Lifting is a synonym for various cosmetic procedures aimed at tightening the skin. This includes plastic surgery and numerous non-invasive procedures, from medication (injection) to equipment therapy.
According to beauticians and people who use hardware lifts for rejuvenation, this is one of the few non-surgical methods for effective sealing, which has a long-lasting effect and significantly improves skin health (including anti-inflammatory effect) without causing significant side effects.
As a maintenance treatment for ptosis (ptosis) of skin areas with the onset of age-related changes, lift lifting is intended for patients over 25 years of age (gender does not matter) in the form of regular short courses.
For men, the procedure will help to deal with fat deposits in the chin and neck area, to restore the silhouette in the case of obesity with shingles.
What is a radio wave lift?
RFlifting (or RFlifting) on the face and body is the treatment of age-related changes based on the radio wave method to heat the deep layers of skin (skin and subcutaneous tissue) under the epidermis (surface layer).
The essence of the method is the point effect of radio waves on the most sensitive areas, where cells and sacs are most often formed, ie characterized by age-related analogue. These are the areas of the face - forehead, temples, cheeks, nasolabial triangle, chin and neck to the thyroid cartilage; and abdomen - abdomen, inner thighs, sides (above the hipbone). Radio waves are also used all over the body.
As a result of deep heating at different temperatures (depending on the area and sensitivity of the skin) the oily substrate thins, the blood vessels expand again and again and with the acceleration of blood flow the metabolism in the skin is accelerated. But the main thing is the transformation that takes place with collagen: it changes its structure - long stretched fibers that connect the dermis and epidermis shrink and the skin regains firmness and elasticity. After 21 days, new collagen begins to be mass-produced, giving a long-lasting effect.
As a result, "flies" harden noticeably, eyebrows rise, nosebleeds become less prominent, acne and stretch marks flatten and shrink. The orange berry effect disappears. The skin becomes more elastic to the touch, the complexion evens out: the shadows under the eyes are brighter, the yellow blush is replaced by pink.

The RF face and body lifting method can be performed in different settings depending on the device type and settings. The difference lies in the power (and temperature generated in the skin) and the polarity of the device.
- Inject.Works equally on selected skin layers at the same depth. It has the strongest effect and consequently the highest temperature (50-60OC). This device should not be used on delicate skin areas, including the area around the eyes (crow's feet only). Suitable for treating cellulite as part of body shaping
- Bipolar disorder.Polarity can be changed to reduce power and temperature (up to 45)OC), therefore the appliance is suitable for sensitive areas. Does not form a magnetic field
- Triple poles (triple poles).The latest generation of lifting equipment with constant polarity. The softest setting with the lowest temperature and highest processing speed. Suitable for all skin types (even for RF eye lifts), can be used all over the body. Absolutely painless
RF and heat lift - what's the difference?
Heat lift (temperature) is most commonly referred to as high-power RF body lift (ie, the performance of a single device). Temperature effect reaches 60OC. With heat lifting, controlled damage to the skin triggers a strong immune response, so that after surgery, edema is more likely to develop.
Heat lift properties:
- Good results in the treatment of deep fat deposits (the radioactive capacity of radio waves with this method reaches 40 mm), but limited scope (can not be used to treat the eyes due to the risk of damage to the eyeball tissue)
- Short actions but high risk of discomfort
- Long list of contraindications
Features of RF lifting:
- Versatility
- Low energy
- Lack of perception and side effects
- Prolonged treatment
- The need for repetitive courses arises 1-2 times a year
pros
- Non-aggression. The operation does not leave a scar and does not create conditions that could be dangerous to health (preconditions for allergic reactions, infections, blood loss)
- Does not require special training, rehabilitation and adherence to a lifelong diet or other restrictive rules
- Seasonal. There are no restrictions on the operation during the summer, as the epidermis is not involved in the process
- Efficiency in different age groups regardless of gender. Tolerated equally well by men and women from 25 years to menopause
- Rapid action. The result is not only visible after one operation, but it is compiled during the course and intensifies over time (long-term effect)
- The accuracy of the stroke allows you to work from precisely demarcated areas
- Suitable for the whole body
- Can be used in complex renewal systems
Which suits
The RFlifting method has its own indications and limitations. Recommended by:
- To maintain skin tone until the first signs of fatigue and aging appear (but not earlier than 25 years)
- At the first signs of ptosis in the tissues (stroke of the eyelid, appearance of "missiles", "bags" under the eyes)
- For body shaping, facial contours
- As a treatment for cellulite (including as a way to fight obesity in the throat, bipolar)
- As part of a renewal complex
- To tighten the skin after rapid weight loss
- To improve skin pressure with general relaxation, reduce acne
- Elastic marks (elastic marks for various reasons)
- Expression lines and folds
- Couperosis of the face, legs
Contraindications:
- Tissue diseases
- Acute period of viral or bacterial infection, exacerbation of chronic diseases
- Pregnancy, breast-feeding or menstruation
- Presence of prostheses, implants (including gold augmentation), pacemaker
- Concomitant patient receiving botox injections
- High blood pressure or severe hypertension
- Ulcers, eczema, active inflammation of the skin
- Cancer diseases
- Diabetes of any kind
- Age under 25 years
How is it done
- Before the operation, the patient should not use cosmetics - the skin should be dry and clean. Men need to shave well. When working on the eyelids and the area around the eyes, the use of contact lenses is not recommended
- At a beauty salon or clinic, the client is placed in a comfortable lying position on the sofa and covered with disposable sheets. The hair is collected under a hat
- First, the peeling of the facial skin is performed for the purpose of deep cleansing.
- Then an allergenic (neutral) conductive gel is applied
- The beautician begins to manipulate the device along strictly defined lines in the treated area, at the same time as he massages the skin.
- At the end of the operation, the skin is washed, a nourishing mask is applied to the face
The method of exposure is chosen individually according to the characteristics of the skin, the treatment area and the desired effect. Painful feelings rarely occur - during treatment, the client may experience tingling numbness of greater or lesser intensity, heat on the body surface in the work area of the device.
Before visiting a beauty salon, you must consult a dermatologist about the presence of contraindications.
Side effects and advice after the meeting
Immediately after the RF lift, the blood vessels dilate and fill with blood. As a result, redness of the treated area, feeling of heat and local increase in temperature are possible. These symptoms go away on their own within one to two days.
In the evening there may be a slight swelling, which does not require intervention. When working on large areas of the body to eliminate cells, it is appropriate to combine RF lifting and lymphatic flow.
A rare long-term complication of the operation is connective tissue inflammation of the skin (abnormal proliferation of connective tissue due to excessive stimulation). It occurs when the method is abused or the beautician regularly does not conform to the temperature and duration of exposure.
Therefore, when choosing this rejuvenation method, you should carefully monitor the recommended interval between sessions, carefully choose a clinic, monitor the fitness and rating of the doctor.
On the first day after the session, the client must avoid:
- Bath visits
- Gym
- Solarium
How often should the operation be performed?
Radio lifting has a long-lasting effect and it is therefore sufficient to repeat the course 1-2 times a year. Each course will include about 4 sessions that are 15-20 minutes (depending on the treatment and body area, the session can be extended up to 2 hours) for clients under 50 years and about 6-8 operations for clients in menopause, where a. Hormonal changes lead to more persistent skin changes.
There must be at least 10 days between actions in one course (this interval can be extended to two weeks, but it cannot be shortened).
Advantages of having the operation at a professional health center:
- Innovative technology - triple pole RF lifting: soft, complex, painless effect
- Experienced beauticians and physiotherapists
- Consult a dermatologist before surgery
- Varied cosmetic services
- Individual selection of complex aging programs
