Cosmetologists widely use RF-lifting devices in their work. These devices have different prices and sizes. Can be used both at home and in beauty salons. We will look at the best RF lifting devices and make a rating.
What are RF lifting devices used for?
Complexes of procedures with RF lifting devices are recommended if you have:
- Mimic age wrinkles;
- Bags under the eyes;
- Scars or scars;
- Loose skin;
- Residual marks after childbirth and with sudden weight loss;
- Photoaging (decrease in skin elasticity under the influence of ultraviolet radiation);
- Deformations of the oval face;
- Post-acne;
- Decreased skin elasticity;
- The appearance of a double chin.
The RF lifting device affects the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. In addition, high-frequency waves penetrating the lower layers of the skin slightly heat them. Heating affects old and stretched “springs” of collagen. As a result, they are reduced and new ones are added. The skin is tightened, wrinkles are smoothed out, the oval of the face becomes clear, as in youth. Under the influence of HF exposure, blood vessels pump blood better, metabolism and skin cell renewal accelerate.
Types of devices
RF lifting devices differ in design and method of exposure to the skin.
They are:
- Monopolar – 2 electrodes are used to treat problem areas. Can heat the skin up to 60°;
- Bipolar - more gentle effects and lower heating temperature (up to 45o);
- Matrix – a matrix of electrodes in the form of small needles is used;
- Combined – simultaneously use several types of RF radiation;
- Multipolar – several electrodes (at least 3) with different types of energies.
The effect of high-frequency waves on the body
Common people consider this method a novelty in cosmetology, but this is a misconception. Radiofrequency effects on the body became known to scientists more than a hundred years ago. In 1905, the German scientist Nagelshimid and his Czech colleague Zeinek conducted research on the method of treatment with high-frequency currents. Their attention was drawn to the fact that RF radiation has a pronounced thermal effect. The technique was called diathermy.
After a series of studies, scientists came to the conclusion that this method is effective in treating spasms of blood vessels, ureter and bile ducts, various neuralgia, pain in muscles and joints. Diathermy was first used in cosmetology in 2001. Scientists have developed an electrode with a reduced penetration depth of radio waves: the bulk of the energy in this case is absorbed only by the skin.
How to choose the right device
In addition to RF lifting, the devices have additional functions that complement and enhance their effect.
These are the procedures:
- myostimulation - treatment of facial muscles with weak electrical impulses;
- microcurrents - weak currents with certain characteristics restore the physiological processes of the skin and subcutaneous layers;
- iontophoresis - supplying rejuvenating serum deep into the skin;
- disincrustation - influencing the secretion of the sebaceous glands by turning it into soap and high-quality cleansing of pores from grease and impurities;
- vibration massage - massage of the skin with micro-vibrations in order to tonify and strengthen skin cells;
- chromotherapy - exposure of the skin to visible light radiation to accelerate rejuvenation or soothe skin cells;
- skin cooling with built-in systems that reduce skin sensitivity.
The RF lifting device is selected based on its parameters. This:
- scope of application of the device - universal or for specific procedures;
- the presence of additional functions - not only lifting, but also entire skin care programs;
- availability of adjustments and intensity levels;
- speed of the procedure - the less time, the more intensive the processing and the faster the result;
- radiation frequency;
- design and user convenience during procedures;
- manufacturer's warranties;
- price.
Knowing the parameters, you can choose what is right for you, focusing on the ratio of all parameters.
