Hardware cosmetology at home – is this option possible? Many people have asked this question, since any woman dreams of maintaining her own youth and attractiveness. Modern cosmetology has stepped far forward. And specialists in this field offer many procedures. Such manipulations not only smooth out wrinkles, but also have a beneficial effect on the skin, making it elastic and smooth. If you don’t have time to visit salons, then you can take advantage of all the benefits of hardware cosmetology at home. To use the devices, no special skills are required, but it is worth remembering the indications and contraindications for such procedures.

What is hardware cosmetology?

This section of cosmetology includes a number of manipulations. To eliminate age-related changes and combat aesthetic defects, special equipment is used. Its impact extends not only to the upper, but also to the deep faults of the epidermis. The procedures contribute, for example, to the decomposition of fatty tissues, cell restoration, increased synthesis of hyaluronic acid and collagen fibers, and activation of blood circulation.

By the way, reviews from women who have personally experienced the effects of modern equipment confirm its high efficiency.

Cosmetic devices for home use will be an excellent alternative to plastic surgery and injection techniques.

Procedures using special devices help achieve, for example, the following results:

• eliminating fine wrinkles and reducing the severity of deep folds;
• reducing pore size, removing acne, blackheads;
• even out complexion;
• giving the skin smoothness and elasticity;
• removal of excess vegetation on the body;
• facelift;
• combating signs of cellulite, strengthening the muscular system.

From messages on thematic forums you can find out that the effect obtained depends on the type and power of the equipment. To correct aesthetic imperfections, sessions should be repeated regularly.

The most effective facelift procedures

There are many techniques used to perform a facelift:

• Radiesse
• RF needle lifting
• Laser resurfacing
• Thermolifting
• Temporal thread lifting
• Correction with liquid threads
• Massage
• SMAS lifting

The Idealist Clinic uses only proven technologies with proven effectiveness and safety. It is better to choose the method by which a non-surgical facelift will be performed with an experienced cosmetologist who will first assess the condition of your skin. Sign up for a consultation on anti-age therapy and aging prevention by calling the number, the consultation will be free for you.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a specific dermal filler that is used for non-surgical face lifting and provides long-term results. The drug replenishes lost volume on the face and stimulates the production of its own collagen. The procedure lasts from 30 to 60 minutes and does not cause discomfort to the client. A distinctive feature of this technique is that the drug does not cause swelling, since it does not contain hyaluronic acid.

Principles of the drug:

• instant smoothing of wrinkles due to volume replenishment
• stimulating the production of your own collagen, leaving the skin smooth
• the formation of a new dermal matrix, which is supported by the drug, due to which the effect lasts for 1-2 years

The Idealista clinic will help determine whether this procedure is suitable for the client. Cosmetologists will select the optimal method only after carefully studying the structure of the skin.

RF needle lifting

Needle radiofrequency fractional lifting is a technique using radio frequencies that penetrate the skin and have a stimulating effect on collagen. By heating the deep layers of the skin, metabolism improves and fibroblasts are activated to produce collagen. The technique does not give an immediate visible effect, but helps to obtain a lasting result using the body’s own strength.

Positive changes:

• improvement of skin tone
• restoration of elasticity
• smoothing skin texture
• wrinkle smoothing

In Idealist cosmetology, the micro-needle RF lifting procedure is carried out using the Scarlet S device. This is one of the three top devices in the micro-needle RF lifting technique, which allows you to accurately predict the depth of penetration and achieve an ideal result.

Laser resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a procedure using a fractional erbium laser that allows you to renew the upper layers of the skin and stimulate the production of your own collagen.

Effects of the technique:

• facial contour restoration
• improving skin elasticity and tone
• wrinkle correction
• elimination of sagging in the area of ​​the upper and lower eyelids
• restoration of skin relief
• smoothness improvement

Thanks to the use of a premium Palomar erbium laser made in the USA and highly qualified cosmetologists, the procedure is painless and safe and does not have a long rehabilitation period.

Temporal thread lifting

A facelift with special threads is an effective procedure for improving facial contours. For this, safe, hypoallergenic materials are used, which not only support the facial frame, but also trigger the processes of producing your own collagen.

Only a doctor can determine the need for such a procedure. Therefore, sign up for a consultation at Idealista so that experienced cosmetologists can choose the optimal facelift method for you.

Infrared thermolifting

The essence of infrared thermolifting (IR lifting) is similar to radio frequency. The effect is achieved by heating the deep layers of the skin. Only for this purpose infrared rays are used. To avoid overheating of the skin, the cosmetologist uses a special cooling gel. The effect of thermolifting becomes noticeable gradually, since the processes of collagen and elastin production take time.

Face massage

Facial massage is an affordable method of rejuvenation that does not require large financial costs, and also has a general healing effect. A course of professional facial massage helps improve skin tone, reduce the severity of wrinkles and creases, and improve complexion.

There are several techniques for rejuvenating facial massage, which include:

• modeling lymphatic drainage
• deep plasticizing
• modeling author's
• classical
• Chinese jar and others

Facial massage to tighten facial skin is carried out strictly along massage lines. To improve the effect, anti-aging oils or serums are applied to previously cleansed skin. The advantage of the procedure is painlessness, lack of trauma to the skin, versatility, and the ability to combine massage with other injection or hardware techniques. After the session, redness of the skin is noted, but after 30 minutes the shade returns to normal and you can return to everyday activities.

Liquid threads

Liquid face lift threads are a mixture of hyaluronic acid and zinc, which makes it more durable and dense. They are injected into the subcutaneous fat using thin needles at predetermined locations.

SMAS lifting

SMAS lifting is an ultrasound method aimed at tightening the superficial muscular aponeurotic system of the face (Superficial muscular aponeurotic system). The essence of the procedure is to warm up the connective tissue to 60-70 degrees, which, under the influence of heat, begins to produce its own collagen.

10 contraindications

Many representatives of the fair sex improve their appearance with the help of modern equipment, as the effect is amazing. But before you buy this or that device, you need to make sure there are no contraindications.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. Malignant neoplasms, since the effect of hardware techniques can stimulate cell growth and worsen the condition of patients.

Types of devices for face and body care at home

Today it is difficult to surprise someone with the methods of hardware cosmetology, since new technologies have already become part of everyday life. Special manipulations are aimed at quickly and painlessly cleansing pores, tightening the skin, reducing the severity of wrinkles and solving other problems.

By the way, the price of these hardware procedures in salons is quite high, but performing them at home will cost much less.

To do this, just buy a suitable device in an online store. In addition, in beauty salons you will have to pay for each person, but at home, all household members will be able to use the devices.

Units intended for skin care are classified depending on their operating principle:

1. Microcurrent therapy devices.
2. Ultrasonic devices.
3. Vacuum units.
4. Devices for darsonvalization.

Features of body care

You can also take care of your body at home, for example, using special brushes. The long handle, like the Beurer FC 25, allows you to cleanse the skin on your back, and the FC 55 Pureo Complete Cleansing brush comes with two attachments: a regular brush and an exfoliating brush.

Anti-cellulite massagers will help to significantly improve the condition of your skin. They effectively combat the appearance of “orange peel”, stimulate lymph flow and blood supply, accelerate cell regeneration and give skin elasticity. For this purpose, the Beurer CM 50 massagers with special rollers and adjustable massage speed, the Cellulite Releazer compact, which tightens deep tissues and promotes the breakdown of fat, as well as the MG17, a mini SPA massager with a peeling attachment that is convenient to take with you on trips, are suitable.

Operating principle of cosmetic devices

When it comes to choosing a suitable device, questions often arise about what to choose to improve your appearance, what is best suited to solve each specific problem.

The ideal option would be a consultation with a specialist who will examine the condition of the epidermis and recommend a suitable cosmetic device for home use.

Microcurrent or galvanic devices affect small blood vessels located in the skin. As a result, blood circulation improves and cells receive more oxygen and nutrients. In addition, metabolic products are eliminated faster, and the aging process slows down. Collagen production is stimulated, which improves skin firmness and elasticity. Thanks to the acceleration of cell division, tissue renewal is activated. All this ultimately leads to an improvement in complexion, smoothing out small wrinkles, increasing the clarity of contours, and tightening the oval of the face.

By the way, weak electrical impulses provide a pronounced lifting effect. They accelerate the movement of active substances in cells. It is for this reason that galvanic devices are used to perform mesotherapy without injections.

With the help of microcurrents, rejuvenating and nourishing components penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, while simultaneously strengthening the facial muscles, toning and tightening the oval of the face. Microcurrent devices can be used to correct not only the face, but also the neck, décolleté and other areas of the body. Ultrasonic devices provide gentle massage and cleansing. They quickly eliminate dead epidermal cells and smooth the surface of the skin. Ultrasound procedures are effective against acne and blackheads. Such manipulations will be a worthy alternative to salon peeling, as the effect pleases many.

In addition, some regimens accelerate cellular turnover and collagen production. Another advantage of ultrasound therapy is the lymphatic drainage effect and elimination of swelling.

Devices for vacuum facial cleansing at home quickly remove sebaceous plugs, have lymphatic drainage and massage effects, and improve appearance. Consumer reviews in 2022 or 2018 will help you decide what to choose for yourself and what effect to expect from the purchased device.

All massagers have general rules that must be followed if you want to get noticeable and quick results.

Read the instructions

before use. Each model has its own characteristics that can affect the result. Carefully read the recommendations and procedure diagram before starting it.

After this, prepare the skin for massage

.

• Completely remove makeup from your face, both decorative and skincare.
• Wash your skin thoroughly.
• Steam your face.
• Apply cream or special cosmetics for a specific type of massager (except vacuum - for it the skin must be clean).

Follow the sequence of movements
during the massage - chaotic movements will not give the desired effect. Guide the massager according to the instructions. Movements should be smooth without putting too much pressure on the skin.

There is a pattern of massage movements that is suitable for any device:

1. The first movement occurs in the direction from the chin to each ear in turn.
2. The next one is from the lower lip to the ear along the cheekbones.
3. Next - from the right temple to the nose, from the nose to the left temple.
4. Then move from the middle of the forehead to each temple in turn.
5. Afterwards, from the inner corners of the eyes to the temples and back.

The duration of one procedure usually does not exceed 10–15 minutes.

It is best to massage a few hours before bedtime - in the evening and at night the skin recovers better and more actively.

How often can I use it?

Facial massage with a massager does not need to be done too often. 3 times a week is enough. On average, it is recommended to spend 1 minute on each area of ​​the face. The main thing is not to overdo it, follow the recommendations and carry out the procedures regularly. This way you will notice the result faster.

Although you can see bright advertisements for these devices, you should not forget that their effect cannot be compared with salon manipulation. People want a lot from a home device, but in the end the result does not satisfy them. Although initially it is worth understanding that fundamental changes will not happen, although there are benefits from home hardware cosmetology.

Aisha Baron

I would advise using such devices, for example, as a complement to other procedures.
Continue to take care of your face, remove makeup, use creams, visit a cosmetologist, and use similar devices to improve the effect. It is not necessary to run to the salon to transform your appearance, since there are a lot of different home devices. They are easy to use, for example, for a facelift or to eliminate some defects. As a result, you can noticeably improve your appearance and become younger.
