It is difficult to find a woman who would not dream of looking bright and well-groomed, attracting admiring glances from men. Gradually, natural beauty fades, so ladies are looking for any way to regain their former youth. Salon procedures are considered one of the most common ways of complex facial skin care. Numerous peelings, masks, cleanings have already been mastered by the fair sex. Let's analyze myostimulation devices: professional, household.
Features of myostimulation
Sometimes this procedure is called myolifting. A special effect of minor electrical impulses on the skin is intended to tone the skin. As a result of such a procedure, blood circulation improves, facial muscles are activated. This method is not innovative. The first sessions of myolifting were held at the end of the last century in physiotherapy. But at that time, the procedure was not aimed at rejuvenating the skin of the face, but to restore human activity after prolonged immobility. Then the device for myostimulation began to be actively used in sports medicine, and only after that it was masteredbeauticians.
Carrying out myostimulation of the skin of the body
Myolifting can be performed not only for facial muscles, but also in other parts of the body. This effect is often referred to as "gymnastics for the lazy", since thanks to electromagnetic impulses, muscle contraction occurs without additional effort on the part of the woman. Such an unusual massage can be performed on the chest, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, giving the body elasticity, eliminating orange peel.
Consequences of the procedure
If you use the machine for myostimulation at home, you can get the following results:
- simulate the oval of the face;
- reduce double chin;
- eliminate bruising under the eyes;
- even out mimic wrinkles;
- increase skin elasticity;
- improve blood circulation;
- bring to the desired tone the muscles of the neck and face.
Due to the contraction of muscle fibers, the process of positive transformations starts in the body. The need for oxygen increases, as a result of which the work of the heart improves, capillaries become wider, breathing evens out.
Frequency of the procedure
The device for myostimulation is designed for a current not exceeding 15 mA. The electromagnetic pulse has a frequency of up to 150 Hz. Such a procedure is carried out not in a single variant, but in a certain course. The number of sessions andthe frequency of their repetitions, determined by the cosmetologist, depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's skin, her state of he alth. In the absence of any contraindications, 15 sessions are usually sufficient (2-3 procedures per week).
Common appliances
In order to understand which is better to take a device for myostimulation, we offer an overview of the main devices used by professional cosmetologists. Among the common and popular devices, we note the Russian ESMA, Galeta, as well as the Chinese Radium, the Italian Maya Beauty Engineering.
Professional cosmetologists prefer to purchase and use domestic myostimulation apparatus in their work. Feedback on the work of this technique testifies to the high quality of products, reliability, long service life of Russian equipment.
Features of the procedure
To begin with, the master removes make-up, then light peeling. In order to increase the conductivity of electric current, a special gel or mask is applied to the face. From above, electrodes are fixed at certain points. Apparatus for myostimulation of the body (professional) involves applying a film to the electrodes, only after that the operation of the apparatus begins. The average duration of the operation is twenty minutes. The pressotherapy apparatus (myostimulation) does not cause any unpleasant or painful sensations in the patient. Only in the presence of individual intolerance may an unpleasant reaction occur. Given the fact that it is necessary to do a full range of procedures to obtain the desired result, the pleasure is not cheap. Therefore, many people prefer to use myostimulation devices at home, saving on the services of a professional cosmetologist.
Contraindications
For any medical procedure, certain contraindications are possible, and myostimulation is no exception. Patients who have a pacemaker have been diagnosed with a malignant tumor, arrhythmia, epilepsy, disorders in the functioning of the kidneys and liver, mental illness, tuberculosis, such sessions are categorically not recommended. Ladies who have done beauty injections, with the help of myostimulation, can accelerate the resorption of the filler. Indications for such procedures are mimic wrinkles, the presence of a second chin, overhanging eyelids.

Regardless of which device you choose for home use, it is important to carefully study the instructions and the list of contraindications. You can visit several myolifting sessions with a professional cosmetologist to understand the specifics of such a procedure, and then proceed to independentskin rejuvenation.
It is undesirable to purchase models made by dubious manufacturers, trying to save material resources. Choose electrodes made of high quality silicone. In this case, they will be completely adjacent to the skin, you will get the maximum result from the procedures.
The algorithm for conducting a home session is no different from a traditional salon procedure. First you need to carefully remove all remnants of cosmetics from the face, perform peeling. Then a certain gel is applied to the skin, which is recommended by the manufacturer of the device. Then, electrodes are applied to certain points indicated in the instructions for the device.
First, a small amount of current is applied. In order to accustom the skin to myolifting, after the first course, you need to let the skin rest for several months.
Types of myostimulators
There are many Chinese devices on the market that operate on rechargeable batteries. They have a low cost, but they do not give much effect. Low power does not allow you to set different frequency and pulse modes, so you will not get much effect from such sessions. Italian and French devices are of high quality, but the domestic device (Galatea).

A good device designed for home procedures should have several exposure modes. The high quality device provides the muscles with torsion twisting, which leads to the removal of toxins and excess moisture.
