Today, radio-frequency lifting is very popular among those who want to rejuvenate the skin and get rid of defects. This technique has several important advantages and provides a truly lasting effect.
What is radio frequency lifting?
Today it is a fairly new procedure, which, however, is in great demand. The essence of the technique is quite simple. The skin is exposed to radio frequency radiation, which has an endothermic effect. As a result of this effect, metabolism and tissue regeneration processes are activated. In addition, the blood supply to the skin is significantly improved, as a result of which the cells receive more oxygen and nutrients. But the main effect of this lifting is the stimulation of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are specific cells that produce collagen. Thus, this procedure allows you to return the skin elasticity and firmness, eliminate wrinkles, give the face a radiant look.
RF lifting and its advantages
To begin with, it is worth noting that this procedure is completely non-invasive, therefore it is an excellent alternative to a plastic surgeon's knife. Since there is no contact with the patient’s blood, the likelihood of infection is almost zero. The advantages can also be attributed to the lack of a rehabilitation period - the patient can almost immediately return to the usual way of life.
Radio frequency lifting is distinguished by a very large age range - it is used to treat both young girls under the age of 20 years, and mature women. This procedure allows you to improve the condition and appearance of the skin, eliminate traces of fatigue and hide the first signs of aging.
In addition, in one procedure you can perform, say, lifting eyebrows, tightening the skin of the abdomen and eliminating cellulite on the hips. After all, the processing area is not limited by anything. No special preparation is needed either - you just need to come to the reception with pre-cleansed skin.
But it is worthwhile to understand that before starting treatment, the doctor should conduct a thorough examination, get acquainted with the patient’s medical record and, if necessary, prescribe additional studies.
RF lifting: indications for use
As already mentioned, this procedure is mainly used to rejuvenate the skin, eliminate facial and large age wrinkles. In addition, it is used to eliminate the second chin. Radiolifting perfectly copes with problems such as stretch marks (including postpartum), as well as cellulite deposits. With it, you can adjust the contour of the face and body.
As a rule, the course of treatment includes from 8 to 10 procedures, after each of which a five-day break is required. Unfortunately, the lifting effect is not eternal - over time, the skin returns to its original state. That is why single repeat procedures are recommended as prophylaxis.
Radio frequency lifting and its contraindications
Like any other wellness and cosmetic procedure, radiolifting has a number of contraindications. For example, such procedures are not performed during pregnancy. In addition, lifting can not be done during an acute viral infection. Contraindications can also include severe forms of hypertension, scleroderma, lupus erythematosus and the presence of malignant tumors. Impulses are not permitted in areas where silicone implants are contained under the skin.
