Rejuvenating procedures for the face and body, carried out using special devices and devices, are called hardware cosmetology.
The direction has become a real breakthrough in the beauty industry, and has won an honorable first place among innovative discoveries of the 21st century.
Modern devices and technological developments make it possible to stop age-related changes, simulate skin imperfections and improve a woman’s appearance, which is the main external form of expressing a business image in society.
Features of the direction
What is hardware cosmetology?
In short and accessible terms, this concept is characterized as the pursuit of various sessions for rejuvenating the skin of the face and body, based on the use of state-of-the-art devices.
The cosmetology installations and devices used have an effective effect on the body and have a number of positive characteristics, namely:
- Multifunctionality(the same drug is used to solve various problems related to appearance).
- Deep stimulating and revitalizing effect, and as a result - visible and pronounced effectiveness.
- Minimum strength of painful stimulus during the session(does not injure the layers of the dermis and does not require general anesthesia).
Hardware cosmetology is divided into types, where various signs are the determining factor.Experts classify a set of sessions based on the following areas:
- type of procedure(vacuum removal of subcutaneous deposits, face lift, depilation, massage manipulations, etc.);
- location of the problem area(neckline, buttocks, legs, face);
- method of influence(laser beam, ultrasonic vibrations, electrical impulses and others).
Let us analyze in detail the complex of hardware cosmetology procedures.
For face
For facial care, specialists use many different procedures, both in combination and simultaneously or alternately.
Sessions are aimed at cleansing the skin, tightening it and eliminating signs of aging.
The general positive qualities of such devices include:
- delicate impact;
- impossibility of damaging the skin;
- excellent result.
Peeling
A special event to cleanse the surface layers of the dermis, as a result of which uneven skin texture and small folds are smoothed, old and dying cells are exfoliated, enlarged pores are closed, blackheads are eliminated, the skin is saturated with nutrients and microelements.
The effect of peeling can significantly increase oxygen access to tissues, accelerate their recovery, revitalization and activate collagen production, which will significantly increase the turgor of the dermis.
Facial cleansing is carried out in several ways.
Ultrasonic
Superficial physical cleansing of the skin, which ensures the rejection of dead cells by breaking their connecting links.
The main direction of the method is the removal of acne and subcutaneous fat.The procedure is based on the impact of an ultrasonic wave on the upper layers of the epidermis.
As a result, an effective massage of the skin occurs on the treated area, resorption of adhesions, loosening of connective tissues, improvement of blood flow and metabolic processes.
The final result is stored for 14 days.The peeling session does not cause side effects and is used with virtually no restrictions.
Vacuum
One of the most gentle and effective procedures for superficial cleansing of the skin and stimulation of blood circulation in tissues.
The manipulation is painless and does not violate the integrity of the skin and muscle structures.
A special device creates a vacuum effect, which promotes the opening of pores and absorbs contaminants and plug formations from them.In addition, vacuum treatment promotes the rejection of the stratum corneum, which reduces the number of acne pimples and evens out the relief of the dermis.
The method is often used in combination with manual cleansing, since it alone cannot cope with impurities in the deep layers of the skin.
The main contraindication is the presence of spider veins on the face.No side effects were observed.
Diamond peeling
Another name for the method is microdermabrasion.Special attachments of the device for treating the epidermis were processed with diamond chips.The method is suitable for all types of dermis and is used on a wide variety of areas of the body.
During manipulation, the skin is cleaned by grinding.There is a delicate effect on the top layer of skin and effective exfoliation of keratinized particles.
The crushed abrasive material of the attachments slightly injures the dermis, which promotes the production of collagen fibers.As a result, the skin becomes soft and elastic.
Absolute contraindications include bronchial asthma, the presence of spider veins, diseases of the skin and the cardiovascular system.
To obtain excellent results, a minimum of 5 sessions are required.
Jet Peel
Gas-liquid peeling is carried out with a special device attachment with a microscopic nozzle.This method is safe and effectiveexposure to layers of skin without direct contact with them.
Compressed air and special medicinal mixtures are delivered to the epidermis through a jet that is released under pressure.
The method comprehensively solves the problem: cleanses, affects temperature pressure, saturates the dermis with oxygen and vitamins, removes impurities and reduces inflammation with salt solutions.
For best results, 5 manipulations are recommended.The duration of the effect is 6 months.Most often used to eliminate the “orange peel” effect.
Laser
The method is aimed at exfoliating dead skin cells and starting the processes of restoration and revitalization.
The method is usually used to eliminate scars, facial and age wrinkles, and visible vascular pathologies.
To relieve discomfort during the session, specialists use gel-like products with a cooling effect and local anesthetics.
If safety precautions are not followed during the procedure, the risk of thermal damage to the skin and blisters increases.
Laser peeling is not used if you are individually intolerant to the flow of radiant energy.
Galvanic
The method involves treating the skin with galvanic current.The nozzle is an electrode with a primary negative charge and a secondary positive charge.
Conductors are able to draw out particles of dirt from the deepest structures of the dermis and turn them into a dispersion consisting of bubbles (foam), effectively rejuvenate the skin, provide muscles with proper turgor and activate the movement of large protein molecules (lymph).
The method cannot be used if you have a pacemaker or a metal alloy implant.
Facial brossage
Brushing is used to preserve beauty and youth and is carried out using special bristly devices.
The skin is subjected to mechanical treatment in order to stimulate its dormant deep resources.
During the treatment, blackheads are removed, visible pigmentation (red spots, freckles) is reduced, blood circulation is activated, metabolic processes are accelerated, wrinkles are smoothed out, the skin becomes elastic and moisturized.
Contraindications include skin diseases and severe signs of aging.To achieve the desired results, 8 sessions are recommended.
For facial skin
Most women mistakenly believe that the use of devices in cosmetology is nothing more thanlifting or tightening of the dermis.
However, the direction also includes sessions to smooth out wrinkles and eliminate signs of aging.
Experts recommend these manipulations to middle-aged women to maintain dermal tone and youth.
Thermage
The main source of exposure is radio waves.It heats collagen fibers to the desired temperature, thereby increasing the density and elasticity of the dermis.
In addition, there is intense stimulation of the production of collagen and elastin at the cellular level.
Efficiency is classified as cumulative results, that is, the result of using the method can be assessed after six months.
The skin acquires a toned appearance, has a healthy color, and signs of fatigue disappear.The cost will depend on the area of the area being treated.
Laser biorevitalization
This method saturates the dermis with hyaluronate, without compromising the integrity of the integument.
Thanks to the manipulation, the water balance is restored, swelling disappears, and a lifting effect is formed.
To achieve maximum results, 6 sessions will be required.
Biochemical stimulation
This manipulation is a kind of massage procedure,which is carried out by the method of mechanical vibration, providing a stimulating effect on muscle structures and increasing their turgor.
The course includes 8-10 sessions.As a result, the skin is tightened and rejuvenated.
Phonophoresis
During the procedure, the specialist introduces anti-aging compounds under the patient’s skin, using ultrasonic vibrations as a conductor.
Efficacy will be determined by the type of medicinal serum.During the session, the skin is not injured.
Electroporation
During the stages of exposure, restorative compounds enter the deep layers of the dermis through electric current.
Efficiency will be determined based on the intensity of exposure and the type of serum.Skin injuries are excluded.
Cryotherapy
The method is based on cold treatment.During manipulation, the human body is exposed to ultra-low temperatures.
Sharp cooling enhances metabolic processes, improves blood circulation, strengthens muscle tone, increases skin elasticity and stimulates tissue to regenerate.
The method is not used for diseases of the heart and blood vessels, as well as for severe claustrophobia and allergic reactions to cold.
Microcurrent therapy
Used to smooth out wrinkles and tighten the skin.
The impact consists of small pulses of electric current,which have a beneficial effect on tissue cells.
Recovery course - 8 manipulations.
Photolifting
The main device used is a laser.It heats the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen fibers and elastin, promoting natural cell restoration.
The laser beam can cause minor injury to the skin,to launch the body's hidden resources for regeneration and enhance cellular metabolism.
The effect allows you to achieve proper skin tightening, eliminate visible pigmentation and vascular defects.
Fractional thermolysis
Fights ptosis and skin defects.The impact is aimed at the formation of microcracks in the skin using a laser.
Damage enhances cellular regeneration and promotes collagen formation.
Elos-lifting
The method includes the simultaneous use of electric current and a flow of radiant energy.
During the session, the deep structures of the dermis are heated, which enhances the production of fibrillar protein and elastin.
Rejuvenation course - 5 sessions.
Myolifting
It is used on all skin types and effectively eliminates ptosis.Electric current affects the skin through electrodes.
The ends of the muscles fall under the action field, and their intense contraction occurs.
Oxygen mesotherapy
It is used for preventive purposes against ptosis and to reduce the severity of facial folds.
The method consists of introducing purified oxygen into the cellular structures under powerful pressure.The integrity of the skin is not compromised.
SMAS - ultrasonic lifting
The method is used using ultrasound.Its effect is aimed at muscle mass, which ensures proper skin elasticity and a clear oval of the face.
The ultrasound wave causes the muscles to contract and the skin to stretch.The method is used as an alternative to plastic surgery.
There is practically no recovery period after the procedure, and the effectiveness remains for 24 months.
For the intimate area
Over the years, the intimate area of many women loses its beauty.The labia have a saggy appearance, and their structure is deformed.
As a result, complexes arise: the woman avoids intimate relationships.Such defects are easily eliminated by hardware cosmetology, or rather its various techniques.
Laser scar correction
With fractional laser resurfacing, the laser beam slowly destroys scar tissue in the intimate area.
Collagen formation is actively stimulated.After the session, the specialist applies a wound-healing ointment and a sedative to the treated area.
The procedure does not require special preparatory measures.The method is safe, effective and painless.
Laser vaginal rejuvenation
The procedure has gained popularity for its minimal invasiveness.A laser with a special attachment is used to treat the vagina.The impact involves treatment to the entire depth of the muscular genital organ.
The mucous membrane of the organ is influenced by regulated thermal forces, stimulating the production of collagen fibers, improving the condition of blood vessels and blood circulation in them.
The vaginal walls receive rapid nutrition, which helps create a tightening effect.The method cannot be used if there is significant prolapse of the vagina.
Laser removal of condylomas
Genital warts develop on the genitals due to infection with the papilloma virus.
The laser removes such formations in one procedureand is considered the most popular way to get rid of condylomas in proctological practice.
The laser beam excises the genital wart, leaving a small scar.The disadvantages of this method include pain during the procedure, which is why local anesthetics are used.
Whitening of the anogenital area
Most women want the skin in their intimate areas to be the same color as other areas of the body.
Laser whitening of the anogenital area allows you to achieve the desired goals.
Laser treatment is aimed at evening out the color and microrelief, which will aesthetically improve the intimate areas.
For 4 shades of whitening, 6 sessions will be required.
For the body
Modern hardware cosmetology offers a huge arsenal of techniques for caring for the dermis of not only the face, but also other parts of the body.
Let's look at existing aesthetic procedures.
For the chest
Women's breasts sag and reduce their elasticity due to sudden weight loss, a long period of lactation, disruptions in the hormonal system, and age-related disorders.
In order to restore their breasts to their former firmness and firmness, women are looking for various methods, among which salon procedures using innovative devices are considered the most effective.
Myostimulation
The procedure is aimed at strengthening the muscles in the chest area.It is more suitable for “lazy” people who do not want to spend a long time in the gym.
Different strengths of pulsed current affect the nerve endings, the resulting signal is delivered to the brain, and then to the desired muscles, which leads to their intense contraction.
With the help of a myostimulator, you can increase your bust by several sizes.
Laser augmentation and tightening
The method is relatively new and is currently actively practiced in the United States.
A pulsating laser beam of a certain length affects the tissue of the mammary glands, improving their condition and functioning. This helps to tighten and enlarge the breasts.A course of 5-7 procedures with an interval of 14 days.
Vacuum massage
This method involves the use of vacuum massagers.The suction force of special bust cups can be adjusted.
The vacuum creates a special pressure, which causes a rush of blood to the mammary glands,which makes the breasts full and toned.
The result lasts no more than a month, so the procedure will need to be repeated regularly.
Microcurrents
This method is used not only as an independent procedure, but also with the use of various anti-aging compounds, which, under the influence of microcurrents, penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis and have a positive effect.
Metabolic processes in tissues are improved, cellular synthesis is intensified, collagen production is stimulated, which rejuvenates the skin of the breast and increases its elasticity.
Anti-cellulite techniques
Hardware cosmetology is also used to combat “orange peel”.
The application is based on performing massage manipulations using special devices that not only reduce the severity of cellulite, but also rejuvenate the skin and prevent aging.
During the procedures, the client does not experience pain, and the results are amazingly effective.
After the procedures, blood circulation in tissues is normalized, lymph flow improves, metabolic processes and cellular nutrition are improved..
Vacuum massage
The principle of the procedure is based on the activation of negative pressure, with which you can speed up local metabolism, remove excess fluid, toxins and enhance the natural restoration of cells.
In addition to eliminating the “orange peel” effect, the technique reduces the patient’s weight and helps burn fat deposits.
The method is carried out in a course of 8 sessions no more than 2 times every 7 days.
LPG massage
The principle of the technique is to treat problem areas with roller devices equipped with the nozzle of the device.
The mechanical effect creates a negative pressure, with the help of which local metabolic processes are optimized. With the help of the procedure, you can achieve comprehensive effectiveness and combat excess fat in a certain area.
Vela Shape
During the procedure, the device gently models the figure.
The impact is based on four areas: electric current, infrared radiation, electromagnetic wave, vacuum. Used to eliminate signs of cellulite and correct local accumulations of subcutaneous fat.
Dersonvalization
During the session, electric current pulses are used, which have a slight strength, but at the same time have a high frequency.
A special electrode delivers pulses with different ranges.The generated discharge causes a spasm of the blood vessels, followed by their sharp relaxation.
Blood flow instantly accelerates, which leads to strengthening of the vascular walls.In addition, metabolic processes in cells improve, tissues receive proper nutrition, and fat layers are broken down.
The result can be noticed after the first session - the height of the bumps on the skin will significantly decrease, and the skin will have a radiant appearance.
Ultrasonic massage
During the session, the cosmetologist influences soft tissues with ultrasonic vibrations, due to which blood circulation and lymph outflow increase, fibroblasts are activated, and dermal cells begin intensive renewal.
This helps break down excess fat.For a visible effect, about 15 procedures will be required.
Shock wave therapy
The UVT device affects the human body with acoustic waves, the range of which is regarded as infrasound.
High-frequency vibrations penetrate the tissue structure without violating the integrity of the skin.
As a result, connective tissues relax, fat cell membranes increase their permeability, blood circulation and lymph flow return to normal, fibrous deposits are resolved, metabolism is restored, and the elasticity of the dermis increases.
Dermotonia
During the session, a special nozzle sucks the top layer of skin into its internal space.Inside the device, special balls massage the dermis in different directions.
The technique allows you to normalize local metabolism, promote the breakdown of fats and improve the appearance of the skin.
Pressotherapy
The technique is based on exposure to a strong air flow.
Pressure is created by a special device and directed to the problem area through a suit with special material, which is put on the client before the procedure.
The powerful pressure helps relieve swelling, enhances blood circulation and lymph outflow.Recommended course - 25 sessions.
Epilation
Hardware cosmetology is actively used to remove unwanted hair on the face and body.There are several effective techniques.
Wax
Epilation using wax is a quick and effective way to get rid of unwanted hair.
The cosmetologist applies hot wax to the skin and covers it with pieces of special fabric.As the substance hardens, the hairs stick firmly to it..
With a sharp movement, the cosmetologist removes the flap, removing the wax along with the vegetation.The price varies depending on the area of the treated area.
Sugaring
The method is based on hair removal with thick sugar syrup.The procedure itself is no different from waxing.
That is, the cosmetologist applies the required amount of sugar paste to a certain area, and then with a sharp movement removes the formed film along with unwanted vegetation.
In this case, the direction of removal is carried out against hair growth.
Enzymatic
The essence of the method is to influence the hair follicles with special chemical compounds.
The enzymes of the substance can destroy the protein structure of not only the dermis, but also the hair, adversely affecting keratin.
The connecting links of the bulb molecules disintegrate and the hairs fall out.To speed up the effect, the specialist warms up the skin with a special device.
Electrolysis
During the procedure, the cosmetologist acts on the hair follicle with electric current.
, which destroys it and blocks further growth.
Treatment of areas with unwanted vegetation is carried out in a targeted manner and therefore requires a long time.
The cost of the procedure will depend on the time it takes place.
Light
The method is based on hair removal using light waves.Let's consider the existing methods of light hair removal.
Photoepilation
Suitable for removing dark hair.During the procedure, the light pulse is absorbed by an enzyme, which contributes to the destruction of the hair in its structure.
The price per session is determined by the number of flashes.
Laser
Effectively removes dark and light hair.There are several types of laser hair removal: ruby, alexandrite, diode, neodymium.
A ray of light can destroy hair through melanin (in a situation with dark hair) or form adhesions on the openings of blood vessels (for light hair), thereby cutting off nutrition to the vegetation.
The price depends on the number of light exposures.
Elos hair removal
This method is based on light and radio frequency energies.Can be used on various types of hair and all skin tones.
The cost is determined based on the number of outbreaks and the duration of the procedure.
