To use an RF lifting device at home, as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, you need to have an understanding of the capabilities of the device 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 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 out.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was adopted by cosmetologists not so long ago.Due to its effectiveness, low-injury nature, absence of a preparatory stage and serious rehabilitation, it has become acceptable for independent implementation.
How to choose a device for home lifting?
To do RF lifting at home, it is not necessary to use a heavy-duty system with a large number of functions and operating modes that are intended for professional beauty salons.
It is enough to purchase a portable device that:
- has the necessary power to warm up the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté, a small power is enough, for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, stronger power is enough to break up the cellulite orange peel);
- smoothly adjusts optimal modes for different zones;
- assembled by a trusted manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- has guaranteed service.
Devices for home use used for lifting can cause unpleasant sensations for those with sensitive skin due to the inability to regulate the heating depth.As a rule, this problem is solved with the help of a cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of cosmetologists
Fans of RF lifting technology who appreciate the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue procedures to improve their appearance without leaving home.The main thing is to understand the great variety of devices that are offered for lifting manipulations by production companies working for the beauty industry.
Today, there are monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models on sale, which do not differ much in effectiveness from each other, with the exception of unipolar ones - they are able to heat the deeper layers of the dermis, giving a stronger result.However, this force also contains the danger of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas, and as a result, provoking adverse reactions of the body to radiofrequency pulses.
Higher polarity allows for a more targeted, localized effect on strictly certain areas, guaranteeing safety for the body.But a multipolar device for RF lifting at home is a real luxury, since the prices for such devices are simply sky-high.
There are models of mobile devices that are popular both among specialists and among those who decided to set up a beauty salon at home.
