color to warmer and fresher shades. Nozzles for mechanical and vacuum types of peeling are also common for household appliances.
