Myostimulation devices

Devices for myostimulation are, in most cases, devices that make the face fit beautiful, also help get rid of cellulite and make the figure fit. The procedure using this device is most often called electrotherapy or electrical stimulation . Apparatus for myostimulation uses alternating current - pulsed, low frequency. Before carrying out this procedure, electrodes are glued to certain places on the body exactly at the points of muscles and nerves. During myostimulation , a short impulse causes muscle contraction, which relaxes between contractions. All this is the reason for the forced stimulation of the muscles . Myostimulation strengthens and clearly increases the elasticity of weakened muscles and models the oval of the face. After electrical stimulation , the skin will become toned, flexible and lighter. Buying a muscle stimulator is the right choice.

Myostimulator allows you to positively influence such skin problems as:

• flabbiness of the skin in the upper eyelid;
• significant bags under the eyes, puffiness;
• smoothing fine wrinkles;
• tightening the skin, stimulating muscles with their weak tone;
• correction of the contours of the face and body;
• elimination of problems with the appearance of cellulite.

Depending on the functionality, devices for myostimulation come in different price categories, but at the same time they have almost the same effects on muscle tissue:

• relaxing with hypertension;
• activation of lipolysis, reduction of body fat;
• stimulation of blood supply and lymph flow.

Contraindications to the procedure

All procedures using electrical impulses should take place only after consulting a cosmetologist. Since there are a number of contraindications to these procedures. What applies to them:

• systemic blood diseases;
• tendency to bleed;
• liver failure;
• neoplasms on the skin;
• pregnancy;
• tuberculosis;
• severe joint problems;
• pronounced skin diseases;
• very strong sensitivity to current impulses.

Carrying out the procedure of myostimulation

Before starting the procedure with electrical impulses , it is imperative to do a face peeling to remove dead skin cells of the epidermis, as it makes the procedure a little more difficult.

The electrodes are superimposed on the so-called motor points - the points of penetration of the motor nerve into the muscle sheath. By placing the electrodes at the correct points, it is possible to engage all muscle fibers.

Very often, the electrodes are fixed on the body with the help of special belts. Also, cosmetologists can use disposable electrodes, they are glued like a patch. There is no difference between the material of the electrode, they all perform the same functions, the difference is only in their processing and ease of use.

The main frequency for the electrical stimulation procedure is 30-150 Hz. In no case should the current strength be increased, this will not lead to a good result. Initially, the minimum current strength is set and gradually increased. This procedure should not cause discomfort or pain. Devices for myostimulation can be bought in our store inexpensively.

When carrying out the myostimulation procedure, you should not immediately increase the tension that affects the muscles. In some salons, they can immediately set a large current, this tactic can immediately show its result. The skin will become tightened after the first procedure. But, this does not mean at all that this result will be able to hold out for a long time. To conduct therapeutic electrical stimulation , you need to go through not one session, but at least four. With each procedure, the muscles get used to the load, so it will be possible to increase the current strength, change the duration of the pulse series or polarity. About three sessions will be enough for the muscles to get used to effective contractions without pain. Do not increase the duration of myostimulation. This can lead to a rapid adaptation of the muscles to the load, due to which the effectiveness of the procedure will be significantly reduced. Sometimes discomfort may occur during the procedure, this can happen for the following reasons: poorly fixed electrodes, too little gel is applied under the areas where the electrodes are fixed, veins are too close, stretch marks on the skin, too much current is selected.

• before the procedure, it is necessary to make sure that there are no contraindications for the procedure;
• you need to correctly install the electrodes;
• make sure that the skin contact with the electrodes is good;
• the procedure should not take more than half an hour;
• if myostimulation is carried out to build muscle mass, then after it you should immediately get protein food;
• if the procedure is aimed at losing weight, after it you should refrain from eating fatty foods.
