Review, advantages and disadvantages of face radiolifting. Indications and contraindications for the procedure. Step-by-step instructions for implementation, possible harm and results. You can not carry out radiolifting of the face, if not two weeks have passed after the procedure of chemical or laser peeling. In this case, it is recommended to wait at least 3 months, and ideally all six. In most cases, cosmetologists do not require confirmation or refutation of the listed contraindications. They do not send for any examinations and do not conduct them on their own either. Reasons for refusal from radiolifting can be revealed only during the collection of anamnesis and personal complaints of the patient about the state of health.
Step-by-step instructions for conducting face radiolifting
Depending on the complexity of the situation, the patient may need from 5 to 10 sessions. The optimal interval for visiting a beautician is once a week. One session lasts no longer than an hour. All manipulations are done without anesthesia, it is used only with increased sensitivity of the dermis.
There is no need to prepare for the procedure. The only important requirement is the absence of cosmetics on the face. Very often, the cosmetologist asks to remove earrings and piercings from lips, nose, eyebrows, etc. This rule is justified by the fact that they quickly heat up and can lead to skin burns. Step-by-step instructions for conducting face radiolifting assumes the following:
- First of all, the specialist determines whether the patient has contraindications to the procedure.
- At this stage, the area of exposure to the current is studied - whether there are pigment spots, warts and other defects.
- This is where the number of sessions required is negotiated.
- The patient is asked to take a comfortable position, usually seated in a chair or laid on a couch.
- Depending on the experience of the technician and the type of device used, markings may be applied to the face to make it easier to identify the points of current exposure. This negates the chance of accidentally missing the desired section.
- The surface to be treated is thoroughly cleaned with a lotion that improves the susceptibility to conducted impulses.
- A cooling gel is applied to the face, and if necessary, to the neck with the décolleté area. This is a mandatory step required to exclude skin burns.
- After the coolant has been absorbed, the beautician passes over the face with the energy-emitting tip of the device. At this time, the skin temperature rises to 40-45 degrees. Heat is retained in the tissues for 10-15 minutes.
- The penultimate step is to remove the remaining gel from the face and wipe it thoroughly with a dry towel.
- In the end, the doctor can only moisturize and soothe the skin with a special cream.
The used device makes almost no noise. To treat the face, an average nozzle with a diameter of no more than 3 cm is needed, its touch is almost not felt. Movements always start from the top of the desired zone (from the forehead). After that, the specialist, in the specified order, proceeds to warming up the upper and lower eyelids, nose, cheekbones, lips, neck and décolleté, if necessary.
During a face radiolifting session, the patient may experience short-term but strong sensations of tissue heating. You can compare them with the consequence of a small burn. This mainly occurs when using inexpensive devices that do not have cooling nozzles. Under this condition, the use of a cooling gel is a must, it helps to reduce discomfort.
In high-quality European-style devices, there are nozzles with sensors for monitoring and adjusting temperature. Therefore, if it exceeds the permissible limits and causes pain, it is reduced. For this, the method of injection into the interior of the cooling composition is used.
After carrying out all the manipulations, the cosmetologist warns of possible consequences, which are very rare, and tells how to deal with them. Then the patient is immediately released home, hospital stay and monitoring of results are never required.
Undesirable consequences of face radiolifting
With the use of high-quality equipment and high qualifications of a doctor, the procedure is absolutely harmless to health - after it there are no side effects. The deterioration of the situation is possible when carrying out radiolifting in the event of any contraindications. In such a situation, an exacerbation of existing diseases is possible. Very rarely, with increased skin sensitivity, it recovers for 2-3 days.
In the first few days, it may bother you:
- Redness … It is associated with strong heating of the skin, as a result of which the dermis is irritated. This entails the appearance of red areas in the treated area, which usually pass without outside participation.
- Puffiness … It can be associated with strong pressure with the tip or evaporation of a large percentage of water from the tissues. In this case, the face becomes somewhat puffy, bags appear under the eyes. For such problems, you can lubricate the skin with an anti-inflammatory cream.
- Lumps or blisters … They are the result of a burn on the face, so when they appear, you should immediately contact a dermatologist. In addition, itching and rashes can occur, often due to an allergic reaction of the skin to the cooling gels or attachments.
The most dangerous of all side effects is the inhibition of tissue regeneration, which leads to atrophy of the subcutaneous fat layer and the appearance of small depressions on the face. This is due to the destruction of a large amount of protein responsible for the elasticity of the dermis. With its lack, it sags unaesthetically.
Important! In order not to become a "victim" of a cosmetologist, before sitting down in a chair, it is worth asking if he has the appropriate certificates and the type of equipment used.
The result of face radiolifting
If the skin sagged a lot before the procedure, then after it it is noticeably tightened. The first results are noticeable after 2-3 visits to the beautician. After 1-2 months, the amount of collagen in the tissues increases even more, therefore, over time, the effect does not fade away, but only intensifies. It lasts for 1-2 years, after which the course can be safely repeated.
No one can guarantee the onset of an instant effect from face radiolifting, since the result depends on the individual characteristics of the dermis. It tightens best when it is well hydrated. In women after 60 years of age, the situation is more complicated than in younger ones, since there is critically little protein in their tissues, and therefore there is practically nothing to warm up there.
According to patients' reviews, small wrinkles disappear almost completely, and large ones become not so deep. Best of all, radio lifting copes with the forehead area and mimic folds near the lips. This is due to the fact that the skin is most tightened here. Along with this, there is an improvement in complexion, which acquires a healthy glow. A pleasant bonus is a reduction in the number of acne, lightening of age spots and a reduction in the number of scars. But getting rid of them completely in any case will not work, since the procedure is still aimed at rejuvenation. To achieve it, the results must be consolidated by refusing to expose the face to open sunlight and visiting the solarium for 1-2 weeks. It is also beneficial to hydrate the body and moisturize the skin. The recommendations are slightly different for each patient.
Real reviews of the radio lifting procedure
Radiolifting is popular among women as a painless and effective rejuvenation procedure. Many of those who have experienced it on themselves leave positive reviews on the Internet.
Tatiana, 34 years old
In my 30s, I began to notice that it takes me more and more time in the morning to bring myself into an acceptable form. My main problem is dark circles under my eyes. No folk lotions with ice and herbs saved any more. I realized that I needed to act differently and solve the problem with an experienced cosmetologist. In the salon, I was advised to undergo a rejuvenation course on the Revital RF apparatus. This is a radio lifting device. The procedure takes about half an hour. It includes a cleansing peeling, the actual action of the apparatus on the skin, the application of a special mask and serum, and a light massage. After the first session, you should not wait for the results. I had to go through five procedures. But the result is decent: the skin began to look healthy, natural, and not grayish, bags under the eyes were gone, fine wrinkles in this area were smoothed out, since radio lifting stimulates the production of its own collagen in the epidermis. Therefore, rejuvenation occurs naturally. And my pores on my face, which were previously enlarged and clogged, have noticeably narrowed. I am very pleased with this procedure and will definitely do the course again, maybe in a year and a half.
Jeanne, 32 years old
After thirty, the oval of my face noticeably swam, strong creases appeared in the area of the nasolabial triangle, I simply could not look at my reflection in the mirror. I opted for the radio lifting procedure. I did it in a good clinic on Revital RF. The procedure is as follows: they are placed on a couch, the face is lubricated with gel and a device with a metal nozzle is driven over the skin. Gradually the device heats up and a feeling of warmth appears, like in a sauna. They made my face and neck. The whole procedure took about 40 minutes. If you have problems with the thyroid gland, then it is better to refuse the procedure in the neck area. I'm not complaining about her, but after radio lifting for several hours I had a feeling of difficulty swallowing. Therefore, I asked you not to touch the neck anymore. The first few sessions did not bring the desired result. I completed a course of four treatments and did not notice any effect. I decided that I was just in vain to throw the money down the drain. But after a month I really noticed the result - it took 10 years for sure! The oval was tightened, the skin thickened, the nasolabials smoothed out. In general, I am satisfied, the procedure is worthwhile!
Ekaterina, 39 years old
The radioliftin procedure was recommended to me by my cosmetologist. I have dense skin, a round face, few wrinkles, but the oval of my face has swam and pronounced nasolabial folds have appeared. Cream or serum cannot correct such imperfections, and I decided on radio lifting. I only did the lower third of the face. The face is lubricated with gel and the apparatus is driven over the skin. The sensations are not very pleasant, they are similar to insect bites. After the procedure, redness appeared, and that's it. It went down in the evening. True, I never got the result. I went to the second session, and exactly the same thing - after a week there was no effect. The cosmetologist reassured me, they say, the result is not immediately noticeable, you need to do a couple more procedures and wait. But seeing that nothing is changing, I don’t want to do anything else. In addition, the cost is not cheap. Maybe it's all individually, and this radio lifting is suitable for someone, but not for someone. In general, I will not try again.
