Hardware facial rejuvenation is an effective modern way to rejuvenate the skin without plastic surgery. The use of hardware rejuvenation methods is recommended after 30 years. At the age of 30-40, they allow you to fight facial wrinkles and skin fatigue. After 50 years, modern cosmetology equipment helps to remove deep wrinkles, ptosis, folds, makes the skin more elastic and fresh.
Popular hardware rejuvenation techniques
There are many techniques for device rejuvenation, they are focused on different ages and skin conditions. Most often, customers want to rejuvenate the skin of the face, neck, eyelids. Hardware cosmetology methods for facial rejuvenation can be divided into two main categories:
- Ablative. Ensure that the integrity of the patient's skin is not disturbed during the procedure.
- Nonablative. The integrity of the patient's skin during the procedure is not disturbed.
Non-ablative methods are more caring, but in some cases, the ablative method can be more effective in solving a certain age-related problem. It is necessary to choose a method after consultation with a cosmetologist.
Hardware facial rejuvenation procedures are performed using special equipment. The following devices are widely used:
- RF-pickup devices.
- Ultrasound equipment (SMAS-lifting equipment).
- ELOS apparatus.
- Equipment for mesotherapy.
- Microdermabrasion devices.
- Apparatus for cryotherapy, etc.
In some salons you can find so-called "beauty machines". Such multifunctional equipment can perform up to twenty different procedures.
RF-lifting as an effective method of rejuvenation
One of the most popular modern methods of hardware facial rejuvenation is RF-lifting (radio-frequency lifting). It is an effective anti-aging technology that provides lifting and correction of the oval using an RF-lifting device. This technique became popular in cosmetology about fifteen years ago.
The essence of the RF-lifting procedure is the impact of radio waves on the deep layers of the dermis and their heating. Under the influence of heat, the fabrics begin to shrink, the fibers shrink. The result is an increase in skin tone and a pronounced lifting effect. Also, the increased temperature stimulates skin cells to produce natural collagen and elastin. New fibers appear, a framework characteristic of young skin is formed.
In addition to the effect of lifting and removing laxity of the skin, RF-lifting helps to delay the further formation of wrinkles. The result after the procedure is preserved for up to 3 years.
Ultrasonic method of rejuvenation - SMAS lifting
Among the characteristics of hardware methods of rejuvenation using ultrasound equipment is their painlessness. The result of the procedure is increased cell regeneration, improved blood circulation, collagen synthesis, removal of toxins and metabolic products from the body. Electrical pulses tone the skin and provide noticeable rejuvenation after just one session. Of course, the result may be different for different women, as it depends on the individual characteristics of the body and the condition of the skin.
SMAS lifting - lifting without surgery
SMAS lifting is another of the most popular hardware rejuvenation techniques that allows you to do a face lift without surgery and painful injections. The abbreviation SMAS stands for "inferior musculo-aponeurotic layer – these are the muscles that form the frame of the face. With age, these muscles stretch, so the skin sags and wrinkles form.
The plastic surgeon works with the lower muscle-aponeurotic layer. It is affected by a SMAS device that sends ultrasound pulses deep into the skin, "reaching" the muscles of the frame and pulling them up. As a result, the skin looks younger and fresher, and all this without surgical and invasive intervention.
ELOS rejuvenation
Device facial rejuvenation using ELOS technology is an effective and safe solution to combat age-related changes in the skin. The principle of operation of the ELOS equipment is based on the parallel action of two types of energy - electrical and light. Under the influence of these energies, the production of natural collagen and elastin is stimulated, thanks to which our skin acquires tone and elasticity. The older the patient is, the less collagen and elastin in the skin becomes, as a result, the skin sags and thins, wrinkles form.
Using the ELOS technology, cosmetologists start the natural processes of skin regeneration - the synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated. Unwanted processes related to age are slowed down, wrinkles are smoothed, rosacea, scars, age spots disappear.
Mesotherapy without injections
Modern methods of hardware facial rejuvenation allow you to deal with age-related skin changes without painful injections. With the help of modern mesotherapy equipment, it became possible to transfer moisturizing substances to the deeper layers of the skin without the use of injections.
Injection-free mesotherapy is recommended to solve such aesthetic problems:
- The presence of wrinkles.
- Skin laxity.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Cooperosa.
- Earthy skin tone.
- The presence of enlarged pores.
Microdermabrasion is a delicate method of device facial rejuvenation
Microdermabrasion or diamond resurfacing is a micro resurfacing procedure that removes dead skin cells. In fact, the microdermabrasion machine allows you to perform deep peeling of the skin. To do this, use a diamond nozzle with crumbs of different grain sizes applied to it.
What does diamond skin resurfacing do? It evens out the relief and stimulates the natural regeneration of tissues, which contributes to the rejuvenation of the face. The complexion improves noticeably, the pores are narrowed, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin becomes more elastic. One procedure allows you to achieve the effect of skin restoration, and a whole course of microdermabrasion helps to get rid of post-acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
Microdermabrasion is attractive because it is a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia and rehabilitation. The exposure time of the device, as well as the intensity, are selected individually, depending on the type of skin and its condition, as well as other individual characteristics. The process of hardware peeling is carefully controlled by a cosmetologist.
Cryotherapy as a way to slow down aging
Dosed cooling of the facial skin is an effective way to solve many age-related problems. This hardware rejuvenation technique helps to eliminate puffiness, smooth wrinkles, remove age spots and scars. Also, the use of the cryolipolysis machine for rejuvenation helps to restore the oval of the face and improve skin color.
During the procedure, liquid nitrogen is used to rejuvenate the face. The temperature of the liquid is -195 degrees. The liquid is fed through a reservoir tube, for which different nozzles are used. The cryotherapy procedure is not only effective, but also quick. One session takes up to ten minutes.
Indications and contraindications for device rejuvenation
An indication for hardware rejuvenation procedures can only be the desire of a woman or man to look younger. But experts recommend the use of such techniques for patients after 30 years. Among the more specific indications regarding hardware rejuvenation:
- Visible signs of skin aging.
- The presence of wrinkles in the area of the eyes, lips, neck.
