Along with wrinkles and fine lines, advancing age, and let's face it, "aging" is associated in many people's minds with sagging skin and sagging contours. Loss of contour definition can occur almost anywhere on the body, but the most common areas are the face, neck, abdomen and arms.

Loose skin is caused by several factors, including thinning of the epidermis (skin surface) and loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin.

Here we will tell you how with the help of radio frequency you can strengthen your skin, even as age inevitably progresses. So, get ready to turn the clock back!

 

What is radiofrequency lifting?

Radiofrequency skin tightening, or radiofrequency lifting, is an aesthetic technique that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to warm the skin to stimulate the production of skin collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to reduce the appearance of those annoying fine wrinkles and sagging leather. The technique causes tissue remodeling and the production of new collagen and elastin. This is actually an alternative to surgical facelift and other cosmetic invasive procedures, which are associated with many risks and significant inconveniences during the recovery period.

 


The mechanism of operation of radiofrequency lifting can be explained by the following phases:

1. Radio frequency converts vibrations into heat

2. Electromagnetic waves cause oscillations of water molecules, this oscillation converts electromagnetic energy into heat energy

3. Heat causes collagen regeneration, strengthens blood circulation, tightens the skin, increases local metabolism and improves blood and lymph circulation

Another benefit of RF procedures is that by regulating the temperature during treatment, heat energy reduces fat and cellulite.

Currently, RF devices are most commonly used for non-invasive therapy and treatment to tighten sagging skin (face and face, neck, abdomen, thighs, hips, arms and other parts of the body), as well as to reduce wrinkles, removing cellulite and contouring the body. The good news is that combined devices are now available that combine radiofrequency RF lifting with needleless mesotherapy and LED function for complex revitalization and skin rejuvenation.

 

Radio frequency is preferred both because it has proven to be a powerful means of rejuvenation, as it accelerates the synthesis of new collagen, enhances metabolism and improves blood circulation, and because of the ability to use RF lifting devices at home. And as we all know, perseverance and home care is a mandatory and absolutely necessary condition for success.

 

Is the procedure with radio frequency at home safe?

Radio frequency is a safe and clinically effective technology for use at home. Always follow the instructions for use as well as the recommended schedule for the time intervals of the procedures to make sure that you will achieve visible results in a short period of time.

 

How do home radio frequency rejuvenation devices work?

Home appliances work in the same way as those designed for use in aesthetic clinics, stimulating collagen production. With regular use they will lift and tighten the skin.

If you have undergone radiofrequency therapy in a salon or clinic, you will feel that with devices for home use, these procedures are not as heat-intensive and the feeling of warmth is less. The aim is to avoid unpleasant sensations and redness on the skin, which can cause discomfort and pain. The method is the same as used by professionals - just slide the device along the contours of the face and body without holding too long on the same area of ​​skin.

 

How often should you use a radiofrequency therapy device at home?

Home devices are not as powerful as devices in clinics, and will require more frequent use to achieve results. Most stationary radio frequency devices for professional use schedule procedures once a week, while with a home device you may need to start procedures twice a week for the first month.

 

A few additional tips:

  • When using the appliances at home, you can use a contact gel or serum that will allow the device to move smoothly in the treatment area (without awkward pulling) and act as a conductive medium for the waves, allowing them to pass through the skin layers.
  • It is necessary to clean the face in advance, for better absorption of cosmetics, in different layers of the skin.

 

  • After the procedure, apply a moisturizing product that will soothe the skin and give you extra freshness and softness.
