Basic information about darsonval
Darsonval is a common name for a group of devices whose operation is based on the influence of high frequency and voltage pulsed currents. Their strength does not exceed 0.02 mA. The darsonvalization method was first applied by the French scientist Darsonval, after whom it was named.
Darsonval has several models, which may differ in the number of nozzles and some technicalcharacteristics, which affects the scope of their application and versatility. It is worth purchasing only devices from those manufacturers that have a quality certificate and are registered in the Russian Federation. This will help you avoid the frustration that comes with using a non-certified machine.
Design and principle of operation
Darsonval "Karat" is a device that generates low-power microcurrents. They are passed through electrodes in glass vacuum tubes. Due to the fact that the currents have a low power, they do not have time to lead to the formation of a significant amount of heat in the tissue cells in the time allotted for the procedure.
Darsonval device is used in two modes: contact and non-contact. With contact darsonvalization, a so-called quiet discharge is created, which occurs due to direct contact of the electrode with the skin. If there is an air gap between the electrode and the skin surface, then a spark mode occurs, which is a non-contact method of darsonvalization. The larger the layer of air, the greater the power of the spark, but it should not exceed 2 cm.
Where is darsonval "Karat" used?
The device is widely used in cosmetology and medicine to treat various skin diseases and eliminate their consequences. Darsonval treatment is offered in many cosmetology centers and modern physiotherapy rooms. This is due to the combination of its effectiveness and quite reasonable cost.
