To preserve the beauty and youth of the face, it is not necessary to lie under the scalpel of a plastic surgeon. Thanks to technological progress and the active development of the cosmetics industry, it is possible to improve the appearance and maintain the freshness of the skin with the help of hardware lifting techniques. The right selection and combination of procedures will help you look 10-15 years younger, which is why cosmetic clinics are in constant demand for such services. But before you decide to rejuvenate the hardware, you need to get acquainted with its main types, their characteristics and also discuss the presence of contraindications with a specialist. Such an approach will allow you to individually choose a set of procedures to suit a particular patient and to meet him in all parameters.
What is hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation
Hardware cosmetology combines rejuvenating and healing manipulations, which are performed with the help of special equipment. The advantages of this technique include:
- high efficiency;
- impact not only on the superficial layers of the skin, but also on the deep structures, subcutaneous tissue;
- complete absence or low degree of pain during the session;
- almost instantaneous manifestation of positive changes;
- flexibility - hardware cosmetology can solve many problems with the skin of the face or body;
- does not need long-term recovery (as after surgery).
The main disadvantages are the side effects (most often minor - peeling, swelling, redness), as well as the need for a short period of rehabilitation or compliance with certain rules. In addition, there is a high risk of contact not with a professional doctor, but with an amateur, whose manipulations can lead to complications.
Principle of action, result
Hardware cosmetology is based on the ability to penetrate microcurrents, laser beams, light, ultrasound or radio waves deep into the skin, followed by stimulation of hidden reserves and activation of regenerative properties. The result of this effect is lifting the contours of the face, smoothing its relief, smoothing the tone, removing pronounced or age wrinkles, wrinkles, bags under the eyes.The action of the devices is also aimed at the capillary walls and the improvement of microcirculatory processes, which allows you to remove dark circles under the eyes, to remove the signs of hyperpigmentation.
To improve the effect, to prolong its durability, it is recommended to combine the techniques of traditional cosmetology with hardware methods.
Indications
Hardware lifting techniques may be recommended by a cosmetologist when:
- decreased skin tone, dullness, fading;
- the appearance of fine wrinkles;
- uneven skin relief;
- aggravation of the severity of existing wrinkles or imitating folds, vertical furrows;
- bruises or bags under the eyes;
- wings;
- second chin;
- enlarged pores, acne, post-acne;
- couperosis; freckles or age-related hyperpigmentation;
- presence of scars, scars, stretch marks.
The main purpose of hardware lifting is to regenerate the skin, giving it freshness and elasticity. Therefore, after 25 years you can perform preventive procedures that will maintain the normal condition of the skin.
With all its effectiveness, the active influence of hardware devices has a number of contraindications, which include lactating pregnancy, serious neurological or mental disorders, the presence of chronic pathologies, autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, infectious or oncological processes, the presence of foreignbodies in the body.
The most effective hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation
Today there are many types of hardware cosmetic procedures and their variations. Below is a list of the most effective and safe, according to experts.
RF lift
The most popular procedure in which skin structures are exposed to powerful pulses of radio waves emitted by a special device.As a result, the process of activating the metabolism begins, fat cells are destroyed, fibroblasts are stimulated - "youth cells", which are responsible for the production of collagen.
Due to the fact that the design of the device allows you to adjust the intensity of radio radiation, the technique can be applied to different areas of the face, as well as areas of the neck, neck and chest. In most cases, to achieve the desired appearance, patients need 5 to 8 sessions, the frequency of which is determined individually.The main advantage of fractional RF lifting is the complete absence of a period of rehabilitation, minor side effects in the form of dry skin. The main disadvantage is a slight effect after 45 years. Although, if you combine this technique with biorevitalization, conducting radio wave sessions is justified even at 60.
Microcurrent hardware facelift
During the rejuvenation session, the device acts on problem areas with low pulses of low frequency current. This stimulates the natural potential of old or weakened cells of the superficial and deep layers, activates their regeneration, while affecting the vessels of the face and muscle structures. The duration of the procedure is 20-30 minutes, during which the beautician smoothly moves a special applicator along the massage lines, in the direction from the center of the face to its periphery. At the same time, patients do not experience much discomfort, except perhaps a slight tingling in particularly sensitive areas.
The most positive feature of microcurrent lifting is the immediate facelift. But this does not mean that one procedure is enough for rejuvenation - the effect after the first sessions lasts only a few days.Only a course of physiotherapy consisting of 7-10 procedures can provide a long-term result.
Cryotherapy
A method of rejuvenation by exposing the skin surface to low temperatures. In this case, a natural reaction of the skin occurs, which consists in a sharp narrowing and subsequent dilation of blood vessels, resulting in activation of blood circulation, oxygen supply and increased metabolic processes.
Cold treatment has been practiced since ancient times - Galen and Hippocrates recommended taking ice baths to treat many diseases.
With the help of cryotherapy you can not only improve the tone and elasticity of the skin, remove wrinkles on the face, neck or décolleté, but also get rid of defects such as:
- excessive oily skin;
- acne, after acne;
- acne;
- age spots;
- warts;
- marks.
In most beauty salons the procedure is performed using cryo spray, which cools the skin to -180 ° C. The use of cryo electrophoresis - subcutaneous injection of frozen preparations under the influence of pulsating current - is considered more modern and effective. 9 to 12 sessions will be needed for full effect.In addition to the contraindications typical of hardware cosmetology, cryolifting should not be performed on patients with hypersensitivity to cold.
Photorejuvenation
Hardware of soft action, does not cause injury and the appearance of traces of any intervention. The procedure consists of treating problem areas with a special applicator that emits powerful light flashes. Penetrating deep enough (up to 3 cm), they promote slight heating of deep structures and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen fibers. After a course of photolifting you can see the following positive changes:
- face tone alignment;
- narrowing of the pores;
- tightening the contour;
- removal or reduction of the depth of wrinkles, folds;
- reduce the manifestations of rosacea.
Disadvantages of the technique include the lack of immediate result - the first manifestations of the effect are noticed only after 1, 5 months, low efficiency after 55 years, quite high cost and seasonality (it is undesirable to expose light in summer).
Laser rejuvenation
Technique based on simultaneous impact on deep and surface layers. The high-temperature laser beam corrects surface defects and, penetrating deeply, stimulates internal self-healing, the synthesis of useful components, which leads to natural renewal and rejuvenation of the skin surface. Despite its low invasiveness, the procedure is considered difficult and is performed in an inpatient setting and also requires a short rehabilitation period.
LPG massage
An effective method to combat the first signs of aging, superficial wrinkles. The success of LPG massage lies in the simultaneous operation of special rollers and vacuum, which allows it to act on the subcutaneous adipose tissue, to stimulate collagen production. The procedure is also good because it does not require rehabilitation and is almost never accompanied by side effects. In addition, such a massage is expensive and the whole course consists of 10-15 procedures.
ELOS-rejuvenation
Technology that uses a complex of optical and laser energies. During the Elos rejuvenation session, the subcutaneous layers are heated to a high temperature, which stimulates the synthesis of fibers responsible for the health and youth of the skin. This allows you to solve the problem of pigmentation, rosacea, to smooth the relief of the skin, to correct wrinkles of varying severity.
Ultrasonic lifting
A technique that involves the action of a wavy acoustic pulse on superficial and deep subcutaneous structures under constant ultrasonic control of a monitor. At the same time, the integrity of the skin is not compromised, no subsequent rehabilitation or special treatment of the face is required. The method is widely used for drooping, drooping eyelids, double chin, flaps, deep wrinkles or furrows. The disadvantage is the need to relieve pain before the session.
What devices are used - a list of the best
In order for the lift to be as effective as possible, you must ask a specialist on which device the procedure will be performed. To date, recognized as the best:
The first device to receive a US FDA certification certificate. Before the appearance of this device, such a deep intervention can be performed only surgically, as the action of the device is directed not to the skin itself, but to the muscular-aponeurotic layer. In this case, the condition of the subcutaneous structures is constantly visualized and monitored.
A device for high-performance focused ultrasound with a high degree of control by deep scanning of dermal structures. Allows you to solve the problem in a direction without affecting the problem areas. Rejuvenation requires only one session, after which the effect increases for 2-3 months and lasts up to 1, 5 years.
Home equipment
Portable lifting devices are quite expensive, but at the same time allow you to take care of your skin without visiting a salon. Unfortunately, such devices cannot correct serious defects due to their low power, which is ensured for the safety of consumers. For preventive and general health purposes, it is best to use time-tested models.
