What is thermolifting of the face?
Thermolifting is the effect on the skin of infrared or radio wave rays, which are converted into thermal energy and have a positive effect on the skin.
The procedure is aimed at stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, reducing the depth of wrinkles and enhancing skin lifting and allows achieving results comparable to plastic surgery. Thermolifting improves blood circulation, launches rejuvenation processes, and activates the restoration of collagen fibers. In addition to eliminating age-related changes on the face and body, with the help of thermolifting you can get rid of stretch marks on the stomach and remove the “orange peel” from the buttocks and thighs.
Result and recovery period
Smas lifting has a short recovery period. If the skin turns red after the session, it will return to its normal color after 3 hours. Swelling is allowed, which usually lasts no longer than 2 days.
What not to do after an eyelid lift for 5 days:
- wash your face with hot water, steam your skin, warm it up in every possible way;
- visit the pool;
- do facial piercings, chemical peeling;
- sunbathe, including in a solarium;
- load yourself with physical exercise.
The advantage of smas-lifting is that the effect is visible immediately after and has a cumulative property: within 90 days the result will only improve. The doctor, based on the indications and complexity of the problem, can prescribe from 1 to 3 visits with an average frequency of once every six months.
If you need a lift, but you are afraid to go under the surgeon’s knife, come for non-surgical blepharoplasty at the Biomed clinic. We carry out this procedure on the latest generation ULTRAFORMER III device.
All doctors of our center have undergone specialized training and have confirmation in the form of certificates. We will be glad to see you at the Biomed laser therapy centers in Moscow and St. Petersburg!
Types of thermolifting
RF lifting
Radio frequency thermolifting (or RF lifting) is a procedure based on the radio wave method of heating the deep layers of skin under the epidermis. As a result of targeted impact on the most vulnerable areas, thinning of the fat layer occurs, reflex expansion of blood vessels and acceleration of metabolism. But the main effect is the effect on collagen. Stretched collagen fibers are reduced under the influence of RF lifting, due to which the skin becomes firm and elastic again.
RF lifting can be carried out in several modes, depending on the type of device and the settings used:
1
Monopolar. Uniform development of the selected area at the same depth. It is characterized by high power and correspondingly high exposure temperatures (50-60°C), so it is not suitable for delicate areas.
2
Bipolar. Switching the polarity allows you to reduce the power and temperature of exposure (up to 45°C). Suitable for delicate areas.
3
Tripolar. The latest generation of devices with constantly changing polarity. It has the most gentle effect and allows you to quickly work on large areas. Can be used on any skin type and in the most delicate areas, including the area around the eyes.
Idealist cosmetology uses a modern monopolar device Radiosurg made in Germany and a bipolar device Geneo+ from Pollogen made in Israel.
The cost of RF lifting at Idealist cosmetology depends on the area where it is performed. Prices start from 3 thousand rubles – separately for the eye area, neck, and décolleté. The cost of the face + neck + décolleté complex is 8 thousand rubles.
Infrared
Thermal effects are produced using infrared radiation. The procedure is gentle on the skin and does not cause complications. Thermolifting allows you to correct and tighten the oval of the face, reduce nasolabial folds and jowls, tighten the skin and reduce the depth of wrinkles.
Fractional infrared thermolifting
Fractional means that the maniple does not act as a continuous spot, but in fractions, that is, it is divided into small segments of influence.
Microneedling RF lifting
The RF lifting procedure is performed by cosmetologist Yuliana Shiyan
Patient Lyudmila Eduardovna came to us. We are planning to do a radiofrequency RF lifting procedure. This is micro-needle RF lifting or otherwise called fractional RF lifting. What is he doing?
It improves skin quality. We need to tighten the skin, tighten it up a little, reduce its area so that the face and neck are more toned, the eyes are more open. In general, to make the face look more youthful. Now we will cleanse your face and numb it properly.
How many procedures do we need to make me beautiful?
Ideally, in order to tighten the skin, it is advisable to have at least two or three procedures, with a difference of about a month.
The intervention of a cosmetologist is required to make the skin denser. To reduce wrinkles, creases and, of course, we are not expecting some incredible lifting from this procedure.
But given the fact that over time, tissues shrink in area under fractional radiofrequency exposure. Light lifting will be provided. There will be thickening of the skin, and the patient will have a feeling of freshness and youthfulness on the face.

Start of the procedure
Examination of the patient Procedure plan
Applying cream
Preparing for anesthesia We clean the skin before applying the numbing cream. The Fractora procedure is not very comfortable if performed without anesthesia, so cream anesthesia is required. 30 minutes is usually enough to numb the skin well and make the procedure quite comfortable.
How long will I feel youthful after the FRACTORA procedure?
It will increase from procedure to procedure. When we talk about the fact that the skin already requires compaction and reduction in area, we are not talking about one procedure, but several. And from procedure to procedure this effect will increase. When we talk about a course, about 3-4 months after the last procedure, the maximum effect will be visible. If this is one procedure, similarly, 3-4 months after it you will see the effect that one radiofrequency thermolifting procedure can give.
Anesthesia film
Cream under film
The anesthesia is cream. I'm now applying the film. This is called occlusion anesthesia. Under the film, the anesthetic cream works much faster and better. It doesn't have time to dry out.

Everything associated with such rejuvenation is not always painless. If you want rejuvenation to be as painless as possible, it is better to start visiting a cosmetologist early. The older we get, the more attention our skin requires due to exposure to the sun (photoaging). Pigment spots appear. When wrinkles appear on our skin, all procedures that somehow improve the quality of the skin are usually traumatic and require some rehabilitation.
And there are also lovers who constantly introduce you to the sun. There is an opinion that the more tanned the face looks, the younger it will appear. But no one takes into account the fact that with age, exposing a person’s face to the sun, mechanisms are activated that will be very difficult to stop later.
Exposure to ultraviolet rays on the skin triggers all the processes that provoke the destruction of collagen (elastosis), pigment spots appear, which can sometimes take on a very ugly appearance and look weird on the face. A bunch of benign neoplasms appear - these are nevi and keratomas.
It takes a lot of effort to get your face looking fresh again. And at an older age, the procedures are very traumatic and require long-term rehabilitation. We now leave the patient with pain relief for 30 minutes.
How is the procedure performed?
Thermolifting of the face is a quick and painless procedure that does not require special preparation. Stages of implementation:
1
Consultation with a cosmetologist, determination of the thermolifting technique, area of influence, number of sessions.
2
Skin cleansing.
3
Applying a special thermal lifting product to the skin. It not only eliminates discomfort, but also increases the efficiency of penetration.
4
Impact on the skin using a device configured to individually selected parameters. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes.
No recovery required. For the first time after thermolifting, it is not recommended to be exposed to direct sunlight, visit baths, or open reservoirs.

Patient reviews with before and after photos
Cosmetologists at the Idealista clinic practice only those procedures that give visible results. Positive reviews about thermolifting of the face and body confirm the effectiveness of the technique; the visual result can be assessed from the before and after photos.
“I thought for a long time about which rejuvenation procedure to choose, and in the end I settled on thermolifting. I was satisfied with everything! And the price, and the procedure itself, and its result. The changes are noticeable immediately. The skin became smoother and very beautiful. And over the next month, my appearance only improved; all my friends immediately started asking what I was using. Be sure to try it!”
“For a long time I wanted to correct the contour of my face and remove age-related folds, so I decided to go to a cosmetology clinic. They suggested that I do thermolifting. The price, of course, is not very cheap, but I am completely satisfied with the result. It will be necessary to repeat periodically for the results to be maintained. A good procedure and absolutely painless. Yes, and the recovery is very fast and almost imperceptible. Compared to other procedures, this seems to me the most reliable.”
“With age, unsightly folds have formed on the face. Wrinkles are completely invisible in comparison. I read a lot about thermolifting, so I decided to sign up for this procedure. As a result, it took little time and did not cause any discomfort. After the procedure, the result was noticeable almost immediately. The cost is high, but justified, I think. I will continue to do thermolifting.”
After the RF micro-needle lifting procedure

The patient tolerated the procedure very well. Although the procedure is not very pleasant in some places. Somewhere there is blood dew and muscle twitching. After the procedure, there is a slight burning sensation and heat on the face. Swelling of course increases, this sometimes confuses patients, but we warn them. In 2 weeks I will be waiting for this patient for a reconstructive procedure. it will be hyaluronic acid with peptides in the form of biorevitalization and in the future, in a month we will meet with her for the second procedure of micro-needle RF lifting.
This patient is complex. Why? Firstly, this is age - more than 70 years. It is certainly very commendable and pleasant that women at this age take care of themselves and do not care what they look like, but in terms of working with them, from the point of view of a cosmetologist, there are certain difficulties.
The skin does not give such a good return, its regenerative abilities are not at all the same. There are changes that are difficult to reverse, almost impossible. If we do stimulating procedures, be it laser or Fractor or micro-needle RF lifting, then such patients require enormous preparation. A cosmetologist needs to increase the skin's regenerative abilities.
Exposure to physical factors is one thing, completely different is how the skin and tissues will respond to this influence! Women at 30 years old, at 50 years old and at 70 years old will have completely different reactions to the same procedure, simply because they have completely different skin regenerative abilities. Some skin reacts very strongly. It provides good cell division and good collagen formation.
Thanks to this, the skin actually thickens and tightens, even if it is just a sensation and not a visual effect. And of course, it’s a completely different matter when it’s the skin of a seventy-year-old woman.
It will be difficult to achieve any WOW effect here so easily and so quickly! But you can significantly improve the quality of your skin. I think that during the procedure you saw how flabby the skin is, how it gathers into a “tuck” and this “tuck” does not always straighten out quickly.
I think it will be at least 3 procedures with an interval of once a month. Ideally, it would be nice to have a good course of injections based on hyaluronic acid, peptides and plasma between these procedures.
Photos from the FACE LIFT procedure
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO YOU NEED TO TAKE AND HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
Recommended course for face, neck and décolleté: 4-8 procedures lasting 20-60 minutes.
Recommended course for the body: 6-12 procedures lasting 30-90 minutes.
The duration of the course depends on the characteristics of the skin and the treatment area.
The procedure should be carried out once a week.
We recommend repeating the course of treatment after 6 months to maintain the achieved results.
Benefits of hardware lifting
Hardware lifting methods do not injure the skin or violate its integrity. Already after the first session there is a visible effect!
There is no need to be afraid of side effects - the risk of their occurrence after a hardware lift is minimal. Experts say: during sessions, patients do not feel pain, and afterward they do not notice swelling and inflammation. All this thanks to a gentle lifting technique.
There are several hardware lifting technologies. Let's consider those that give predictable results and are currently actively practiced by cosmetologists.
