Hardware facial rejuvenation is a modern and effective way to rejuvenate the skin without plastic surgery. The use of hardware methods of rejuvenation is recommended after 30 years. From the age of 30-40, they help fight facial wrinkles and skin fatigue. After 50 years, modern cosmetology equipment helps to eliminate deep wrinkles, ptosis, folds, make the skin more elastic and fresh.
Popular Hardware Rejuvenation Techniques
There are many hardware rejuvenation techniques, they are geared towards 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. Provide for a violation of the integrity of the patient's skin during the procedure.
- Not 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 in 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 device.
- Mesotherapy equipment.
- Microdermabrasion devices.
- Cryotherapy devices, 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 facelift (radiofrequency facelift). This is an effective anti-aging technology that lifts and corrects 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. In addition, high 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 the elimination of sagging skin, RF-lifting helps to slow down the formation of wrinkles. The result obtained after the procedure lasts up to 3 years.
Ultrasound rejuvenation method – SMAS facelift
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. The electrical impulses tone the skin and provide noticeable rejuvenation after just one session. Of course, the result may differ from woman to woman, since it depends on the individual characteristics of the organism and the condition of the skin.
SMAS facelift - facelift without surgery
The SMAS facelift is another of the most popular hardware rejuvenation techniques that allows you to do a facelift without surgery or painful injections. The abbreviation SMAS stands for "lower musculo-aponeurotic layer - these are the muscles that form the framework of the face. With age, these muscles stretch, the skin sags and wrinkles form.
The plastic surgeon works with the lower musculo-aponeurotic layer. It is affected by an SMAS device that sends ultrasound pulses deep into the skin, "reaching" into the frame muscles and pulling them up. As a result, the skin looks younger and fresher, and all 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 - electric and light. Under the influence of these energies, the natural production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, thanks to which our skin acquires tone and elasticity. The older the patient, the less collagen and elastin there is in the skin, as a result, the skin sags and thins, wrinkles form.
Using ELOS technology, cosmetologists start the natural regeneration processes of the skin - the synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated. Undesirable age-related processes slow down, wrinkles are smoothed, rosacea, scars, age spots disappear.
Mesotherapy without injections
Modern methods of hardware facial rejuvenation allow you to cope with age-related skin changes without painful injections. With the help of modern mesotherapy equipment, it has become possible to transfer moisturizing substances to the deep layers of the skin without resorting to injections.
Mesotherapy without injection is recommended to solve these aesthetic problems:
- The presence of wrinkles.
- Skin flaccidity.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Rosacea.
- Earthy complexion.
- The presence of dilated pores.
Microdermabrasion is a delicate method of hardware facial rejuvenation
Microdermabrasion or diamond resurfacing is a micro-resurfacing procedure that removes dead skin cells. Indeed, the microdermabrasion machine makes it possible to carry out a 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 resurfacing do? It unifies the relief and stimulates the natural repair of the tissues, which contributes to the rejuvenation of the face. The complexion is noticeably improved, pores are tightened, fine lines are smoothed, the skin becomes more elastic. One procedure allows you to achieve the effect of skin restoration, and a whole course of microdermabrasion helps to remove scars after acne and hyperpigmentation.
Microdermabrasion is attractive because it is a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia or 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 peeling the material is carefully controlled by a cosmetologist.
Cryotherapy as a way to slow aging
Dosed cooling of the facial skin is an effective way to solve many age-related problems. This hardware rejuvenation technique helps eliminate puffiness, smooth wrinkles, remove age spots and scars. In addition, the use of the cryolipolysis device for rejuvenation purposes can restore the oval of the face and improve the color of the skin.
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 various nozzles are used. The cryotherapy procedure is not only effective, but also quick. A session lasts up to ten minutes.
Indications and contraindications for hardware rejuvenation
An indication for material rejuvenation procedures may simply be a woman's or man's desire to look younger. But experts recommend using such techniques for patients after 30 years. Among the more precise indications concerning material rejuvenation:
- Visible signs of skin aging.
