RF-lifting: reviews of doctors, beauticians, contraindications, procedure description, pluses and minuses

With age, women are increasingly concerned about age-related changes: the appearance of wrinkles, double chins, and the swimming of the face oval. Fight these problems in a variety of ways - from surgery to the application of creams. But the first is rather painful and requires a long period of rehabilitation, and the second is not as effective as promises cosmetology. RF-lifting is something in between. These are physical procedures that help to feel younger. Consider what is RF-lifting, reviews, contra -indications .

Features of RF-lifting

Among the several most popular methods of aesthetic cosmetology, the use of radio-frequency radiation is increasingly used. It has several names: radiolifting, RF-lifting, radio wave lifting. This is the effect of electromagnetic pulses, whose frequency is in the range from 300 MHz to 4 kHz. But are they not dangerous for the skin and overall health of a woman?

Name and synonyms

This procedure is also called: thermolift, radiolift, RF lipolysis, RF-lifting, radio wave lifting. Thermage reviews of users are often referred to as synonyms for this word. But in fact he, like ultramothermolifting and alum, is a component of this procedure.

History of the method

The first to prove the possibility of the effect of high frequency current on N. Tesla's person at the end of the 19th century. And already at the beginning of the 20th century, his achievements began to be used in physiotherapy. The procedure for diathermy was carried out for orthotherapy, but its side effect was exposure to the skin and subcutaneous layers.

In the 30s of the same century, UHF-therapy was started. Many of us have experienced its influence on ourselves in the conduct of physical procedures.

Almost a century it took scientists to develop a method of thermal, one of the types of radiolift. Now all radiolifting devices use one of two methods - diathermy and UHF therapy. The temperature in the treated areas rises to 23 degrees.

Types of devices

For RF-lifting, two types of devices are used:

• Some act on the principle of diathermy. Fatty tissues heat faster than deeper tissues.
• The effect on the tissue occurs with the help of an electromagnetic field (UHF principle). These are resistive devices.

Describing RF-lifting reviews of cosmeticians say that radio waves cause cells to produce elastin and collagen, make the skin smooth and gentle. After the completion of the process, the production of these substances begins to occur in the body on its own and lasts for several months.

Procedures are carried out with the help of special apparatus. They come in different types, like the nature of radio frequency radiation, which also differs RF-lifting.

The reviews of cosmeticians indicate that monopoly lifting gives a very strong effect. But you can only hold it once.

Bipolar RF-lifting to achieve the effect should be done about six times. This procedure is characterized by a more gentle effect.

Tripolar is a new kind of RF-lifting, which is carried out with the help of several electrodes. The poles constantly switch, which leads to different layers of skin alternately.

Which method to choose? This is determined by the doctor, based on the diagnosis and results of the examination.

Temperature

Heating the skin to 42 degrees does not give any lifting effect. When the rise to 44 degrees begins the effect of changing the structure of the protein. The procedure time is several minutes.

At a temperature of 50 degrees, the procedure is no more than 20 seconds.

Even higher temperature is chosen for carrying out a thermal bath. Exposed few seconds.

Above 60 degrees, the temperature is not raised, because this will lead to a burn, and instead of improving you will get new problems.

The essence of the method

When the skin and subcutaneous layers are heated to 42 degrees (the critical temperature for proteins), the collagen from which the skin is built is compressed. At the same time, the skin looks denser, and the wrinkles are smoothed out.

The body mobilizes the forces for protection and reacts to the destruction of collagen by the development of a new one. Several months after the procedure, he gradually replaces the one that was destroyed.

Indications

RF-lifting reviews of doctors-cosmetologists are advised to hold, if your skin has become flabby, hanging after the birth of a child or a strong loss of weight. On the face of the indication is the presence of a double chin or wrinkles. She gives good results with cellulite.

Using RF-lifting:

• After plastic surgery or liposuction.
• After other rejuvenating procedures.
• With a strong weight loss.

When is it time?

When is it better to do RF lifting? Reviews of cosmeticians say that the body cells respond better to the procedure at a younger age. Then it is easier to force them to produce the substances we need. But at a young age, changes in the state of the skin are not so noticeable, so not all potential customers are resolved to this procedure. When the aging process is going on intensively, then there are more people who want to improve their appearance. Here the result of the procedure is more noticeable.

Many cosmeticians believe that the effect largely depends on the individual characteristics of the skin. After all, all of it is different. If you do not have contraindications, the result will still be positive. But the degree of improvement can be different.

Contraindications

In order to determine whether it is possible to conduct RF-lifting procedures, you need to consult a doctor, whom you trust. He will see if you have any contraindications for such manipulations. These are the conditions and diseases: pregnancy and lactation, tumors, viral and chronic ailments, hypertension, diabetes, epilepsy. Prohibited these procedures in the presence of implants, including in the oral cavity, in the treated areas. Contraindication is also the presence of a large number of acne.

Impact Zones

• On the face (around the eyes, near the nose and mouth).
• In the decollete zone, on the chest.
• On the extremities and on the stomach.

Procedure

Before carrying out RF-lifting remove all ornaments, take out contact lenses. The men are shaving.

• Skin cleansing is the first and very important step in the RF-lifting procedure.
• Tonic treatment.
• Apply contact means, which helps the device to easily slide over the surface of the body. If it is not enough, then painful sensations are likely. You can use the basic modulating gel, which increases the production of elastin and collagen, improves skin tone.
• Ampoule lifting concentrate improves the effectiveness of the procedure.
• The site is heated with a maniple.

• The treated surface is cream coated. It is desirable that it has a triple action: softening, smoothing and moistening. After all, the impact of the procedure is still somewhat traumatic.

Expected effect

After carrying out a number of procedures, you have the right to expect such a result:

• Elastic skin.
• Disappearance or a marked decrease in the number of wrinkles.
• Elimination of bruises under the eyes.
• The contour of the face is tightened.
• Double chin is removed.
• The complexion changes. It becomes pink and fresh.
• Cellulite disappears.

Personal facial lifting (reviews of cosmetologists say that the procedure can be combined with photorejuvenation) has the following feature: when injecting implants from silicone it is contraindicated, and if hyaluronic acid has been used, it can be carried out. It is only necessary to understand that the effect of the previous intervention will be significantly reduced, fillers will quickly dissolve. Therefore, experts advise to wait six months or a year, and only then to conduct RF-lifting.

For a better effect, cosmetologists advise after the session to conduct a vacuum lymphatic drainage massage of the face. It will help remove fat from the cheeks and chin.

Negative consequences

But there are complications. They can be caused by several factors.

First, this is the procedure with the available contraindications.

There are inexperienced professionals who can even cause burns. Patients' opinions warn of the danger of any kind of discounts on procedures. They can be offered by a doctor who decided to practice with you. Especially you need to be careful if in that case you are forced to sign a rejection of complaints in the event of an unsuccessful procedure.

Sometimes there are specific reactions of the body, it can be difficult to foresee:

• Edema.
• Allergic reactions to RF-lifting.

Patient Reviews

Basically, people who decided to radiolift procedure, are satisfied with the result. But, as we can see from the patients' reviews, there are pluses and minuses in the radio wave lifting. Most patients claim that this procedure is not painful, especially the first sessions, when the doctor looks at the reaction and gradually prepares the skin for a stronger effect.

But many people experience severe pain when performing it. And only the hope of getting a good result makes them endure.

The first results some patients see after only one session. We will not consider a positive effect of some swelling of the face. Feel the heat for two hours. This is due to the fact that the temperature of the subcutaneous layer was increased by the procedure. But mostly the results are noticed by others after the third session. The skin becomes more elastic, wrinkles begin to decrease.

After several procedures the person can itch, and the skin is slightly pulled together from the inside. This is a reaction to the traumatic effect of the procedure. But the skin should not be scraped from the outside, as there should be no signs of a burn.

There are cases when the patient was not helped at all by RF-lifting. Here much depends on the individual features of the skin and the experience of the doctor.

Some clients pay attention to the fact that the procedure of RF-lifting is carried out only in clinics. If you are offered to purchase a device for carrying it at home, know: you want to be deceived. The device, similar to a computer mouse, you can not do RF-lifting face.
