Navigating the world of at-home skin care products is challenging. These are not decorative cosmetics selected by testers or a cream selected by a sample. These are serious devices that have a very high cost, but allow you to perform salon-level procedures, which were previously only available at cosmetologists, without leaving home.
The technological capabilities we face grow every month, which is why in this article we have compiled dermatologist-approved beauty devices aimed at increasing the effectiveness of skin care products.
Water peeling
Indications:
- enlarged pores, comedones;
- excessive secretion of sebum (sebum);
- pigmentation, acne marks;
- problem skin;
- dehydration, peeling;
- dullness, unevenness in the general tone of the face.
We all want soft, radiant, more youthful-looking skin. Although we tested various face masks and 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 in which a special nozzle supplies liquid under high pressure, separating dead epidermal cells from the surface of the skin. At the same time, the liquid removes impurities from the pores, cleaning them deeply.
The absolute safety and atraumatic nature of this device allow its use without restrictions, from 14 years of age.
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 body's natural electrical currents. The microcurrent stimulates energy production, which triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. As a result, rejuvenation works: the skin becomes more toned, firm, elastic, and a natural glow appears.
These devices work best as a preventive measure against age-related changes. Microcurrent technology certainly does not replace surgical or esthetician procedures, so it is best to think of microcurrent technology as a way to maintain youthful, healthy skin. For example, if you have undergone treatment with a cosmetologist and want your skin to be taut and your oval contoured for as long as possible, microcurrent devices can help you.
Contraindications:
- malignant oncological diseases;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system with rhythm disturbances;
- pacemaker;
- epilepsy;
- the pregnancy;
- violation of the integrity of the skin;
- Purulent inflammatory processes in the application area.
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 on the face and the device works on top. The gel makes the procedure completely painless; If you feel discomfort, check if the gel layer is not dense enough.
Microcurrent therapy does not require a rehabilitation period after the procedures; However, to obtain noticeable results, regular home sessions are required, 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 a decrease in collagen and elastin production;
- sagging skin.
Modeling devices for use in skin lifting.galvanic 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 the past, electroplating machines were extremely bulky and, if used incorrectly, created a risk of galvanic burns. Now, these are high-tech devices that are safe even when used at home.
The second way to influence the fabric 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 into the skin, warming the underlying tissue and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This procedure also causes fibroplasia, a process in which the body produces new fibrous tissue, causing 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 elasticity and tone is firmed.
Radiofrequency skin tightening devices can be used for facial rejuvenation and body contouring at home. Home RF devices provide less energy 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.
A complementary strengthening technique used in cosmetic devices ischromotherapy.
Chromotherapy is a fairly popular cosmetic procedure. The 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 the skin's 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 calms sensitive, irritated and rosacea-prone skin, activates 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 medications;
- 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 draw skin toward a rotating disc, which exfoliates dead skin as you move the tool across the surface. Exfoliating pads range from softer for sensitive skin to rougher for deep exfoliation.
Microdermabrasion combines two methods of action: mechanical exfoliation and vacuum removal of dead cells. The mechanical action helps renew the skin, leaving it soft, uniform and radiant. Vacuum suction also improves blood circulation and activates the regeneration mechanism.
Microdermabrasion can also remove pigmentation, smooth fine wrinkles and enlarged pores.
Contraindications:
- damaged skin, open wounds;
- skin diseases (herpes, vascular diseases, neoplasms);
- for skin irritation;
- immediately after sunbathing;
- use of anticoagulants 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 that, with their vibrations, expel dirt from the pores. Ultrasonic cleaning is a gentle procedure. It is suitable for sensitive skin prone to rosacea that does not usually respond well to other exfoliation methods.
Ultrasonic cleaning is performed on a special gel that loosens the top layer of skin. One such 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;
- the pregnancy.
In recent years, technology and skincare have come closer than ever, which can't help but make us wonder: could there come a day when all our serums and creams become obsolete and are replaced by a host of of high quality products? Technological tools and devices? Exhale: probably not. But that doesn't mean beauty items aren't taking up space on bathroom shelves and affecting the cosmetics industry as we know it.
