Popular hardware beauty treatments
Cleaning and therapeutic procedures using hardware technology have emerged relatively recently. They are constantly improving, new devices are appearing.
We offer you a brief overview of the most popular trends in hardware cosmetology.
Microcurrent facial therapy
According to research by European experts, stimulation of the skin with a weak electric current increases the content of elastin in it by 40-50 percent, collagen - by 10-12 percent. As a result of the action of current on the inner layers of the epidermis, there is an accelerated division of cells, an additional supply of nutrients to improve blood flow. The amount of chemical elements inside the skin cells increases. An increased oxygen supply appears. After the procedure, creams and masks are better absorbed. In order to achieve significant results in skin improvement using microcurrent therapy, it is desirable to undergo a full course of several procedures. But even after the first procedure, a significant improvement in skin health indicators is noticeable.
Hardware massage
In aesthetic cosmetology, many hardware massages are used to improve skin performance, increase tone, remove blemishes in the form of wrinkles and cellulite formations. It is also actively used for weight loss and body shaping. This massage, in addition to cosmetic functions, also has significant healing properties. 
Before self-massage, the skin is cleansed, the device must move along the massage lines, no more than 2-3 minutes in each place.
Avoid touching the device where there are moles, papillomas, or inflamed areas. The massage machine usually has different settings that can be adjusted to the desired mode. It depends on which area of the body or face is affected and for what purpose. Such types of devices as lymphatic drainage, vacuum, vibrations, water are now popular.
INFO: a combination of massage and physiotherapy has led to methods to improve skin parameters using the apparatus. Hardware cosmetology includes many types of procedures for the face and body, in the photos you can see the skin before and after the treatment, notice the differences, advantages and disadvantages, take into account the contraindications.
Some indications for cosmetic massage:
- weak skin tone, leading to sagging cheeks;
- cramps, muscle cramps;
- presence of wrinkles;
- swelling;
- stretching of the skin;
- cellulite, overweight.
Darsonvalization
This method was originally used to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes in physiotherapy. Its name comes from the surname of the French physicist and physiotherapist d'Arsonval. High-frequency high-voltage alternating current is applied to body parts through glass tubes. In cosmetology, this procedure has become popular because of its availability, lack of side effects and simplicity.
The device is small and quite effective not only in beauty salons, but also at home. With this device you can quickly get rid of acne, acne, inflammation. It is also possible to keep the skin beautiful, timely treating fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, getting rid of excess oil or dryness. Such devices cope well with spider veins and skin regeneration. Under the influence of high-frequency current, blood circulation increases and metabolic processes in the skin are activated.
Facial myostimulation
The myostimulation procedure can be performed in beauty salons and centers for aesthetic medicine, as well as at home. The device acts on the muscles through a series of electrical impulses (through skin electrodes). Muscle contractions from apparatus stimulation may be associated with contractions during maximal physical exertion. This contributes to a significant increase in skin tone and smoothness. The following steps are usually required to use the device:
- skin cleansing from cosmetics;
- setting the required duration and intensity;
- by placing electrodes on the face or body, they should be symmetrical;
- enable active device mode;
- moving the electrode to the next section;
- application of cosmetic care products.
INFO: myostimulants are fixed on the desired part of the body and do not require manual manipulation, which allows you to do other things during the procedure or simply relax. Most muscle stimulators are powered by batteries. There are some contraindications for their use, so it is advisable to consult a specialist first before using.
Microdermabrasion
This is an abrasive skin rejuvenation method. It is based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate keratinized parts of the skin. Abrasive microparticles have good penetrating properties. Esfoliation frees up space for further growth of skin tissue. Currently, the devices use two types of abrasive substances: diamond dust and aluminum dioxide. After processing, the remaining abrasive dust is removed by vacuum.
Cryotherapy
This method relies on the body's response to cooling. After a strong short-term decrease in temperature, various hormones, including endorphins, adrenaline, are released into the skin, and immunity and blood supply increase. Nowadays, several different types of cryotherapy devices are practiced in beauty salons. Some of them are:
- hardware cryo-spray: liquid nitrogen (from -180 to -50 degrees) is sprayed through a special device;
- cryoelectrophoresis: frozen chemicals are injected under the skin using electrical impulses;
- cryochambers: chambers with cold air and nitrogen (-130 degrees) for the whole body.
Galvanotherapy
These devices are based on the use of weak electrical pulses (40-50mA) of low voltage. Its effect causes an increase in the content of histamine, serotonin and other active components in the subcutaneous layer. Devices for iontophoresis and disinfection are used in cosmetic technology. The first type of device transmits electricity to the surface of the skin through specialized extensions. It is used to treat couperosis, acne, pigmentation, smoothing wrinkles on the face. Another type of device is designed for cleaning. It combines the use of alkaline solutions with galvanizing. Releasing the skin contributes to its deep degreasing and removal of dead skin flakes.
Hardware peeling performance
Hardware peeling, unlike manual peeling, allows you to achieve the effect of youth and freshness in a shorter time. Various types of peeling with the help of the device cleanse and help nourish all layers of the epidermis. The cleansing is deep and involves the cellular level. Devices for other purposes, for example devices for ultrasound, laser liposuction, work on the principles of cleansing and tissue stimulation. These methods remove excess weight, fat deposits. Laser peeling not only removes the upper layer of the epidermis, but also increases blood circulation and muscle tone when exposed to light waves. Innovative re-surface laser application with fractional lasers, with very deep cleaning, practically causes no damage.
INFO: The category of devices in aesthetic medicine, unlike the invasive category, is less complex, painless and not traumatic to use. It is perfect for those who advocate minimal disruption of natural processes in the body.
There is a hardware peel for home use. Ultrasonic peeling devices especially clean the skin, remove dead particles, thus stimulating metabolic processes and the growth of new cells. Enlarged pores contribute to their narrowing. The result of the procedure is an increase in the smoothness of the skin, a change in color to warmer and fresher shades. Nozzles for mechanical and vacuum peeling are also common for home appliances.
More complex types of peeling are done by specialists in salons and aesthetic medicine centers.
Rejuvenation without surgery has become available with the advent of hardware types of cosmetology. This area of aesthetic medicine constantly offers interesting programs to care for your appearance. New devices are being created, and old ones are being improved by taking into account modern technologies. Many devices use a complex of several types of effects at once: vacuum, ultrasonic and electric. For example, in a method such as lymphatic drainage. The procedure improves the movement of lymph, which results in a reduction of edema, restoration of metabolic processes in the body and increased blood circulation.
High-tech devices are used in hardware cosmetology, created especially for facial care procedures, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by numerous photos before and after application, the advantages of this method far outweigh the disadvantages, and there are few contraindications. Traditional beauty care products (creams or masks) combined with the latest technology give excellent results and help you look harmonious and youthful.
