The effectiveness of the method
Radio frequency rejuvenation (radio wave) is a type of material cosmetology procedure. With the help of a special device, the cosmetologist directs the radio frequency pulses to the problem, causing the temperature to rise in the inner layers of the skin to 42-60 degrees. The created conditions activate the metabolic processes and the mechanism of fiber renewal, the synthesis of its own collagen, the process of natural rejuvenation of the skin.
Indications for the use of radio frequency radiation are:
- expression and age wrinkles.
- strong nasolabial folds.
- signs of ptosis, soft tissue prolapse.
- skin photography?
- bags under the eyes.

RF lifting is considered a gentle technique, so it is used safely to solve problems in sensitive areas around the eyes and mouth.
Age does not matter for RF rejuvenation, butCosmetologists recommend the procedure in patients over 30 years.During this period there is a decrease in skin resistance to age-related changes, the rapid appearance of wrinkles, the accessories require additional support.
At the same time, RF radiation cannot correct the complex problems of mature skin. In this case, rf lifting is defined as an auxiliary procedure for the oil lifting technology, eyelid surgery, SMAS.
Can be run at home
Rejuvenating the face using special equipment requires special skills, professionalism, cosmetologists are first subjected to appropriate training and practice. This is why RF-lifting is the prerogative of beauty salons, beauty salons and clinics.

To do RF rejuvenation at home, you can not do it without the cost of buying a portable RF lifting machine. It is light and easy to move.
Device types
Devices for hoisting radio frequencies by design are divided into fixed and portable.Fixed devices are used only for professional exhibition, installed in clinics, beauty salons. They have a relatively large mass and dimensions.
Portable devices are compact, easy to carry, so they are more convenient for lifting at home. Portable devices consist of a component (handle) and a main part (power supply).
In addition to design features,all equipment is divided according to the number of electrodes and its exposure technology:
- monopolar- 2 electrodes are used: one is under the patient, the second is represented by a nozzle, the problem is working. Such devices are powerful, capable of heating the inner layers of the skin up to 60 degrees.
- bipolar- 2 electrodes are also used, but both are on the handle (tip). This result is softer, cheaper. The maximum skin heating temperature is 45 degrees.
- multipolar or multipolar devices- involve the use of 3 or more electrodes, which alternate the polarity. This technology allows a deep and uniform effect on the problem. The
- matrixis a new generation radio frequency report. Its peculiarity lies in the microfiber electrodes. Needle lifting is a mild, extremely safe method, and in terms of effectiveness in many cases is comparable to a monopolar effect.
- combined or complex- such devices combine both radio frequency radiation and other types of energy (for example, infrared radiation, laser beam).
Preparing for lifting
Raising radio frequencies does not require complicated and lengthy preparation.The procedure is painless, so there is no need for anesthesia and the use of anesthetic creams.
If you want to achieve the maximum result of the procedure without swelling, hyperemia and other side effects, cosmetologists recommend 1-2 weeks before the removal of the radiofrequency, to exclude any skin injuries, such as sunburn, acne removal andof peels and the use of exfoliation.
