To use an RF lifting device at home, as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, you need 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, which leads to warming of all layers of the epidermis.These manipulations lead to an increase in the density of collagen fibers, due to which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was adopted by cosmetologists not so long ago.Due to its effectiveness, low number of injuries, lack of a preparatory stage and serious rehabilitation, it has become acceptable for independent implementation.
How to choose a device for lifting at home?
To perform RF facelift 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:
- has the power necessary to warm the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté, a small power is enough, for the stomach, thighs, buttocks, a stronger power is enough to break orange peel cellulite);
- smoothly adjusts the optimal modes for different zones;
- assembled by a trusted manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- has guaranteed service.
Household devices used for lifting can cause unpleasant sensations for sensitive skin due to the inability to regulate the heating depth.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 facelift technology who appreciate the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue the procedures to improve their appearance without leaving their home.The main thing is to understand the wide variety of devices offered for lifting manipulations by production companies working for the beauty industry.
Today there are monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models, the effectiveness of which does not differ much from each other, with the exception of unipolar models - they are capable of heating the deepest layers of the dermis, giving a stronger result.However, this force also carries the risk of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas and, therefore, causing unwanted reactions of the body to radiofrequency pulses.
Higher polarity allows a more targeted and localized effect on certain areas strictly, guaranteeing the safety of the body.But a multi-pole device for RF lifting at home is a real luxury, because the prices for such devices are simply exorbitant.
There are models of mobile devices that are popular both among specialists and among those who decided to open a beauty salon at home.
How to carry out the procedure at home - step by step method?
Lifting at home requires special rules for the procedure, on which the result largely depends.The skin rejuvenation device should be installed in such a way that it can easily treat the dermis area.
Important!When lifting, you should feel intense heat, but not harsh, bordering on severe pain.The presence of pain and redness indicates that the power of the device was incorrectly selected!
If you follow a step-by-step method of cosmetic manipulation at home, RF facelift will not only meet your expectations, but also exceed them.
Preparation
RF can only be performed after preparation, which includes:
- removal of decorative cosmetics;
- clean the skin with a scrub;
- Rinse the dermis with clean, cool water.
After that, a special composition is applied to the area of the surface to be treated, which creates a contact medium and helps to strengthen the impulses.
Realization
If necessary, an anesthetic gel is applied to the prepared skin areas.Then the device is turned on and the active electrode is applied to the desired area at a distance of at least 5 cm.Further manipulations are carried out strictly according to the instructions, depending on the model of the device, and last on average 10-30 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 should be cleaned of gel with a paper towel and a nourishing cream should be applied.
After a few hours, you can wash your face with cold water and apply a hydrating and nourishing mask with a lifting effect to enhance the result.
