Hardware facial rejuvenation is an effective modern way to rejuvenate the skin without plastic surgery. The use of hardware methods of rejuvenation is recommended after 30 years. At the age of 30-40 years, they allow you to fight mimic wrinkles and skin fatigue. After 50 years, modern cosmetology equipment helps to eliminate deep wrinkles, ptosis, creases, make the skin more elastic and fresh.
Popular hardware rejuvenation techniques
There are many hardware rejuvenation techniques, they are focused on different ages and skin conditions. Most often, clients want to rejuvenate the skin of the face, neck, eyelids. Hardware cosmetology methods for facial rejuvenation can be divided into two main categories:
- Ablative. Provide for violation of the integrity of the patient's skin during the procedure.
- Non-ablative. The integrity of the patient's skin during the procedure is not violated.
Non-ablative methods are more caring, but in some cases, the ablative method may be more effective for solving a particular age problem. It is necessary to choose a method in consultation with a cosmetologist.
Hardware facial rejuvenation procedures are performed using special equipment. The following devices are widely used:
- RF-lifting devices.
- Ultrasonic equipment (equipment for SMAS-lifting).
- ELOS apparatus.
- Equipment for mesotherapy.
- Devices for microdermabrasion.
- Apparatus for cryotherapy, etc.
In some salons you can find the 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). This is an effective anti-aging technology that provides lifting and correction of the oval with the help of an RF-lifting device. This technique became popular in cosmetology about fifteen years ago.
The essence of the RF-lifting procedure is the effect of radio waves on the deep layers of the dermis and their heating. Under the influence of heat, the tissues begin to shrink, the fibers contract. The result is an increase in skin tone and a pronounced lifting effect. Also, elevated 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 a facelift and elimination of skin laxity, RF-lifting helps to slow down the further formation of wrinkles. The result obtained after the procedure lasts up to 3 years.
Ultrasonic rejuvenation method – SMAS lifting
Among the features of hardware rejuvenation methods 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. Electric impulses tone the skin and provide noticeable rejuvenation after just one session. Of course, the result may differ for different women, as it depends on the individual characteristics of the organism 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 facelift without surgery and painful injections. The abbreviation SMAS means "lower muscular-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 muscular-aponeurotic layer. It is affected by an SMAS device that sends ultrasonic pulses deep into the skin, "getting" to 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
Hardware facial rejuvenation using ELOS technology is an effective and safe solution to combat age-related skin changes. The principle of operation of 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, the less collagen and elastin in the skin becomes, as a result, the skin sags and becomes thinner, wrinkles form.
Using ELOS technology, cosmetologists start the natural processes of skin regeneration - the synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated. Undesirable age-related processes slow down, wrinkles are smoothed out, 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 has become possible to transfer moisturizing substances into the deeper layers of the skin without the use of injections.
Non-injection mesotherapy is recommended for solving such aesthetic problems:
- The presence of wrinkles.
- Flabbiness of the skin.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Couperose.
- Earthy skin tone.
- The presence of enlarged pores.
Microdermabrasion is a delicate method of hardware 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 a crumb of different grain sizes applied to it.
What does diamond skin resurfacing give? It evens out the relief and stimulates natural tissue repair, which contributes to facial rejuvenation. The complexion is noticeably improved, 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 scars after acne 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, is 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 facial skin cooling is an effective way to solve many age-related problems. This hardware rejuvenation technique helps eliminate puffiness, smooth wrinkles, get rid of age spots and scars. Also, the use of the cryolipolysis apparatus for the purpose of 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 liquid temperature is -195 degrees. The liquid is supplied through a reservoir tube, for which different nozzles are used. The cryotherapy procedure is not only effective, but also fast. One session takes up to ten minutes.
Indications and contraindications for hardware rejuvenation
An indication for hardware rejuvenation procedures may be just the desire of a woman or a man to look younger. But experts recommend using such techniques for patients after 30 years. Among the more specific indications regarding hardware rejuvenation:
