To preserve the beauty and youth of the face, it is not necessary to lie down under a plastic surgeon's scalpel. Thanks to technological progress and the active development of the cosmetic industry, it is possible to improve the appearance and maintain the freshness of the skin with the help of hardware lifting techniques. The correct selection and combination of procedures will help you look 10-15 years younger, which is why cosmetic clinics are in constant demand for such services. But before deciding on hardware rejuvenation, you need to familiarize yourself with their main types, their characteristics, and also discuss with a specialist the presence of contraindications. Such an approach will allow you to individually select a set of procedures that will be tailored to a specific patient and tailored to him in all parameters.
What is hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation?
Hardware cosmetology combines rejuvenating and revitalizing manipulations, which are carried out with special equipment. The advantages of this technique include:
- high efficiency;
- impact not only on the superficial layers of the skin, but also on deep structures, the subcutaneous tissue;
- total absence or low degree of pain during the session;
- almost instantaneous manifestation of positive changes;
- versatility: hardware cosmetology can solve many problems with the skin of the face or body;
- without the need for long-term recovery (such as after surgery).
The main disadvantages are side effects (most of the time mild: peeling, swelling, redness), as well as the need for a short rehabilitation period or adherence to certain rules. In addition, there is a high risk of contacting not a professional doctor, but an amateur, whose manipulations can lead to complications.
Principle of operation, result
Hardware cosmetology is based on the ability to penetrate microcurrents, laser beams, light waves, ultrasonic or radio deep into the skin, followed by the stimulation of hidden reserves and the activation of regenerative properties. The result of this effect is the lifting of the contours of the face, smoothing its relief, leveling the tone, eliminating expression or age lines, folds, bags under the eyes.The action of the devices is also directed at the capillary walls and improves microcirculatory processes, allowing you to eliminate dark circles under the eyes, eliminate signs of hyperpigmentation.
To enhance the effect, prolong its durability, it is recommended to combine traditional cosmetology techniques with hardware methods.
Readings
A cosmetologist may recommend hardware lifting techniques when:
- decreased tone, dullness, discoloration of the skin;
- the appearance of fine wrinkles;
- uneven skin relief;
- aggravation of the severity of existing wrinkles or mimic folds, vertical furrows;
- bruising or bags under the eyes;
- wings;
- second chin;
- enlarged pores, acne, post-acne;
- cuperose;
- freckles or age-related hyperpigmentation;
- presence of scars, scars, stretch marks.
The main objective of the lifting with hardware is the regeneration of the skin, giving it freshness and elasticity. Therefore, from the age of 25, preventive procedures can be performed that will maintain the normal state of the skin.
With all its effectiveness, the active influence of hardware devices has a number of contraindications, including pregnancy with lactation, serious neurological or mental disorders, the presence of chronic pathologies, autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, infectious or oncological processes, the presence of foreign bodies in the body.
The most effective hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation
Today there are many types of hardware cosmetic procedures and their variations. Below is a list of the most effective and safest, according to experts.
RF-lifting
The most popular procedure, during which skin structures are exposed to powerful pulses of radio waves emitted by a special device.As a result, the metabolism activation process begins, fat cells are destroyed, fibroblasts, "youth cells", which are responsible for the production of collagen, are stimulated.
Because the design of the device allows the intensity of the radio emission to be adjusted, the technique can be applied to different areas of the face, as well as the décolleté, neck, and chest. In most cases, to achieve the desired appearance, patients need 5 to 8 sessions, the frequency of which is set individually.
The main advantage of the fractional RF lift is the complete absence of a rehabilitation period, minor side effects in the form of dry skin. The main disadvantage is a slight effect after 45 years. Although, if you combine this technique with biorevitalization, the performance of radio wave sessions is justified even at 60.
Microcurrent Hardware Facelift
During the rejuvenation session, the device targets problem areas with weak pulses of low-frequency current. This stimulates the natural potential of old or weakened cells of the superficial and deep layers, activates their regeneration, simultaneously influencing the vessels of the face and muscle structures. The duration of the procedure is 20-30 minutes, during which the beautician gently moves a special applicator along the massage lines, in the direction from the center of the face to its periphery. At the same time, patients do not experience much discomfort, except perhaps a slight tingling sensation in especially sensitive areas.
The most positive feature of the microcurrent lift is the instant lift. But this does not mean that one procedure is sufficient for rejuvenation: the effect after the first sessions lasts only a couple of days.Only a physiotherapy course consisting of 7-10 procedures can provide a long-term result.
Cryotherapy
A method of rejuvenation by exposure to low temperatures on the skin's surface. In this case, a natural reaction of the skin arises, which consists of a sharp narrowing and subsequent expansion of blood vessels, as a result of which blood circulation, oxygen supply and increased metabolic processes are activated.
Cold treatment has been practiced since ancient times: Galen and Hippocrates recommended taking ice baths to cure many diseases.
With the help of cryotherapy, you can not only improve skin tone and elasticity, remove wrinkles on the face, neck or décolleté, but also remove blemishes such as:
- excessive oily skin;
- acne, post-acne;
- acne;
- age spots;
- warts;
- scars.
In most beauty salons, the procedure is performed with a cryogenic spray, which cools the skin to -180 ° C. However, the use of cryo electrophoresis, the subcutaneous injection of frozen preparations under the influence ofa pulsating current, it is considered more modern and effective. To get the full effect, 9 to 12 sessions will be needed.In addition to the typical contraindications for hardware cosmetology, criolift should not be performed in patients with hypersensitivity to cold.
Photorejuvenation
Soft-action hardware technique, does not lead to trauma and the appearance of traces of interference. The procedure consists of treating problem areas with a special applicator that emits powerful flashes of light. Penetrating deep enough (up to 3 cm), they promote gentle heating of deep structures and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen fibers. After a course in fotolifting, you can see the following positive changes:
- face tone alignment;
- narrowing of the pores;
- contour adjustment;
- elimination or reduction of the depth of wrinkles, folds;
- reduction of the manifestations of rosacea.
The disadvantages of the technique include the lack of an immediate result: the first manifestations of the effect are noticeable only after 1, 5 months, low efficiency after 55 years, a rather high price and seasonality (it is not desirable to carryout a light exposure in the summer).
Laser resurfacing
A technique based on simultaneous action on deep and superficial layers. The high-temperature laser beam corrects surface defects and, penetrating deeply, stimulates internal self-healing, synthesis of useful components, leading to natural renewal and rejuvenation of the skin's surface. Despite its low invasiveness, the procedure is considered difficult and is carried out in a stationary environment, and it also requires a short period of rehabilitation.
LPG massage
An effective method to combat the first signs of aging, superficial wrinkles. The success of LPG massage lies in the simultaneous operation of special rollers and vacuum, which allows it to act on the subcutaneous fat, to stimulate the production of collagen. In addition, the procedure is good because it does not require rehabilitation and is almost never accompanied by side effects. Also, this massage is expensive and the full course consists of 10-15 procedures.
ELOS-rejuvenation
Technology, during the implementation of which a complex of optical and laser energies is used. During the Elos rejuvenation session, the subcutaneous layers are heated to a high temperature, which stimulates the synthesis of fibers responsible for the health and youth of the skin. This allows you to solve the problem of pigmentation, rosacea, smooth the relief of the skin, correct wrinkles of various severity.
Ultrasonic Survey
A technique that involves the action of a wave-shaped acoustic pulse on superficial and deep subcutaneous structures under constant ultrasound control on a monitor. At the same time, the integrity of the skin is not damaged, no further rehabilitation or special treatment of the face is required. The method is widely used for laxity, droopy eyelids, double chin, lapels, deep wrinkles or furrows. The downside is the need for pain relief before the session.
Which devices are used: a list of the best
In order for the lift to be as effective as possible, before performing it, it is advisable to ask the specialist in which device the procedure will be performed. To date, recognized as the best:
First device to receive elevation certification from the US FDA Before the advent of this device, such a deep procedure could only be carried out surgically, as the device's action is not directed at the skinitself, but to the muscular-aponeurotic layer. In this case, constant visualization and monitoring of the status of the subcutaneous structures is carried out.
High efficiency focused ultrasound device with a high degree of control through deep scanning of dermal structures. It allows to solve the problem promptly, without affecting the areas without problems.

Unfortunately, such devices cannot correct serious defects due to their low power, which is provided for the safety of consumers. For preventive and general health purposes, it is best to use time-tested models.
