In cosmetology, there are a large number of methods based on the use of electric current. Current affects different parts of the body and tissue, depending on its type, strength and voltage.
The ESMA myostimulation device is a popular device used not only in beauty salons, but also at home. The device has a large list of indications and is highly functional.

ESMA devices. General information
The principle of operation of the myostimulator
Muscles contract under the influence of nerve impulses that travel along fibers from the brain. Russian scientists have invented ESMA devices - electronic stimulators of muscle activity.
The first models were assembled at the Navy Diving Center and their purpose was to assist submarine crew members. Today, ESMA has become a popular trademark owned by a plant that produces medical, sports and cosmetology devices.
ESMA devices include a wide range of models for a wide range of cosmetology services.
ESMA exerts an electric current on the muscle, which leads to contraction. Thanks to this charge, the muscle tissue gets a good workout. The device can generate impulses and cause striated muscle fibers to contract actively. This effect heals and restores the functioning of even internal organs, the nervous system and muscles.
When using ESMA for the face, not only does it have a firming effect, but also metabolic processes are activated, lymph flow is accelerated, blood circulation in the tissues is improved, and waste, toxins and liquid are removed from the body. The skin becomes elastic, and fat cells are eliminated.
Thanks to the hardware, the volume of the face is significantly reduced and becomes expressive. You can forget about the double chin and sagging cheeks.
When exposed to a myostimulator, it does not cause any unpleasant sensations, but on the contrary, the muscles contract intensively, which strengthens the muscles and increases muscle tissue.
The ESMA device operates similarly to pacemakers and defibrillators.
