To use an RF lifting device at home, as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, you must have an understanding of the device's capabilities and the mechanism of action of its active elements on the skin.
The essence of the method lies in the effect of radio frequencies on the skin and the subcutaneous layer, as a result of which all layers of the epidermis are heated.These manipulations lead to an increase in the density of collagen fibers, due to which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was adopted by cosmetologists not so long ago.Due to its effectiveness, low nature of damage, absence of a preparatory stage and serious rehabilitation, it has become acceptable for independent implementation.
How to choose a device for home lifting?
To perform RF lifting at home, it is not necessary to use a powerful system with a large number of functions and operating modes intended for professional beauty salons.
It is enough to buy a portable device that:
- has the necessary force to heat up the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté a small force is enough, for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks a stronger force is enough to break up the cellulite orange skin);
- smoothly adjusts optimal conditions for different zones;
- assembled by a trusted manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- has guaranteed service.
Home-use devices used for lifting can cause uncomfortable sensations for those with sensitive skin due to the inability to regulate the depth of heat.As a rule, this problem is solved with the help of a cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of beauticians
Fans of RF lifting technology who appreciate the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue procedures to improve their appearance without leaving home.The most important thing is to understand the wide variety of devices offered for lifting manipulations by manufacturing companies working for the beauty industry.
Today, there are monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models on sale, which do not differ much in efficiency from each other, with the exception of unipolar - they are able to heat the deeper layers of the dermis, which gives a stronger result.However, this power also contains the danger of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas and, as a result, provoking unwanted reactions of the body to radiofrequency pulses.
Higher polarity allows for a more targeted, localized effect on strictly defined areas, guaranteeing safety for the body.But a multipolar device for RF lifting at home is a real luxury, since the prices of such devices are simply sky-high.
There are models of mobile devices that are popular both among specialists and among those who decided to create a beauty salon at home.
