Microcurrent dezinkrustatsiya - a soft effect of currents of low intensity and disincrusting lotion, which allows you to obtain a pronounced saponifying effect without redness of the skin.
The main difference of this technique from the classical procedure of disinfestation is the magnitude of the current strength, it is 120-180 μA.
Due to the use of low-power current and frequency interference, the procedure of microcurrent disinfestation is not inferior to classical desincrustation in efficiency, and the absence of side effects (dry skin, reddening of the skin, metallic taste in the mouth, tingling, tingling on the skin) makes it the preferred method of choice.
Directivity of the method:
- saponification of excess skin secretion:
- skin cleansing;
- pore opening.
Indications for microcurrent disinfestation:
- a large number of small black-spot comedones;
- combined skin, including thin, dry, sensitive skin with comedones;
- oily, porous skin;
- dense infiltrated skin with follicular hyperkeratosis, with small dense comedones that are poorly removed by mechanical cleaning;
- photoaging;
- fine-wrinkled type of aging;
- deformation type of aging.
Alternative methods:
- disincrustation;
- ultrasonic peeling with disincrustation.
