Medicinal electrophoresis in cosmetology: the effectiveness of the method. Iontophoresis - a fashionable technique in cosmetology

The method that will be discussed is one of the oldest in physiotherapy. About 200 years ago, the Italian physicist A. Volta, satisfying his immense curiosity, created a continuous current generator. Luigi Galvani researched its effect first on frogs. Very soon galvanic current, as an undoubted "high tech" and newest word in science of the 19th century, began to be used in medicine. It turned out with good effect. And for about 100 years, galvanic current has been faithfully serving cosmetologists.

The use of galvanic current is quite diverse. IN modern cosmetology allocate following procedures: galvanization, iontophoresis, disincrustation and. Let's try to understand the terms.

The current used for procedures has traditional, well-established characteristics: (constant continuous, voltage 60-80 W., current strength up to 50 mA). Such a current is called galvanic. Because of this, the very impact on the body of such a current through various electrodes is called galvanization.

The introduction of various medicinal and cosmetic preparations using an electric current is called electrophoresis. Electrophoresis can be carried out using direct (galvanic) current, as well as using some types of pulsed currents.

electrophoresis

In cosmetology, electrophoresis drugs are more commonly referred to as iontophoresis. The term is not entirely accurate, but already familiar.
Thus, technically, iontophoresis differs from galvanization only in the presence of a medicinal substance under the electrode.

Electrophoresis (iontophoresis) saponifying substances in combination with the action of the negative pole of the galvanic current is used in cosmetology for the saponification of comedones. The procedure is called deincrustation, or galvanic cleaning.

The ability of galvanic current to deliver medicinal substances deep into the skin is used in the procedure of ion mesotherapy, or ionotherapy. In fact, this is electrophoresis of medicinal substances using stationary electrodes. The procedure is performed without injections. Indications, therapeutic tactics and cocktail recipes correspond to the schemes adopted in mesotherapy, adjusted for the phoreticity of drugs.

Thus:

Galvanization = therapeutic effect direct current
Iontophoresis \u003d galvanization + medicinal substance
Ionic mesotherapy = iontophoresis with stationary electrodes
Desincrustation = iontophoresis of saponifiers

The mechanism of action of the galvanization method

At the heart of the action of direct current is the process of electrolysis. Substances near the electrodes break down into ions. The ions move under the influence of current. Water molecules break down into H+ and OH- ions. Near the electrodes, ions interact with water, forming electrolysis products - acid and alkali.

Electrolysis products can cause chemical burns at the electrode site - alkaline burn under the cathode and acid burn under the anode. This is especially true for the stationary location of the electrodes. To avoid this, the electrode is separated from the skin with a hydrophilic pad. After the procedure, the gasket must be washed or changed.

A change in the concentration of ions leads to irritation of the skin receptors, with a slight burning sensation and tingling. The passage of current through tissues causes polarization - the accumulation of ions on biological membranes. At a certain concentration of ions, cells enter an excited (electrically active) state. Cellular and tissue metabolism, cell excitability change.

This increases the passive transport of large protein molecules and other substances that do not carry a charge (electrodiffusion), and hydrated ions (electroosmosis). This means an acceleration of cellular and intracellular renewal: a rapid supply building material, nutrients and regulatory substances, as well as the timely removal of metabolic products from the cell.

Galvanization

Galvanization is carried out stationary, movable electrodes or using trays. To conduct current, saline or a conductive gel is used.

The choice of active electrode depends on the indication. Negative and positive electrodes have different effects on tissues:

Indications: all types of seborrhea, dry aging skin, acne scars.

How do substances penetrate the skin with the help of current?

Constant electricity causes the movement of ions.
With the help of direct current, it is possible to inject through the skin and mucous membranes both small and larger particles of medicinal substances that carry an electric charge.
The method of introducing medicinal ions through the skin and mucous membranes with the help of current is called electrophoresis (iontophoresis).
Charged particles are repelled from the electrode of the same name and go deep into the skin.
Thus, negatively charged ions are introduced from the negative electrode.
The highest mobility of medicinal substances dissolved in water.
Injected drug ions penetrate the epidermis and accumulate in the upper layers of the dermis. During iontophoresis, substances go to a depth of up to 1.5 cm.
In the area of influence after the procedure, a depot is formed, from which the drug penetrates into the cells gradually. The period of action of the medicinal substance is from 3 hours to 15-20 days.

Technical terms

For the procedure, two electrodes are always used - positive and negative.
The negative electrode is called the cathode. Usually all wires and connections from the negative pole are made in black.
The positive electrode is called the anode. It is marked in red.
The electrodes that are used in the procedure can be of different sizes. On a smaller electrode, the current density is higher and its effect is more pronounced. The smaller electrode is called active.
The active electrode affects the problem area.
Passive (indifferent) - electrode larger area. It is usually held in the patient's hand or attached to the body.
A passive electrode can also carry a therapeutic load. Bipolar iontophoresis can be carried out - negatively charged ions will be absorbed from the negative electrode, and positively charged ions from the positive electrode, respectively.
If the electrodes are equal in area, more pronounced sensations occur under the negative electrode.
The polarity of a substance is the charge of its active particles. Ions of the same name are repelled from the electrode and go deep into the tissues. Therefore, negative ions are introduced from the negative electrode.

Types of electrodes for electrophoresis

For procedures, three main types of electrodes are used: labile, stationary and electrodes for galvanic baths.
Labile electrodes are used for sliding treatment of the skin of the face, neck, and décolleté. These are metal electrodes. different shapes. The form is selected for ease of use.
A conical electrode is usually used to work out the area around the eyes. Spherical or electrode roller - for cheeks, neck and decollete.
Labile electrodes must necessarily slide over the gel or aqueous solution. Drying the solution reduces the conductivity of the skin and unpleasant tingling appears.
Stationary electrodes are conductive plates that are fixed on the skin. Stationary electrodes are metal (lead or other metal plates), rubber (conductive latex), and graphite (disposable graphitized paper plates).
The stationary electrode is on the skin for 10-30 minutes. Therefore, under the electrode, there must be a gasket made of cloth or paper 0.5-1 cm thick. The gasket is moistened with water or saline. During iontophoresis, the pad is moistened with a solution of a medicinal substance.
The purpose of the pad is to improve current conduction and protect the skin from irritating substances that are produced on the electrodes.
The gasket must be washed or disinfected after each procedure. Easy to use disposable wipes.
Electrodes for galvanic baths are graphite plates that are placed in a container of water. In this case, all the water or solution behaves like an electrode. Absorption of medicinal substances into the skin comes from water.

Contraindications to galvanization

General for electrotherapy: oncological and pre-oncological diseases, febrile conditions, purulent processes, extensive violations of the integrity of the skin, systemic skin diseases, chronic cardiac and kidney failure, pregnancy, the presence of a pacemaker, individual current intolerance.

Specific (when working on the face): rashes, eczema, tooth sensitivity, dental cysts, diseases thyroid gland, cysts and tumor diseases of the breast.

Contraindications for iontophoresis

Contraindications to iontophoresis are all contraindications to galvanization plus intolerance to the injected substance.

More about the technique of iontophoresis and galvanization in cosmetology and about the substances that are used for this - in methodological guide"", in the book by N. Bakhovets on hardware facial cosmetology and ours.

Facial iontophoresis is one of the hardware cosmetic procedures performed on the basis of the galvanization method using low voltage current. At the same time, drugs are delivered to the skin that enhance its nutrition, hydration and help eliminate signs of aging.

The term "iontophoresis" stands for the transport of ions. Low current and voltage have the ability to change the structure of cell membranes. The skin becomes permeable, it begins to activate metabolism and regeneration processes.

This is due to the formation of electromagnetic fields when electrodes with different poles are applied to the surface of the skin. The formation of new ones begins, as well as the reorientation of existing ions in the blood, lymph, and interstitial fluid. different types tissues have different electrical conductivity. Electrodes applied to the skin provoke the processes of polarization, electroosmosis, electrodiffusion, irritation of nerve endings at all levels. This leads to vasodilation, which causes activation of lymphatic drainage and blood flow, and the skin pores open.

When current is used in conjunction with certain preparations containing ionized components, their movement to the opposite poles of the tissues begins. Penetrating to a depth of up to 5 mm into the dermis, they form a supply of substances in the tissue. This creates local concentrations of substances that improve cell function. Iontophoresis in cosmetology is used both for rejuvenation and for cleansing the skin of the face. This is done by the introduction of alkaline preparations and the method of galvanization. This effect is called deincrustation and is effective for acne, acne.

Preparations

The means used for iontophoresis consist of substances that decompose into ions in an electric field. The marking indicated on the package of the drug with a plus or minus sign indicates from which pole it must be administered. The procedure is carried out using an anode or cathode. The anode is intended for the introduction of metals and alkaloids in order to strengthen the skin, activate microcirculation, and relax. Preparations used for the electrode with a positive charge: vitamins (B1, B12, E), therapeutic mud, sulfate zinc, copper, aloe extract, hyaluronidase, zinc hyaluronate, saline.

The cathode is used for the introduction of metalloids, acids, indicated for fatty and mature skin. It produces the effect of softening the skin, activating nerve endings, and improving blood flow. Negatively charged electrode uses substances: hyaluronic acid, ascorbic and nicotinic acid (diluted with water 1:1), sodium salicylate, caffeine, water-soluble hydrocortisone succinate, unithiol or ichthyol, FIBS.

For the iontophoresis procedure, cocktails of several substances can also be used, but a specialist should select them. Iontophoresis passes without the appearance side effects, because drugs administered in ionic form do not contain impurities. From 5 to 10% of the substance used penetrates deep into the tissues.

Procedure

The stationary apparatus for iontophoresis has two types of electrodes: active and passive. In accordance with the desired effect, a negatively or positively charged electrode is selected and applied as an active one. He participates in the procedure. The second, passive, is in the patient's hand. Moistened hydrophilic pads are put on the electrodes. This helps to avoid chemical burn on delicate skin. Before the start of the session, the patient is freed from all available metal objects. The procedure consists of several stages:

Preliminary cleansing of the skin surface enzyme peeling with AHA - acids or galvanic decontamination.
A preparation chosen by a specialist is applied to the skin. Its charge is similar to the charge of the active electrode, which the specialist drives over a certain area.
At the end of the procedure, the skin is treated with a moisturizing lotion.

The duration of the session is from 15 to 30 minutes. The patient feels a slight burning sensation, which quickly disappears.

Iontophoresis of the face is prescribed for the effective solution of age-related, teenage problems with facial skin:

in order to eliminate, slow down the formation of wrinkles (it is better to start from the age of 35);
lifting of the oval of the face due to the activation of the facial muscles;
increase skin elasticity, its color;
creation of tissue hydration;
reduce nasolabial folds, crow's feet»;
saturate the skin with useful substances;
cleanse the skin of toxins, free radicals;
reduce the severity of scars, scars;
elimination of acne, its consequences.

As a result, the skin acquires healthy elasticity, color, smoothness. Enhanced elimination of toxins relieves acne. Small wrinkles are eliminated, large wrinkles are noticeably reduced. puffiness disappears, dark circles near the eyes. Iontophoresis is indicated not only for facial correction. It is also used to eliminate local deposits of fat, cellulite, varicose veins veins and stretch marks.

Iontophoresis for hyperhidrosis effectively eliminates excessive sweating. Water with drugs dissolved in it in the form of ions enters the sweat glands. The procedure slows down the process of excessive sweating without damaging the glands.

Contraindications

The iontophoresis procedure has contraindications similar to other hardware methods:

pregnancy, lactation;
oncology;
hyperthermia;
infectious diseases during the period of exacerbation;
problems with skin vessels;
heart rhythm failures;
maceration of the skin;
the presence of a pacemaker.

The iontophoresis procedure is in many cases a safe alternative to mesotherapy. In this case, iontophoresis can be used even at home. The combination of galvanic current and skin-friendly preparations allows you to achieve excellent results facial rejuvenation without surgery.

Today, anyone can purchase an electrophoresis device at a pharmacy or a specialized store. This device can be used at home. Therefore, these devices are often used to treat diseases that are associated with limited motor activity.

Electrophoresis is a combined method of treatment, a medicinal substance that is introduced into the body through current.

For electrophoresis, substances are used that dislocate into ions in solutions.

As solvents are used:

distilled water.
Saline With different meanings pH.
For water-soluble substances it is advisable to use dimethyl sulfoxide (dimexide).

The permeability of the skin for medicinal substances decreases in the direction from the head to the feet:

Maximum insight characterized by facial skin.
the greatest insight skin of legs and feet.

It should be noted that the permeability of the mucous membranes during the galvanic introduction of substances is 2–2.5 times greater than the permeability of the skin. The penetration depth of substances during electrophoresis is approximately 1 cm. With age, skin turgor decreases, which leads to a decrease in the amount of drug introduced into the body.

The rather low permeability of the skin for medicinal substances leads to the fact that about half of the administration of drugs is retained in the skin and, creating a depot there, causes the effect of a "microdropper".

Electrophoresis is characterized by prolonged exposure to drugs. If, under the action of galvanic current, the aftereffect lasts up to 4 hours after the session, then antibiotics remain in the depot for up to 3 days.

Adrenaline and norepinephrine are excreted from the body within a week. A rather promising modification of drug electrophoresis is internal organ electrophoresis, in which the required medication is administered intravenously and during the period of its highest concentration in the blood, galvanization is carried out on the organ concerned.

Conducting at home

electrophoresis- carried out as medical institutions, as well as at home. All you need to do is follow the instructions for using the device. But the number and duration of sessions, as well as the drugs used, should be prescribed by the attending physician.

For the procedure, it is desirable to use the services of a doctor. This is especially important if you are this procedure first. The doctor will teach you the correct use and also answer all your questions. Devices for treatment are sold in specialized stores and pharmacies.

The procedure is absolutely painless for a person. It involves the introduction of certain medications into the mucous membrane.

In addition, therapy is carried out in two directions:

Specially selected preparations.

This procedure does not age restrictions. However, children are usually treated at home.

Before carrying out this procedure, you need to consult a specialist or independently study the installation methods of all electrodes. The knowledge gained will save you from accidents. That is, it will ensure safety.

Your healthcare provider should determine:

The duration of the procedure.
Medicines used.
Applied apparatus.

What can replace electrophoresis at home?

Galvanization is alternative method physiotherapy. Contact application with a therapeutic and rehabilitation purpose of electric current (up to 50mA) and low (30–80 voltage) is called galvanization.

Effects of galvanization:

Biophysical. Electric current enters the body through the glands. In the future, it spreads through the blood and lymphatic vessels. As a result of the action of the current, the electrolysis of water molecules and substances dissolved in it is carried out, which leads to a sharp increase in the number of free radicals and changes in pH and ionic conjuncture.
Physiological. Changes in pH and ionic conjuncture, an increase in the number of free radicals lead to an acceleration of the flow rate:
- Redox reactions.
- Metabolic intensification.
- tissue respiration.
- Activation of enzyme systems.
- Acceleration of the speed of nerve impulse conduction.

As a result of the production of biologically active substances, the opening of reserve capillaries, an increase in vascular permeability, hyperemia is observed at the site of electrode application for up to 2 hours. In addition, galvanic current increases the threshold of excitability of nerve endings.

Galvanic current has:

Absorbable.
Anti-inflammatory.
Regenerative and action.

In general, the effect of galvanic current on the body can be called biostimulating:

Influence study galvanic current on the body and body systems showed that it stimulates the medulla oblongata, the reticular formation and the limbic system, thus enhancing the regulatory role of the central nervous system.
It exhibits a mild bronchodilator effect and improves the function of external respiration.
Besides, it leads to a decrease blood pressure, a decrease in heart rate, increased contractile function of the myocardium and improved coronary circulation.
In the same time, it enhances the motor function of the stomach organs and normalizes the acidity of gastric contents.
An important element of action on the body is the effect on endocrine system, in particular, has the ability to activate products.
Galvanic current has certain immunomodulatory properties.
Besides, it activates various systems.

Galvanic current is successfully used for:

Vertebrogenic diseases.
Diseases of the central and peripheral system(encephalitis, myelitis, neuritis, radiculitis).
neuroses(neurasthenia), bronchial asthma.
Diseases of the stomach which are characterized by impaired secretion and motility.
Pancreatitis is also an indication for the use of galvanic current.

An important element of action is its ability to promote bone consolidation. In addition, it is successfully used for menopausal disorders in women.

For more than a dozen years, electric current has been used by medicine to treat various diseases. The history of this technique has more than 2 centuries. For the first time electrophoresis was applied in 1802!

The second name of electrophoresis is iontophoresis, because. the method uses the property of some substances to decompose into positively and negatively charged ions. Thanks to this, the active substance penetrates deep into the skin without encountering obstacles, and is absorbed much faster and more completely. As a result, the drug penetrates the skin, spreads throughout the body with the bloodstream and accumulates in the tissues, and a weak electric current stimulates smooth muscles, blood supply and lymph flow in the tissues, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and enhances metabolic processes.

For more than a dozen years, electric current has been used by medicine to treat various diseases. The most common way to use current is a physiotherapeutic galvanization procedure, which is the effect of a weak low-voltage electric current. Cosmetic electrophoresis is based on this principle. The history of this technique has more than 2 centuries. For the first time electrophoresis was applied in 1802!

Under the electrodes, ionized substances begin to move to opposite poles through the tissues of the body. At the same time, “depots” are created in the tissues themselves, the drug is concentrated and accumulated in the treated areas and has a local effect.

As a result, the drug penetrates the skin, spreads throughout the body with the bloodstream and accumulates in the tissues, and a weak electric current stimulates smooth muscles, blood supply and lymph flow in the tissues, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and enhances metabolic processes.

Electrophoresis procedure

The procedure begins with cleansing. Electrophoresis is performed only on clean skin. At this stage, the pores are cleansed, the fatty film is removed from the skin, the skin itself softens.

Next, a special preparation is applied, selected in accordance with the goals of correction. These preparations can be medicinal, cosmetic or cosmeceutical (combining medical and cosmetic effect). They are also divided into groups by effect:

With nourishing and moisturizing effect
Anti-couperose
Anti-Age or Anti-aging
With lifting effect (lifting preparations)
Drugs that relieve inflammation.

Cosmetologists of the First Beauty Workshop use only professional preparations and serums recommended for use on the latest devices our salon.

The drug is applied directly under the electrodes to the skin or a tissue compress is impregnated with it, which is applied to the treated area.

For iontophoresis, non-woven masks are most often used, which are impregnated with solutions based on hyaluronic acid or collagen.

For this procedure, funds are used for water based: gels, solutions, conductive emulsions and pastes.

They may include

Hyaluronic acid (it intensively moisturizes and smoothes the dermis, stimulates skin renewal)
Nicotinic acid (dilates blood vessels, increases blood circulation and metabolism in the skin)
Salicylic acid (an effective anti-inflammatory, cleansing and brightening ingredient)
Enzymes that help smooth the skin relief (reduce the severity of scars and stretch marks).

The cosmetic effect is enhanced by plant extracts (aloe, echinacea, chamomile, calendula, etc.), vitamins A, E, C, group B (they regulate the processes of oxidation-reduction in the skin), caffeine and various trace elements in the composition.

Indications and contraindications

Iontophoresis in cosmetology is used to improve and even out complexion, skin hydration, improvement general view skin.
Electrophoresis can increase skin elasticity,reduce puffiness.
The use of special preparations can reduce the severity of wrinkles and "bags" under the eyes, lighten age spots.
With this procedure, it is possible to effectively clean problem areas face (especially the forehead, nasolabial triangle and other hard-to-reach areas), prevent comedones and shrink pores.
The procedure is also indicated for the treatment of cellulite, reduction and prevention of local fat deposits ( body volume decreases, silhouette improves).

metal implants in the treatment area;
chronic skin, acute inflammatory diseases in the treatment area;
pregnancy;
endocrine diseases;
tumor processes in the body;
acute infectious diseases;
individual intolerance to the drugs used in the procedure.

Cosmetic electrophoresis is considered a safer alternative to mesotherapy. For the introduction of the substance, skin punctures are not required, therefore, the procedure has significantly fewer contraindications and side effects. The experience of our masters and the use of the highest quality cosmetic preparations make this procedure absolutely effective and safe.

To eliminate defects that, regardless of age, appear on the skin in different parts of the body, many cosmetic procedures. Electrophoresis in cosmetology is a common technique. What is such a technique? What are its key features and benefits? How is it done? How much does it cost and where to make it? Read the article.

What is electrophoresis and what is it for?

A popular technique used by cosmetologists involves the movement of charged particles in an electric field created by a special apparatus. It is carried out by the introduction of medicinal substances with the help of a current. Nourishes, saturates the skin with missing elements, eliminates various external defects of the epidermis through exposure to active components into the deep layers.

The technology is based on the use of low voltage direct current. Simultaneous exposure to galvanic current and medicinal product. It is possible to use several medicinal formulations. Ions move towards poles of opposite polarity. This ensures the transport useful substances and their distribution in the epidermis. The voltage is set individually in each case.

Permissible exposure range from 30 to 80 V. Current up to 50 mA.

In cosmetology, it is most often used to eliminate defects on the face and restore the condition of the skin. Saturates the skin with the missing components. Gets rid of skin diseases that cause discomfort and significantly worsen appearance. As a result, the skin becomes healthy, toned, and elasticity lost with age returns.

Advantages of the technique

Among the main advantages of this procedure, it should be noted:

Drugs are injected into the dermis without damaging its structure.
The impact of current activates the functioning of cells;
The concentration of nutrients is not high, and therefore the risk of side effects is excluded.
Applicable even at home.
Contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes.
The procedure is painless. You may experience tingling in the treated area.
Nourishes organs and tissues.
It has a vasodilating effect.
Provides long lasting results.

This eliminates the irritating effect on the skin. This technique eliminates various pathologies. What does electrophoresis treat? The technique is designed to eliminate wrinkles, acne, restore firmness and elasticity. Deals with puffiness, eliminates impurities, cleanses and tightens pores.

Electrophoresis - indications and contraindications

skin rejuvenation;
pore cleansing;
removal of acne;
elimination of acne marks;
smoothing wrinkles;
elimination of nasolabial folds;
face lifts.

Also, for a procedure such as electrophoresis, the indications are as follows: peeling, enlarged pores, acne marks. As a result, the face looks “fresh”, the lost youthfulness of the skin returns.

Techniques such as electrophoresis also have contraindications. These include:

malignant neoplasms;
heart diseases;
pustules;
infections;
kidney failure;
cold;
viral diseases;
pregnancy;
period of breastfeeding;
the presence of metal dental crowns;
dermatitis.

The technique is not performed with individual intolerance to individual components that are contained in the formulations used. Therefore, the cosmetologist first does an allergy test.

The execution technique is the same regardless of the original problem. Pre-test for allergic reaction. After that, at normal reaction leather is being processed. Use of labile electrodes various shapes. Select suitable plates. The gel is applied to the face. It is necessary for the electrodes to move freely along skin processed area.

Electrophoresis is a short procedure. The duration of one session is about 8 minutes. Then do nourishing mask. To obtain the desired effect, a course of 6 to 10 sessions is required. The number and intervals between each repetition are determined by the beautician, depending on the initial problem.

How often can electrophoresis be done? It all depends on the initial problem, as a rule, it is enough to take 2-3 courses with a break of 1-2 months. The frequency of this technique should be determined by a specialist.

Carrying out the procedure at home

This technique can also be applied at home. To do this, you must first consult with a specialist. For processing, drugs are used that are easy to use and do not require special complex skills and abilities. They have proven themselves.
