Physiotherapeutic procedures used to care for normal skin

For the implementation of complex procedures for intensive care of the face and neck skin, a modern cosmetology room should be equipped with a number of physiotherapeutic devices. Consider the example of normal skin, the functions that they can perform.

• Vaporization. In combination with an ozone lamp it is used to steam the face skin before vacuum and mechanical cleaning, as well as to improve the absorption of cosmetic creams and masks. The method is contraindicated in the presence of a network of dilated blood vessels and with a dry type of skin.
• Peeling-brossazh. It is carried out with the help of different size and rigidity of brushes, sponges, pumice stones and peeling creams. It is not recommended to work cross-hair brushes on the skin of the face for more than 3-5 minutes. Using this method can effectively cleanse the skin, causing a mild expansion of blood vessels. Contraindications are pustular skin lesions of the face, fungal, viral skin lesions of the face, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, allergic dermatitis.
• Disincrustation. It is a physical, superficial peeling. The method is based on the principle of galvanization, using solutions of bicarbonate or sodium chloride solution-disincrustant on the active electrode. Due to therapeutic electrolysis, a pH-altering skin alkali is formed at the negative pole, which facilitates the dissolution and removal of the secretion of the sebaceous glands from the excretory ducts.
• Vacuum spray. With the help of vacuum action, massage on gel and superficial cleansing of the skin (removal of open comedones, especially located in the region of the wings of the nose of the superciliary arches, between the eyebrows, under the lower lip) is carried out. Work in the mode of spraying (spray) using the corresponding type of skin lotions that exert a tonic, cooling, vasoconstrictor and pore-narrowing effect. The disadvantage of vacuum face cleaning is low efficiency, marked traumatization of surrounding tissues. Contraindication to the use of the method is the presence of a network of dilated blood vessels.
• In addition, in patients with normal skin type, darsonvalization is used. In general, a contact (both labile and stable) technique is used, the remote technique is rarely used, as it has a cauterizing effect. Darsonvalization is done according to talc, according to a dry antiseptic mask or after the final cream, for 5-10 minutes, every other day, for a course of 10-15 sessions.
• The use of ultrasound and iontophoresis makes it possible to intensify the effects of applied cosmetic products and medications. With the help of ultrasound, the peeling procedure is also carried out. To prevent wilting of the skin, the method of myostimulation is applied.
• When there are pronounced signs of withering, it is advisable to use myostimulation in combination with plastic massage and paraffin masks.
• Nowadays, the method of microcurrent therapy, as well as electrostatic massage, therapeutic laser, photo-compatibility, aromatherapy with essential oils and other relaxing procedures are widely used.
