What is Radio Wave Lifting?
RFlifting (or RFlifting) of the face and body is a therapy of age-related changes based on the radio wave method of heating the deeper layers of the skin (dermis and hypodermis) below the epidermis (surface layer).
The essence of the method lies in the point effect of radio waves on the most vulnerable areas, where cellulite and sacs are most often formed, which are characterized by age-related sagging. These are the areas of the face - forehead, temples, cheeks, nasolabial triangle, from the chin and neck to the thyroid cartilage; and torso - abdomen, inner thigh, sides (above the iliac pelvic bones). Also, radiofrequency lifting of the whole body is used.
As a result of deep heating to different temperatures (depending on the area and sensitivity of the skin), the fatty sublayer becomes thinner, the vessels expand reflexively, and with the acceleration of blood flow, metabolism in the skin is accelerated. But the main thing is that changes occur with collagen: it changes its structure - the long stretched fibers connecting the dermis and epidermis shorten, and the skin regains firmness and elasticity. After 21 daysIntensive production of new collagen is triggered, providing a long-lasting effect.
As a result, the "fly" is noticeably tightened, eyebrows are raised, nasolabial folds become less pronounced, acne scars and stretch marks are smoothed and reduced. The effect of orange peel disappears. To the touchFor the skin becomes more elastic, the complexion becomes even: the shadows under the eyes brighten, the yellow color is replaced by pink.

This tool should not be used on fine areas of skin including the area around the eyes (crow's feet only). Suitable for the treatment of cellulite as part of body shaping
- Bipolar.Polarity switchable to reduce power and temperature (up to 45)heyc), so the tool is suitable for delicate areas. Does not create magnetic field
