Only 20-30 years ago, the only reliable way to deal with age-related changes was surgical facelift. Then came the time for fillers and Botox. All these techniques, despite some advantages, have disadvantages. Fortunately, new ways to prolong youth are constantly being discovered. The skin can be firm, fresh and healthy even without injections. This has been successfully proven by hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation. Examinations of many patients confirm this fact.
Hardware cosmetology
Hardware techniques have become a new step in the development of cosmetology. They allow you to quickly and painlessly remove many defects in appearance and significantly rejuvenate the skin. All procedures are performed using special devices. And the desired result is achieved by exposure to ultrasound, cold, vibration, vacuum or electric waves.
Hardware procedures are becoming more popular every year. Patients who have tried these unique techniques share their impressions online and leave positive feedback. Hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation is able to deal with pigmentation, wrinkles, enlarged pores and traces of acne. In addition, it is able to tighten the skin, tighten the oval, increase collagen production and correct flight. We can say that the indication for the procedure is the patient's desire to maintain youth, as well as to improve the condition of the skin.
Hardware rejuvenation methods can be divided into two types:
- Ablative. The integrity of the skin is compromised during the procedure.
- Non-ablative. The integrity of the skin is not compromised.
The dermatologist must choose the most appropriate method for hardware rejuvenation. The result largely depends on the qualification of the specialist, as well as the quality of the equipment.
Choose a clinic or salon carefully. It is advisable to focus on the reviews and recommendations of friends who have seen a positive result from the use of hardware cosmetology. The equipment must have all the necessary licenses and certificates.
The following devices are used for procedures in clinics and salons:
- Phonophoresis.
- Microdermabrasion device.
- RF lifting.
- Ultrasonic scrubber.
- Derma pen.
- Electroplating device.
- Darsonval.
- Microcurrent therapy device.
- Meso injectors.
Special cosmetic combinations are often used in salons. Only one such device can perform about 20 different procedures.
Patient age
The term 'hardware rejuvenation' does not mean that the procedures solve the problems of extremely mature skin. It all depends on the condition of the epidermis. Even teenagers can remove pigmentation, clean and tighten pores with the help of cosmetic devices. And the first anti-aging procedures, if there are indications, should be performed at the age of 25. They are mainly aimed at moisturizing and restoring the skin.
After 35 years, the wilting processes begin to run faster. At this age, the skin is called mature. Now more aggressive methods of hardware cosmetology are needed to rejuvenate the face. Cosmetologists show that RF-lifting, fractional laser and microcurrent therapy show the best results.
Fractional rejuvenation
The fractional laser can slow down skin aging. During the procedure, it acts in doses on the skin. Thanks to a special attachment, a laser beam is divided into very small. This provides a partial (as if through a sieve) effect on the epidermis.
Laser beams leave micro damage to the skin. This stimulates the cells of the epidermis to produce collagen and elastin. It is these two materials that provide turgor to the skin.
The fractional laser provides excellent lifting. This is confirmed by numerous reviews. The laser facial rejuvenation procedure removes atonic sagging, sagging ovals, wrinkles, vascular network, stretch marks and scars. It also tightens pores and removes pigmentation.
Oval correction of radio waves
In recent years, a procedure called RF facelift is gaining popularity. What is interesting for many women who are looking for effective ways to combat aging. RF lifting is a method for radiofrequency tightening and rejuvenation of the skin. The method appeared in cosmetology about 15 years ago.
As a result of exposure to radio waves, the deep layers of the epidermis are heated to a temperature of 43 degrees. Under the influence of heat, the tissues shrink and the fibers shrink. This improves skin tone and provides a lifting effect.
Elevated temperature and electric field stimulate cells to produce more elastin and collagen. Thanks to the new fibers, a frame is formed, which is characteristic of young dermis.
Lifting with radio waves provides an immediate effect of lifting the face and neck, removes wrinkles and sagging, restores elasticity. The result obtained is maintained for three years. In addition, the formation of new wrinkles is significantly slowed down.
Ultrasonic Lifting
Ultrasound works on the same principle as radio waves in a procedure such as an RF facelift. What this is described above. The main difference is the depth of impact. Ultrasound is able to penetrate where radio waves do not reach. It affects the deepest layers of the skin.
It is impossible to say for sure which method is more effective. Ultrasound lifting is suitable for some patients. The skin of others responds better to radio waves. Therefore, the decision on the method of rejuvenation should be made by the doctor.
Ultrasonic stimulation heats the inner layers of the skin. As a result, metabolism in the tissues is accelerated, toxins are removed and collagen is produced. And also the microcirculation of the blood increases.
Microcurrent therapy
The benefits of a weak pulse current on the body have long been known. This method is used successfully by physiotherapists to relieve pain in urolithiasis, cholecystitis and other pathologies. Modern beauticians also use microcurrent effects to improve the condition of the skin. The popularity of this method is constantly growing.
Microcurrent facial therapy is recommended for easy contour modeling and muscle toning. It is completely painless. The patient may feel a slight tingling sensation while the beautician passes a special nozzle along the massage lines of the face.
Electrical impulses improve cell regeneration, collagen synthesis and hyaluronic acid proteins. They remove metabolic products and toxins, improve blood circulation. They also tone the skin.
After the procedure, the person is visibly younger. The result lasts six months. Much depends on the initial condition and characteristics of the patient's skin.
Non-injection mesotherapy
You can rejuvenate your skin without injections. Doctors have found an opportunity to deliver nutrients and moisturizers to the deep layers of the dermis in a non-invasive way. This procedure is called non-injection mesotherapy. This is another effective hardware technique for facial rejuvenation.
The procedure addresses the following issues:
- Loose and dry skin.
- Hyperpigmentation.
- Wrinkles.
- Earth tan.
- Loss of elasticity.
- Couperose.
- Puffiness.
- Enlarged pores.
Cryolifting
Dosed tissue cooling allows you to solve many problems that occur due to the aging process of the skin. This effective method is adopted by professionals in aesthetic medicine. Hardware cryotherapy on the face allows you to remove swelling, wrinkles, age spots and scars. In addition, the oval is restored and skin color improves.
Liquid nitrogen is used for the procedure. Its temperature reaches minus 195 degrees. The substance for facial cryomassage is delivered through a special tube-tank with various attachments. The duration of the procedure does not exceed 10 minutes.
Photorejuvenation
High-intensity pulsed light for facial rejuvenation is relatively new. It was originally used for photoepilation. Over time, cosmetologists have noticed that in places exposed to pulsed light, there is an improvement in the condition of the skin: the pigment spots disappear, the spider's veins become less noticeable. In addition, wrinkles are smoothed. Immediately after that, a technique for facial rejuvenation was developed.
Phototherapy provides dosed warming of the dermis. It acts on its papillary layer. This increases the intensity of such biochemical processes in the skin as neocollagenogenesis.
Phototherapy is one of the most effective hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation. After only a few sessions, the deepest wrinkles are smoothed, an oval is outlined, the tightening is tightened. The course consists of four to eight procedures. The result after photorejuvenation lasts six months.
Ultrasonic facial liposuction
Due to being overweight, fluffy and double chins can appear even in young girls. In addition, the nasolabial folds become more noticeable. All this deforms the lower part of the face. It also visually adds a few extra years.
Removing fat deposits allows the face to return to its original features. This can be done with the help of ultrasonic liposuction. It only destroys fat cells and does not affect other tissues.
During the procedure, the doctor makes several thin punctures. No scars or scars remain. Within five days, the swelling completely disappears.
Ultrasonic liposuction is one of the best hardware procedures for facial rejuvenation, as it allows you to solve the problem of sagging cheeks and fuzzy oval, as well as a double chin. In addition, the procedure stimulates the formation of collagen fibers, which are responsible for skin elasticity.
Hardware cosmetology at home
The modern woman is able to take care of her skin on her own and prevent it from fading. Home hardware cosmetology for the face helps her in this. Many procedures can be performed without the help of a dermatologist. All you need for quality care is to choose the right cosmetic device.
For home use, you can purchase:
- Microcurrent stimulation devices.
- Vacuum pore cleaner.
- Ultrasonic device that can deal with wrinkles.
- A radio wave device that improves the condition of the oval.
- Device with laser action.
- Apparatus for light, ozone and ion therapy.
The use of home cosmetic devices does not require special skills. Everything you need to know is described in detail in the instructions. We must not forget about the contraindications.
Contraindications to hardware cosmetology
The main thing that aesthetic medicine takes care of is safety. Patients who choose hardware cosmetology may not be afraid of anesthesia and a long period of rehabilitation. Such procedures minimize the risk of side effects and medical errors. This is confirmed by the reviews.
Hardware cosmetology for facial rejuvenation should not be used only in some cases. Contraindications include:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Malignant neoplasms.

Reviews
Hardware facial rejuvenation techniques are becoming increasingly popular. This is evidenced by the examinations of cosmetologists and their patients. Women who have completed a full course of hardware rejuvenation say that their face is visually rejuvenated by five to ten years. In patients, the oval is tight, the nasolabial folds become less noticeable, the pigmentation disappears. In addition, the skin becomes firm and hydrated.
In the reviews, patients note another advantage of hardware cosmetology - the lack of a long period of rehabilitation. You do not need to use hospital. You can resume your usual activities immediately after the procedure.
