Youth, a fit and beautiful body will always be in fashion. However, not everyone has the opportunity to play sports and maintain physical fitness: some work, while others do not have enough time due to home and family matters. However, there is one interesting solution that you will like - myostimulation. It is often called gymnastics for the laziest. And it’s not you who are doing the gymnastics, but electrical impulses. We decided to learn more about this wonderful procedure and turned for help to a general practitioner, figure correction specialist at the Novoklinik Center for Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology network, Margarita Manasyan .
What is myostimulation
While we were studying this topic, we had a question about where myostimulation came from, and how people came up with the idea of using current to treat various diseases and improve general well-being. As it turned out, this story dates back to ancient times, when the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt specially caught tiny fish that were beating with electricity. This is how they helped pharaohs and priests cope with joint pain. In turn, the inhabitants of Ancient Rome specially bred electric stingrays in huge vats of water, where they dipped their limbs to get rid of gout and rheumatism.
Fortunately, science does not stand still, and now we have safe myostimulants instead of dangerous creatures. Moreover, it is difficult to call this technique new, since it has been used in medicine for about 30 years. At first it was prescribed to bedridden patients who could not move in order to prevent complete muscle atrophy.
As the specialist told us, the essence of the myoelectric stimulation (myostimulation) procedure is that it effectively helps restore the functional activity of muscle tissue due to the effect of electric current pulses on them. Electrodes are placed on problem areas. Electrical impulses applied to a specific area of the body stimulate the contraction of the corresponding muscle groups.
Due to constant irritation and impact from the device, the muscles begin to actively contract, due to which they grow, strengthen and break down the fat layer. It is this procedure that helps get rid of the hated “orange peel” on the thighs, which is called cellulite.

Along with a beneficial effect on muscles, myostimulation helps to activate lymph flow and improve blood circulation, and this in turn cleanses our body of excess fluid, waste and accumulated toxins. It is also worth noting that the procedure helps to work on the most problematic areas, which require great efforts to strengthen in the gym. It's all about currents that can penetrate into the deepest muscle layers.
Another huge advantage of microstimulation is its accessibility. Nowadays, devices that carry out this procedure can be purchased independently and used at home. They are quite compact and do not take up much space, which means they are suitable for use in even the smallest spaces.
However, it is worth remembering that the weight loss effect can only be achieved with regular use of the device. But in any case, myostimulation can be called one of the most effective and useful procedures, allowing not only to build and strengthen muscles, but also to get rid of annoying fat accumulated during quarantine.
Indications and contraindications
These days, the myostimulation procedure is very popular among both women and men who want to keep their body in good shape. Therefore, almost every cosmetologist has such a device. As we said earlier, the “list of merits” of myostimulation is quite long. We list the main indications for the procedure:
• desire to get rid of excess weight and “orange peel”; • posture correction and general figure correction; • constant muscle spasms; • the need to strengthen and increase muscle mass; • prevention of thrombosis; • annoying fat folds in the abdominal area, on the sides, back and arms; • muscle pain caused by severe tension and a constant feeling of tightness; • swelling and salt deposits in certain areas; • the need to lift the breasts, buttocks and postpartum abdomen; • improving endurance and increasing muscle strength; • restoring sleep patterns; • help in relieving nervous tension; • dull skin color; • appearance of spider veins.
However, even such a useful procedure has contraindications. You need to think about them before purchasing a device or immediately before the procedure with a cosmetologist. To avoid unpleasant consequences, it is better to consult a doctor in advance and exclude possible prohibitions on the use of myostimulation. And we, in turn, will tell you about some contraindications:
• phlebothrombosis; • epilepsy; • kidney and liver diseases; • problems with blood clotting; • pneumonia and tuberculosis; • inflammatory processes in the kidneys and gall bladder; • oncology; • existing problems with the skin at the site where the electrodes are connected; • presence of a built-in pacemaker; • any stage of pregnancy; • uterine fibroids.
Therefore, we advise you not to risk your health. And if you still decide to lose weight in this way, then first consult with a specialist.

Electrotherapy – treatment of diseases with electric current or magnetic fields
The physical ability of positive particles to move towards the negative pole and vice versa ensures accelerated circulation of blood flow and lymph, and, consequently, improvement of the entire body.
Long before the study of the influence of electric fields on the human body and the invention of power sources, ancient Greek healers used electric rays or acne to treat nervous diseases or paresis. Franklinization (on behalf of the American scientist B. Franklin) is considered the first method of physiotherapy using a constant electric field. It made it possible to improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure, accelerate wound healing, relieve pain, and significantly reduce the occurrence of allergic reactions.
Modern technology allows the use of constant or alternating pulse currents, different frequencies, different magnetic fields and their combination for treatment:
- Diseases of the central nervous system (paresis and paralysis, decreased sensitivity of the limbs, slowed passage of nerve impulses, treatment of intercostal neuralgia, neuroses, etc.).
- Treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system (traumatic injuries of the spine, soft tissues and/or their consequences, treatment of postural disorders, spinal curvatures, treatment of intervertebral hernias, protrusions, osteochondrosis, osteoporosis, arthritis, etc.).
- Diseases and pathologies of the cardiovascular system (thrombosis, rheumatoid arthritis, vegetative-vascular dystonia, coronary artery disease, hypertension, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, etc.).
- treatment of headaches (migraines, tension pain, cluster and other chronic pain syndromes of the head).
- Diseases of internal organs (liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system).
- For the fusion of epithelial tissues, treatment of skin rashes, ulcers, trophic ulcers, etc.
- In cosmetology for skin rejuvenation and removal of puffiness.
Types of physiotherapy using electricity
The most common types of physiotherapy are:
- Galvanization - direct currents of low voltage and low strength. Depending on the area of application (different parts of the body), the procedure time and dosage (tension) may vary. Activates blood flow in the extremities, restores damaged nerve fibers and soft tissues. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, relieves pain, relaxes, and relieves muscle spasms. Can be used to treat inflammatory processes of the gastrointestinal tract, hypertension, hypotension, vegetative-vascular pathologies, hearing and vision diseases. Widely used to treat diseases of the spine, spinal cord and joints.
- Electrophoresis is low-frequency electrical discharges that enhance the penetration of medications through the skin to the internal organs. The double therapeutic effect is achieved by activating blood circulation and deep absorption of drugs.
- Darsonvalization is the use of alternating pulse currents of high, ultrasonic and supersonic frequencies. It is used to relieve pain syndromes and relieve spasm of smooth muscles, increases the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels (varicose veins, trophic ulcers, long-lasting wounds), recommended for insomnia, treatment of migraines, skin rashes, frostbite, neuroses, hypertension. Widely used in cosmetology as a local procedure for tightening and rejuvenating the skin, relieving swelling and congestion.
- Electrosleep is the effect of electrical impulses on various areas of the brain. It has a calming, sedative, trophic, anticonvulsant effect. Can be used for insomnia, neurasthenia, mental attacks, ischemic attacks, asthmatic attacks.
- Diadynamic therapy is pulsed exposure to direct currents of a constant frequency (50 Hz and 100 Hz) alternating periods. Causes a sensation of tingling, slight burning, warmth or vibration. It is used to treat injuries and bruises of the limbs and spine, arthritis, treatment of osteoporosis, thrombophlebitis and other diseases.
- Diathermy is the use of high frequency, low voltage, high power currents. There is a feeling of strong heating of the skin, then deep heating of the internal tissues. Improves blood circulation, enhances metabolic processes, increases the body's immune resistance. Indicated for chronic inflammatory processes, pain syndromes (tonsillitis, rhinitis, etc.).
- Amplipulse therapy is the use of modulated sinusoidal currents for the treatment of asthma and bronchitis, inflammation of the gastrointestinal system, pelvic organs, ligaments and joints.
- Inductothermy is the use of a high-frequency magnetic field with induced eddy currents. A more uniform distribution of currents promotes uniform heating of internal organs, better tolerance by the patient and has a more lasting therapeutic effect.
Electrotherapy devices
Modern medical technicians and specialized companies offer a huge selection of devices of various sizes, characteristics and parameters for use both in medical institutions and at home. For electrophoresis and galvanization in physical rooms and at home, the following devices can be used: “Potok 1”, “ESMA 12.19 Lotus” or “ESMA 12.21U Galant”. "Aesculapius 2", "BTL 4000", "BTL 4000 Plus" allows you to generate pulses of various frequencies with a wide range. A much more expensive and functional device with a wide selection of programs, including electrosleep - “Radius - 01FT”.
A wide range of physiotherapy, magnetic and electrotherapy for the treatment of diseases of the nervous system, diseases of the spine, curvature of posture, joints, internal and ENT organs, is offered at Dr. Bobyr’s clinic in Moscow or Zelenograd.
Contraindications for electrotherapy
Despite the positive impact and effectiveness of electrical procedures for improving the health of the human body, their use must be monitored by experienced doctors and used with great caution. Electro- and magnetic therapy is strictly contraindicated for pregnant women and patients:
- with tumor formations of various etiologies;
- those who have had a stroke or heart attack or suffer from heart defects;
- with high temperature or fever;
- having purulent inflammation of internal organs and tissues;
- with acute bleeding and poor blood clotting;
- with tuberculosis or other viral and infectious diseases;
- with epilepsy or prone to convulsive conditions;
- with chronic liver and kidney diseases;
- those suffering from Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis;
- with individual intolerance to electric current or medications used for electrical procedures.

How is myostimulation performed?
Since this procedure not only helps to lose weight, but also strengthens and tightens muscles, it is used in a variety of places. Myostimulation is done on the face, abdomen and buttocks. We decided to study each type of procedure separately.
1. Myostimulation of the abdomen is an excellent solution to the problem of a saggy and loose abdomen. This procedure is especially relevant for women who have only recently become mothers. After all, during pregnancy, not only the skin, but also the muscles stretch. They cannot take their usual shape, they sag and become completely unaesthetic. However, intense exposure to currents helps women quickly regain their previous shape, tighten the skin, make it smooth and silky. And in order to achieve the desired effect even faster, it is better to combine myostimulation with various wraps aimed at tightening the skin.
2. Facial myostimulation - well suited for both men and women who have just encountered the appearance of facial wrinkles. In addition, the procedures help prevent sagging muscles, restore facial contours, remove spider veins, treat acne and regulate sebum production. The number of procedures is always prescribed by a cosmetologist. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that, in parallel with myostimulation, experts often advise using special medicinal cosmetics and doing a tonic massage.
3. Myostimulation of the buttocks - did you know that the outer sides of the thighs and saggy “butt” are best tightened during such procedures? If not, then this kind of fitness is perfect for you, because to lose weight in this area you don’t need grueling workouts in the gym. However, you need to remember that such procedures are suitable only for correction, so you should not expect magic, thanks to which 10 centimeters of fat will disappear in a few sessions. The number of procedures is determined by the doctor - in mild cases, 5-7 procedures are sufficient; for more effective muscle development, sometimes about 20 procedures lasting 30 minutes are required. So it completely depends on the condition of the body.
Features of the effects of transcranial electrical stimulation
The peculiarity of the electrical influence carried out
with the help of "TRANSAIR" devices, stimulation is carried out with special electrical rectangular current pulses of a fixed frequency and duration. The position of the electrodes on the head is also strictly fixed - the negative electrode is always located in the forehead, the positive one - on the skin behind the ears.
Thus, the patient is not required to select treatment parameters (except for the magnitude of the therapeutic current) and the position of the electrodes, which greatly simplifies the treatment process and makes it safe.
This type of transcranial electrical stimulation has received a special name in the scientific and medical literature - TES therapy. It has been proven that the current from the device penetrates the skin and soft tissues of the head, the skull and ultimately acts on the antinociceptive structures of the brain. This ensures the activation of the brain’s protective mechanisms.
It has been shown that within 10–15 minutes after the start of stimulation, the release of opioid peptides (ß-endorphin) increases and their concentration in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and blood increases several times. It has also been established that in the development of the effects of TES therapy, in addition to opiatergic, serotonergic and cholinergic neurotransmitter mechanisms are also involved.
Due to various reasons (age, stress, poor diet, fatigue, etc.), the level of endorphin production decreases, which leads to the development of various diseases.
TES therapy, through pulsed action, allows you to activate the natural production of endorphins, which allows for comprehensive restoration and treatment of the body.
TES therapy does not cause addiction, addiction or dependence, because the produced endorphin is immediately used by the body in the required direction and quantity, and its unused part or excess breaks down into amino acids in just a few minutes and is utilized.
TES therapy has a wide range of indications confirmed by a number of scientific and clinical studies in Russia, near and far abroad countries. More than 30 doctoral and more than 100 candidate dissertations were defended, in which the medical effects of TES therapy were studied.
Indications:
Analgesia
TES therapy effectively eliminates:
- Headaches, migraines;
- Abdominal and stomach pain;
- Pain due to deforming arthrosis;
- Pain due to premenstrual syndrome;
- Pain associated with nerve damage;
- Toothaches;
- Muscle pain;
- Postoperative pain;
- Pain due to endometriosis;
- Pain from sports injuries;
- Eye pain is acute and chronic;
- Lumbar pain.
Analgesic effect:
- does not depend on the cause and location of pain;
- may occur within 20-30 minutes after the start of exposure;
- has a long aftereffect, lasting from 6 to 12 or more hours.
How to get rid of pain with health benefits?
Therapy of pain syndromes involves identifying and eliminating the source or cause that caused the pain, determining the degree of involvement of various organs and tissues, as well as the most important regulatory parts of the nervous system in the formation of pain and relieving or suppressing the pain itself.
The analgesic effect was the starting point when developing the TES method. It has been established that under the influence of TES therapy the sensitivity of peripheral pain receptors of the skin decreases. The conduction of pain impulses at the level of certain brain structures (relay nuclei of the medulla oblongata and thalamus) is blocked. In addition, there are numerous other effects of activation of the endorphinergic system.
As a result, cerebral blood flow is normalized, metabolic processes are improved, the level of antioxidant protection is increased, the oxygen demand of neurons is reduced, the efficiency of glucose utilization increases, etc.
Recommended course:
For acute pain syndromes:
6 sessions of 30 minutes, 3 sessions per day with an interval of 4-6 hours.
For chronic pain syndromes:
10-12 sessions of 25 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 1-2 months. No more than 50 procedures per year.
Treatment of depression
TES therapy (transcranial electrical stimulation) is effectively used in the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the treatment of stress and restoration of psycho-emotional state.
There is only one physiological cause of depression - a lack of endorphin in the body. After all, it is endorphin that is responsible for our good mood, strong immunity, feeling of comfort and quality of life. TES therapy allows you to treat depression, including endogenous depression (caused by hormonal causes), as well as to prevent psychophysical disorders at home by increasing endorphin levels, without medications or antidepressants.
Signs of depression are disturbances in psychophysiological status, which are manifested by various syndromes (fatigue, apathy, low mood; decreased brain activity; impaired performance; decreased general well-being in chronic diseases, melancholy, suffering, anxiety).
Perhaps the disorders that are bothering you are related to somatic or other diseases, and their treatment will lead to relief from depression. TES therapy allows for normalization and general improvement of the body.
Symptoms of depression:
- Bad mood, melancholy and despair;
- Decreased interest and pleasure in familiar things;
- Anxiety and internal tension, irritation;
- Feelings of guilt, pessimism about the future, possibly thoughts of suicide;
- Low self-esteem and feelings of self-doubt;
- Confusion, lack of concentration, difficulty concentrating, making decisions or starting things;
- Apathy, isolation, lack of desire to communicate and meet with friends;
- Fatigue, insomnia, metabolic disorders, loss of appetite or, conversely, increased appetite;
- Lack of interest in sex.
How to treat depression?
TES therapy is the fastest, most effective and safest way to normalize endorphin levels in the body using a weak pulse current. The TES method is one of the simplest methods for treating stress-induced conditions and diseases. 10-15 minutes after the start of the procedure, the concentration of endorphins increases several times in the brain, cerebrospinal fluid and blood. Many depressive symptoms are noticeably reduced after the first treatment. Course treatment permanently consolidates the effect.
Recommended course:
10-12 sessions of 25 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 3-4 months. No more than 50 procedures per year.
Women Health
TES therapy takes care of a woman’s health throughout her life. TES therapy is one of the few non-drug methods that is recognized by doctors as highly effective in preventing and combating women's problems.
TES therapy effectively helps in the following cases:
- elimination of pain during menstruation and symptoms of PMS;
- disruption of hormonal regulation;
- complex treatment of endometriosis and uterine fibroids;
- restoration of the menstrual cycle;
- relief of toxicosis in the first and second half of pregnancy;
- increased lactation in young mothers;
- elimination of menopause symptoms;
- treatment of headaches during pregnancy.
Many years of research have proven that in order to restore the female sex hormone system, it is necessary to compensate for the lack of neurotransmitters such as endorphin and serotonin in the body. These substances also have analgesic, healing, anti-inflammatory effects, and stimulate cellular and humoral immunity. In addition, they have a positive effect on a person’s psycho-emotional state, protect against stress, and improve sleep.
The use of TES therapy in obstetrics and gynecology is not limited to the indications listed above.
More than 25 candidate and doctoral dissertations have been defended on the topic of the use of TES therapy in obstetrics and gynecology in various scientific and clinical medical institutions in Russia.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
10-15 sessions of 25 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 3-4 months. No more than 50 procedures per year.
Alcoholism and drug addiction
TES therapy is effectively used:
- In programs for withdrawal from binge drinking;
- With post-withdrawal (hangover) syndrome;
- Pathological craving for alcohol;
- In case of liver dysfunction due to alcohol consumption;
- In opiate drug addiction treatment programs;
- In the complex treatment of tobacco smoking and gambling addiction.
Currently, there is only one physiotherapeutic method aimed not only at the treatment of drug addiction, withdrawal symptoms or the elimination of individual post-withdrawal disorders, but at the entire body as a whole, at the higher centers of self-regulation - this is the method of TES therapy - selective stimulation of endorphinergic and serotonergic protective mechanisms. mechanisms.
TES therapy normalizes the level of dopamine, a marker of alcoholism (ng/ml).
- For hangover syndrome, TES therapy quickly relieves headaches, tremors (shaking hands), sleep disturbances and other affective and somatic disorders;
- In more than 80% of patients, the craving for alcohol decreases;
- TES therapy is effective for liver cirrhosis. The protection of liver cells increases, liver functions are restored;
- Devices for TES therapy are included in the standard of drug treatment;
The inclusion of EFT therapy in special programs for the treatment of tobacco smoking and gambling addiction significantly increases their effectiveness.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
15 sessions of 30 minutes, 1 session per day.
A repeated course - according to indications, can be as close as possible to the one administered.
Boosting immunity
TES therapy is an effective non-drug method of increasing immunity .
TES therapy normalizes the immune system and increases the body's resistance. During seasonal outbreaks of influenza, the disease that has already begun proceeds more smoothly, and recovery occurs faster. Regular TES therapy procedures significantly reduce the incidence of influenza and acute respiratory infections. And when people get sick, they tolerate it more easily and recover faster. However, the use of TES therapy is not recommended during the acute course of the disease.
How to boost immunity? TES therapy is a way to strengthen the immune system
Traditional methods and means for boosting immunity are not effective enough, since during flu outbreaks, despite vaccination, as well as taking antiviral and immunostimulating drugs, every third person on the planet suffers every year. In addition, at least two weeks must pass for the effect of the vaccine to manifest itself, while the TES therapy method begins to work after the first procedure. In addition to antiviral protection, TES therapy results in a general strengthening of the immune system: pain relief, reduction of inflammatory reactions, improvement of liver and kidney function, cleansing the body of toxins, etc.
In addition, medications to enhance immunity have broad contraindications and increase the load on the liver and digestive tract. TES therapy is a non-drug method of long-term immunity enhancement. The effect of general strengthening of the body from several sessions of TES therapy lasts at least 2-3 months. The incidence during this period drops several times, and even those who get sick experience the flu much easier and faster.
The main effects of TES therapy in the treatment of flu and colds:
- Fast normalization of temperature;
- Elimination of headaches;
- Reducing pain in muscles and joints;
- Relieving swelling of the nasopharyngeal mucosa;
- Reduction and pain relief of cough;
- Elimination of an allergic reaction;
- Reducing the risk of complications after influenza;
- Reducing the risk of recurrent disease;
- Strengthening the immune system (increasing immunity).
Recommended course of TES therapy:
12 sessions of 20 minutes, every other day.
Repeated course - after 4-6 months. No more than 50 procedures per year.
Attention: TES therapy sessions are not recommended during acute symptoms of the disease.
Dermatology
TES therapy is effective in treating:
- Acne, acne, teenage acne;
- Various forms of seborrhea;
- Itchy dermatoses of various localizations;
- Psoriasis of the feet and palms.
Acne treatment with TES therapy can be done at home. The effect develops gradually, but persists for a long time. The need for hormonal ointments is significantly reduced.
Effects of TES therapy:
- eliminates disorders that contribute to the occurrence of pimples, blackheads, acne, thereby preventing their reappearance;
- enhances the effectiveness of skin care products;
- does not have toxic or allergic side effects;
- reduces the cost of treating problem skin by 30-40%;
- improves psychological state;
- has a beneficial effect on the condition of hair, preventing its fragility and loss;
- acts comprehensively and systematically in relation to only impaired functions.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
10 sessions of 30 minutes, 1 session per day.
Continuation of the course immediately after completion, with a frequency of 1 time per week, lasting up to 3 months.
Repeated courses - according to indications, 2 times a year.
Allergy
TES therapy is effectively used in the treatment of:
- allergic and vasomotor rhinitis;
- some forms of atopic bronchial asthma;
- itchy dermatoses.
Allergic reactions and diseases are based on disturbances in the functioning of the body's own defense systems. Endorphins, substances that our body should normally produce in response to exposure to harmful factors, help us restore the normal functioning of the body’s entire defense system.
TES therapy stimulates the normal production of endorphins and not only relieves allergy symptoms without harm to health, but also normalizes the functioning of the body's defense system. Using the TES therapy method, you will not need to take expensive medications to treat allergies; TES therapy can also be used during pregnancy.
TES therapy is not addictive, has no side effects, and does not cause intoxication of the body.
The main effects of using TES therapy:
- Improvement, normalization of breathing;
- Reduced need for inhalation;
- Disappearance of itching, redness and swelling, reducing the need for antihistamines;
- Improving the condition of the skin;
- Normalization of immunity.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
10 sessions of 25 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 1-2 months. No more than 50 procedures per year.
Gastroenterology
TES therapy activates endorphin defense mechanisms against physiological disorders, due to which the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract as a whole is normalized.
TES therapy is one of the most effective non-drug methods for treating and preventing exacerbations of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
TES therapy is used in the treatment of the following diseases:
- gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer;
- acute gastritis and superficial gastritis;
- duodenitis (inflammation of the duodenum);
- irritable bowel syndrome;
- liver dysfunction after hepatitis;
- alcoholic liver disease;
- gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Effects of TES therapy:
- acceleration of healing of ulcerative defects;
- normalization of gastrin and hydrochloric acid levels;
- elimination of pain syndromes;
- restoration of the synthetic and detoxification function of the liver.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
In the acute period of gastric and duodenal ulcers:
2 times a day for 30 minutes, no more than 2 weeks.
In case of chronic disease:
10-12 sessions of 30 minutes, 1 session per day. Repeated course - after 3-4 months. No more than 50 procedures per year.
Ophthalmology
TES therapy helps:
- improve vision;
- relieve eye fatigue (Computer and television vision fatigue);
- relieve eye pain, treat various acute and chronic eye pain;
- relieve spasm of accommodation;
- in the treatment of mild myopia.
TES therapy, due to its complex systemic action, relieves acute and chronic eye pain, eliminates eye fatigue when overloaded, improves nutrition of the eye parts, increases visual acuity for near and far with mild myopia. There is an improvement in metabolic processes and microcirculation of the brain and eyes.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
10 sessions of 25 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 2-3 months.
Cardiology
TES therapy can be effectively used in the treatment of:
- hypertension stage I, II;
- vegetative-vascular dystonia of the hypertensive type and hypotonic type;
- in acute myocardial infarction (uncomplicated).
TES therapy has a normalizing effect on the central regulatory processes of systemic and regional blood flow. At the same time, the numbers of blood pressure (hypertension of the I-II degree) and hypotension return to normal for a given age.
For vegetative-vascular dystonia, TES therapy eliminates:
- frequent headaches, dizziness and fainting;
- drowsiness, fatigue;
- nervousness, anxiety;
- mood swings;
- increased sweating;
- anxiety, irritability, low performance.
The effect of TES therapy for certain disorders of the cardiovascular system is due to the actions of endorphins and serotonin, such as accelerating repair processes and normalizing arterial blood pressure.
TES therapy stimulates the natural production of these neurohormones and, as a result, activates these processes.
In case of myocardial infarction, TES therapy accelerates myocardial scarring, reduces relapses of pain, halves the development of signs of circulatory failure, improves the contractile function of the heart, and normalizes heart rhythm.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
10 sessions of 30 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 3-4 months.
ENT diseases
TES therapy can be used to treat:
- Sensorineural or sensorineural hearing loss;
- subjective tinnitus;
- chronic recurrent nosebleeds;
- chronic vasomotor and allergic rhinitis.
TES therapy is very effective both in the treatment of acute sensorineural hearing loss (positive results in more than 90% of patients) and chronic (approximately 50%), including occupational hearing loss that develops under conditions of constant exposure to extreme noise (weaving factories , metalworking, shipbuilding, etc.). It has been established that in audiological practice, TES therapy sessions should be carried out periodically - at least 2-3 times a year.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
15 sessions of 30 minutes, 1 session per day.
Repeated course - after 4-5 months.
Children's health
TES therapy has a complex effect on the child’s body, normalizing behavior, stimulating the development of cognitive processes (attention, visual memory, imagination) and local respiratory protection factors, for example, in frequently ill children with nasopharyngeal pathology.
Treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
When TES therapy is included in the treatment complex, headaches and tic hyperkinesis disappear faster in children, and hyperactivity and impulsivity decrease. Sleep is normalized, children become more trainable.
TES therapy goes well with the use of nootropic drugs.
Adolescent gynecological practice
In girls with menstrual irregularities during puberty, amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea are quickly relieved and acne disappears without the use of hormones. Mood and sleep are normalized, anxiety disappears.
Prevention of school maladjustment syndrome
TES therapy effectively relieves childhood neuroses and promotes the formation of skills. Children adapt better in a group. The process of preparing for exams is improved and their results are improved.
TES therapy is carried out starting from the age of 5. The course of treatment in children should not exceed 5-7 procedures of 15-20 minutes each day or every other day. The current strength is no more than 1 mA, even in the absence of subjective sensations under the electrodes. If the dynamics are positive, the course can be repeated after 2-3 months.
Recommended course of TES therapy:
3-7 sessions of 15 minutes, 1 time per day.
Devices: “Doctor TES-03”, “Transair”.
No more than 25 procedures per year.
The effect of myostimulation
Of course, everyone who turns to a cosmetologist for such a procedure will be interested in the result. As we said earlier, all cases are individual and the result depends entirely on the goals. However, very often the difference “before and after” is striking: after the procedures, everyone experiences an improvement in the condition of the skin, an increase in its elasticity and firmness, muscle tightening, an improvement in overall well-being, a surge of strength and vigor.
If you want to repeat the procedure, it is better to talk about this with your doctor, who will be able to correctly schedule the time for repeated myostimulation.
During a conversation with our publication, the doctor also emphasized that the effect depends on compliance with the drinking regime and diet. She recommended not eating until an hour and a half after the procedure and drinking more water. If you listen to all the recommendations of your specialist, then myostimulation will bring you only pleasant sensations and help you achieve the desired effect.
