Radio body lifting: what is it?
The method is based on electromagnetic radiation with high frequencies. During safe manipulation, the skin is warmed up with radiofrequency energy.
Elevated temperatures when exposed to the skin thicken and compress weakened elastin and collagen fibers. At the same time, high temperature stimulates the vital activity of fibroblasts and increases blood circulation.
It leads to:
- reducing the severity of wrinkles;
- increasing the elasticity of the epidermis;
- increase in metabolic processes;
- activation of collagen synthesis.
Along the way, RF lifting copes with the accelerated decomposition of fatty tissue and normalizes the movement of lymph.
The essence of the technique: how does thermolifting work?
The main indication for thermolifting is age-related skin changes, the signs of which become clearly visible in patients starting from 30-35 years of age. The method is based on heating the deep layers of the dermis, including the papillary and reticular layers, while the surface of the epidermis remains intact (not damaged). The effect of heat on loose fibrous papillae, penetrating into the basal layer and basement membrane of the epidermis, can significantly improve the trophism of epidermal tissues and trigger active cellular renewal processes. The composition of the papillary layer of the skin is dominated by fibroblasts and fibrocytes, therefore, when exposed to heat at this level, the synthesis of a new collagen layer is actively stimulated.
Warming up the mesh layer also has a positive effect on the appearance and condition of the skin, since it contains the most powerful collagen fibers that make up the skin frame and determine its firmness and elasticity. This collagen primarily performs a supporting function, and its renewal allows you to increase the density of the skin, tighten its turgor and achieve a pronounced smoothing effect (getting rid of wrinkles and stretch marks).
The mechanism of action of thermolifting
A feature of the procedure and at the same time an important advantage over surgical methods of face and body lifting is not only the correction of visual defects (wrinkles, skin creases, gravitational ptosis, etc.), but also prolonged skin renewal at the cellular level by stimulating neocollagenesis and the synthesis of new fibroblasts.
Fibroblasts are the growth cells of connective fibers, which make up 90% of the skin, dermis, hypodermis and subcutaneous fat - the main structural components of human skin. These cells play an important role in maintaining the health and beauty of the skin, as they synthesize all the main components of the extracellular matrix: fibrils (precursors of elastin and collagen), proteoglycans, glycoproteins and mucopolysaccharides.
Important! Thermal energy during thermolifting reaches not only the lower layers of the dermis, but also the subcutaneous fat, so the procedure can be used to combat local fat deposits (for example, in the chin area) and external manifestations of cellulite (the so-called “orange peel”).
Deep impact on tissue allows you to eliminate local fat deposits
#5 main indications for performing the procedure
So, you already understand what it is – RF lifting. The method helps to rejuvenate the face and models the torso, as can be seen in the before and after photos, which will be presented below.
RF body lifting eliminates fat accumulation and tightens the skin.
With an extensive list of indications for radio wave therapy, there are five problems that are of greater concern to both males and females.
INDICATIONS
- loss of skin elasticity after sudden weight loss.
- cellulite, which changes the back, sides, and thighs for the worse.
- freckles and uneven skin – the hardware technique will help them too.
- stretched skin after pregnancy and breasts that have lost their girlish elasticity.
- scars and spots on the face from acne.
The most preferred age for Rf lifting is considered to be 30-40 years old, when the skin still has sufficient ability to regenerate and form collagen.
Moreover, in men the effect of the radio wave procedure is more tangible, since their skin density is higher than in women.
Indications for the procedure
Thermolifting can be used both as a preventive procedure for comprehensive care of the face and body (particularly good results are achieved in patients aged 30 to 40 years with the initial stages of skin aging), and used to treat various pathologies, for example, lipodystrophy.
In cosmetology and aesthetic medicine, the following pathologies and defects are indicated for thermal skin tightening:
- sagging and aging of the skin due to exposure to stress factors and age-related changes;
- deterioration of skin turgor;
- phenomena of gravitational ptosis (sagging cheeks, sagging of the lower part of the face in the neck and chin, excess skin in the area of the mobile eyelid);
- deficiency of soft tissues in the area of the zygomatic arch;
- various types of wrinkles (facial, dynamic, static, etc.);
- pronounced nasolacrimal groove and crow's feet in the corners of the eyes;
- dark circles and periorbital edema (“bags under the eyes”);
- local deposits of fat in the chin and neck (“double chin”), shoulders, arms, lower abdomen, thighs and buttocks;
- cellulite;
- stripe atrophoderma (stretch marks, skin defects in the form of stripes of flesh-colored, pink or burgundy).
One of the indications for thermolifting is cellulite.
Thermolifting not only has a tightening and general strengthening effect, but also improves circulation in blood and lymphatic vessels, stimulates local immunity and increases the trophic properties of the skin (improves the ability to heal wounds).
Note! If necessary, this type of lifting can be used to correct areas with particularly thin skin (eyelids, periorbital area, décolleté, inner shoulder, etc.).
RF body lifting (20 contraindications)
For hardware techniques, people turn to clinics and salons where highly professional specialists work. But an effective procedure is prohibited for those diagnosed with the problems listed below.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- hypertension, epilepsy;
- diabetes, herpes;
- oncology, inflammatory pathology;
- bleeding disorder, predisposition to keloid scarring;
- polycystic disease of important human organs.
Women are denied radiotherapy if they have endometriosis, fibroids, mastopathy, are pregnant or are breastfeeding.
Doctors do not undertake radiofrequency lifting if the body has an implant, pacemaker, or intrauterine device.
There is no need to take risks for those who have suffered a heart attack/stroke and have severely tanned skin.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that the procedure is safe, there are contraindications to its implementation. Thermal lifting cannot be carried out:
- during the period of bearing and breastfeeding a child;
- during menstruation;
- with hypertension in the second or third stage;
- with a pacemaker installed;
- for inflammatory and infectious diseases;
- in case of metabolic disorders;
- for tumors of various origins;
- for blood pathologies;
- for systemic diseases of an autoimmune nature.
Wave radiation can cause exacerbation of chronic inflammatory processes, provoke the growth of tumors and cause the progress of degenerative changes in organs. Therefore, before deciding on the procedure, it is worth visiting a doctor and undergoing preventive diagnostics.
#8 advantageous characteristics of RF lifting
RF body lifting has many advantages. And reviews from patients at clinics and salons confirm this. Among the advantages stand out:
- The procedure can be performed on all skin types.
- The procedure is painless – there is no need for anesthesia.
- Completely eliminates the occurrence of burns in the skin treatment area.
- No scars or bruises at the end of the event.
- Carrying out the procedure without the use of chemicals - the skin is rejuvenated using its own internal resources.
- There is no rehabilitation period - at the end of the RF lifting event, patients go home and lead their usual lifestyle.
- The occurrence of complications is minimized.
- Correction of a significant skin area in 1 session.
The minimum time for 1 session (only 20 minutes) and the number of necessary procedures for a course of treatment for skin aging (usually 10).
The effect of course RF lifting remains noticeable for more than one year. It is also a plus to perform the procedure without regard to the time of year.
Indications
The thermolifting process itself has a wide range of indications and is used to treat areas of the face and the whole body:
- Upper/lower eyelids (removal of excessive puffiness, bags and dark circles under the eyes, sagging effect).
- Cheekbones and cheeks (formation of a clear contour, tightening, elimination of wrinkles).
- Hands (reduce wrinkles, tissue rejuvenation, increase elasticity and tone the skin).
- Lips (creating a clear contour, eliminating facial wrinkles).
Thermolifting of the whole body is also in great demand among patients.
This technique can be used as part of a set of measures to combat excess weight, as well as as an independent method for eliminating stretch marks and scars.
Recommendations before and after the procedure
At the consultation before the manipulation, the doctor prescribes examinations to exclude contraindications for thermal effects.
Before performing the procedure, patients should not overload themselves with physical activity, but go directly to RF body lifting without jewelry, metal elements on clothing or eye lenses. It is also necessary to exclude other cosmetic procedures on the day of the procedure.
At the end of the radio wave event, patients:
- you should drink more water - this will allow the body to cleanse itself well of waste products;
- Do not subject the treated areas to scratching or rubbing;
- It is prohibited to visit the sauna/solarium for 3 days.
Following the recommendations will help you avoid unpleasant post-procedure troubles.

#5 stages of procedure
After making sure that there are no contraindications, the cosmetologist begins to perform the procedure.
- The patient sits on a couch and the skin surface is thoroughly cleaned. To achieve the best effect from RF body lifting, the specialist also uses light peeling.
- The next stage is the application of a special gel.
- Then the doctor uses a device to heat the skin and perform circular movements in the radio wave treatment area.
- The duration of heating is set based on the power of the device and the temperature of exposure. The greatest effect can be achieved at 50°C, and the “working” time of radio waves lasts several seconds. If a temperature lower than this is used, the warm-up time will be longer.
- The session, which does not cause discomfort, ends with the application of anti-cellulite gel - the product helps to enhance the effect of RF lifting.
Upon completion of the manipulation, the patient goes home, since he does not require hospitalization.
Features of the procedure
When visiting a beauty salon, many people are afraid of cosmetic devices and are afraid of painful sensations or defects. To overcome them, you need to mentally go through all the stages of the procedure, studying their nuances.
Execution steps
Thermolifting involves the following sequence of actions:
- Medical examination to identify the individual characteristics of the body and check for contraindications.
- Discussion of treated areas.
- Zone markings.
- Setting the settings on the device.
- Treatment of targeted areas with a special product.
- Smooth and completely painless heating using the nozzle. On average, processing one individual area takes approximately 20 minutes.
Apparatus and materials
Modern salons use mainly Russian thermolifting devices, since analogues from foreign manufacturers are much more expensive.
However, the latest devices (we are talking about foreign ones) are of higher quality and guaranteed effect.
Thermolifting devices:
- AirLax (Russia).

Find out in advance what equipment will be used in the salon where you are going to have a rejuvenation session, and what materials they use. The final result depends on this.
Question answer
It is not prohibited to go to the beach after RF lifting, because in this case there is no damage to the skin. After the session itself, redness is visible, but it disappears after a quarter of an hour. Bruises may also appear, since there is a vacuum, but they quickly disappear (after about a couple of days).
It is recommended to supplement this manipulation with physical exercise. As a result, you can get an excellent result. But if there is excess skin, only plastic surgery will help.
If you combine such manipulations, you can achieve a wonderful effect. After mesotherapy, at least 3 days should pass, after which you can safely go for RF lifting.
Methods of thermolifting
The concept of thermolifting itself is generalized. This procedure can be performed simultaneously in several ways. You can determine the best one for yourself in a preliminary consultation with your doctor. As for the different techniques, the following areas are distinguished:
- Cosmetic effect (implies the use of special cosmetic preparations, characterized by weak results and accessibility).
- Laser action (is the fastest and most effective).
- Radio wave action (the most popular, can be performed not only in a beauty salon, but also at home, with special equipment).
Let's look at each of the above types in more detail.
#5 devices for RF lifting
Stationary devices are large, powerful and productive.
Portable lifting units are small in size and each includes a power supply and a manipulator for treating the epidermis. Such equipment can be used at home.
You need to choose from lifting devices for your home, which are divided depending on the number of electrodes in the manipulator into bipolar, mono- and multipolar, matrix and combined.
- Bipolar installations for RF body lifting are focused on eliminating imperfections, mainly on the epidermis of the face. The radio waves in it act softly, the degree of heating does not go beyond 45°C. Bipolar products have 2 electrodes in 1 handpiece, which significantly reduces the likelihood of getting burns during the event. Lifting using a bipolar device must be performed in courses.
- Monopolar lifting devices are much more difficult to use compared to bipolar ones. They are suitable for getting rid of skin defects on the face and torso. Warming of the skin occurs at a temperature in the device of 60°C. Monopolar devices also have 2 electrodes: the 1st is placed under the patient’s shoulder blade/in her arm, the 2nd is intended for carrying out the actual manipulation. As a result, the energy of radio waves covers a significant area of the skin surface. Such devices eliminate stretch marks, cellulite, excess weight and do not require procedural duplicates.
- Multipolar mechanisms for RF lifting tighten the skin on the face and body in a bipolar and monopolar way. The devices operate using several electrodes (there are 3-20 of them), in which the poles are regularly changed during the session. Such an effect can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and achieve uniform heating.
- Matrix devices perform lifting using microneedle electrodes. This ensures penetration into various layers of the skin and guarantees the effect of volumetric 3D lifting. Matrix devices are as safe as bipolar ones, and as effective as monopolar ones.
- Combined devices combine the capabilities of several RF lifting options. For example, radio frequency and infrared, or radio frequency and laser, etc. are carried out together.
The use of radio wave frequencies in lifting eliminates age-related changes without the expected complications after surgery. Moreover, the result is noticeable after the 1st session. But a more lasting effect will appear during a course of treatment.
To carry out RF lifting on the body and face, we recommend a Korean-made 5 in 1 device – ReadySkin nanoSkin. Users note a beneficial effect on the skin and an effect comparable to salon cosmetology services.
Users soon notice a positive effect on the body: an effective effect on stretch marks, cellulite, and the device also helps in the fight against sagging and loss of skin elasticity.
Below are photos before and after RF lifting:
How to care for your skin after the procedure?
Thermolifting is a procedure that requires a certain recovery period, during which the patient must follow precautions and care recommendations.
- Products with a soothing and wound-healing effect (“Bepanten”, “D-panthenol”) should be applied to the skin 2-3 times a day.
- For 14 days, it is prohibited to use any products that can injure the skin: peelings, rollers, scrubs, products containing exfoliating particles.
- It is forbidden to engage in strength sports, swim in the pool, sleep with your face buried in a pillow (if the procedure was performed on the face) and be in an inclined position for a long time.
- You should avoid visiting the solarium, bathhouse, sauna and staying outside during the warm season for 1-2 weeks. Before leaving home at any time of the year, you should use protective equipment with a protection level of at least 30+.
In the first days after thermolifting, it is not recommended to rub, massage, or pat the skin. All daily care and cleansing procedures should be performed with light touches, avoiding too much force on the skin.
In the first days after the procedure, you need to touch the skin very carefully.
Possible side effects
Of course, it is worth understanding that after any cosmetic procedure a person runs the risk of experiencing side effects. RF tightening involves heating the surface of the skin, and this has a certain effect on it.
This is why the following side effects may occur:
- Edema. This problem is temporary, so don’t worry. Usually the swelling subsides within a couple of days. In this way the body reacts to thermal effects.
- Redness. During the procedure, there is an increase in blood flow to the area being treated. The redness disappears the same day.
- Loss of volume in the area that was treated. This happens because fat is burned. As a result, a depression is noticeable. But no need to worry as it should disappear.
The essence of thermolifting of the face
Thermolifting is a cosmetic procedure for which a special device is used. The device produces infrared rays or radio waves, which have a positive effect on the skin.
With their help, cell membranes are stimulated. After this, elastin and collagen are produced as intensively as possible.
Thermolifting involves launching natural rejuvenation mechanisms using infrared and radio frequency waves. After the session, collagen is produced for several months. After this, the manipulation must be repeated.
Advantages and disadvantages
Thermolifting is often used by women, as it has a number of advantages:
- painlessness,
- quick effect
- security.
During the session, the device does not come into direct contact with the deep layers of the epidermis, which eliminates the possibility of complications. The risks of an infectious process are minimized.
After thermolifting there is no need to undergo a rehabilitation period.
Manipulation is permitted regardless of the time of year. Thermolifting also has certain disadvantages. This procedure is expensive and inaccessible to a certain group of patients. It also has a number of contraindications.
What is thermolifting of the face, watch in this video:
Compatible with other procedures
Of course, after RF lifting you can see a wonderful result. But, of course, you want to achieve even more.
To do this, it is recommended to combine this procedure with other cosmetic procedures.
A better effect can be achieved if you also carry out mesotherapy, anti-cellulite massage, and body wraps.
Many doctors advise supplementing RF lift with plasma lifting. This is a procedure for injecting a person's own plasma.
Thermolifting at home
Naturally, we are not talking about using salon procedures on your own!
Attention! You can find advertisements online offering a technician to come to your home. Never agree to such services. Thermolifting can only be carried out by a certified specialist and in a hospital.
- To independently solve cosmetic problems, perfume companies offer special creams and serums.
- Reviews show that many women recommend Mary Kay eye serum.
- Naturally, you will not get a salon effect. But it will be possible to correct a number of shortcomings.
- The main thing is not to forget about proper care (taking into account age and skin type), do not neglect training, vitamins and control your water balance.
- In second place is Eveline modeling thermolifting.
- This cream acts not only on the face, but also on more complex areas (hips, stretch marks on the abdomen). The best effect is observed in the décolleté area.
Price of RF body lifting
It depends on the rating of the clinic/salon, the availability of the required equipment and the professionalism of the specialists working on it.
It is not difficult to find an experienced cosmetologist based on reviews, for example, from friends/relatives. And you should not immediately trust clinics where the price segment for manipulations is lower than in other medical institutions.
The price also depends on the area of heating, the type of lifting, and the number of sessions. The price range for 1 manipulation in St. Petersburg ranges from 300 to 5,500 rubles.
The course includes 10 sessions with an interval between procedures of 7 days.
Types of thermolifting
The concept of thermolifting is quite general. This procedure can be performed in several ways, and you can determine the best one for yourself during a preliminary consultation.
The following techniques are distinguished:
- The cosmetic effect involves the application of special cosmetic preparations and is characterized by accessibility and weak results.
- Infrared thermolifting (IR) - characterized by a gentle effect with a small penetration depth, can be performed with the Sciton apparatus or with the help of other devices.
- Laser action (IPL) is the most effective and fastest method.
- Radio wave action (Rf) is the most popular technique; the procedure can be carried out both in a beauty salon and at home if you have the necessary equipment. Aluma, Accent xl, etc. devices are often used.
Infrared
Warming is achieved using infrared radiation.
Infrared thermolifting is ideal for the skin of patients under 35 years of age. Using Sharplight and Titan devices, the facial procedure is performed at temperatures up to 39°.
It is used for facial rejuvenation; there is also thermal lifting of the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
Fractional
Fractional thermolifting on the Palomar platform is a unique technology of non-invasive effects on the skin using light energy.
The principle of operation of the procedure is based on the action of infrared light energy.
Radio wave
Radio wave or radio frequency thermolifting involves exposure to radio frequencies and is a classic technique.
With the help of radio waves, regenerative processes are stimulated in the dermis, which creates a positive effect, collagen fibers are reduced and the skin is tightened.
Thus, impulses activate:
- Local increase in blood circulation.
- Normalization of metabolism.
- Production of collagen fibers and elastin.
- Destruction of diseased or damaged tissues, enhancing the growth of new ones.
This exposure is the safest for health . Skin tightening and rejuvenation is carried out by accelerating natural processes within the human body.
Needle
Needle thermolifting is the latest technique for solving the problem of gravitational ptosis – sagging of soft tissues and skin.
The effect occurs in courses, the doctor must be visited at least 3 times, but positive results can be achieved in the shortest possible time, after just a few hours.
- Radiofrequency thermolifting does not require any preliminary measures before the procedure.
- Before the procedure, the skin is only cleaned of dead cells, impurities and cosmetics.
- After this, a special cream is applied to the problem area, which improves the passage of impulses and protects the upper layers of the skin from burns.
Treatment of the face or one part of the body can be carried out for either half an hour or more than 2 hours, depending on the area of the body that needs to be exposed to radio waves.
During the procedure, patients do not feel pain or any discomfort, so even local anesthesia is not required.
Laser thermolifting
In addition to classical technology, laser thermolifting is also used (also called deep thermolifting).
Ultraviolet rays penetrate to great depths, creating an effect lasting about 3 years. To achieve results, only 1 procedure is required.
The principle of operation is very similar - skin rejuvenation and tightening occurs due to the activation of internal processes of the body.
Indications for use
This procedure is suitable for patients of any gender or age. If you want to remove wrinkles and severe ptosis without surgery, this is definitely the solution for you.
The technique is also appropriate for age-related pigmentation, impaired metabolism, excessive dryness or increased oily skin.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of laser thermolifting are:
- Practicality (the procedure does not take much time).
- Absolutely painless.
- General healing effect.
- Minimum contraindications and side effects.
As for the disadvantages, these are the high price and the short duration of the effect obtained (about 3 years).
Reviews
Patient opinions on RF body lifting are predominantly positive. Below will also be presented statements from cosmetologists.
SVETLANA, 28 YEARS OLD:
“I decided to undergo RF body lifting on the advice of a friend.
I also chose the clinic and cosmetologist based on her opinion. The procedure is comfortable and feels similar to a professional massage. True, once the master somewhat slowed down the movement of the device on the skin. Because of this, there was a feeling as if something had slightly burned the skin. However, it left no trace.
The first procedure lasted about 17 minutes. After this, no visible effect appeared. The cosmetologist prescribed a course of 10 sessions with an interval of 2 weeks between them.
The result became noticeable after 4. The skin has tightened, cellulite has decreased, we need to continue the course of treatment.”
EVGENIYA, 35 YEARS OLD:
“It is very important to see a cosmetologist who will explain to the patient what RF lifting is.
Then there will be no disappointment from the result of the 1st session. I was lucky - I ended up with just such a doctor. Therefore, the revelations regarding 10 sessions, which stretch over a long time, and the total amount that I will have to part with, did not frighten me.
I was determined and will not give up on RF lifting. I've completed half of the sessions and the effect is impressive. The skin of the body and décolleté is girlishly smooth and fresh.”
Video - Thermolifting
Thermolifting is a fairly effective and financially affordable procedure for non-surgical skin rejuvenation. It can be performed at any time of the year on patients with any skin phototype, and the first results are noticeable after 1-2 sessions. The advantages also include a low degree of pain, ease of recovery period, low degree of tissue trauma and the possibility of use in people with trypanophobia (fear of injections), for whom contour rejuvenation methods using fillers are contraindicated. To reduce the risk of side effects, it is imperative to consult a specialist before the session and exclude possible contraindications.

I would like to note that RF face lifting is not indicated for rosacea. We often use this procedure in our practice. It helps reduce swelling during the postoperative period.
Irina Dorofeeva
practicing cosmetologist
In order for the effect of RF body lifting to bring joy, you cannot remain silent during the consultation about existing contraindications.
Then the pre-procedure examination will allow the professional to fully assess the patient’s health condition and carry out the manipulation “at its best”. The procedure is successfully used by many patients. They are not afraid of side effects that look like redness of the skin and swelling on it. This happens quite rarely, and soon disappears. We, specialists, are pleased that no one now doubts the effectiveness of RF body lifting. RF body lifting is a wonderful way to rejuvenate the skin of problem areas. Moreover, the result is achieved without injections or incisions. Radiolifting carefully cares for the skin and prevents it from aging for a long period.
Patient reviews
Anna, Moscow I didn’t really like the result. I expected more from thermolifting.
Natalya, St. Petersburg, a course of procedures helped me keep my skin toned for 2 years in a row. I did it with a break every six months, with maintenance therapy in between. The result was pleasing - this lifting helped remove fine wrinkles and maintain the oval shape of the face. I think the effectiveness depends on the clinic. Of course, it is impossible to achieve good results with cheap cosmetics and poor equipment.
Ekaterina, Kaliningrad At the beginning of the year I underwent thermolifting sessions, I was very pleased with the effect, especially on the face and stomach. It seems that much here is determined by the characteristics of the body, since on the hips and butt the result was significantly weaker. It was possible to partially remove wrinkles on the face and tighten the skin. Of the obvious shortcomings, I can name the price, and I was looking for a place that was cheaper.
Natasha, Tula As for me, a regular facial massage is better than any thermal lifting! But it’s free, no injections and everything is natural. I highly recommend it! The main thing is to do it every day.
Materials and equipment
In Russian specialized cosmetology clinics, domestic equipment is more often used, since imported devices have a high cost, which significantly affects the price of the procedure itself.
Before conducting a session, it is worth asking about the manufacturer of the equipment, as sometimes this can affect the final result.
Basic equipment:
- AirLax (Russian device for vacuum facial massage and thermolifting);
- AntiLax (made in Japan);
- Atlas (devices from South Korea);
- CryoShapePro 008 (universal Russian device for cryolipolysis, thermolifting (RF + laser beam);
- IntraGen (made in Japan);
- IPL+RF (Russian device for photorejuvenation, photoepilation and thermolifting procedures);
- MagicPolar (Russian multipolar device for thermolifting with photochromotherapy);
- Palomar (American assembly);
- ReAction (manufacturing country - Israel);
- RenewEvolution (Italian equipment);
- RenewFace (Italian facial beauty equipment);
- Scarlet RF (Russian minimally invasive fractional bipolar RF with microneedles);
- SharpLight (manufacturing country - Israel);
- SkinTyte (infrared thermolifting from Ukraine);
- Soprano XL ICE (Israeli device);
- Thermage (thermage equipment from Russia);
- Titan (infrared thermal lifting of American assembly);
- V-ShapePro (Russian universal device for thermolifting and vacuum facial massage).
Materials
Masks and creams are especially distinguished from materials:
- creams from different manufacturers;
- BeautyStyle (plaster mask for thermolifting from the USA).
The quality of the material, equipment and other details completely influence the result of the procedure.
Before carrying out cosmetic manipulation, it is better to find out everything in advance from the clinic’s specialists. The technique itself has a standard scheme.
Laser thermolifting
In addition to the classical technology described above, there is also laser thermolifting (it is also called deep lifting). Unlike the radiofrequency technique, this method is even safer and more effective (does not cause tissue thickening). Ultraviolet rays penetrate to greater depths and create a more prolonged result (about 3 years). In addition, the effect is achieved in just one procedure. As for the principle of action, it is very similar - skin tightening and rejuvenation occurs due to the activation of internal processes.
Indications for use
This procedure is suitable for patients of any age and gender. If you decide to eliminate severe ptosis and get rid of wrinkles without surgery, then this solution is definitely for you. In addition, the technique is appropriate for correcting metabolic disorders in the dermis, age-related pigmentation, excessive dryness of the skin or increased oiliness.
Pros and cons of laser thermolifting
Reviews from patients who have gone through this procedure are diametrically opposed. Some are disappointed with the result, while others, on the contrary, are pleased with the final effect. To better understand the entire feature of the technology, we will try to consider all its advantages and disadvantages. So, the advantages are:
- absolute painlessness;
- practicality (the procedure takes a little time);
- general healing effect on the body;
- minimum side effects and contraindications.
As for the disadvantages, first you need to pay attention to the short duration of the effect obtained (about 3 years) and the high price.
Thermolifting: Reviews from readers
Irina Alekseets, Kazan, 30 years old. Mom completed a course of thermolifting procedures in the salon a couple of months ago. Amazing procedure! Mom was literally getting younger before our eyes! It looks simply magical, we did not expect such a result! Tamara Ignatova, Astrakhan, 45 years old. I did several thermolifting procedures and did not see much results. Perhaps the effect of the procedure depends on the specialist, but I only noticed a slightly improved complexion, but the wrinkles remained.
Tatyana Nurdova, Volgograd, 41 years old. I looked 5 years younger in a month! How? Thermolifting! The effect is simply amazing, every day the skin tightens and becomes more elastic. I was very pleased!
Elvira Kartseva, Moscow, 50 years old . Thermolifting is a very pleasant rejuvenation procedure, no pain, no discomfort, and even a truly visible result! Thanks to my cosmetologist for the recommendation!
Ekaterina Ermolaeva, Ekaterinburg, 48 years old. My husband gave me a certificate for thermal lifting (I had been asking for it for a long time), I was so excited to go to the procedure! And what's the result? Nothing! No result! I don't see any effect! Wasted money.
Daria Efimova, Irkutse, 34 years old. My friend and I decided to get serious about our beauty and signed up for a thermolifting procedure. Honestly, we hoped that we would be able to remove the double chin a little. But it turns out that at my age I can look 27 years old! Excellent result!
