Operating principle of RF lifting

The implementation of the technology of the rejuvenating effect of RF-lifting is carried out through the use of electromagnetic waves (the abbreviation RF stands for radio frequency or radio wave).

The skin matrix consists of specific collagen and elastic fibers, which are protein compounds. They determine the firmness, firmness and elasticity of the skin. As a person ages, the properties and structure of such fibers change - they lengthen, delaminate with the formation of molecular breaks. Additional cross-links are also formed between collagen molecules, which reduces their extensibility and elasticity.

Exposure to a radio wave of a certain frequency leads to a local increase in temperature, which causes a change in the spatial structure of protein molecules (partial denaturation). This is perceived by the body as a damaging effect and signals special skin cells to synthesize new collagen and elastin fibers. Thus, not only remodeling of old collagen occurs, but also stimulation of the synthesis of new fibers. In general, such a local effect of an electromagnetic wave on the skin and subcutaneous tissue leads to the following anti-aging effects:

tightening the skin, reducing its sagging due to shortening the length of collagen molecules, eliminating their separation and intramolecular breaks;
increased elasticity due to restoration of structure and increase in the number of elastic fibers of connective tissue;
increasing the hydrophilicity of subcutaneous tissue fibers, due to a natural increase in the concentration of hyaluronic acid and glycosamines.

Such effects lead to the development of a pronounced anti-aging result that lasts for quite a long time.

Advantages

The inner surface of the pores has a structure similar to the outer areas of the skin. Being oriented deep into the skin, the time can serve as a channel leading into the depths of the dermis, which makes this technology absolutely safe and suitable in all seasons of the year. The use of 2-5% aqueous solutions of Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid as solutions makes it possible to create deep in the skin storages of acid irritants signaling the presence of a foreign chemically *dangerous* guest, which develops an anti-inflammatory response consisting of increased formation and growth of new cells, proper collagen and elastina. The fullness and density of the skin increases. Melanin regeneration occurs. The number of neuropeptides increases, which increases the sensitivity and reactivity of the skin.

Types and evolution of RF lifting

Depending on the technological approaches to the impact of radio waves on local areas of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, there are several main types of RF lifting, we will consider them below.

Monopolar RF lifting

The attachment, which is applied to the problem area of the skin, contains only one electrode. The other (polar) electrode is located in a different area of the body. This version of the technology makes it possible to achieve significant local heating of the fibers and a pronounced lifting effect. However, there is a risk of developing side effects due to the uncontrolled passage of electromagnetic waves through large areas of the body.

Bipolar or multipolar RF lifting

The nozzle for influencing the skin contains 2 or more polar electrodes. This makes it possible to achieve controlled heating of tissues, but not such a high local heating temperature. Our clinic offers a 3MAX thermolifting device, which has a fairly mild effect, and we can change the depth and degree of heating without fear of adverse reactions. To achieve the effect, 6-10 procedures are required.

Matrix RF lifting

Evolutionarily, this is the most modern method, safe as multipolar, but effective as monopolar RF lifting. The attachment uses a significant number of polar needles - electrodes, which allows you to achieve a volumetric 3D-lifting effect on the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and regulate the depth of penetration of the electromagnetic wave.

Microneedling fractional 3D RF lifting INFINI

A variant of matrix technology is micro-needle fractional 3D RF lifting. To carry it out, the American-Korean company Lutronic created a special INFINI device, which allows for volumetric 3D exposure to electromagnetic waves on the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

Features of Infini

The polar electrodes are presented in the form of 49 gold-plated ultra-thin needles, which allows them to be inserted to different depths and adjust the volumetric effect. Thus, the technologies of microneedling and fractional RF therapy are combined.
Orderly and consistent introduction of microneedles reduces unnatural stretching of the skin and makes the procedure virtually painless.
The needles have a special silicone coating along their entire length, except for the tip. Thus, it allows the radio wave to be delivered directly into the dermis without negative thermal effects on the epidermis (the surface layer of the skin). In previous generation devices, the needles are not insulated, and the current is supplied along the entire length of the needle, which makes the procedure more traumatic and also eliminates the possibility of 3D skin rejuvenation.

What is the principle of 3D lifting?

The adjustable RF delivery depth allows for multiple passes at different skin depths in one session. Penetration depth is adjustable from 0.5 mm to 3 mm. Such a precise approach allows you to select the optimal radio wave exposure to achieve the maximum effect of rejuvenation and tightening of the skin, depending on the severity of its changes. And alternating areas of skin damage with untouched areas will significantly shorten the rehabilitation period and speed up skin healing.

Drug delivery

The delivery mechanism is original both logically and physically, patented and implemented in the form of a unique procedural attachment, which in itself represents a breakthrough in micro plastic injection technology. The mechanism of action is simple and understandable to medical specialists and accessible to their patients. The newest delivery method opens up almost unlimited possibilities for specialists. By using various liquid preparations with different properties, you can achieve the desired results without causing injury or trauma to the skin, maintaining its integrity and health.

Indications for micro-needle RF lifting

decreased skin elasticity with the development of a “fading” effect;
ptosis (drooping) of facial skin; (“jowls”), which lead to changes in the oval and symmetry of the face;
wrinkles with a predominant localization around the eyes (“crow’s feet”), sagging and sagging of the upper eyelid;
enlarged pores
small cicatricial changes in the skin of the face, in particular after acne;
the development of skin stretch marks, especially in women after pregnancy or after a fairly rapid loss of body weight on the skin of the abdomen and thighs;
sagging skin in “problem areas” of the body in men and women
increased sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Contraindications for INFINI RF lifting

INFINI microneedling RF lifting has certain absolute and relative contraindications. Absolute contraindications include body conditions in which the procedure cannot be performed at all. These include:

malignant neoplasms of any location in the body;
a woman’s pregnancy at any stage;
stage 3 hypertension with a significant increase in systemic blood pressure above normal;
systemic autoimmune connective tissue diseases - systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma;
the presence of a silicone implant, fresh connective tissue scars in the area of the intended procedure;
presence of cardiac pacemakers;
intolerance to current procedures.

In case of relative contraindications, the doctor makes the decision to perform INFINI microneedle RF lifting on an individual basis, depending on the risk of developing possible complications and the severity of the pathological process in the skin. Such contraindications include:

exacerbation of acne (acne);
chronic inflammatory or allergic skin pathology in the treated area;
rosacea in the acute stage.
hypersensitive skin.

How is the procedure performed using the Infini device?

Attention! Micro-needle attachment for 49 or 16 (for eyes) needles is purchased individually!

The procedure is performed under local anesthetic cream. Using an individual micro-needle attachment, the doctor treats the skin at a certain depth. The number of passes can vary from 1 to 3 depending on the treated area and skin condition. Immediately after the procedure, hyperemia and swelling are noted, which resolve on their own within an average of 2-3 days. By adjusting the parameters of the procedure, it is possible to achieve a gentle lifting with minimal rehabilitation within one day, which is convenient for working patients and does not require a break from work. Or vice versa, to achieve powerful lifting, correction of scar tissue and the overall effect of laser resurfacing without the formation of crusts due to the absence of damage to the epidermis and short rehabilitation.

The course of procedures is 3 sessions once a month, which already makes it possible to achieve a long-term result that lasts more than 2 years;

Lead Fine Lift mesothreads - a modern rejuvenation technique

Doctors at the DOCTORPLASTIK clinic use Lead Fine Lift mesothreads. They are made in South Korea, the birthplace of threadlifting. LFL thread material is polydioxanone. It is biologically inert and completely dissolves after 180–240 days, turning into water and carbon dioxide familiar to the human body.

Once inserted, LFL threads provide a supportive and tightening effect. Further presence of polydioxanone under the skin promotes its revitalization. The material is easily tolerated by the body and does not cause allergic reactions.

Advantages of micro-needle RF lifting performed using the INFINI device

the procedure is equally effective for patients of any age, regardless of skin type;
the procedure is completely controlled, the doctor can adjust the area and depth of exposure;
relatively small range of absolute contraindications;
there is no need for special training and a long rehabilitation period with a large number of different restrictions;
the versatility of the technique allows lifting not only the facial skin, but also the neck, décolleté, and other areas of the body;
the speed of the procedure, which averages 30-45 minutes (with more pronounced changes in the skin and a large area of lifting, the duration of the procedure can reach 60 minutes);
the effect is noticeable after the first session of micro-needle RF lifting;
Micro-needle RF lifting using the INFINI device does not increase the risk of developing skin pigmentation, so it can be performed at any time of the year;

The therapeutic anti-aging effect is noticeable after the first procedure; its strength is comparable to laser skin rejuvenation, but micro-needle RF lifting is characterized by the absence of crusts on the skin after the procedure and a shorter rehabilitation period.

Flaws

The microscopic dimensions of the streams impose additional requirements on the purity of the liquids used. The presence of impurities may cause the holes to become clogged. Disposable tips must be changed between patients. The device requires washing and maintenance between treatments. In areas of the facial skin, where the skin is attached - on the nose, the fit and sluicing effect are weaker, so the technique is a little more complicated. The device collects waste material in a special container without polluting the environment. The operation of the device is aimed at improving the quality of the skin, and not eliminating visible imperfections. This requires additional educational work with patients who expect immediate disappearance of irritating defects. The result comes after 3-4 weekly treatments, and then with regular one or two monthly maintenance treatments it lasts for an unlimited time. The principle is that rejuvenated skin, thicker and more elastic, will deal with age-related defects on its own.

Measures and restrictions after the procedure

After performing micro-needle RF lifting on the INFINI device, you should adhere to several restrictive recommendations, which include:

during the day after the procedure, you cannot perform other manipulations on the treated area of skin;
within three days after micro-needle RF lifting, it is necessary to limit exposure to sunlight on the skin and avoid visiting the beach, since the ultraviolet spectrum has a damaging effect and can lead to a deterioration in the overall anti-aging result;
Immediately after the procedure, it is necessary to ensure that there is no mechanical impact on the skin of the micro-needle RF lifting area, in particular, avoid scratching or rubbing it, including with clothing.

The procedure for micro-needle RF skin lifting using the INFINI device today has no analogues in the world in terms of safety, effectiveness and speed of rehabilitation. It appeared in Russia relatively recently and immediately took a strong position in terms of high-quality skin rejuvenation results. In this case, skin tightening and rejuvenation occurs in the most physiological natural way.
