In order to use an RF lifting device at home, as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, you must have an understanding of the capabilities of the device and the mechanism of action of its active elements on the skin.
The essence of the method is 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, due to which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed out.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was adopted by cosmetologists not so long ago.Due to its effectiveness, low injury, absence of preparatory phase and serious rehabilitation, it has become acceptable for independent use.
How to choose a home lifting device?
To do RF lifting at home, it is not necessary to use a heavy-duty system with a large number of functions and modes of operation that are intended for professional beauty salons.
Just buy a portable device that:
- it has the necessary power to heat the treated areas (a small power is enough for the neck and décolletage, a stronger power is enough for the stomach, thighs, buttock to break the cellulite orange peel);
- smoothly adjusts optimal regimes for different zones;
- assembled by a verified manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- has guaranteed service.
Devices for home use used for lifting can cause unpleasant sensations in people with sensitive skin due to the impossibility of regulating the depth of heating.As a rule, this problem is solved with the help of cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of cosmetologists
Fans of RF lifting technology who appreciate the efficiency 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 manufacturing companies that work for the beauty industry.
Today, there are monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models on sale, which do not differ much from each other in terms of effectiveness, with the exception of unipolar ones - they are able to heat 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, causing unwanted reactions of the body to radiofrequency pulses.
Greater polarity enables a more targeted, localized effect on strictly defined areas, guaranteeing safety for the body.But a multipolar device for RF lifting at home is a real luxury, because the prices of such devices are simply 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 carry out the procedure at home - a step-by-step method?
Home lifting requires special rules for the procedure, on which the result largely depends.The skin rejuvenation device must be installed so that it is convenient for them to treat the dermis area.
Important!During the lift, you should feel an intense but not aggressive heat bordering on severe pain.The presence of pain and redness indicates that the power of the device is incorrectly selected!
If you follow the 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:
- removal of decorative cosmetics;
- cleansing the skin with exfoliation;
- rinsing the dermis with clean cold water.
After that, a special composition is applied to the area of the treated surface, which creates a contact medium and helps to strengthen the impulse.
Execution
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 device model and last on average 10-30 minutes.
Important!During the procedure, it is necessary to concentrate on thermal sensors that monitor the temperature of the dermis, which will avoid burns and overheating.
At the end of the procedure, the face should be cleaned from the gel with a paper napkin and a nourishing cream should be applied.
After a few hours, you can wash your face with cold water and make a moisturizing, nourishing mask with a lifting effect to improve the result.
Frequency
It is recommended to conduct sessions no more than once a week during several procedures.In the intervals between RF lifting, it is useful to perform dermis rehabilitation, which includes:
- use of special creams;
- use of nourishing masks;
- treatment with renewing serums and foams.
A cosmetologist can provide reliable information about the duration and intensity of the course after a personal examination.
