Problem skin, prone to increased sebum secretion, with enlarged pores, covered with small comedones, requires a special approach to choosing a cleaning method, since an incorrectly performed procedure for freeing skin pores from dense sebaceous plugs can lead to the development of inflammation. Skin cleansing with & nbsp; electric current in the process of deincrustation allows not only to carefully free the skin from comedones, but also close the pores, give the skin smoothness and a healthy glow.
Due to what the skin is cleansed during deincrustation
The essence of the skin cleansing deincrustation procedure is that a special alkaline-based lotion is applied to the skin, which acts as a conductive medium between the skin and electrical charges. Under the action of a negative electrode, an alkaline solution combines with a fatty acid to form soap: comedones in the sebaceous glands are saponified, dissolved and easily removed, so the procedure is suitable even for cleansing sensitive skin. A galvanic electric current acting on the skin through an alkaline lotion produces the following additional actions:
- opens pores,
- increases microcirculation and vascular permeability,
- increases cellular metabolism,
- loosens the skin and cleanses dead skin cells.
Lotions for for skin dezincrustation, they usually contain, in addition to the alkaline base, magnesium ions, potassium ions and other microelements important for the skin, aloe extract to provide anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects.
How is the skin cleansed during deincrustation
The method of skin cleansing using electric current pulses involves a number of standard procedures – such as make-up removal of the face, application of tonic agents to the skin. Then a special disincrustant solution is applied to the face, which helps to open pores and soften dense comedones. Next, the patient is given a positive electrode in his hands, and the doctor treats the skin of the face with a negatively charged electrode, conducting it with sliding movements in the directions of the massage lines. The emphasis in cleansing the skin is on the T-zone and other areas where the skin is especially oily. The procedure lasts no more than 10 minutes, but for sensitive skin it is better to limit yourself to a three-minute exposure.
Cleaned skin should be rinsed with plenty of water to free it from saponification products. Then the electrodes change places, the skin is treated with a tonic and a positive electrode – to close the pores and restore the acid-base balance of the skin.
At the end of the procedure, the skin looks significantly brighter, degreased, slight redness is possible. The patient may feel a slight tightness of the skin. Skin cleansing is completed by applying a moisturizing mask and a nourishing protective cream according to the patient's skin type. The procedure for cleansing the face by the method of disincrustation is carried out in a course up to ten times every other day.
Who benefits from skin cleansing with decontamination and when the procedure is undesirable
The main indication for skin cleansing by deincrustation is oily or combination skin with wide pores and a large number of dense small comedones. Skin cleansing with galvanic current is recommended for sensitive skin, dense infiltrated skin, if there is follicular hyperkeratosis, if there are signs of photoaging.
A side effect of deincrustation may be dry skin, redness, a feeling of tightness and tingling. Sometimes patients report a metallic taste in their mouth during the procedure.
Cleansing the skin with current is contraindicated if the patient has a pacemaker, as well as in case of purulent inflammations, injuries, herpetic rashes on the skin, manifestations of rosacea.
A pleasant addition to skin cleansing by deincrustation is the smoothing of fine wrinkles, lifting of the facial contour, increasing skin tone and improving its color.
