Areas of application of tools in cosmetology
After 40 years, the skin partially loses its elasticity.
Creams and lotions, even the most advanced ones, do not go deep into the skin. Cosmetic products can penetrate to greater depths with hardware therapy methods. Thus, their field of application increases significantly. The external parameters of the skin improve, the processes of wilting slow down significantly.
IMPORTANT: Is it possible to achieve a good effect at home with cosmetology tools? There are devices for stand-alone use. They are effective, albeit low in performance, and must be used for long enough to achieve the expected result.
Mesoporation (non-invasive mesotherapy), ultrasound lifting, electrostimulation are widely used for skin rejuvenation. Electromyostimulation is commonly used to improve oval status and increase muscle tone. Other methods are used to get rid of a wide range of problems. These include age spots, scars and wrinkles, wide pores, and weak tone of the muscles of the face and neck.

Popular cosmetic procedures using hardware
Cleaning and therapeutic procedures using hardware technology have appeared relatively recently. They are constantly being developed, new tools are emerging.
Here is a brief overview of the most popular trends in hardware cosmetology.
Microwave facial treatment
According to research by European experts, stimulation of the skin with a weak electrical current increases the elastin content by 40-50 and collagen by 10-12 percent. The current causes accelerated cell division into the inner layers of the epidermis, which provides them with an additional supply of nutrients due to improved blood flow. The amount of chemical elements inside the skin cells increases. Increased oxygen supply occurs. After the procedure, creams and masks are better absorbed. In order to achieve significant results in improving the skin using microconductive therapy, it is recommended to perform several procedures in full. But even after the first procedure, a significant improvement in the health of the skin is noticeable.
Hardware massage
Aesthetic cosmetology uses a variety of hardware massages to improve skin performance, increase tone, and free up blemishes in the form of wrinkles and cellulite formations. It is also actively used for weight loss and body contouring. In addition to cosmetic functions, this massage has significant healing properties. 
Before the self-massage, the skin is cleansed, the device should be moved along the massage lines, in each place for a maximum of 2-3 minutes.
Do not touch the device where there are moles, papillomas or inflamed areas. The massager usually has various settings that can be set to the desired mode. It depends on which area of the body or face it affects and for what purpose. Now types of device massages such as lymphatic drainage, vacuum, vibration, water are popular.
INFO: The combination of massage and physiotherapy has resulted in methods that can be used to improve skin parameters using devices. Hardware cosmetology includes a wide range of procedures for the face and body, the photos show the skin before and after the treatment, you can notice the differences, advantages and disadvantages, take into account the contraindications.
Some indications for cosmetic massage:
- weak skin color that sags on the face;
- cramps, muscle cramps; the presence of
- wrinkles;
- swelling;
- skin tightening;
- cellulite, overweight.
Such a massage can be contraindicated in various skin diseases, allergies, metabolic disorders. In order to be sure of the benefits of hardware massage procedures, you should consult your doctor and, if necessary, undergo a general examination.
Darsonvalization
This method was originally used to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes in physiotherapy. Its name comes from the surnames of the French physicist and physiotherapist d'Arsonval. High-voltage alternating current in large parts of the body is introduced through glass tubes. In cosmetology, this procedure has become popular due to 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 tool you can quickly get rid of acne, pimples, inflammation. It is also possible to preserve the beauty of the skin by timely treatment of fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, getting rid of excess oil or dryness. Such devices cope well with spider veins and skin regeneration. High-frequency current increases blood circulation and activates metabolic processes in the skin.
Facial myostimulation
The procedure of myostimulation can be performed both in beauty salons, aesthetic medical centers and at home. The device acts on the muscles with a series of electrical impulses (through the electrodes of the skin). Muscle contractions resulting from device stimulation may correlate with contractions during maximal exercise. This contributes to a significant increase in skin tone and smoothness. The following steps are usually required to use the machine:
- cleansing the skin from cosmetics;
- set the required duration and intensity;
- electrodes should be symmetrical when placed on the face or body;
- enable active mode of the device;
- moves the electrodes to the next stage;
- treatment of cosmetic products.
INFO: Myostimulants are attached to the desired part of the body and do not require manual manipulation, allowing you to perform other operations during procedures or just relax. Most muscle stimulators are powered by batteries. There are contraindications to their use, so it is advisable to consult a specialist first before using it.
Microdermabrasion
This is a method of rejuvenating the skin using abrasives. It is based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate keratinized skin parts. Abrasive microparticles have good penetration properties. Exfoliation (skin rejuvenation) frees up space for further growth of skin tissue. Currently, the devices use two types of abrasives: diamond powder and alumina. After processing, the residual abrasive powder is removed by vacuum.
Cryotherapy
This method relies on the body's response to cooling. After a strong, short-term drop in temperature, various hormones, including endorphins, adrenaline, are released into the skin and immunity and blood supply increase. Beauty salons now use a number of different hardware cryotherapy methods. Some of these are:
- hardware cryospray: liquid nitrogen (-180 to -50 degrees) is sprayed through a special device;
- cryoelectrophoresis: frozen chemicals are injected under the skin using electrical impulses;
- cryochamber: chambers with cold air and nitrogen (-130 degrees) for the whole body.
Electroplating
These devices are based on the use of weak electrical pulses (40-50mA) low voltage. Its effect causes an increase in histamine, serotonin and other active components in the subcutaneous layer. Iontophoresis and disinfection are used in cosmetic technologies. The first type of devices transmit current to the surface of the skin through special fastenings. It is used to treat couperosis, acne, pigmentation and to smooth facial wrinkles. The second type of device is designed for cleaning. Combines the use of alkaline solutions with electroplating. The relaxation of the skin contributes to its deep degreasing and the release of scales from the dead skin.
Hardware peeling efficiency
Hardware peeling, unlike manual peeling, allows you to achieve the effects of youth and freshness in less time. The various exfoliations that use the tools cleanse and nourish all layers of the epidermis. The cleansing is deep and involves cellular levels. Devices for other purposes, such as ultrasonic and laser liposuction devices, operate on the principles of tissue cleansing and stimulation. These methods are used to remove excess fat deposits. Laser peeling not only removes the top layer of the epidermis, but also increases blood circulation and muscle tone when exposed to light waves. Innovative laser refurbishment with fractionated lasers, with very deep cleaning, does virtually no damage.
INFO: The device category of aesthetic medicine procedures, unlike the invasive category, is less complicated, painless, and non-traumatic. Perfect for those who call for minimal interference with the body’s natural processes.
There is a hardware shell for home use. In particular, ultrasonic exfoliating machines cleanse the skin, remove dead particles, thereby stimulating metabolic processes and the growth of new cells. With enlarged pores, they contribute to their narrowing. The result of the procedure is an increase in the smoothness of the skin, its color changes to warmer and fresher shades. Mechanical and vacuum peeling nozzles are also common in home appliances.
More complex types of exfoliation are performed by specialists in aesthetic medicine salons and centers.
Non-surgical rejuvenation has become available with the advent of hardware types in cosmetology. This field of aesthetic medicine constantly offers interesting beauty programs. New devices are being made, the old ones are being developed with modern technologies in mind. Many devices use a complex of several effects at once: vacuum, ultrasonic, electric. For example, in a method like lymphatic drainage. The procedure improves lymphatic movement, resulting in reduced edema, restoration of metabolic processes in the body, and increased blood circulation.
Hardware cosmetics use state-of-the-art tools designed specifically for facials, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by many photos taken before and after application, the benefits of this method far outweigh the disadvantages, and there are few contraindications. Traditional beauty products (creams or masks) combined with the latest technology give excellent results and help you look harmonious and youthful.
