RF lifting devices are devices that consist of a power supply unit and one or more special handpieces capable of generating RF current. It is impossible to determine the best apparatus for rf lifting, since they all differ in size, functionality, manufacturers, cost and basic technical characteristics.

There are stationary and portable types of devices for RF lifting. Stationary equipment models have big sizes, are characterized by increased power and performance, which allows them to be used for carrying out a large number procedures daily.

Portable devices consist of a power supply unit and a handpiece for processing leather, they do not have big size and are approved for use at home. Apparatus for carrying out rf lifting at home are very popular today, but it is necessary to understand that it is possible to obtain a pronounced effect of tightening and rejuvenating the skin only if the procedure is carried out in a professional cosmetology office.

Varieties of devices for RF lifting

The device for radiofrequency lifting contributes to the creation of an electromagnetic field in the deep layers of the dermis, which activates the process of the appearance of polar molecules in the tissues and accelerates the frequency of their oscillation, which leads to heating of the skin and causes a rejuvenating effect after the procedure. Depending on the number of electrodes in the device handpiece, a distinction is made between monopolar, bipolar and multipolar equipment models:

• monopolar devices are equipped with two electrodes, one of which the specialist fixes under the patient's scapula or gives it to his hand, and the second carries out the procedure, as a result of which radio wave energy is scattered over the entire surface of the body, which increases the risk of developing intradermal tissue burns;
• bipolar models are also equipped with two electrodes, but they are both located in one handpiece (the distance between the electrodes can be different, which determines the depth of penetration of radio frequency energy into the skin), which reduces the risk of burns during the procedure;
• in multipolar devices, one handpiece can contain several electrodes (from 3 to 20), but only two of them will be active at the time of the procedure (during skin treatment, the radio electrodes are constantly switched, which allows for a more uniform heating of the skin).

Number of handles in different models equipment can be the same, they differ from each other in diameters and the presence of a device that cools the skin during radio wave exposure (some manufacturers do not equip their devices with it) and a tissue heating power regulator.

The most commonly used agents are almond, citric, lactic, tartaric, malic and other types of fruit or alpha hydroxy acids, as well as salicylic and glycolic acids. At the same time, it is not difficult to make such a peeling, but it must be remembered that the concentration of acids should not be higher than 10, 15 or 20%, since more concentrated products can leave burns without the help of a specialist.
• Mechanical peeling which is essentially skin resurfacing. For this, microcrystalline and macrocrystalline scrubs with an abrasive base, gommage, film mask, brushing and other mechanical means are used to remove dead cell layers. All products can be purchased at retail or made at home from natural ingredients. Mechanical peeling is carried out together with micromassage, due to which the processes of cell renewal are activated.

Skin rejuvenation with radiofrequency pulses (RF-face lifting) is recognized as a safe, gentle and highly effective cosmetic procedure. The primary task of the impact is to restore the mechanism of natural tissue renewal, make the skin elastic, taut, smooth out age and expression wrinkles. It is worth noting important role radiofrequency rejuvenation in the prevention of integument aging. Carrying out radio wave lifting is performed on special equipment, the success of the procedure depends on its choice and the specified parameters. Which rf lifting device is better to use, what types are there, what are their features and approximate cost - read about all this further.

The effectiveness of the technique

Radio frequency (radio wave) rejuvenation is a type of hardware cosmetic procedure. With the help of a special apparatus, the cosmetologist directs radio frequency impulses to the problem, as a result, the temperature rises in the inner layers of the skin up to 42-60 degrees. The created conditions activate metabolic processes and the mechanism of fiber renewal, the synthesis of its own collagen, the process of natural skin rejuvenation takes place.

Indications for the use of radio frequency radiation are:

• expression and age wrinkles;
• pronounced nasolabial folds;
• signs of ptosis, prolapse of soft tissues;
• photoaging of the skin;
• bags under the eyes;
• weakening of tone, turgor of integuments;
• decreased tissue elasticity, flabbiness;
• double chin, floating oval of the face;
• scars, scars, stretch marks;
• post-acne;
• residual marks on the skin from childbirth and sudden weight loss;
• cellulite.

RF-lifting is considered a gentle technique, therefore it is safely used to solve the problems of sensitive areas around the eyes and mouth.

Age does not matter for radiofrequency rejuvenation, but cosmetologists recommend the procedure to patients over 30 years old. It is during this period that there is a decrease in skin resistance to age-related changes, the rapid appearance of wrinkles, integuments require additional support.

At the same time, RF radiation cannot correct the complex problems of mature skin. In this case, rf-lifting is prescribed as an auxiliary procedure for oil lifting, blepharoplasty, SMAS technology.

Is it possible to carry out at home

Facial rejuvenation using special equipment requires special skills, professionalism, cosmetologists first undergo appropriate training and practice. That is why RF-lifting is the prerogative of beauty salons, cosmetic centers and clinics.

Modern cosmetology has somewhat expanded the possibilities of lovers of "home rejuvenation" by offering portable devices for rf-lifting. They have a lower radiation power and guarantee a less pronounced effect, but regularity in combination with competent facial care can smooth out this difference.

Attention! Radiofrequency face lifting at home is inferior in efficiency to the salon procedure. The key factor in this case is not power, but the regularity and correctness of the procedures.

In order not to harm their health, the patient must strictly adhere to the rules for using the device, instructions and technology for carrying out lifting, to study in detail the contraindications to exposure to radio frequencies. Cosmetologists strongly recommend for their own safety to undergo appropriate training, attend courses in hardware cosmetology.

To perform RF rejuvenation at home, you will need to spend money on a portable RF lifting machine. They are lightweight and easy to move.

Types of devices

Portable devices are compact, easy to carry, so they are more convenient for home lifting. Portable devices consist of an attachment (handpiece) and a main part (power supply).

In addition to design features, all equipment is divided according to the number of electrodes and the technology of its impact:

• monopolar- 2 electrodes are used: one is located under the patient, the second is represented by a nozzle, it works out the problem area. Such devices are powerful, capable of heating the inner layers of the skin up to 60 degrees;
• bipolar- 2 electrodes are also used, but both of them are located in the handpiece (attachment). This effect is softer, sparing. The maximum heating temperature of the skin is 45 degrees;
• multipolar or multipolar devices- suggest the use of 3 or more electrodes, which alternately change their polarity. This technology allows for a deep and uniform impact on the problem;
• matrix- a type of radio frequency exposure of a new generation. Its peculiarity lies in microneedle electrodes. Needle lifting is gentle, maximally safe method, and in terms of effectiveness, in many cases, it is comparable to monopolar exposure;
• combined or complex- such devices simultaneously combine radio frequency radiation and other types of energy (for example, infrared radiation, laser beam).

• high blood pressure;
• general malaise, weakness, fever.

Possible consequences

The first days after the exposure, the skin is more sensitive, there is slight swelling, swelling and redness. These are normal phenomena, they do not require treatment and go away on their own.

TO possible complications should be attributed:

• blistering burns;
• cones;
• the effect of tissue suppression, which is accompanied by the formation of pits on the face. Its appearance is associated with uneven heating (overheating) of skin areas, contributing to the atrophy of adipose tissue;
• emergence age spots;
• scarring of tissues;
• herpes rash.

Complications after RF-lifting are an expression of insufficient experience and professionalism of a cosmetologist, neglect of existing contraindications and an unfair attitude to preparation and rehabilitation on the part of the client.

Pros and cons

Radiofrequency rejuvenation is one of the demanded hardware techniques. The advantages of the procedure include:

• painlessness of exposure, the use of an anesthetic cream is rarely required;
• exclusion of damage, injury to tissues;
• fast effect;
• the natural process of rejuvenation starts;

The disadvantages of the technique include an impressive list of contraindications.

Where is it better to perform lifting: in the salon or at home

If radiofrequency lifting is used to solve certain, pronounced skin problems, then the help of a specialist will be more effective. Plus, the risk of complications and side effects is minimal.

But keep in mind that you need to study the technology and subtleties of execution, it is recommended to undergo appropriate training and consult a beautician about the presence of contraindications.

The opinion of specialists in cosmetology

Cosmetologists have a positive attitude to radiofrequency face lifting, using it as an independent procedure or in combination with other methods of rejuvenation. The procedure is aimed at self-rejuvenation, starting the active synthesis of its own collagen with minimal risks of unpleasant consequences - this is always welcome.

Here are some tips from cosmetologists when choosing equipment for lifting with radio frequency pulses:

There are also conflicting views about the effectiveness of therapy and equipment. We offer one of them:

A facelift is a question that worries almost everyone after 30. There is not always the time and opportunity to go to the salons. Lifting at home is quite simple. The main thing is to understand what technologies will help us in this.

Now in stores it is presented wide range of various devices for home use promising a quick and effective face lift at home. Moreover, these devices are compact and not so expensive.

Let's consider the most common ones and see if they are as good as they say in advertising.

The most effective home lifting devices

– 1 –

Myostimulation- under the influence of microcurrents, muscle fibers contract. As a result, the muscle is toned, and the skin under which this muscle is located automatically becomes tighter. The cost of a good home device is on average from 30 thousand rubles.

Of the minuses of this procedure, soreness in the area of ​​exposure can be noted. and contraindications, which include oncological diseases, the period of pregnancy and lactation, the presence of pacemakers and diseases of the cardiovascular system in the stage of decompensation, epilepsy, inflammatory skin diseases in the area of ​​application, individual intolerance to alternating current. Also, do not place electrodes on the sides of the neck or on the throat.

– 2 –

Darsonvalization Is another of the most well-known home lifting techniques. Its action consists in the effect of high-frequency impulse currents on the skin. but for a person, darsonvalization is not effective enough.

The most popular darsonvalization apparatus for home use is the Corona. It has a low price, about 5 thousand rubles.

The procedure is less painful than myostimulation, but it does not have such an effect on the muscles either.... Contraindications are the same as for microcurrent therapy.

– 3 –

RF lifting- This is a lifting of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté due to exposure to radio frequency waves. The heating of collagen fibers leads to their contraction, which causes a facelift.

You can also use it at home, but due to the high cost of the device, the procedure is most often done in the salon. Such home apparatus for lifting is quite cumbersome, the cost is 60-100 thousand rubles.

In addition to the above, contraindications include the presence of metal threads and implants in the skin, which can heat up during the procedure and cause burns to the skin and muscles.

– 4 –

Phonophoresis, iontophoresis, light therapy- it is customary to combine these 3 influences with one word: "mesporation". As cosmetologists say, this is an analogue of mesotherapy, but without the use of a needle, therefore it is less traumatic for the skin. Under the influence of ultrasound, positively and negatively charged ions and infrared radiation, all previously applied components penetrate deep into the skin. In contrast to simple application of products, when penetration is limited to the epidermis, here the nourishing and moisturizing components can reach the level of the dermis.

Mesoporation is the most affordable option for effective lifting at home, since the cost of the device is small, and the device itself is very small. For example, it has proven itself well Korean machine - MS EGG from Mirang .

It combines infrared radiation, ion therapy, thermal massage, vibration massage and microcurrents.

After the procedure, the complexion improves, the skin elasticity increases, and edema decreases. It is necessary to work with the device on moist skin, in order to avoid unpleasant sensations. You can moisten your face with filtered water from a spray bottle. Contraindications, as with all the procedures described earlier.

Face lifting procedures at home

– 1 –

Massage: it can be either manual or using a vacuum can. With this effect on the skin, blood and lymph flow improves, edema decreases, the face contour becomes clearer and more toned. Massage with a vacuum can is contraindicated for people with rosacea - dilated vessels in the face. To avoid capillary rupture, only a very gentle manual massage can be used, giving preference to stroking movements.
