Lifting is a general term for a series of cosmetic procedures aimed at tightening the skin. This includes plastic surgery and many non-invasive methods, from medications (injections) to device treatments.
According to the comments of beauticians and people who use hardware lifting and rejuvenation, this is one of the few effective non-surgical methods of tightening. The effect is long-lasting and significantly improves skin health (including anti-inflammatory effects) without causingSignificant side effects.
As a maintenance therapy for ptosis (ptosis) of the skin area that begins to appear with age-related changes, hardware upgrades are suitable for patients over 25 years of age (regardless of gender), and are performed in the form of regular short courses.
For men, this procedure will help cope with fat deposits in the chin and neck area and restore contours in the case of obesity with shingles.
What is radio wave boost?
Radiofrequency skin lift (or radiofrequency skin lift) of the face and body is a radio wave method based on heating the deep layers of the skin (dermis and subcutaneous tissue) under the epidermis (surface) to treat age-related changes.
The essence of this method lies in the point effect of radio waves on the most vulnerable areas where cellulite and cysts are most likely to form, that is, age-related relaxation characteristics. These are the facial area-forehead, temples, cheeks, nasolabial triangle, chin and neck to thyroid cartilage; and trunk-abdomen, inner thighs, both sides (above the iliac pelvic bones). In addition, the radio frequency boost of the whole body is also used.
Due to deep heating to various temperatures (depending on the location and sensitivity of the skin), the fat sublayer becomes thinner and the blood vessels reflexively expand. As the blood flow accelerates, the metabolism in the skin accelerates. But the most important thing is the change in collagen: it changes its structure-the long fibers that connect the dermis and epidermis are reduced, and the skin regains its firmness and elasticity. After 21 days, new collagen began to be produced in large quantities, and the effect was lasting.
As a result, "Flying" is visibly tightened, eyebrows are raised, nasolabial folds become less obvious, and acne scars and stretch marks are smoothed and reduced. The orange peel effect disappeared. The skin feels more elastic to the touch and the skin tone is more even: the shadows under the eyes lighten, and the yellow is replaced by pink.
Times watched
The radio frequency face and body lifting procedures can be executed in different modes depending on the device type and settings. The difference is the power (and the temperature generated in the skin) and polarity of the device.
- Unipolar.Acts evenly on selected skin layers with the same depth. It has the most powerful effect and therefore the highest temperature (50-60OhC). The device should not be used on fine skin areas, including areas around the eyes (crow's feet only). Ideal for treating cellulite as part of body sculpting
- Bipolar.The polarity can be switched to reduce power and temperature (up to 45OhC), so the device is suitable for sensitive areas. No magnetic field
- Tripolar.The latest generation of lifting equipment with constant polarity reversal function. The gentlest mode for the lowest temperature and highest processing speed. Suitable for all skin types (even for radiofrequency eye lift) and can be used on the whole body. Absolutely painless
RF and thermal boost-what is the difference?
Thermolifting (thermage) is often referred to as high-power radio frequency body lifting (that is, performed by a unipolar device). Temperature influence reaches 60OhC. Through heat lifting, controlled damage to the skin triggers a stronger immune response, so postoperative edema is more likely to occur.
Features of thermal boost:
- The treatment of deep fat deposits is effective (the radio wave penetration ability of this method is up to 40 mm), but the range is limited (cannot be used to treat the eyes, there is a risk of damaging the eyeball tissue)
- The procedure is short, but it is likely to cause discomfort
- Long list of contraindications
Features of RF lift:
- Versatility
- low power
- Lack of feeling and side effects
- Longer treatment time
- The course needs to be repeated 1-2 times per year
benefit
- Non-invasive. The procedure does not leave scars, nor does it cause conditions that are potentially harmful to health (prerequisites for allergic reactions, infections, and blood loss)
- No need for special training, rehabilitation and adherence to a lifelong diet or other restrictive rules
- Fully seasonal. There are no restrictions in summer because the process does not involve the epidermis
- Effectiveness for different age groups regardless of gender. From the age of 25 to menopause, men and women are equally well tolerated
- Act fast. The results are not only visible after a single procedure, but also summarized during the course and strengthened over time (long-term effect)
- The accuracy of the impact allows you to deal with strictly defined areas
- Suitable for the whole body
- Can be used for complex rehabilitation plans
Who suits
The RFlifting program has its own indications and limitations. Recommended:
- Maintain the complexion until the first signs of fatigue and aging (but no earlier than 25 years old)

- Used for body shaping and facial contouring
- As an anti-cellulite therapy (including anti-neck obesity, double chin)
- As part of the revival complex
- Used to tighten skin after fast weight loss
- Improve the plumpness of generally sagging skin and reduce acne marks

- Emoji lines and folds
- Couperosis on face and legs
Contraindications:
- Connective tissue disease
- Acute phase of viral or bacterial infection, worsening of chronic disease
- During pregnancy, breastfeeding or menstruation
- The presence of prostheses, implants (including gold reinforcement), and pacemakers
- Patients receiving Botox injections at the same time
- High blood pressure or severe hypertension
- Active inflammation of wounds, eczema, skin

- Under 25
How to do it
- Before the operation, the patient should not apply cosmetics-the skin should be dry and clean. Men need to shave thoroughly. It is not recommended to wear contact lenses when working on the eyelids and around the eyes
- In beauty salons or clinics, clients are placed on comfortable recliners and covered with disposable sheets. Hair gathered under the hat
- First, peel off the facial skin for deep cleansing.
- Then apply hypoallergenic (neutral) conductive gel
- The beautician starts to drive the device (handle) along strictly defined lines in the treatment area while massaging the skin
- At the end of the procedure, clean the skin and apply the nourishing mask on the face
According to the characteristics of the skin, the treatment area and the desired effect, the exposure mode is selected individually. Pain sensation rarely occurs-during the operation, the customer may feel a more or less intense tingling sensation, and the body surface heat in the operation area of the device increases sharply.
Before going to a beauty salon, you must consult a dermatologist for contraindications.
Side effects and suggestions after the meeting
After the radiofrequency lifting treatment, the blood vessels are immediately expanded and filled with blood. As a result, it is possible for the treatment area to become red, heat up, and increase in local temperature. These symptoms will go away on their own within one to two days.
Slight swelling may occur at night and no intervention is required. When removing cellulite in a large area of the body, it is appropriate to combine radiofrequency lifting with lymphatic drainage.
A rare long-term complication of this procedure is skin fibrosis (abnormal proliferation of connective tissue due to excessive stimulation). This happens when the procedure is abused or the beautician often does not follow the temperature regime and exposure time.
Therefore, when choosing this method of rejuvenation, you should strictly observe the recommended treatment interval, carefully choose the clinic, and pay attention to the qualifications and ratings of the doctors.
On the first day after the meeting, customers need to avoid:
- Bath visit
- stadium
- Solarium
How often should the procedure be performed
The effect of radiofrequency lifting is long-lasting, and it is enough to repeat the treatment 1-2 times a year. Each course will provide about 4 15-20 minutes treatment courses for customers under 50 years old (depending on the regimen and body part, the treatment course can be extended to 2 hours), and about 6-8 treatment courses for menopausal customers, becauseChanges in hormone levels can cause more lasting skin changes.
There must be an interval of at least 10 days between procedures of a course of treatment (this interval can be increased to two weeks, but cannot be reduced).
