According to research by European specialists, stimulating the skin with a weak electrical current helps to increase the content of elastin by 40-50 percent, collagen - by 10-12 percent. As a result of the action of the current in the inner layers of the epidermis, an accelerated division of cells occurs, an additional supply of nutrients due to an improvement in blood flow. The amount of chemical elements within skin cells increases. There is an increased supply of oxygen. After the procedure, creams and masks are better absorbed.

Darsonvalization
This method was originally used to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes in physiotherapy. Its name comes from the surname of the French physicist and physiotherapist d'Arsonval. High-voltage, 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
The myostimulation procedure can be performed both in beauty salons and aesthetic medicine centers, as well as at home. The device acts on the muscles with a series of electrical impulses (via skin electrodes). The muscular contractions caused by the stimulation of the apparatus can be correlated with the contractions during the maximum physical effort. This contributes to a significant increase in the tone and smoothness of the skin. Generally, the following steps are required to use the machine:
- clean the skin of cosmetics;
- set the required duration and intensity;
- placing electrodes on the face or body, they must be symmetrical;

Most muscle stimulants are battery powered. There are some contraindications to its use, so it is advisable to first consult a specialist before starting to use.
Microdermabrasion
This is a method of rejuvenating the skin with abrasive substances. It is based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate the keratinized parts of the skin. The abrasive microparticles have good penetration properties. Exfoliation (skin rejuvenation) frees space for further growth of skin tissue. Currently, the devices use two types of abrasive substances: diamond dust and aluminum dioxide. After processing, the remaining abrasive dust is removed with a vacuum.
Cryotherapy
This method is based on the body's response to cooldown. After a sharp short-term drop in temperature, various hormones, including endorphins and adrenaline, are released into the skin, increasing immunity and blood supply. Several different types of apparatus cryotherapy methods are now practiced in beauty salons. Some of them are:
- hardware cryo-spray: liquid nitrogen (-180 to -50 degrees) is sprayed through a special device;
- cryoelectrophoresis: frozen chemicals are injected under the skin using electrical impulses;
- cryochambers: chambers with cold air and nitrogen (-130 degrees) for the whole body.
Galvanotherapy
These devices are based on the use of weak electrical impulses (40-50mA) of low voltage. Its effect causes an increase in the content of histamine, serotonin and other active components in the subcutaneous layer. In cosmetic technology, devices for iontophoresis and disinfection are used. The first type of device transmits current to the surface of the skin through specialized accessories. Used to treat couperose, acne, pigmentation, smoothing facial wrinkles. The second type of device is designed for cleaning. Combine the use of alkaline solutions with galvanization. Loosening the skin contributes to its deep defatting and removing dead scales from the skin.

These methods are used to eliminate excess weight and fat deposits. Laser peeling not only removes the top layer of the epidermis, but improves blood circulation and muscle tone when exposed to light waves. The innovative laser resurfacing with fractional lasers, with a very deep cleaning, causes virtually no damage.
INFO: The category of procedural devices in aesthetic medicine, in contrast to the invasive category, is less complicated, more painless and non-traumatic to use. It is perfect for those who advocate minimal interference with the body's natural processes.

With enlarged pores, they contribute to their narrowing. The result of the procedure is an increase in the smoothness of the skin, changing its color to warmer and cooler tones. Also for household devices, nozzles for mechanical and vacuum peeling types are common.
