But what to choose if you don’t really want to resort to radical methods? RF lifting can be an excellent choice.

Radio frequency or RF lifting of the face and body - a technology for non-surgical tightening of the early signs of loose or sagging skin; perfect for those people who either don't want or don't believe they are old enough to go under the plastic surgeon's knife.

Radio frequency (RF) energy has found its way into the treatment of sagging skin in facelifts and is best suited for patients with mild to moderate facial sagging, usually between the ages of 30 and 50. Most often, it is used to treat the forehead, under the eyes, cheeks, mid face, jaw line and neck. However, it can also be used to treat cellulite on the legs, arms or abdomen.

RF facelift is a method of skin rejuvenation without surgery. An effective and safe procedure. RF lifting facilitates the supply of oxygen to tissues, activates cellular metabolism, promotes the removal of catabolic residues and stimulates the formation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin. The body's physiological response to radio waves is a gradual and natural stretching of the skin.

Based on state-of-the-art radiofrequency technology, this procedure, at a minimum, achieves significant skin elasticity, with minimal risk and minimal downtime compared to surgery.

So, let's note the advantages of RF lifting:

• Skin care. Eliminates existing cosmetic defects, evens out its relief and restores healthy skin color. The processes of blood circulation are accelerated;


• Rejuvenating effect. It achieves this almost as quickly as with plastic surgery, but without surgical intervention, the consequences of anesthesia and a long rehabilitation recovery;


• Affects the deep layers of the skin Due to the generation of heat inside the skin, it has a positive effect on the vital functions of cells;


• Regenerates tissues. The result of exposure to the deep layers of the skin will also be the restoration of damaged tissue areas.

This procedure is also unique in that it acts with the help of radio waves, warming up the skin and activating the synthetic function of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts (cells of the connective tissue of the body) under the influence of radio waves begin to produce new molecules of collagen and elastin.

Due to this effect (neocollagenesis), the filling of living cells of the skin is noticeably improved, and the natural properties of the skin are restored.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FACE AND BODY AFTER RF LIFTING?

This technique allows you to eliminate cosmetic defects of the face or body during several sessions (from 6 to 8). It is important to adhere to the treatment regimen that the cosmetologist will offer you. Try to follow his general recommendations as well.

You will notice improvements almost immediately after the procedure, as the intensity of the skin regeneration process will increase dramatically. Due to the fact that the synthesis of collagen and elastin will accelerate, your skin will become more elastic, acquire the necessary elasticity and firmness. After 2-3 sessions, the skin relief will completely even out, the skin color will acquire a natural, healthy color. And after 6 - 8 procedures, excess fatty tissues are eliminated, the face or body will acquire a well-groomed and toned appearance.

RF lifting - contraindications?

The bipolar RF lifting procedure is accompanied by a feeling of warmth, and there should be no pain. The whole process is controlled by both the doctor and the patient himself, in whose hands the switch is located, and he can interrupt the procedure if he feels any discomfort. The measured skin temperature during RF therapy does not exceed 42° Celsius.

The treatment of one area on the body takes approximately 15 to 50 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

After the procedure, doctors recommend drinking plenty of fluids, which will help eliminate the breakdown products of fatty compounds from the body.

Reddening and thickening of the skin after RF therapy is possible, and most often this effect does not last more than a couple of hours.

The course of RF therapy, as already mentioned, consists of approximately 6-8 sessions. The optimal interval between each procedure is 7 days. This interval can be increased or reduced in agreement with the beautician, but not less than 4 days.

The result will be noticeable after the first procedure.

In some patients, the volume of the treated part of the body may increase after the first 2-3 procedures. This is due to the insufficient function of the lymphatic system, which cannot cope with the removal of destroyed fat cells.

After two or three, less often four, procedures, the natural lymphatic drainage will become more effective and the swelling that caused the increase in the volume of the treated areas will disappear.

If necessary, you can speed up this process by having a session of lymphatic drainage massage, and if the procedure is performed on the face, then FACE MASSAGE .

The visible effect will persist after a course of RF therapy for 2-3 years.
