Only 20-30 years ago, the only reliable way to combat age-related changes was surgical plastic surgery of the face. Then came the time of fillers and Botox. All these techniques, despite some advantages, have disadvantages. Fortunately, new ways of prolonging youth are constantly being discovered. The skin can be firm, fresh and healthy even without injections. This has been successfully proven by hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation. Reviews of numerous patients confirm this fact.
Hardware cosmetology
A new step in the development of cosmetology is hardware techniques. They allow you to quickly and painlessly eliminate many appearance defects and significantly rejuvenate the skin. All procedures are performed using special devices. And the desired result is achieved due to the effects of ultrasound, cold, vibration, vacuum or electric waves.
Hardware procedures are becoming more and more popular every year. Patients who have managed to try these unique techniques share their impressions on the Web and leave positive feedback. Hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation is able to cope with pigmentation, wrinkles, enlarged pores and acne marks. In addition, she can tighten her skin, tighten the oval, increase the production of collagen and adjust herd. We can say that the indication for the procedure is the patient’s desire to maintain youth, as well as improve skin condition.
Methods of hardware rejuvenation can be divided into two types:
- Ablative. The integrity of the skin during the procedure is violated.
- Non-ablative. The integrity of the skin is not broken.
A dermatologist should choose the most suitable method of hardware rejuvenation. The result largely depends on the qualifications of the specialist, as well as on the quality of the equipment.
Choose a clinic or salon you need to carefully. It is recommended to focus on the reviews and recommendations of friends who have seen on themselves a positive result from the use of hardware cosmetology. The equipment must have all the necessary licenses and certificates.
For procedures in clinics and salons, the following devices are used:
- Phonophoresis.
- The device for microdermabrasion.
- RF lifting.
- Ultrasonic scrubber.
- Derma Pen.
- The apparatus of galvanotherapy.
- Darsonval.
- Apparatus for microcurrent therapy.
- Mesoinjectors.
Often in salons use special cosmetology combines. Just one such device can perform about 20 different procedures.
Age of patients
The term "hardware rejuvenation" does not mean at all that the procedures solve the problems of exclusively mature skin. It all depends on the state of the epidermis. Even teenagers can eliminate pigmentation, cleanse and narrow pores with the help of cosmetic devices. And the first anti-aging procedures, if there are indications, must be carried out at 25 years old. They are mainly aimed at moisturizing and restoring the skin.
After 35 years, wilting processes begin to proceed faster. At this age, the skin is called mature. Now more aggressive hardware cosmetology techniques are needed to rejuvenate the face. Feedback from cosmetologists suggests that the best result is shown by RF lifting, fractional laser, and microcurrent therapy.
Fractional rejuvenation
Slow skin aging is able to fractional laser. During the procedure, it acts on the skin in a dosed manner. Thanks to a special nozzle, one laser beam is divided into many small ones. This provides a fractional (as if through a sieve) effect on the epidermis.
Laser beams leave microdamages on the skin. This stimulates epidermal cells to produce collagen and elastin. It is these two materials that provide skin turgor.
The fractional laser provides excellent lifting. This is confirmed by numerous reviews. Laser facial rejuvenation procedure eliminates atonic sagging, sagging oval, wrinkles, vascular network, stretch marks and scars. In addition, it tightens pores and removes pigmentation.
Radio Wave Oval Correction
In recent years, a procedure called RF face lifting is gaining more and more popularity. What is it - interesting to many women who are looking for effective ways to combat aging. RF lifting is a method of radiofrequency lifting 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 warm up to a temperature of 43 degrees. Under the action of heat, the tissues contract and the fibers contract. This improves skin tone and provides a lifting effect.
Elevated temperature and electric field stimulate cells to produce more elastin and collagen. Thanks to the new fibers, a framework is formed that is characteristic of the young dermis.
Radio wave lifting provides an instant effect of face and neck tightening , eliminates wrinkles and sagging, restores elasticity. The result obtained is maintained for three years. In addition, the formation of new wrinkles is significantly slowed down.
Ultrasonic lifting
Ultrasound operates on the same principle as radio waves in a procedure such as RF face lifting. What it is is described above. The main difference is the depth of exposure. Ultrasound is able to get to where radio waves do not fall. It acts on the deepest layers of the skin.
It is impossible to say exactly which of the methods is more effective. Ultrasound lifting is suitable for one patient. The skin of others responds better to radio waves. Therefore, the decision on the method of rejuvenation should be made by the doctor.
Ultrasonic stimulation heats the inner layers of the skin. Due to this, the metabolism in tissues is accelerated, toxins are excreted, collagen is produced. And also increases the microcirculation of blood.
Microcurrent therapy
The benefits of exposure to the body of a weak pulsed current have long been known. This method is successfully used by physiotherapists to relieve pain in urolithiasis, cholecystitis and other pathologies. Modern cosmetologists also use microcurrent effects to improve skin condition. The popularity of this method is constantly growing.
The procedure of microcurrent therapy of the face is recommended for easy modeling of the oval and maintaining muscle tone. She is completely painless. The patient may feel a slight tingling sensation while the beautician holds a special nozzle along the massage lines of the face.
Electrical impulses enhance cell regeneration, the synthesis of collagen proteins and hyaluronic acid. They remove metabolic products and toxins, improve blood circulation. They also tone the skin.
The face after the procedure is noticeably younger. The result is stored for six months. Much depends on the initial condition and characteristics of the patient's skin.
Non-injection mesotherapy
You can rejuvenate the skin without injections. Doctors found the opportunity to deliver nutrients and moisturizers to the deeper layers of the dermis in a non-invasive way. This procedure is called non-injection mesotherapy. This is another effective hardware technique for facial rejuvenation.
The procedure allows you to cope with the following problems:
- Flabby and dry skin.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Wrinkles.
- Sallow complexion.
- Loss of elasticity.
- Rosacea
- Swelling.
- Enlarged pores.
In order to deliver anti-aging cocktail substances deep into the skin, it is necessary to increase the permeability of epidermal cells. This can be done using weak electrical pulses or an infrared laser. The result is noticeable after the first procedure. It persists for eight to ten months.
Cryolifting
Dosed tissue cooling allows you to solve many problems that arise due to skin aging processes. This effective method was adopted by professionals in aesthetic medicine. Hardware cryotherapy of the face eliminates edema, wrinkles, age spots and scars. In addition, the oval is restored and skin color improves.
For the procedure, liquid nitrogen is used. Its temperature reaches minus 195 degrees. The substance for cryomassage of the face is fed through a special tube-reservoir with various nozzles. The duration of the procedure does not exceed 10 minutes.
Photorejuvenation
High intensity pulsed light for facial rejuvenation has been used relatively recently. Initially, it was used for photoepilation. Over time, cosmetologists noticed that in places exposed to pulsed light, an improvement in the condition of the skin is observed: pigment spots disappear, spider veins become less noticeable. In addition, wrinkles are smoothed out. Immediately after this, a facial rejuvenation technique was developed.
Phototherapy provides dosed heating of the dermis. She acts on her papillary layer. This increases the intensity of such biochemical processes in the skin as neocollagenogenesis.
Phototherapy is one of the most effective hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation. After only a few sessions, the deepest wrinkles are smoothed out, an oval is outlined, and the bruises are tightened. The course consists of four to eight procedures. The result after photorejuvenation is stored for six months.
Ultrasonic face liposuction
Due to excess weight, they burst and a second chin can appear even in young girls. In addition, nasolabial creases become more noticeable. All this deforms the lower part of the face. And also visually adds a few extra years.
Return to the face of the original features allows the removal of body fat. This can be done using ultrasonic liposuction. It destroys only fat cells, and does not affect other tissues.
During the procedure, the doctor makes several thin punctures. There are no scars or scars. Five days later, swelling 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 a fuzzy oval, as well as a double chin. In addition, the procedure stimulates the formation of collagen fibers, which are responsible for skin elasticity.
