To use an RF lifting device at home, as an alternative to plastic surgery or salon procedures, you need to understand the capabilities of the device and the mechanism of action of its active elements on the skin.
The essence of the method lies in the effect of radio frequencies on the skin and subcutaneous layer, as a result of which all layers of the epidermis are heated.These manipulations lead to an increase in the density of collagen fibers, due to which the skin is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed.
The procedure itself is considered quite innovative and was adopted by cosmetologists not so long ago.Due to its effectiveness, low level of injuries, absence of a preparatory phase and serious rehabilitation, it has become acceptable for independent implementation.
How to choose a home lifting device?
To carry out RF lifting at home, it is not necessary to use a heavy system with a large number of functions and operating modes intended for professional beauty salons.
Simply purchase a portable device that:
- it has the power necessary to heat the treated areas (for the neck and décolleté a small power is sufficient, for the abdomen, thighs, buttocks a stronger power is sufficient to break down orange peel cellulite);
- easily adjust the optimal modes for different zones;
- assembled by a reliable manufacturer;
- safe for health;
- has a guaranteed service.
Home devices used for facelift can cause unpleasant sensations in those with sensitive skin due to the inability to regulate the depth of heating.As a rule, this problem is solved with the help of a cooling gel.
The most popular devices - the choice of cosmetologists
Fans of RF facelift technology who appreciate the effectiveness of the technique can easily continue procedures to improve their appearance without leaving their home.The main thing is to understand the large variety of devices offered for lifting manipulations by manufacturing companies working for the beauty industry.
Today, monopolar, bipolar and multipolar models are on sale, which do not differ much from each other in terms of effectiveness, with the exception of unipolar ones: they are able to heat the deeper layers of the dermis, giving a stronger result.However, this force also carries the danger of uncontrolled overheating of untreated areas and, consequently, causing adverse reactions of the body to radio frequency pulses.
A higher polarity allows a more targeted and localized effect on strictly specific areas, ensuring safety for the body.But a multi-pole device for RF lifting at home is a real luxury, since the prices for such devices are simply skyrocketing.
There are models of mobile devices that appeal to both specialists and those who have decided to set up a beauty salon at home.
How to carry out the procedure at home - step by step method?
Home lifting requires special rules for the procedure, on which the result largely depends.The skin rejuvenation device should be installed in such a way that it is convenient for them to treat the dermis area.
Important!While lifting, you should feel intense, but not aggressive heat, on the verge of severe pain.The presence of pain and redness indicates that the power of the device was selected incorrectly!
If you follow a step-by-step method of cosmetic manipulation at home, the RF facelift will not only meet your expectations, but also exceed them.
Preparation
RF can be performed only after preparation, which includes:
- removal of decorative cosmetics;
- cleanse the skin with a scrub;
- rinse the dermis with fresh, clean water.
After that, a special composition is applied to the surface area to be treated, which creates a contact medium and helps strengthen the impulses.
Carry out
If necessary, an anesthetic gel is applied to the prepared skin areas.Then the device is turned on and the active electrode is applied to the desired area at a distance of at least 5 cm.Further manipulations are carried out strictly according to the instructions, depending on the model of the device and take on average 10-30 minutes.
Important!During the procedure it is necessary to focus on the thermal sensors that monitor the temperature of the dermis, thus avoiding burns and overheating.
At the end of the procedure, the face should be cleaned of gel with a paper towel and a nourishing cream should be applied.
After a few hours you can wash your face with fresh water and make a hydrating and nourishing mask with a lifting effect to enhance the result.
Frequency
It is recommended to conduct sessions no more than once a week in a cycle of several procedures.In the intervals between RF lifts it is useful to carry out rehabilitation of the dermis, which includes:
- use of special creams;
- the use of nourishing masks;
- treatment with serums and repairing foams.
A cosmetologist can provide reliable information on the duration and intensity of the course after a personal examination.
Features and recommendations

- procedures must be performed regularly;
- The duration of the cycle for each treated area must be complete and not interrupted;
- it is necessary to use only high-quality procedural cosmetics;
- try to combine RF lifting with other rejuvenation procedures in a complex.

- age-related changes in the skin have appeared: decreased firmness, sagging, wrinkles;
- there are enlarged pores, flaccid and dull skin;
- excess skin appeared as a result of weight loss or liposuction;
- the orange peel of cellulite is visible.
On the face, the procedure is recommended only after 40 years, when the first signs of skin aging become evident.

- pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
