Most people are familiar with the term acne (Latin: acne); some suffered from this condition during puberty, while for others it may have appeared later in life. However, acne is increasingly common among middle-aged and older adults. According to global statistics, about 40% of people suffer from acne.
Acne is an inflammation of the sebaceous glands, resulting in the appearance of acne lesions on the skin of the face, chest, back, or shoulders, which can lead to the formation of comedones (whiteheads or blackheads), as well as papules and pustules that leave behind spots and scars. This condition can cause discomfort in daily life and often affects self-confidence.
Let’s examine the main causes of acne
The most common cause of acne is genetic predisposition, as well as:
- Poor diet (sweets, alcohol, dairy products)
- Stress
- Excessive sebum production (i.e., oil)
- Hormonal changes
- Improper skin care
- Clogged pores

Acne treatment methods

Systemic treatment in the form of creams, ointments, and tablets is prescribed by a dermatologist, and additionally, a cosmetologist can perform procedures such as chemical peels, ozone therapy, and laser therapy. For home use, we recommend the Darsonval Lux Darsoline 8.0 device – learn about its benefits for the skin in the article below.
If you’re reading this article because you’re also struggling with acne, you’ve likely wondered how to get rid of acne at home. Only a specialist can select the right skincare routine for problem skin, but here are a few tips that might be helpful:
- The first and most important step in at-home skincare is cleansing. Use gentle products based on natural ingredients; avoid harsh ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, and alcohols; and use products containing acids. Try to avoid harsh exfoliants, which can damage the epidermis and spread the infection even further.
- The second step should be moisturizing. Use light, oil-free formulas that won’t clog your pores. Moisturizing should apply not only to the skin but also to the air; for this purpose, a Medica+ humidifier will be useful, which can be found in the home medical equipment section.
- Do not rub or touch your skin unnecessarily; be sure to use sunscreen.
- It’s worth getting into the habit of using the DARSOLINE 4.0 device – it will help treat acne, reduce post-acne discoloration, and additionally improve microcirculation.
Methods for treating acne with Darsonval
Treating acne at home with a Darsonval device has proven to be very effective in inhibiting sebaceous gland activity and disinfecting the skin—this is due to its bacteriostatic effect. Its mechanism is based on high-frequency electrotherapy, which stimulates the skin, improves blood circulation, and promotes tissue regeneration.
Dermatologist's recommendations for fighting acne
The Darsonval treatment is performed on dry, cleansed skin; before the treatment, remove all metal jewelry from the body, attach the appropriate attachment (a mushroom-shaped or spot attachment is best suited for the face), and plug it into an outlet portable Darsonval DARSOLINE 7.0 device and begin the treatment, which will help tighten pores and alleviate inflammation associated with acne and hyperpigmentation. Dermatologists agree that Darsonval therapy is a physiotherapeutic device-based treatment that is actively used to improve skin condition and is employed as one of the stages of at-home acne treatment.
When looking for the right device, you can browse our company’s Medica+ catalog and purchase a Darsonval device, which will replace a visit to a cosmetologist and become your faithful assistant in solving skin problems.
- Move the Darsonval in slow circular motions along the massage lines—from the center of the chin, the center of the nose, and the center of the forehead toward the ears.
- The mushroom-shaped attachment should be in contact with the skin on one side, while the other side should be raised 3–5 mm above the skin.
- Move the spot attachment over inflamed areas for 10–15 seconds, without lingering in one place for too long. You should feel a slight tingling sensation.
- It is important to start the treatment at the lowest power setting and gradually increase it.
- The entire treatment lasts 7–10 minutes, and a series of up to 15 treatments should be performed.
- Then disinfect the device and tone the skin.
Dermatologists agree that darsonvalization is a physiotherapeutic treatment using a device that is widely used to improve skin condition and is one of the steps in home acne treatment.
