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 enable you to fight mimic wrinkles and skin fatigue. After 50 years, modern cosmetic equipment helps to remove deep wrinkles, ptosis, folds, makes the skin more elastic and fresh.
Popular hardware rejuvenation techniques
There are many hardware rejuvenation techniques, focused on different ages and skin conditions. Most often, clients want to rejuvenate the skin of the face, neck, and 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.
- Non-ablative. The integrity of the patient's skin is not disturbed during the procedure.
Non-ablative methods are more caring, but in some cases, an ablative method may be more effective for solving a particular age-related problem. The method should be chosen 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.
- Equipment for mesotherapy.
- Devices for microdermabrasion.
- 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). This is an effective anti-aging technology that allows the lifting and correction of ovals with the help of RF-lifting devices. 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, tissues begin to shrink, fibers shrink. 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 tightening the face and eliminating skin laxity, RF-lifting helps to slow down the further formation of wrinkles. The result obtained after the procedure lasts up to 3 years.
Ultrasound method of rejuvenation - SMAS lifting
Among the features of hardware rejuvenation methods using ultrasound equipment is their painlessness. The result of the procedure is enhanced cell regeneration, improved blood circulation, collagen synthesis, removal of toxins and metabolic products from the body. Electrical impulses tone the skin and provide visible rejuvenation after just one session. Of course, the result may differ for different women, because 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 "the lower muscle-aponeurotic layer - these are the muscles that make up the frame of the face. "Over the years, these muscles stretch, so the skin relaxes and wrinkles form.
A plastic surgeon works with the lower muscle-aponeurotic layer. It is affected by the SMAS device, which 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, all without surgical and invasive interventions.
ELOS rejuvenation
Hardware facial rejuvenation using ELOS technology is an effective and safe solution to fight age-related skin changes. The working principle of ELOS equipment is based on the parallel operation 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 gains 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 trigger the natural processes of skin regeneration - the synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated. Unwanted processes related to aging 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 skin changes related to aging without painful injections. With the help of modern equipment for mesotherapy, it is possible to transfer moisturizing substances into the deeper layers of the skin without the use of injections.
Non-injection mesotherapy is recommended to solve the following aesthetic problems:
- The presence of wrinkles.
- Skin laxity.
- 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 microresurfacing procedure that removes dead skin cells. In fact, the microdermabrasion machine allows you to perform a deep exfoliation of the skin. To do this, use a diamond nozzle on which a crumb of different grain sizes is applied.
What does diamond resurfacing give? It evens out relief and stimulates natural tissue renewal, which contributes to facial rejuvenation. The complexion is noticeably improved, the pores are narrowed, fine lines are smoothed, the skin becomes more elastic. One procedure makes it possible to achieve the effect of skin renewal, and the entire 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, 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 cooling of the facial skin is an effective way to solve many problems related to aging. This hardware rejuvenation technique helps reduce puffiness, smooth wrinkles, age spots and scars. Also, the use of a cryolipolysis machine for the purpose of rejuvenation helps to restore the oval 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 fed through the tank pipe, for which different nozzles are used. The cryotherapy procedure is not only effective, but also fast. One session lasts up to ten minutes.
Indications and contraindications for hardware rejuvenation
An indication for hardware rejuvenation procedures may be simply a woman's or man's desire to look younger. But experts recommend using such techniques for patients after 30 years. Among the more specific indications for hardware rejuvenation:
- Visible signs of skin aging.
- The presence of wrinkles in the eyes, lips, neck.
