Navigating the world of at-home skincare products is challenging. This is not about decorative cosmetics selected using testers and not about 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 at cosmetologists, without leaving your home.
The technological capabilities we deal with are growing every month, so in this article we've rounded up dermatologist-approved beauty devices aimed at increasing the effectiveness of skincare products.
Water peeling
Directions:
- enlarged pores, comedones;
- excessive secretion of sebum (sebum);
- pigmentation, acne marks;
- problem skin;
- dehydration, flaking;
- dullness, irregularities in the general tone of the face.
We all want smooth, glowing skin that looks younger. Although we try 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 delivers liquid at high pressure, separating dead epidermal cells from the surface of the skin. At the same time, the liquid washes away impurities from the pores, cleansing them deeply.
The absolute safety and atraumatic nature of this device allows it to be used without restrictions, starting 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, breastfeeding.
Microcurrents
Directions:
- prevention and fight against the first age-related changes;
- loss of skin elasticity and 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 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, compact, elastic and a natural glow appears.
These devices work best as a preventative measure against age-related changes. Microcurrent technology certainly does not replace aesthetic or surgical procedures, so it is best to think of microcurrent technology as a way to keep your skin healthy and youthful. For example, if you have undergone treatment by a cosmetologist and want your skin to be tightened and your oval shaped for as long as possible, microcurrent devices can help you with this.
Contraindications:
- malignant oncological diseases;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system with rhythm disorders;
- pacemaker;
- epilepsy;
- pregnancy;
- violation of the integrity of the skin;
- purulent inflammatory processes in the area of application.
To use microcurrent you need a conductor. 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 of it. The gel makes the procedure completely painless; if you feel discomfort, check whether the gel layer is perhaps not thick enough.
Microcurrent therapy does not require a rehabilitation period after the procedures, however, to achieve noticeable results, regular sessions at home are needed - 3 to 5 per week for two months.
Lifting techniques
Directions:
- age-related changes in the skin of the face and body;
- loss of elasticity associated with decreased production of collagen and elastin;
- skin relaxation.
Modeling devices for skin lifting usegalvanic current- a type of current that accelerates blood circulation, promoting 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, electroplating technologies are highly developed. In the past, galvanic machines were extremely bulky and, if used incorrectly, carried the risk of galvanic burns. Now these are high-tech devices that are safe even when used at home.
The second way to affect tissues 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 machine to the skin, heating 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 narrower. At the same time, the molecules that make up collagen remain intact. Elasticity increases, skin that has lost elasticity and tone is firmed.
Radio frequency 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 a visit to a specialist once or twice a year.
An accompanying 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 penetrating 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 soothes sensitive, irritated and rosacea-prone skin, activates regeneration and repair mechanisms.
Contraindications:
- acute infectious and viral diseases;
- oncology;
- presence of a pacemaker;
- skin diseases;
- acne rosacea;
- the presence of silicone, metal implants, gold threads in the area of influence;
- take dermatotropic drugs;
- after sunbathing;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Microdermabrasion
Directions:
- dull complexion;
- uneven terrain;
- "unhealthy" skin color;
- hyperkeratosis.
Even at home, a microdermabrasion session promises to exfoliate, smooth and brighten the skin. A 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 gentle ones for sensitive skin to rough ones for deep exfoliation.
Microdermabrasion combines two methods of action: mechanical exfoliation and suction removal of dead cells. The mechanical action helps renew the skin, making it smooth, uniform and luminous. Vacuum suction also improves blood circulation and activates the regeneration mechanism.
Microdermabrasion can also eliminate pigmentation, smooth out fine wrinkles and large 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
Directions:
- oily skin;
- enlarged pores;
- excessive sebum secretion;
- comedones (open, closed);
- sebaceous plugs.
Technically it 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 delicate procedure. It is suitable for sensitive, rosacea-prone skin that usually does not respond well to other exfoliation methods.
Ultrasonic cleaning is performed over a special gel that dissolves the top layer of the skin. Such a remedy could be aloe gel.
Contraindications:
- arrhythmia;
- blood diseases, thrombophlebitis;
- electronic systems;
- oncology;
- damaged skin;
- chronic skin diseases in the acute phase;
- inflammatory and purulent processes;
- pregnancy.
In recent years, technology and skincare have become closer than ever, 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 quality products? technological tools and devices? Exhale: Probably not. But that doesn't mean beauty gadgets won't take up space on bathroom shelves and impact the cosmetics industry as we know it.
