To use an RF lifting device at home as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, it is necessary to understand the capabilities of the device and the mechanism of action of its active elements on the skin.
The essence of the method lies in the effect of radio frequencies on the skin and subcutaneous layer, as a result of which all layers of the epidermis are heated.These manipulations lead to an increase in the density of collagen fibers, as a result of which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was adopted by cosmetologists recently.Due to its effectiveness, low injury rate, lack of a preparatory phase and serious rehabilitation, it has become acceptable for independent implementation.
How to choose a home lifting device?
To perform RF lifting at home, it is not necessary to use a robust system with a large number of functions and operating modes intended for professional beauty salons.
Simply purchase a portable device that:
- it has the necessary power to heat the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté, a small power is enough, for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, a stronger power is enough to break down the orange peel of cellulite);
- smoothly adjusts optimal modes for different zones;
- assembled by a trusted manufacturer;
- health insurance;
- has guaranteed service.
Home appliances used for lifting can cause unpleasant sensations in those with sensitive skin due to the inability to regulate the depth of heating.As a rule, this problem is solved with the help of a cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of cosmetologists
Fans of RF lifting technology who appreciate the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue procedures to improve their appearance without leaving home.The main thing is to understand the wide variety of devices that are offered for lifting manipulations by producers working for the beauty industry.
Today, monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models are on sale, which do not differ much in effectiveness from each other, with the exception of unipolar ones - they are capable of heating the deeper layers of the dermis, giving a stronger result.However, this force also contains the danger of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas and, as a result, provoking adverse reactions of the body to the radiofrequency pulses.
The higher polarity allows for a more targeted and localized effect in strictly specific areas, ensuring safety for the body.But a multipolar device for RF survey at home is a real luxury, since the prices for such devices are simply sky-high.
There are models of mobile devices that are popular both among experts and among those who have decided to set up a beauty salon at home.
How to perform the procedure at home - step by step method?
Home survey requires special rules for the procedure, on which the result largely depends.The device for skin rejuvenation must be installed in such a way that it is convenient for them to treat the dermis area.
Important!During lifting, you should feel intense but not aggressive heat, on the verge of severe pain.The presence of pain and redness indicates that the power of the device was selected incorrectly!
If you follow a step-by-step method of cosmetic manipulation at home, RF lifting will not only meet your expectations, but also exceed them.
Preparation
RF can only be performed after preparation, which includes:
- removing decorative cosmetics;
- cleanse the skin with an exfoliant;
- rinse the dermis with clean, cold water.
Then a special composition is applied to the surface area to be treated, which creates a contact medium and helps to strengthen the impulses.
Performing
If necessary, an anesthetic gel is applied to the prepared areas of the skin.Then, the device is turned on and the active electrode is applied to the desired area from a distance of at least 5 cm.Further manipulations are carried out strictly according to the instructions, depending on the device model and take an average of 10 to 30 minutes.
Important!During the procedure, it is necessary to focus on thermal sensors that monitor the temperature of the dermis, which will prevent burns and overheating.
At the end of the procedure, the face must be wiped from the gel with a paper napkin and a nourishing cream must be applied.
After a few hours, you can wash your face with cold water and apply a moisturizing, nourishing and lifting mask to enhance the results.
Frequency
It is recommended to carry out sessions no more than once a week for several procedures.In the intervals between RF lifting, it is useful to carry out dermal rehabilitation, which includes:
- use of special creams;
- the use of nourishing masks;
- treatment with restorative serums and foams.
A cosmetologist can provide reliable information about the duration and intensity of the course after a personal examination.
Resources and recommendations
To achieve the rejuvenating effect, a face lift at home often has a softer, smoother and therefore weaker effect than in a beauty salon.Therefore, to obtain a good result, it is necessary to follow the following recommendations:
- procedures must be carried out regularly;
- The duration of the course for each treated area must be complete and not interrupted;
- you need to use only high-quality procedural cosmetics;
- try to combine RF lifting with other rejuvenation procedures in a complex.
Indications
This procedure is recommended for those who:
- age-related changes in the skin have appeared - a decrease in turgor, sagging, wrinkles;
- there are enlarged pores, sagging and dull skin;
- excess skin appeared as a result of weight loss or liposuction;
- the peel of orange cellulite is visible.
On the face, the procedure is only recommended after the age of 40, when the first signs of skin aging become noticeable.
Contraindications
The restrictions for the RF skin tightening procedure are:
- pregnancy and lactation period;
- history of abnormal tumors;
- inflammatory processes in the dermis;
- any illness in the acute phase;
- increased skin sensitivity.
The desire to stay young for as long as possible is currently supported by technological developments such as RF devices, which allow you to turn what you want into a reality at home at no extra cost.
