How RF lifting works?

RF means exposure to electric current. During the procedure, radio waves affect the skin, 

heat its layers to 65 degrees, stimulate the production of collagen and elastane. At this 

temperature, protein tissues become hard, due to which wrinkles are evened out, and the 

skin almost instantly gains tone. A high-quality device can give a visible effect already in 

the first three procedures. The procedure is completely safe if you use a high-quality device. 

But you should be careful with cheap fakes. Tempted by a low price, you can seriously harm 

your skin and even speed up the aging process. 

The temperature to which the skin layers are heated also helps break down fats into glycerol 

and fatty acids. After this, the composition of the dermis itself changes significantly. It is 

precisely because of the deep impact on the layers of the skin that the procedure has become 

so popular among women. No cream can produce such changes to the face and body. 

Based on the design principle of the electrodes (device components), RF devices are divided 

into two main groups:

1. RF devices with conductive electrodes. The metal that conducts the current is in direct contact

2. with the tissue, and the electrodes are located close to each other.

3. RF devices with inductive electrodes . The conductive metal is protected by a special membrane

4. and does not come into direct contact with the skin. In this case, the phenomenon of induction helps

5. conduct current in the tissue: charged particles begin to move under the influence of the electric field

6. created by the current in the metal part of the electrode. A high-quality device enhances the impact

7. of any cosmetic products, actually driving them into the skin.

The more powerful the RF device, the more it can warm up the deeper layers of the skin. 

This will make the cosmetic effect much stronger. The power of such devices can be from 

a few to several hundred watts.

How to choose the optimal power
Power directly affects the heating temperature of tissues, which is why it is given such 

great importance. The first thing you should pay attention to when purchasing a device 

is the presence of a temperature control sensor. It is also important to check its serviceability 

directly in the store. If you have already checked the functionality of the device and 

purchased it, you should know what power it can operate at:

1. 50 degrees is a fairly safe temperature at which you can work for about 20 seconds;

2. 45 degrees - the exposure time of the device can be increased to 70-80 seconds;

3. from 55 to 60 degrees - this temperature can be used, but you need to have skill. The fact is that

4. the skin can withstand such a degree only for a few seconds. Typically, professional cosmetologists

5. work in this mode. If you are purchasing an RF device for home use, you should not take the risk.

6. It's better to try a lower temperature.
   

When using the device at home, many people, due to inexperience, make the following 

mistake: they use the RF device for 20 minutes or more at a temperature of about 40 degrees. 

Despite the low temperature, working in this mode can cause irreversible consequences in 

the skin. The RF device must be used strictly according to the instructions, without experimenting 

with time and different temperatures without consulting an expert.

Efficiency of RF devices
A huge advantage of all RF devices is that they work equally well on any skin color, which 

cannot be said about, for example, IPL effects. It is better to choose an RF device with 

several attachments that have different distances between the electrodes. This makes 

it much more convenient to work with skin areas of different volumes and eliminate aesthetic 

problems. 

The minimum number of attachments is three: one will fight acne and acne, the second will 

be used for procedures with vacuum capture, and the third will solve the problem of cellulite. 

A high-quality and functional device usually solves a number of problems: 

1. improves skin tone;

2. fights rosacea of the face or legs;

3. eliminates scars after injuries;

4. makes stretch marks less noticeable;

5. tightens or corrects the oval of the face;

6. eliminates cellulite and fat deposits;

7. removes fine and deep expression wrinkles.

Although the device is considered strong in its effects, during the procedure most people 

feel only pleasant warmth. The device will never leave burns or scars on your body. Its use 

is safe. RF lifting is loved by both young and old ladies. None of the categories are bothered 

by slight redness of the skin for several hours after the procedure, and the noticeable rejuvenating 

effect will please you for many months. 

Rules for good RF lifting 

In order not to waste time and money in vain, you need to take into account some rules 

during and after the RF procedure: 

1. It is strictly forbidden to combine this procedure with other cosmetic procedures. In this case, more

2. is not better;

3. during the first three days you should avoid the sauna, gym, beach or solarium;

4. You can’t stay outside for a long time at very low temperatures;

5. do not rub the skin with scrubs, cleansing sponges, washcloths, etc.;

6. Alcohol should also not be taken. It is not a strict contraindication, but it significantly reduces the

7. cosmetic effect.

Contraindications for RF 

Even the best things have their contraindications. Unfortunately for some buyers, not everyone 

can use this type of cosmetology. Among the contraindications: 

1. oncology and diabetes; 

2. pregnancy and lactation;

3. presence of implants and prostheses;

4. too active inflammation on the skin;

5. combination with Botox injections;

6. the presence of open wounds, exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Don't neglect your health if you have anything on this list. If you still decide, it is better to first 

consult a doctor. Otherwise, RF lifting pleases with its effectiveness, regardless of gender. It suits 

men and women equally well. Since salon procedures are quite expensive, and home RF devices 

are in unprecedented demand, our experts have prepared for you a rating of the best of them.
