To use an RF lifting device at home, as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, you need to have an idea of the capabilities of the device and the mechanism of action of its active elements on the skin.
The essence of the method consists in the effect of radio frequencies on the skin and 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 tightens and wrinkles are smoothed out.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was accepted by cosmetologists not so long ago.Due to its effectiveness, low degree of injury, lack of preparatory stage and serious rehabilitation, it became acceptable for independent implementation.
How to choose a device for home lifting?
To do RF lifting at home, you do not need to use a heavy-duty system with a large number of functions and modes of operation, which are intended for professional beauty salons.
It is enough to buy a portable device that:
- has the necessary power to heat the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté, a small power is enough, for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, a stronger power is enough to break the cellulite orange skin);
- smoothly adjusts the optimal modes for different zones;
- assembled by a trusted manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- there is a guaranteed service.
Home appliances used for lifting can cause unpleasant sensations for those with sensitive skin due to the inability to adjust the depth of heating.As a rule, this problem is solved with the help of a cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of cosmetologists
Lovers of RF lifting technology who appreciate the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue procedures to improve their appearance without leaving their home.The main thing is to understand the wide variety of devices that are 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, except for unipolar - they are able to warm the deeper layers of the dermis, giving a stronger result.However, this power also hides the danger of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas and, as a result, provoking unwanted reactions of the body to radio frequency pulses.
The higher polarity allows for a more targeted, localized effect on strictly defined areas, ensuring safety for the body.But a multi-pole 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 have decided to create a beauty salon at home.
