Navigating the world of at-home skin care products is challenging. This is not decorative cosmetics selected using testers, and not a cream selected using a sampler. These are serious devices that have a very high cost, but allow you to carry out salon-level procedures, previously available only from cosmetologists, without leaving your home.
The technological capabilities we are faced with are growing every month, so in this article we have collected dermatologist-approved beauty devices aimed at increasing the effectiveness of skincare products.
Aqua peeling
Indications:
- enlarged pores, comedones;
- excessive secretion of sebum (sebum);
- pigmentation, acne marks;
- problematic skin;
- dehydration, peeling;
- dullness, unevenness in the overall tone of the face.
We all want smooth, radiant skin that looks more youthful. Although we try various face masks, skin care products, hardware techniques in this direction work better than other exfoliation methods. Aqua peeling is a unique procedure that can give amazing results even at home.
Aquapeeling is a procedure where a special nozzle delivers liquid under high pressure, separating dead epidermal cells from the surface of the skin. At the same time, the liquid washes away impurities from the pores, deeply cleansing them.
The absolute safety and non-traumatic nature of this device allows it to be used without restrictions, starting from the age of 14.
Contraindications are:
- violation of the integrity of the skin in the area of operation of the device;
- oncology;
- diabetes;
- exacerbation of skin diseases;
- pregnancy, lactation.
Microcurrents
Indications:
- prevention and fight against the first age-related changes;
- loss of elasticity and skin tone;
- gravitational type of aging - sagging skin in the oval area of the face.
Microcurrent technology is a non-invasive therapy that emits a low voltage current similar to the natural electrical currents in the body. Microcurrent stimulates energy production, which triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. As a result, work on rejuvenation occurs: the skin becomes more toned, firm, elastic, and a natural radiance appears.
These devices work best as a preventive measure against age-related changes. Microcurrent technology certainly does not replace esthetician or surgical procedures, so it is best to think of microcurrent technology as a way to maintain healthy, youthful skin. For example, if you have undergone treatment from a cosmetologist and want your skin to be tightened and your oval contoured for as long as possible, microcurrent devices can help with this.
Contraindications:
- malignant oncological diseases;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system with rhythm disturbances;
- pacemakers;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy;
- violation of the integrity of the skin;
- purulent inflammatory processes in the area of application.
To use microcurrent, a conductor is required. It should be a product that has good electrical conductivity and can remain on the surface of the skin without being absorbed for some time. A suitable option is a water-based gel. Moisturizing gels with hyaluronic acid and aloe are suitable. The gel is applied in a thick layer to the face, and the device operates on top of it. The gel makes the procedure completely painless; if you feel discomfort, check whether the gel layer is perhaps not dense enough.
Microcurrent therapy does not require a rehabilitation period after the procedures, however, for noticeable results, regular home sessions are required - from 3 to 5 per week for two months.
Lifting techniques
Indications:
- age-related changes in the skin of the face and body;
- loss of elasticity associated with decreased production of collagen and elastin;
- sagging skin.
Modeling devices for skin lifting usegalvanic current- a type of current that accelerates blood circulation, which promotes deeper penetration of beneficial ingredients. Galvanic current has been used for many years, initially it was used in medicine to improve the penetration of drugs.
Currently, galvanic technologies are highly developed. In earlier times, electroplating machines were extremely bulky and, if used incorrectly, created the risk of galvanic burns. Now these are high-tech devices that are safe even when used at home.
The second way to influence tissue isRF lifting (radio frequency lifting).Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure performed as part of anti-aging therapy.
During radiofrequency treatment, current flows from the electrodes of the radiofrequency device to the skin, heating the tissue underneath and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This procedure also causes fibroplasia, a process in which the body produces new fibrous tissue, causing the collagen fibers to become shorter and tighter. At the same time, the molecules that make up collagen remain intact. Elasticity increases, skin that has lost its elasticity and tone is tightened.
Radiofrequency skin tightening devices can be used for facial rejuvenation and body contouring at home. Home RF devices provide less power than those found in a doctor's office and require regular use to achieve skin tightening results comparable to visiting a specialist once or twice a year.
An accompanying strengthening technique used in cosmetic devices ischromotherapy.
Chromotherapy is a fairly popular cosmetic procedure. Color has a beneficial effect on the condition and appearance of the skin, has excellent cleansing and immunostimulating properties, improving the general condition and appearance of a person.
Chromotherapy in cosmetology is based on the properties of rays of a certain color that penetrate the skin.
Red light with a wavelength of 650 nm restores skin mechanisms and improves its protective properties against aggressive environmental factors. It is generally suitable for sensitive skin with poor circulation and pigmentation.
Blue light with a wavelength of 465 nm soothes sensitive, irritated and rosacea-prone skin, triggers regeneration and repair mechanisms.
Contraindications:
- acute infectious and viral diseases;
- oncology;
- presence of a pacemaker;
- skin diseases;
- rosacea;
- the presence of silicone, metal implants, gold threads in the area of influence;
- taking dermatotropic drugs;
- after sunbathing;
- pregnancy and lactation.
Microdermabrasion
Indications:
- dull complexion;
- uneven terrain;
- "unhealthy" skin color;
- hyperkeratosis.
Even at home, a microdermabrasion session promises to exfoliate, smooth and brighten your skin. An at-home microdermabrasion machine uses patented suction technology to pull your skin toward a rotating disc, which exfoliates dead skin as you move the tool across the surface. Exfoliating pads range from gentler ones for sensitive skin to quite rough ones for deep exfoliation.
Microdermabrasion combines two methods of action: mechanical exfoliation and vacuum removal of dead cells. Mechanical action helps renew the skin, making it smooth, even, and radiant. Vacuum suction also improves blood circulation and triggers the regeneration mechanism.
Microdermabrasion can also eliminate pigmentation, smooth out fine wrinkles and enlarged pores.
Contraindications:
- damaged skin, open wounds;
- skin diseases (herpes, vascular diseases, neoplasms);
- for skin irritation;
- immediately after sunbathing;
- use of blood thinners and steroids;
- multiple sclerosis, diabetes or autoimmune diseases.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Indications:
- oily skin;
- enlarged pores;
- excessive sebum secretion;
- comedones (open, closed);
- sebaceous plugs.
Technically, this is a water-based exfoliating treatment. The device works by activating ultrasonic waves, which, with their vibrations, push dirt out of the pores. Ultrasonic cleaning is a gentle procedure. It is suitable for rosacea-prone sensitive skin that usually does not respond well to other exfoliation methods.
Ultrasonic cleaning is carried out on top of a special gel that loosens the top layer of skin. Such a remedy could be aloe gel.
Contraindications:
- arrhythmia;
- blood diseases, thrombophlebitis;
- electronic implants;
- oncology;
- damaged skin;
- chronic skin diseases in the acute stage;
- inflammatory and purulent processes;
- pregnancy.
Over the past few years, technology and skincare have become closer together than ever before, which can't help but make us wonder: could there come a day when all of our serums and creams become obsolete and are replaced by a plethora of high-tech tools and devices? Exhale: probably not. But that doesn't mean beauty gadgets won't take up some bathroom shelf space and impact the cosmetics industry as we know it.
