In order to use the HF lifting device at home as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, it is necessary to have an idea of the device's capabilities and how its active elements work on the skin.
The essence of the method lies in the effect of radio frequencies on the skin and the subcutaneous layer, which heats all layers of the epidermis. These manipulations lead to an increase in the density of the collagen fibers, as a result of which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed.
The process itself is considered to be quite innovative and was adopted by beauticians not so long ago. Because of its effectiveness, low trauma, lack of a preparatory phase, and serious rehabilitation, it became acceptable for independent behavior.
How to choose a device for lifting at home
For HF lifting at home, there is no need to use a powerful system with a wide variety of functions and modes of operation intended for professional beauty salons.
It is enough to buy a portable device that:
- has the necessary strength to warm up the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté a little strength is enough for the abdomen, thighs and buttocks to break the cellulite orange peel - stronger);
- adapts the optimal modes for different zones smoothly.
- compiled by a trustworthy manufacturer;
- is harmless to health;
- has a guaranteed service.
Devices for home use that are used for lifting can cause uncomfortable sensations in owners of sensitive skin because the heating depth cannot be regulated. Typically this problem is solved with a cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of beauticians
Fans of RF lifting technology who have appreciated the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue the procedures for improving its appearance without leaving home. The main thing is to understand the wide variety of devices that are offered by manufacturers working for the beauty industry for lifting manipulations.
Nowadays there are monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models on offer that hardly differ in their efficiency, with the exception of unipolar ones - they can heat the deeper layers of the dermis and thus achieve a stronger result. With this force, however, there is also the risk of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas and thus the consequence of side reactions of the body to high-frequency pulses.
The high polarity enables a more local effect on precisely defined areas and guarantees the safety of the body. However, having a multi-polar RF lifter at home is a real luxury as the prices for such devices are simply exorbitant.
There are models of mobile devices that are popular with both professionals and those who have decided to set up a beauty salon at home.
How is the procedure performed at home - a step-by-step method?
Lifting at home requires special procedural rules on which the result largely depends. The skin rejuvenation device must be installed so that you can comfortably treat the dermis area.
Important!During the lift, you should feel intense but not aggressive heat on the edge of severe pain. The presence of pain and redness indicates an incorrectly selected performance of the device!
If you follow the step-by-step method of cosmetic manipulation at home, RF lifting will not only meet expectations, but also exceed them.
Preparation
RF can only be done after preparation, including:
- Removal of decorative cosmetics;
- Cleansing the skin with a peeling;
- Rinse the dermis with clean cold water.
Then a special composition is applied to the area of the treated surface, which creates a contact medium and amplifies the impulses.
Execute
If necessary, an anesthetic gel is applied to the prepared skin areas. Then the device is switched 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 take an average of 10 to 30 minutes.
Important!During the procedure, one needs to focus on heat sensors that monitor the temperature of the dermis to avoid burns and overheating.
At the end of the procedure, the face must be cleaned of the gel with a paper towel and an applied care cream.
After a few hours, you can wash your face with cold water and apply a moisturizing, nourishing mask with a lifting effect to improve the result.
Frequency
