A worthy alternative to plastic surgery – fractional RF lifting

What's happened

Fractional radiolifting is an innovative method of skin rejuvenation using a special device. The device is equipped with a cartridge with needles coated with a thin layer of gold plating, due to which up to 25 punctures can be carried out simultaneously.

As the needles penetrate the dermal layers, a radio wave pulse occurs. The current will affect the depth that the specialist sets.

When the impulses reach the epithelial and connective layers, natural self-healing processes begin to activate, which is accompanied by an active contraction of collagen and elastin fibers. When trying to recover after current exposure, the natural process of rejuvenation at the cellular level is launched.

Thanks to the use of this technique, it becomes possible to restore firmness and elasticity to the skin, increase the tone of soft tissues, and eliminate cosmetic defects. At the same time, healthy cellular structures that do not require correction are not affected by the device.

Kinds

Three types of hardware devices have been developed to carry out radiofrequency lifting:

• monopolar - has only one electrode;
• bipolar – two;
• multipolar - correspondingly more than 2 electrodes.

Performing fractional RF lifting involves the use of only the second and third types of devices, since such devices make it possible to regulate the depth of penetration of the pulse into the dermal layers. Moreover, the greater the distance between the electrodes, the better the degree of impact is regulated.

Bipolar type devices are the most popular. In addition, their cost is several times lower compared to multipolar devices.

Also, two types of needles are used to perform fractional RF lifting.

Isolated

They provide current to a certain depth and promote local heating of soft tissues. This marks the launch of the synthesis of collagen and elastin in a certain area of ​​the dermis.

Non-insulated

Affect tissue throughout its entire depth. In most cases, such attachments are used if it is necessary to remove deep wrinkles and scars.

Needles can also be of different densities. For RF lifting, attachments with 25 microneedles are more popular.

Operating principle of RF lifting

The skin of young people is plastic and elastic due to the large amount of protein fibers it contains.
With age, collagen and elastin undergo structural changes: they lengthen and separate, and intermolecular bonds break. Crosslinks may form between the molecules of neighboring fibers, therefore reducing their elasticity and elongation. Hardware cosmetology will help launch the processes of regeneration and synthesis of new proteins. Microneedle fractional RF lifting Infini is a worthy alternative to invasive intervention. The rejuvenating effect is achieved through a new radiofrequency fractional microneedle system. The attachment creates microchannels in the skin using the finest needles, from the tips of which low-frequency waves are applied, causing tissue coagulation, which stimulates collagenogenesis.

The impact occurs locally, strictly in the area of ​​application of a set of 49 needles (16 for the eyes). All needles are insulated from each other with a silicone wrap, and their tips (free from polymer) are gold-plated. The depth of the puncture is adjusted by the cosmetologist: from 0.5 to 3.5 mm. Due to this structure, energy is concentrated at a certain given level of the skin layer, and is not scattered over the surface of the integument.

Indications

Fractional radio wave lifting is used to solve most cosmetic problems. Thus, it is recommended to perform it in the presence of the following indications:

• asymmetrical chin ;
• the formation of wrinkles , regardless of their severity;
• drooping of the cheeks ;
• inactive form of acne;
• cellulite;
• stretch marks on the body;
• scars ;
• dark spots;
• acne and post-acne;
• loss of firmness and elasticity of soft tissues.

The technique also gives good results when there is a tendency to develop severe water swelling.

Features of Infini 3D lifting:

• The procedure is indicated for any skin type.
• An integrated approach to rejuvenation and correction of skin defects (pigment, post-acne, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, etc.).
• The effect lasts for a long period.
• The procedure has no age or seasonal restrictions.
• Quick rehabilitation period (1-3 days).
• No hyperpigmentation.

How often should the needle RF lifting procedure be done?

Rf lifting Infini should be done in a course: 1 time per month, 2-4 procedures

, depending on the condition of the skin and what problems need to be solved.

Contraindications

Despite its safety and high effectiveness, fractional RF lifting has its own certain limitations, under which this rejuvenation method will be refused.

Infini lifting is recommended for correcting the following problems:

• age-related skin changes;
• photoaging;
• uneven relief and color of the dermis;
• decreased skin turgor;
• gravitational ptosis of facial tissues (jowls, changes in contour, asymmetry);
• hyperhidrosis (increased sweating);
• acne and post-acne;

Microneedling fractional RF lifting

Infini has a number of absolute and time restrictions for its implementation. The procedure is absolutely contraindicated if the patient has the following conditions:

• oncological diseases;
• pregnancy (regardless of duration);
• connective tissue diseases and tendency to scar formation;
• presence of an artificial heart pacemaker;
• previously installed permanent fillers;
• diabetes;

• mental illness and epilepsy.

Temporary contraindications involve removing the patient from manipulation until recovery. Such problems include: acute respiratory diseases, wounds and irritations on the treated area, acute acne. The final decision on admission or exclusion from the procedure is within the competence of the cosmetologist.

Preparation

In order for cosmetic manipulation to be as successful as possible and with minimal complications, you need to properly prepare for it.

First of all, you must first visit a specialist who will carefully examine and evaluate the condition of the skin in the problem area, determine the amount of work required, and conduct a certain medical examination that will help identify the presence of hidden contraindications or confirm their absence.

If there are no obstacles, a date is set for radiofrequency rejuvenation.

At the preparatory stage, it is also important to follow a number of rules, which will allow you to achieve the desired result and reduce the risk of side effects.

A few days before the procedure, it is advisable to stop smoking and drinking alcohol. You also need to limit physical activity and refrain from visiting baths, saunas, solariums and exposing your skin to direct sunlight.

Progress

The entire process involves performing several sequential actions.

First, the remnants of decorative cosmetics, particles of dirt and dust, as well as sebaceous secretions are removed from the surface of the skin using an antiseptic. Additional cleansing procedures are also performed, but they should not injure the epidermis. Thus, for oily skin types, a superficial peeling is suitable; for dry skin types, a mild scrub or a special mask is suitable.

To eliminate the discomfort that the patient may experience during treatment, an anesthetic cream is applied to the surface of the skin.

To maximize the penetration of pulsed particles into the layers of the dermis, the surface of the problem area, if necessary, is treated with a special conductive gel.

Next, the specialist, using the device, begins to influence the skin, while he makes 1 to 3 passes over one zone.

As a result, fatty tissue and muscle fibers heat up. In this case, the former begin to dissolve under the influence of high temperatures, and the latter, on the contrary, begin to become denser. Thanks to the microdamages that remain after the needles, the processes of restoration of your own collagen and elastin, and, consequently, renewal, are launched.

After the procedure, a soothing agent is applied to the treated surface. This can be a nourishing cream or mask.

How does the procedure work?

RF lifting

Infini requires no prior preparation. Before the manipulation, a consultation is held with a specialist who determines the need for the procedure, identifies contraindications and answers the patient’s questions regarding the technology. The procedure can be divided into the following stages:

1. Preparing the skin.

The doctor cleanses the skin of decorative cosmetics and existing contaminants. After this, an anesthetic cream is applied (most often with lidocaine) and topical anesthesia is performed. Depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and the degree of pathology, the specialist selects the required depth of penetration of the needle system deep into the skin, as well as the power and time of the pulse.

2. Main stage.

INFINI radio wave lifting is carried out with an individual sterile attachment with needles. The work area is disinfected with an antiseptic solution, after which the cosmetologist smoothly moves the handpiece over the problem area and carries out the treatment at a certain depth. After treatment is completed, the skin is disinfected again.

3. To reduce discomfort after exposure to radio waves, a cooling mask is applied.
4. In order to accelerate the regeneration of damaged integuments, they are treated with restorative creams.
5. Rehabilitation period.

After exposure (with high sensitivity), slight swelling and hyperemia of the skin in the treatment area may be observed. Symptoms of irritation usually subside within a few hours. For a speedy recovery, the doctor will give some tips for home care:

— apply regenerating creams with panthenol or aloe vera;

— limit the use of decorative cosmetics for several days;

- do not massage or peel in the area exposed to radio waves for two weeks;

- do not visit the sauna, solarium, or beach for up to three weeks;

- avoid sun exposure.

To obtain a lasting, long-lasting effect, 1 to 3 procedures are required with an interval of 30 days. The result lasts up to 2 years. Using the complex effects of fractional and radiofrequency rejuvenation allows you to achieve the following effects:

1. Skin lifting: eliminating its sagging by reducing the length of fibrillar protein molecules and eliminating intermolecular breaks.
2. Intense hydration: thanks to stimulation of the production of hyaluronate, which has the ability to absorb large amounts of water and create its depot inside the tissues.
3. Normalization of elasticity: due to restoration of the structure of connective tissue and stimulation of elastin production.

After care

In general, fractional radio wave lifting does not require a special rehabilitation period. As a rule, complete healing is observed already on the third day. For this reason, this technique is also called the weekend procedure.

However, in order to maintain and strengthen the effect, the skin must be properly cared for until it is completely restored.

In the first few hours after completion of the manipulation, it is not recommended to touch the treated areas with your hands, as well as to exert any mechanical force on them. In addition, for a certain period of time it is prohibited to take hot baths, visit the bathhouse, sauna, solarium, or sunbathe in direct sunlight. Before going outside, areas exposed to radio wave particles should be treated with a special product with a high degree of protection.

You will also have to give up smoking and drinking alcohol during the recovery period. It is recommended to spend more time walking in the fresh air, but do not forget about protective measures.

For faster skin renewal, a specialist may recommend using certain skin care products with a soothing and moisturizing effect.

Complications

Despite the safety of fractional radio wave lifting, after it is carried out, the occurrence of various side effects should not be completely ruled out. Moreover, such manipulation is considered so unpredictable that it is not possible to accurately predict the consequences.

Immediately after performing the rejuvenating technique, redness, swelling, itching and mild soreness may appear in the affected areas. Such phenomena are considered normal, since after 3-4 hours they go away on their own.

In rare cases, more serious complications may occur in the form of burns, subcutaneous hemorrhages, scarring and increased pigmentation. As a rule, the reason for the appearance of such symptoms in most cases is the cosmetologist’s failure to follow the technique of the procedure, or the patient’s ignoring all the recommendations of the rehabilitation period.

If the side effects listed above persist for 2-4 days or more, in addition, their severity only intensifies, you should immediately seek medical help. The doctor will conduct a thorough examination, identify the true cause of this condition and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Advantages and disadvantages

Fractional RF lifting is very popular and has already been tried by many women. However, before choosing this particular cosmetic procedure, you need to carefully study all its positive and negative sides.

Advantages

First of all, it is worth noting that the device used to solve cosmetic problems does not cause mechanical damage to the skin. This, in turn, significantly reduces the risk of infection penetrating the dermal layers and developing consequences.

Depending on the severity of the problem and the wishes of the client, the cosmetologist has the opportunity to independently select the depth of impact on the treated areas.

It should also be noted that during the procedure there is no damage to those cells that should not be involved.

To obtain the desired result, it is enough to complete a course consisting of a maximum of four sessions, while when using other similar techniques, at least 10 procedures may be required.

Due to the gentle effect of radio wave particles, tissue structures are not damaged when heated.

Fractional radiolifting can be used for any skin type and regardless of the time of year.

During the work, the patient will not experience any discomfort, since an anesthetic gel is first applied to the surface of the problem area.

In addition, the advantage of the procedure is that it does not require a long recovery period. In the absence of complications, complete healing of the skin is noted already on the third or fourth day.

Thanks to heat treatment, the natural processes of production of collagen and elastin fibers are activated, which, in turn, promotes regeneration at the cellular level.

The first results can be observed after just one session.

Flaws

Despite the large list of positive aspects, fractional RF lifting still has a number of significant disadvantages.

First of all, it should be noted that such a cosmetic procedure is considered expensive. If the patient's skin is hypersensitive, then even with the use of an anesthetic, she may experience discomfort.

Despite the fact that the epidermis quickly recovers after treatment, you will still have to follow certain instructions from a specialist for some time.

Advantages of RF lifting using the Scarlet device

In many respects, the painless effect of radio waves is superior to operations and chemical procedures that act on the principle of a burn:

• long-lasting effect - needles and radio waves trigger active collagen production, and the effect will only progress and intensify over time;
• no rehabilitation required - in rare cases, slight swelling and redness are possible, but the face quickly returns to normal, so there is no need to take a vacation and spend time at home;
• compatibility with other procedures - biorevitalization, chemical peeling, bioreinforcement, mesotherapy and Botox injections - RF lifting can be combined with other techniques to achieve a better effect;
• safety – specialists continuously monitor the procedure; microneedles affect a limited area of ​​skin without touching nearby areas.

Thermolifting Scarlet brings results after the first session. In just a few procedures, a comprehensive improvement of the skin and prevention of its aging is achieved: exposure to radio frequencies solves problems of varying severity and neglect.

RF face lift

Radiofrequency face lifting is a hardware method of skin rejuvenation; during the procedure, intercellular membranes are stimulated, which in turn leads to the production of collagen and elastin. The skin becomes more elastic, facial features improve, look at examples of photos before and after the RF lifting procedure.

The procedure is suitable for any skin type and combines well with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as Intraceuticals needle-free mesotherapy. Anti-age programs can use a combination of RF lifting with injection rejuvenation procedures. Thus, biorevitalization of the face with hyaluronic acid before the RF course is carried out to increase hydration, prepare the skin for radiofrequency lifting procedures and accelerate regeneration.

The effect is visible immediately after the first procedure, and when completing a course of RF facial lifting, you can get a prolonged result. Radio wave lifting is most effective for tightening the oval of the face, décolleté and neck, as well as the skin around the eyes, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks and nasolabial folds. Recently, RF lifting has become increasingly used to rejuvenate the skin on the abdomen and thighs.

RF body lifting

RF body lifting is aimed at imparting tone, elasticity to the skin and smoothing out uneven surfaces, helping to reduce fat deposits. Removes stretch marks, stretch marks, tightens the skin due to the penetration of needles; this is the main difference between Scarlet and conventional RF systems. The procedure does not require rehabilitation and has a very powerful prolonged effect.
