Description of Facial Disincrustation
Galvanic face cleansing is a cosmetic procedure for cleansing the skin from impurities, acne, blackheads and other defects, which is based on the impact on problem areas with an electric current of low power and frequency. In another way, it is called disincrustation. This service is provided by cosmetologists or dermatologists, who must have permission to do so.
This method can be compared in effect to manual cleaning, including deep peeling. Its principle is to destroy the film on the face, dissolve the fat contained in the pores, and remove impurities to the outside. It involves the close interaction of the current with an alkaline solution and its transformation into soap, along with which impurities are removed from the skin.
Galvanic face cleansing (disinfection) can be carried out both in a beauty salon and at home.
It may take 3 to 5 procedures to successfully eliminate skin defects. In order to cleanse the skin from impurities, 1 session is usually enough.

How is galvanic face cleansing done?
With the help of a special apparatus, both the entire face and individual problem areas can be cleansed. We are talking about areas such as the wings of the nose, chin, forehead.
The procedure lasts about 15-25 minutes, the more problems the patient has, the longer the session.
The procedure looks like this:
- The doctor puts on sterile gloves on his hands, and a cap on the patient's head.
- The face is treated with cleansing milk or gel to remove cosmetics and impurities.
- After the skin dries, a special alkaline solution is applied to the face and left for a while.
- Then the doctor turns on the device and gently treats the skin with a tip, massaging movements around the circumference.
- After the formation of soapy foam, it is washed off the face and the skin is wiped with napkins.
- At the end of the procedure, it may be necessary to moisturize the treated areas with a cream to avoid the development of allergies.
Important! If one session is not enough, then after it, at least 15 days should pass before the next visit to the beautician.
Facial Disincrustation Results
The effect of the procedure is noticeable after 1-2 sessions. The skin becomes less oily, the number of blackheads decreases, acne and rashes are eliminated, acne disappears. At the same time, the color and relief of the face improves, wrinkles are smoothed, and the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
If cleaning your face with galvanic current did not give the desired result, you should contact an endocrinologist, perhaps you have some problems with the thyroid gland. If it fails, the skin can be oily and dirty, and acne increases.
If disinfection is carried out too often, the sebaceous glands can, on the contrary, begin to work even more actively, which can lead to the appearance of an ugly oily sheen. Often, the secret they produce clogs the pores, which leads to a deterioration in complexion.
If the procedure is carried out by an inexperienced doctor and he does not follow all safety rules, then there may be a possibility of skin burns, violation of the integrity of the capillaries and the appearance of bruises on the face.
After disinfection of the facial skin, to consolidate the result, it is recommended to use cleansing masks, lotions, toners, milk and other cosmetics to remove impurities. In the early days, you should not use decorative cosmetics, with the exception of lipstick and mascara. First of all, you need to abandon the foundation, powder and blush.
Important! During the procedure, you need to carefully monitor the diet - reduce the amount of flour products, smoked meats, meat, chocolate and other sweets consumed.
Real reviews of electroplating

Maria, 32 years old
I love all kinds of cosmetic procedures, not so long ago I drew attention to galvanic disinfection. I was interested in it as an inexpensive, painless and effective way to eliminate acne and acne. This technique, in my opinion, is unique, with its help it really is possible to cope with such problems, plus I noticed that as a result my complexion evened out, pores narrowed, and wrinkles were not so pronounced. I can't say that such a procedure works wonders, but it still helps a lot. I think that here you just need to choose a competent beautician, like mine. She underwent a course of 5 sessions, at each of them everything was smooth - there was no discomfort or pain. After them, I did not notice any side effects, so my review of disinfection is extremely positive.
Evgeniya, 26 years old
Galvanic cleaning or disinfection is one of my standard procedures that I do every month. I always turn to the same specialist with extensive experience, so I can't say anything bad. The procedure begins with cleansing the skin, after which a special composition is applied to it and treated with current. All together it lasts about 15 minutes, which is quite a bit, as for me. I really like that after this no rehabilitation is required and no traces remain. I heard about the risk of burns, but so far everything is in order, even painful sensations do not arise during cleaning, which I am glad, because chemical peeling causes irritation and redness of my skin.
Anastasia, 30 years old
Disincrustation worked for me, but I don't find it all that effective. In my opinion, it only helps to prevent possible blackheads, acne and other cosmetic defects. Their number after it did not decrease much, but my complexion improved, the skin became not so oily, it ceased to shine as much as before. I think that just for this you can take 1-2 courses, because home masks still do not help. I liked the low price for the services of cosmetologists, it is quite affordable even for me, my mother is on maternity leave, by the way, my husband appreciated the result, he says, I look better now.
