In this case, the discharge force depends on the distance - the smaller the layer of air, the weaker the discharge. When compressed air comes into contact with oxygen, ozone and nitrogen oxide are formed, which leads to the destruction of pathogens. This technique is aimed at treating boils, purulent acne. This is an aggressive effect on the skin, so during the procedure a person feels a tingling sensation.

Smoothed wrinkles in the cabin with the Darsonval device. I had to take a course of 20 procedures. I will say this: expression lines and small wrinkles have decreased, but there are no deep ones. In general, the skin color somehow changed for the better, and some acne disappeared.

I bought a device for darsonvalization. Took the cheapest "Crown". In principle, it works fine, there are all the necessary nozzles. I myself and my friends carried out different procedures, the effect really is.

Marina, 30 years old:

Several times attended darsonvalization procedures in the salon. There were acne problems. I did 4 procedures there, and then decided not to spend money and bought a Darsonval device. Now I am doing acne treatments for myself, smoothing out small wrinkles. There is an effect, and it is on my face. The main thing is to remember all the nuances and follow the instructions.
