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 this method lies in the influence of radio frequencies on the skin and subcutaneous layers, as a result of which all layers of the epidermis are heated.This manipulation causes an increase in the density of collagen fibers, so the skin becomes firm and wrinkles are smoothed.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and has recently been adopted by cosmetic experts.Due to its effectiveness, low-injury nature, absence of serious preparatory and rehabilitation stages, it is amenable to carrying out independently.
How to choose a device for lifting a house?
To perform RF lifting at home, it is not necessary to use heavy-duty systems with many functions and operating modes intended for professional beauty salons.
Simply buy a portable device that:
- has the necessary power to warm the treated area (for the neck and décolleté, a small power is enough, for the stomach, thighs, buttocks, a stronger power is enough to break down orange peel cellulite);
- smoothly adjust optimal modes for different zones;
- assembled by a trusted manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- have guaranteed service.
Devices for household purposes used for lifting can cause unpleasant sensations for those with sensitive skin due to the inability to regulate the depth of heating.Usually, this problem is solved with the help of cooling gels.
The most popular devices - the choice of cosmetologists
Fans of RF lifting technology who appreciate the effectiveness of this technique can easily proceed with procedures to improve their appearance without leaving home.The main thing is to understand the variety of devices offered for lifting manipulation by production companies working for the beauty industry.
Currently, there are monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models on sale, the effectiveness of which does not differ much from each other, with the exception of unipolar models - they are able to heat the deep layers of the dermis, providing stronger results.However, this power also carries the danger of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas, and consequently triggering adverse reactions in the body to radio frequency pulses.
Higher polarity allows a more targeted and localized effect on a specific area, thus ensuring safety for the body.But multipolar devices for RF lifting at home are a real luxury, because the price of such devices is very high.
There are models of mobile devices that are popular both among specialists and among those who decide to set up a beauty salon at home.
How to do this procedure at home - step by step method?
Home lifting requires special rules for the procedure, on which the results largely depend.The skin rejuvenation device should be installed in such a way that it is convenient to treat the dermis area.
Important!During lifting, you will feel intense heat, but not aggressive to the point of severe pain.The presence of pain and redness indicates that the device power is not selected correctly!
If you follow the step-by-step method of cosmetic manipulation at home, RF lifting will not only meet your expectations, but will also exceed them.
Preparation
RF can only be performed after preparation which includes:
- removal of decorative cosmetics;
- cleanse the skin with a scrub;
- rinse the dermis with clean cool water.
After that, a special composition is applied to the treated surface area, which creates a contact medium and helps to strengthen the impulse.
Carry out
If necessary, an anesthetic gel is applied to the prepared skin area.Then the device is turned on, and active electrodes are 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 take an average of 10-30 minutes.
Important!During the procedure, it is necessary to concentrate on the thermal sensors that monitor the temperature of the dermis, thereby avoiding burns and overheating.
At the end of the procedure, the face should be wiped 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 and nourishing mask with a lifting effect to enhance the result.
Frequency
It is recommended to carry out sessions no more than once a week in several procedures.In between RF lifts, it is a good idea to carry out dermis rehabilitation, which includes:
- use of special creams;
- use of nourishing masks;
- treatment with restorative serum and foam.
A cosmetologist can provide reliable information about the duration and intensity of the course after a personal examination.
