Myostimulation: what it is and how it works

Everyone has known for a long time that regular physical activity is necessary for the beauty of the body. But not everyone has the opportunity to go to the gym. Someone does not have enough time for this, while others are contraindicated in the load. In this case, myostimulation will help. Today we will talk about what it is.

What is myostimulation and why is it needed

This procedure is based on the use of an electric current on human muscle tissue. By attaching electrodes to the body, we can artificially force the muscles to contract. The electrodes can be placed all over the body - on the hips, arms, abdomen, back, or chest. In recent years, even a facial myostimulation procedure has appeared.

Myostimulation is performed using special devices. They can have other properties in addition to their main function. Some are able to carry out the procedure in different modes and with different intensities, while others are able to eliminate pain that occurs in the muscles. Myostimulation can be used for those areas of the human body where it is especially difficult to influence normal physical exercises. For example, on the inner thighs.

Myostimulation tones up the muscles of a person, speeds up the blood circulation process and puts in order the lymph flow. As a result, the metabolism in the body is carried out faster, the hormonal background returns to normal.

Body myostimulation

The myostimulation procedure is suitable for:

• To get rid of extra pounds.
• To strengthen skin on the body and on the face.
• With insufficient lymph flow.
• To relieve chronic leg fatigue.
• To strengthen blood vessels.
• To normalize blood circulation.

Before carrying out myostimulation, the skin of the body must be cleaned for a better effect with electrodes. This can be done with a scrub. Then electrodes are applied to the selected area. Their number depends on the power of the device. The duration of the electric shock is approximately 20 minutes per zone.

The procedure must be carried out in a course of five to ten sessions every other day. Then, after about a month and a half, it is recommended to have a supportive procedure.

You will be able to notice the effect of the course on a professional apparatus after several procedures: muscle tone and elasticity will improve, blood circulation will normalize, cellulite will become less noticeable.

Facial myostimulation

To restore the last elasticity, and clarity of facial features, you can use myostimulation. Thanks to this procedure, the face will become fit, the condition of the skin and blood circulation will improve. Stimulation with electric current allows you to reduce deep wrinkles, emphasize cheekbones, reduce double chin... Due to the fact that myostimulation increases lymph flow, puffiness disappears, bags under the eyes disappear.

Myostimulation on the face begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin. Then a special gel or mask is applied and electrodes are installed according to a certain pattern.

Then the device is turned on and the optimal current strength is selected. A person should only experience a slight tingling sensation and not feel pain. The session lasts about 20 minutes. For the best effect of the procedure, you can use special cosmetic preparations. Under the influence of the current, they penetrate deeply into the skin and heal it.

After completing the procedure, the specialist removes the electrodes and cleans the skin of the gel. A special cream is applied to the face, depending on the problem being solved.
