The best hardware technologies for facial rejuvenation and lifting for 2021

Today, many are interested in hardware cosmetology and the types of procedures it offers. This is not surprising, because a large number of women are concerned about their appearance.

External attractiveness directly depends on the condition of the skin on the face and body. As you age, maintaining natural beauty and health becomes more and more difficult.

The most powerful and expensive cosmetic preparations do not affect the deep layers of the epidermis. It is for this reason that women are increasingly using various types of hardware cosmetology procedures.

They are able to slow down the aging process, reduce the severity of wrinkles, and restore the elasticity and healthy color of the skin.

Botox

No matter how much people talk about Botox, no matter how much ridicule there is around this procedure, it still remains quite popular and in demand. Today, the protocols for the procedure have changed significantly, the techniques and preparations have been improved, so the risk of getting a “stony” face is minimal. But getting rid of deep skin wrinkles and smoothing the skin, refreshing your face is as easy as shelling pears!

The essence of the procedure is that the cosmetologist injects microdoses of botulinum toxin type A into certain areas of the face. This drug neutralizes muscle movement, leads to their relaxation and, as a result, to the reduction of wrinkles.

The technique is painless, does not cause serious injury to the skin, has no rehabilitation period and is suitable for most women. The result lasts up to 6-8 months, and there is no addiction to the drug, so sessions can be repeated as needed.

For the intimate area

Over the years, the intimate area of ​​many women loses its beauty. The labia have a saggy appearance, and their structure is deformed.

As a result, complexes arise: the woman avoids intimate relationships. Such defects are easily eliminated by hardware cosmetology, or rather its various techniques.

Laser scar correction

With fractional laser resurfacing, the laser beam slowly destroys scar tissue in the intimate area.

Collagen formation is actively stimulated. After the session, the specialist applies a wound-healing ointment and a sedative to the treated area.

The procedure does not require special preparatory measures. The method is safe, effective and painless.

Price - 9,000 rubles.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation

The procedure has gained popularity for its minimal invasiveness. A laser with a special attachment is used to treat the vagina. The impact involves treatment to the entire depth of the muscular hollow organ.

The mucous membrane of the organ is influenced by regulated thermal forces, stimulating the production of collagen fibers, improving the condition of blood vessels and blood circulation in them.

The vaginal walls receive rapid nutrition, which helps create a tightening effect. The method cannot be used if there is significant prolapse of the vagina.

Price - 40,000 rubles.

Laser removal of condylomas

Genital warts develop on the genitals due to infection with the papilloma virus.

The laser removes such formations in one procedure and is considered the most popular method of getting rid of condylomas in proctological practice.

The laser beam excises the genital wart, leaving a small scar. The disadvantages of this method include pain during the procedure, which is why local anesthetics are used.

The cost of removing multiple condylomas of the external genitalia is about 8,000 rubles.

Whitening of the anogenital area

Most women want the skin in their intimate areas to be the same color as other areas of the body.

Laser whitening of the anogenital area allows you to achieve the desired goals.

Laser treatment is aimed at evening out the color and microrelief, which will aesthetically improve the intimate areas.

For 4 shades of whitening, 6 sessions will be required. Cost 5,000-7,000 rubles.

Hyaluronic acid fillers

Procedures for introducing gel based on hyaluronic acid have not lost their relevance for several decades. The drugs are based on a substance that is synthesized by our body, so fillers are perceived quite well. Their role is to enable the modeling of certain facial features. For example, by filling skin creases with filler, it is possible to smooth out wrinkles; by injecting the drug into the cheekbone area, you can make them more pronounced and high. The drug can also be administered to model the nose, chin, and lips.

Hyaluronic acid is safe because the gel is eliminated naturally after some time. This does not happen immediately, but gradually and most evenly.

Popular cosmetics

Antismog or antipollution cosmetics

This beauty trend came to us from Asia. The impetus for the creation of such products was given by poor ecology. Everyone knows that air quality affects not only the lungs, but also the condition of the skin. Modern research has shown that microscopic smog particles can easily penetrate the skin, and then provoke sagging and increased sensitivity, acne, hair loss and other cosmetic problems.

This is how cosmetic products with an antipollution formula appeared, which are suitable both for home use and in beauty salons [10]. These products are based on components that block the effects of toxins and heavy metals. How effective cosmetic products from the anti-smog series are depends entirely on their quality.

Cosmetics with syntibiotics

Syntibiotics are probiotics and prebiotics that are beneficial for the skin. These substances are responsible for healthy skin color and elasticity. Products with syntibiotics gained popularity only after it became clear that antibacterial cosmetics destroy beneficial microflora, leaving the skin defenseless and vulnerable to pathogens. Cosmetics with symbiotics are products that contain bacteria that help restore beneficial microflora on the skin. Such products are especially popular among people with sensitive, very dry skin prone to rashes and redness. They are also useful for those who like frequent exfoliations, as well as those who have acne or eczema.

Snail mucus (mucin)

• Antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19: how effective are they?

Many popular face creams and serums contain snail mucus. Nowadays, cosmetic products and procedures using live snails are quite popular in spas, and mucin was first used for skin in Ancient Greece. It is said that Hippocrates used this substance along with sour milk to treat inflammation of the skin. Nowadays, mucin owes its incredible popularity to the Koreans. It all started when scientists discovered hyaluronic acid in snail mucus, which perfectly moisturizes the skin and maintains its elasticity, eliminates hyperpigmentation and prevents acne [11].

Biorevitalization

The procedure is based on the introduction of preparations containing hyaluronic acid. But unlike fillers, it has a different viscosity, so it performs a slightly different function. In particular, the biorevitalization procedure involves administering the drug to certain points on the face. Hyaluronic acid creates a kind of framework that supports the skin, but at the same time it also retains moisture. Due to this, the natural process of producing collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity and tone of the skin, is activated.

Types and features

Today there are a lot of devices for facial rejuvenation. They differ in the principle of operation and the depth of impact on the skin. To stimulate it, lasers, infrared radiation, sound waves and electric current are used.

There are expensive professional equipment for clinics and salons, as well as various devices for home use.

Surface impact

Hardware rejuvenating procedures with a superficial effect on the epidermis are the most painless and safe. But they are not able to cope with serious problems and allow only minor facial corrections. Experts recommend them to patients from 25-27 to 40-45 years old (depending on the type and condition of the skin).

Myostimulation

If muscles are not trained, they lose tone. And this is a supporting frame for the skin, which immediately begins to sag. And on the face as well. Devices for myostimulation are equipped with electrodes, which the cosmetologist attaches to the patient’s face. Weak electrical impulses cause the muscles to contract. Thus, a kind of forced gymnastics is performed.

The procedure helps to quickly get rid of swelling, correct the oval shape, and remove the double chin. It activates subcutaneous blood circulation, improves complexion, and slightly shrinks pores. After several sessions, positive changes become noticeable, but without additional care they are very short-lived.

Microcurrents

Microcurrents are primarily directed to damaged and old cells that have reduced their own potential. They stimulate their activity and restore from the inside. At the same time, there is an effect on small facial muscles, blood vessels and capillaries.

During the procedure:

• subcutaneous blood circulation increases;
• small muscles contract;
• Vascular spasms are eliminated.

The effect is noticeable after the first session. However, to obtain serious results, you need to complete a course of 8-10 procedures, which can be performed every other day.

Ultrasonic lifting

For patients under 40 years of age, it is an excellent means of rejuvenation, and for more mature ones it can even be an alternative to surgery. Unlike laser equipment, ultrasound does not damage the top layer of skin at all and allows you to work through its entire depth.

During the procedure, the synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated. But at the same time, the natural structure of the muscles and subcutaneous fat layer is not disturbed. There is no rehabilitation period at all, and the result has a cumulative effect and intensifies over several days. The most effective lifting is performed using the Altera apparatus.

Photorejuvenation

The essence of the procedure is intensive exposure of the skin to beams of photons of a certain frequency. The device can operate in the visible and infrared ranges. Its main advantage is the possibility of combination with other anti-aging techniques, including injection ones. The gentle effect allows the device to be used in the area around the eyes and décolleté.

The device gives excellent results in the fight against:

• multiple small wrinkles;
• loss of skin elasticity;
• spider veins;
• shallow pigmentation;
• sagging upper and lower eyelids.

The optimal age for this procedure is 30-45 years. In combination with biorevitalization, Botox and myostimulation, it works great up to 50-55 years. Further ineffective, since the natural production of collagen is greatly reduced.

Face Tite

A modern, minimally invasive and very effective procedure performed using the BodyTite device. This is a radiofrequency facelift that allows you to simultaneously carry out thermolipolysis - to rid the patient of unnecessary fat deposits. Therefore, this method is usually recommended for eliminating bags under the eyes, double chin, and cheek correction.

Thin electrodes are inserted through tiny punctures under the skin in problem areas. The current heats the skin to temperatures at which tissue coagulation occurs. The fat cell membranes burst and the collagen fibers contract.

The result is noticeable almost immediately and intensifies over the course of a month. Lasts up to 2-3 years. The procedure is well tolerated under local anesthesia.

Deep rejuvenation

For the correction of deep wrinkles, removal of scars and scars, as well as significant tightening of sagging skin covered with fine wrinkles, the above superficial procedures are not enough. A deeper impact becomes necessary.

Therefore, laser or radio wave hardware techniques are more often recommended for patients in the 40+ age category.

RF lifting

Radio wave lifting appeared relatively recently, but since then it has remained one of the most popular hardware rejuvenating procedures. The idea is to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for the production of collagen fibers, using a specific frequency of electrical impulses. It is because of their insufficient activity that the first wrinkles appear and the skin begins to age.

The device allows you to adjust the intensity of the effect, so it can be used to tighten the neck, eliminate bruises and bags under the eyes, and rejuvenate the décolleté and chest area.

The best results are obtained by patients under 45 years of age. But if the technique is combined with biorevitalization or other types of additional stimulation, the age range expands to 60 years.

Laser peeling

In its classic form, laser peeling is called “evaporation” of facial skin cells. There are superficial, medium and deep peels. Superficial is done on an outpatient basis, and rehabilitation after it lasts from several days to two weeks. It allows you to get rid of fine wrinkles and minor skin problems.

Medium and deep are performed only in a hospital setting. These are very powerful anti-aging procedures, the effect of which is comparable to a surgical lift. But at the same time, crusts form on the entire surface of the skin, and for some time it is completely deprived of its protective functions. Therefore, with improper and/or insufficiently thorough facial care, there is a high risk of developing side effects and complications.

Elos rejuvenation

Ultra-modern combined technique. Its high effectiveness is ensured by simultaneous exposure of the skin to light beams and electrical impulses. Photons heat the surface layer of the epidermis and are absorbed by melanin, allowing you to get rid of shallow pigmentation.

Radiofiber radiation penetrates into the deep and middle layers, stimulating cell division and the production of collagen and elastin.

Device for elos rejuvenation:

• copes well with stretch marks;
• corrects the oval of the face;
• restores skin firmness and elasticity;
• smoothes out small wrinkles;
• eliminates spider veins and spider veins.

Experts recommend performing the procedure to prevent aging after 30 years. After 50, its effectiveness decreases sharply.

Fractional photothermolysis

It also uses a laser beam for rejuvenation and, in fact, is one of the types of laser resurfacing. But with high efficiency, this procedure is much safer than the classical method.

Using special equipment, a continuous stream of photons is divided into multiple fractions - beams of light several microns thick. This allows minimal trauma to the top layer of skin and significantly reduces the recovery period.

If with classic laser peeling 100% of the skin surface is damaged, then after fractional peeling - only 20-25%. But to obtain a lasting result, you need to complete a course of 3-5 procedures with an interval of about a month.

The equipment can be configured so that it allows you to work on the most delicate areas of the skin. Perhaps the only drawback of this method is its high price.

DOT rejuvenation

The name of the procedure is an abbreviation. It stands for “dermal-optical thermolysis” and is one of the types of fractional laser technologies. The finest light beams perform nanoperforation of the skin and evaporate damaged and old cells from the channels.

After such exposure, regeneration processes are activated to restore the microchannels burned by the rays. Due to high temperatures, collagen fibers contract and instant skin tightening occurs.

To obtain excellent results, 1-3 procedures are enough. But this method has a significant disadvantage - pain. Even after applying local anesthesia, the sensations during it are very unpleasant.

Home equipment

The rapid growth in popularity of salon hardware cosmetic procedures has provoked the emergence of devices for home use on the market. You can buy a portable device for facial rejuvenation in medical equipment stores or order it online. But you need to understand that such devices have both pros and cons.

The positive thing is that it saves time and money. Although the cost of a high-quality device is often comparable to a whole course of salon procedures, once you buy it you can use it for several years. In addition, the whole family or the housewife and her friends often use one device. So there is a benefit.

The main disadvantage of such portable equipment is its relatively low efficiency. It is not able to solve serious problems and remove deep wrinkles or a pronounced double chin. It's all about power, which manufacturers deliberately limit, caring primarily about patient safety. After all, the equipment will be used by non-professionals!

In consumer ratings, the first places are usually occupied by the following devices for home rejuvenation:

Remember that you need to buy such devices only from reliable sellers or on the official websites of the manufacturer. There are many cheap fakes on the market that will be ineffective at best and can cause skin damage at worst.

Mesotherapy

Another injection procedure based on the use of special groups of drugs containing vitamins, microelements, peptides and other substances. Meso-cocktails are supplied both ready-made and can be prepared by a cosmetologist for a specific patient.

Mesotherapy allows you to maintain healthy skin, saturating it with all the useful elements for normal functioning, protection from external aggressive factors and anti-aging.

In addition to fresh and radiant skin, mesotherapy achieves good results in the treatment of acne and acne, in the fight against scars, and helps get rid of accumulated toxins.

Areas of application of devices in cosmetology

After 40 years, the skin partially loses its elastic qualities. Creams and care products, even the most advanced ones, do not penetrate into the deep layer of the skin. Cosmetics can penetrate to great depths through hardware therapy methods. Thus, the area of ​​their application increases significantly. The external indicators of the skin improve, and the aging process slows down significantly.

IMPORTANT: is it possible to achieve a good effect at home using cosmetic devices? There are devices for independent use. They are effective, although they have little power and require quite a long period of use to obtain the expected result.

Mesoporation (non-invasive mesotherapy), ultrasonic lifting, and electrical stimulation are widely used for skin rejuvenation. To improve the oval shape and increase muscle tone, electromyostimulation is usually used. Other methods are used to get rid of a wide range of problems. These are, for example, age spots, scars and wrinkles, wide pores, weak tone of the muscles of the face and neck.

How hardware cosmetology can help:

• make the skin smooth, remove fine wrinkles;
• smooth out acne scars, smallpox scars and other defects;
• improve skin turgor, reduce sagging cheeks;
• eliminate age spots;
• remove unnecessary tattoos;
• treat areas of the body with cellulite until it disappears;
• heal hair roots and scalp areas;
• remove hair from the face and body;
• heal vascular capillaries on the skin;
• remove warts and papillomas.

Contraindications for the use of hardware therapy include blood diseases, intolerance to certain substances or influences, some genetic diseases, oncology, and pregnancy. In any case, if you have any doubts about whether it is worth using hardware cosmetic procedures, you should consult with specialists.

Peelings

A fairly old and proven method of skin rejuvenation, which, among other things, solves many related problems. The effect is based on the fact that due to the application of special preparations, controlled damage to the upper layers of the skin occurs. This process triggers natural tissue regeneration, which leads to skin renewal. At the same time, peelings can also solve problems such as enlarged pores, increased oily skin, and post-acne.

Cryolifting

Dosed cooling of tissues allows you to solve many problems that appear due to skin aging processes. This effective method has been adopted by aesthetic medicine professionals. Hardware cryotherapy of the face allows you to eliminate swelling, wrinkles, age spots and scars. In addition, the oval is restored and skin color improves.

Liquid nitrogen is used for the procedure. Its temperature reaches minus 195 degrees. The substance for facial cryomassage is supplied through a special reservoir tube with various attachments. The duration of the procedure does not exceed 10 minutes.

Plasmolifting

A procedure that is on the border between cosmetology and medicine. It involves the doctor injecting the patient’s own blood plasma under the skin. Thanks to an increase in the number of fibroblasts, self-rejuvenation processes are launched: collagen and elastin begin to be synthesized more actively, which leads to increased skin elasticity, tightening of the oval, eliminating visible wrinkles and a general improvement in the patient’s appearance.

Plasmolifting is a course procedure with a cumulative effect, the optimal number of sessions is up to 6-10.

Question answer

Of course, this will only enhance the effect.
Many cosmetologists also advise combining hardware cosmetology and anti-aging injections (for example, botulinum therapy, mesotherapy, etc.) If the procedure is performed by an experienced doctor, then there is no need to be afraid, as there will be no pain. Mostly, patients note a slight tingling sensation.

This manipulation should be performed when solar activity decreases. Often, cosmetologists advise applying for a course in October-November.

Massage

One of the most traditional, but no less effective options for skin rejuvenation is massage. Some doubt its results, but they exist and, believe me, they are very impressive. The fact is that, through certain sequences of movements, the massage therapist forces the facial muscles to work, toning them. Following the strengthening of the muscle frame, the skin is also tightened. Among other things, massage helps solve a lot of related problems: improves complexion, removes toxins, reduces swelling of tissues, removes dark circles under the eyes. And this procedure itself is very pleasant and relaxing.

Before you try a new procedure

Before deciding on one of the very popular and expensive procedures, experts advise learning as much as possible about it, including reading reviews from professional cosmetologists and beauty salon clients. It is equally important to analyze whether this particular procedure is suitable for your skin type. Well, in order not to overpay, you can try to find a cheaper alternative.

Hardware rejuvenation

Hardware cosmetology can rightfully be an alternative to injection techniques and massage, especially since specialists have a huge selection of techniques. For example, here you can recommend RF lifting sessions, laser, ultrasound or photorejuvenation procedures. The operating principles of these techniques are different, but the effect is largely similar: eliminating a network of wrinkles and deep skin creases, improving tissue nutrition by activating microcirculation, reducing pigmentation, stimulating fibroblasts and reducing collagen fibers, which provides skin tightening with a prolonged effect.

Results

1. Hardware cosmetology allows you to quickly improve the condition of the skin without redness, scars, scars, or significant pain.
2. Hardware lifting is a physical procedure based on the principles of the effects of various types of energy.
3. To maintain youthful skin, you should repeat the course of hardware treatment at the frequency recommended by your doctor.
4. When choosing a clinic or salon, special attention should be paid to the qualifications of the doctor and the availability of a license to conduct such procedures. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with surgical facelift in this material.

Mesothreads

When the methods described above do not help, or there are contraindications to their use, you can try another option - mesothreads. This procedure is low-traumatic, but gives a pronounced effect that is stable for several years.

The essence of the technique is to install special polyester threads made from biodegradable (self-absorbable) material under the skin. The threads have a certain design: along their entire length, at a distance from each other, they have small notches. Thus, when mesothreads are inserted under the skin, it is, as it were, strung on them and tightened.

For the first few months, the threads play the role of a frame that supports the skin and thereby provides a pronounced lifting effect. When the threads dissolve, connective tissue remains in their place - this is a natural framework. It should be remembered that the procedure is performed under anesthesia, it has a certain recovery period and some contraindications, so the decision to install mesothreads should be made only by a competent cosmetologist with the appropriate qualifications.

Ultrasonic facial liposuction

Due to excess weight, jowls and a double chin can appear even in young girls. In addition, nasolabial folds become more noticeable. All this deforms the lower part of the face. It also visually adds a few extra years.

Removing fat deposits allows you to return your face to its original features. This can be done using ultrasonic liposuction. It destroys only fat cells and does not affect other tissues.

During the procedure, the doctor makes several thin punctures. There are no scars or scars left. Within five days the swelling completely subsides.

Ultrasonic liposuction is one of the best hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation, as it allows you to solve the problem of sagging cheeks and a fuzzy oval, as well as a double chin. In addition, the procedure stimulates the formation of collagen fibers, which are responsible for skin elasticity.

Blepharoplasty

The effect of facial rejuvenation can be achieved in a slightly different way, for example, by affecting the skin around the eyes. It is known that wrinkles appear in this area first and the skin loses its elasticity. Because of this, it gradually begins to move, hanging in an ugly fold over the upper eyelid and thereby making the look heavy and age-related.

The situation can be corrected not only surgically by removing a small piece of skin, but also by conservative methods. For example, through laser blepharoplasty, which leads to tissue reduction and tightening.

The advantages of eyelid lift are that the operation is considered the least traumatic, has a short rehabilitation period, but at the same time gives a pronounced effect, removing 10-15 years of age.

• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• skin diseases in problem areas;
• increased body temperature for any reason;
