Just 20-30 years ago, the only reliable way to address age-related changes was surgical facial plastic surgery. Then came the time of fillers and Botox. All of these techniques, despite some advantages, have drawbacks. Fortunately, new ways of prolonging youth are constantly being discovered. Skin can be firm, fresh and healthy even without injections. This has been successfully proven by hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation. Examinations of numerous patients confirm this fact.
Hardware cosmetology
Hardware techniques have become a new step in the development of cosmetology. They allow you to quickly and painlessly remove many imperfections in appearance and significantly rejuvenate the skin. All procedures are performed using special devices. And the desired result is achieved by exposure to ultrasound, cold, vibration, vacuum or electric waves.
Hardware procedures are becoming more popular every year. Patients who have tried these unique techniques share their impressions on the Internet and leave positive reviews. Hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation is able to deal with pigmentation, wrinkles, enlarged pores and acne. In addition, it is able to tighten the skin, tighten the oval, increase collagen production and correct passages. We can say that the indication for the procedure is the patient's desire to maintain youth, as well as improve the condition of the skin.
Hardware rejuvenation methods can be divided into two types:
- Ablative. Skin integrity is compromised during the procedure.
- Non-ablative. The integrity of the skin is not compromised.
A dermatologist should choose the most appropriate method of hardware rejuvenation. The result largely depends on the qualifications of the experts, as well as on the quality of the equipment.
Choose your clinic or salon carefully. It is recommended to focus on the critiques and recommendations of friends who have seen a positive result from the use of hardware cosmetology. The equipment must have all the necessary licenses and certificates.
The following devices are used for procedures in clinics and salons:
- Phonophoresis.
- Microdermabrasion device.
- RF boot.
- Ultrasonic peeling.
- Derma-Pen.
- Electroplating devices.
- Darsonval.
- Microcurrent therapy device.
- Meso injectors.
Salons often use special cosmetic combinations. Just one such device can perform about 20 different procedures.
Patient age
The term "hardware rejuvenation" does not mean that the procedures solve the problems of exclusively mature skin. It all depends on the condition of the epidermis. Even teenagers can remove pigmentation, clean and narrow pores with the help of cosmetic devices. And the first anti-aging procedures, if there are indications, should be carried out at the age of 25. They are mainly aimed at moisturizing and regenerating the skin.
After 35 years, wilting processes begin to flow faster. At this age, the skin is called mature. Now, more aggressive methods of hardware cosmetology are needed to rejuvenate the face. Cosmetologist reviews suggest that RF lifting, fractional laser and microcurrent therapy show the best results.
Fractional rejuvenation
Fractional laser can slow down skin aging. During the procedure, it acts on the skin in doses. Thanks to a special extension, one laser beam is divided into many small ones. This provides a fractional (as through a sieve) effect on the epidermis.
Laser beams leave micro damage to the skin. It stimulates epidermal cells to produce collagen and elastin. These two materials provide turgor to the skin.
The fractional laser provides excellent lifting. This is confirmed by numerous reviews. The laser facial rejuvenation procedure removes atonic sagging, oval relaxation, wrinkles, vascular network, stretch marks and scars. In addition, it narrows pores and removes pigmentation.
Oval radio wave correction
In recent years a procedure called RF facelift is gaining in popularity. What is interesting is that many women are looking for effective ways to fight aging. RF lifting is a method of radio frequency tightening and skin rejuvenation. The method appeared in cosmetology about 15 years ago.
As a result of exposure to radio waves, the deep layers of the epidermis heat up to a temperature of 43 degrees. Under the influence of heat, the tissues shrink and the fibers shrink. This improves skin tone and provides a lifting effect.
Increased temperature and electric field stimulate cells to produce more elastin and collagen. Thanks to the new fibers, a frame is formed which is characteristic of the young dermis.
Lifting with radio waves provides an instant face and neck lifting effect, removes wrinkles and sagging, restores elasticity. The obtained result is maintained for three years. In addition, the formation of new wrinkles is significantly slowed down.
Ultrasonic lifting
Ultrasound works on the same principle as radio waves in a procedure such as RF face-lift. What it is, is described above. The main difference is the depth of impact. Ultrasound can penetrate where radio waves do not strike. It affects the deepest layers of the skin.
It is impossible to say with certainty which method is more efficient. Ultrasound lifting is suitable for some patients. The skin of others responds better to radio waves. Therefore, the doctor should decide on the method of rejuvenation.
Ultrasonic stimulation warms the inner layers of the skin. Thanks to that, the metabolism in the tissues is accelerated, toxins are removed and collagen is produced. And the microcirculation of blood also increases.
Microcurrent therapy
The benefits of a weak pulse current on the body have been known for a long time. Physiotherapists have successfully used this method to relieve pain in urolithiasis, cholecystitis and other pathologies. Modern cosmetologists also use microcurrent effects to improve the condition of the skin. The popularity of this method is constantly growing.
Microcurrent facial therapy is recommended for light oval modeling and maintenance of muscle tone. It is completely painless. The patient may feel a slight tingling sensation as the beautician runs a special nozzle along the facial massage lines.
Electrical impulses enhance cell regeneration, collagen and protein synthesis of hyaluronic acid. They remove metabolic products and toxins, improve blood circulation. They also tone the skin.
After the procedure, the face is visibly younger. The result lasts six months. Much depends on the initial condition and characteristics of the patient's skin.
Mesotherapy without injections
You can rejuvenate your skin without injections. Doctors have found an opportunity to inject nutrients and moisturizers into the deep layers of the dermis in a non-invasive way. This procedure is called mesotherapy without injections. This is another effective hardware technique for facial rejuvenation.
The procedure solves the following problems:
- Relaxed and dry skin.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Bore.
- Earthy complexion.
- Loss of elasticity.
- Couperose.
- Puffiness.
- Enlarged pores.
In order for the substances of the rejuvenating cocktail to be delivered deep into the skin, it is necessary to increase the permeability of the epidermal cells. This can be done with weak electrical pulses or an infrared laser. The result is noticeable after the first procedure. It lasts eight to ten months.
Cryolifting
Dosed tissue cooling allows you to solve many problems that occur due to the aging process of the skin. This effective method has been adopted by professionals in aesthetic medicine. Hardware cryotherapy of the face allows you to remove edema, wrinkles, age spots and scars. In addition, the oval renews and improves skin color.
Liquid nitrogen is used for the procedure. Its temperature reaches minus 195 degrees. The substance for facial cryomassage is delivered through a special tube-tank with different extensions. The duration of the procedure does not exceed 10 minutes.
Photorejuvenation
High intensity pulsed light for facial rejuvenation is relatively new. It was originally used for photoepilation. Over time, cosmetologists have noticed that in places exposed to impulse light, the condition of the skin improves: pigment spots disappear, spider veins become less noticeable. In addition, wrinkles are evened out. Immediately after that, a facial rejuvenation technique was developed.
Phototherapy provides dosed warming of the dermis. It acts on its papillary layer. This increases the intensity of such biochemical processes in the skin as neocholalagenogenesis.
Phototherapy is one of the most effective hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation. After only a few sessions, the deepest wrinkles are smoothed, an oval is outlined, flies are tightened. The course consists of four to eight procedures. The result after photorejuvenation lasts six months.
Ultrasonic facial liposuction
Due to being overweight, flying and double chins can occur even in young girls. In addition, nasolabial folds become more noticeable. All this deforms the lower part of the face. It also visually adds a few extra years.
Fat removal allows the face to return to its original features. This can be done by ultrasonic liposuction. It only destroys fat cells and does not affect other tissues.
During the procedure, the doctor makes several thin stitches. No scars and scars. Within five days, the edema completely subsides.
Ultrasonic liposuction is one of the best hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation, as it allows you to solve the problem of sagging cheeks and fuzzy ovals, as well as double chins. In addition, the procedure stimulates the formation of collagen fibers that are responsible for skin elasticity.
Hardware cosmetology at home
A modern woman is able to take care of her own skin and prevent it from fading. Home hardware cosmetics for her face help her with that. Many procedures can be performed without the help of a dermatologist. For quality care, you only need to choose the right cosmetic device.
For home use you can buy:
- Microcurrent stimulation devices.
- Vacuum pore cleanser.
- Ultrasonic device that can handle wrinkles.
- Radio frequency wave device that improves the condition of the oval part.
- Laser device.
- Light, ozone and ion therapy devices.
Using home cosmetics does not require any special skills. Everything you need to know is described in detail in the instructions. We must not forget about the contraindications.
Contraindications for hardware cosmetology
The main thing that aesthetic medicine cares about is safety. Patients who choose hardware cosmetology may not be afraid of anesthesia and a long period of rehabilitation. Such procedures reduce the risk of side effects and medical errors. This is confirmed by the critics.
Hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation should not be used only in some cases. Contraindications include:
