RF-lifting is a method for comprehensive rejuvenation and thermolift, on the basis of the effects of high frequency electromagnetic radiation on the skin. The procedure is performed in a special apparatus, which controls the level of radiation at different sites, measured by heating the different layers of the skin.
The result is sent to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, improves the saturation of skin cells with oxygen and increases lymph flow, eliminates toxins and wastes. The effect of the procedure, — improve the color of the skin, increases the tone and elasticity of the skin, disappearance of the effect of a "blurry" face.
Types of RF-lifting

- Tripolar is an innovative type of procedure, involving the cooperation of a number of electrodes in a process which provides a permanent replacement of the poles. During this procedure, RF energy affects the various depths of the skin. This technique combines all the advantages of the previous one.
Depending on the tasks and role of the RF-lifting, the specialist picks up all types of proceedings.

How it works the device RF-lifting?
In the lower and middle layers of the skin, which are collagen fibers — elastic substance, one of whose tasks is to ensure the skin tone. The collagen threads can be depending on the springs, which are woven into the fabric of the skin. It provides firmness and elasticity of young skin. With age, collagen production reduces. The skin, without the support in the form of threads, SAG, wrinkly, and crinkly mesh.
Thermal lifting (RF-lifting) effect on the protein fibres, which are exposed to high temperatures (around 60 - 65 C) are reduced and spirally twist — provides an immediate lifting effect. In addition, stimulation of the immune system, which starts to work dual. Activates the production of elastin and collagen. The skin becomes firmer, wrinkles are reduced, increasing skin tone. Thus, in contrast to this, that it gives the same result of the operational methods of elimination leaves no scars or stitches. The procedure is completely safe, even for sensitive skin and has zero carcinogenic effect.
The result of the procedure thermolift
The appearance of wrinkles and gravitational ptosis – due to age-related skin changes. RF-lifting (lifting) hardware, a method, which simultaneously solves the following issues:
- The tightening of facial contours, including the elimination of "second chin" and allows for elimination of the ptosis (drooping skin);
- Elimination of the "bags" under the eyes and dark circles as it improves the microcirculation, brightens your skin;
- Elimination of fat and contraction of the body: belly, thighs and buttocks;
- Improves the condition of skin with cellulite, smoothes stretch marks (striae). In the area where the skin is particularly thin (hands, neck, decollete), strengthens and tightens the skin;
- Lifting the eyelids and smoothing the lines;
- Reduce the depth of wrinkles, including nasolabial, around the eyes and deep wrinkles on the forehead.
The procedure of RF-lifting
The advantage of the RF-lifting from the other hardware techniques is that results are seen fairly quickly, after 1-2 treatments, the full effect can be achieved in the performance of 5 sessions. After completing the course, strengthening processes, renewal of cells and for a period of six months. It is usually the effect of the procedure lasts up to two years, but for the preservation of the result, it is recommended to be carried out every six months for the procedure.
Before starting the procedure cosmetologist puts on the skin a cooling gel. If the patient has an increased threshold for pain, before the procedure a local anesthetic is used. After that, the specialist starts with the use of the device, which carries out a processing problem areas. The procedure lasts from 15 minutes to 2 hours. This depends on the extent of the area. The number of sessions can be increased or reduced, but the final decision is taken only by a doctor.
After the procedure the client is not recommended for 1-2 weeks for a visit to the hot sauna or steam bath, sunbathing on the beach or in the Solarium. Even doctors do not recommended in this period of exercise and physical activity.

It is recommended after the procedure to avoid:
- Hiking in the sauna, steam bath;
- physical activity;
- UV rays.
Lifting and RF-lifting — what's the difference?
Lifting is also called heat. This was also on the basis of the radio waves radiation. Many people think that radiowave facelift, and Thermage is the same, but there are some differences:
- the different temperature effects: when the thermas, the skin was heated to 60° C, and when the radio wave lifting - up to 40° C;
- in contrast, RF-lifting, while thermas structure of the collagen molecules is completely changed;
- the frequency and the intensity of the current: a method of thermolift includes the operation of the monopolar energy with a high frequency, while on the radio wave lifting is a lot weaker.
Apparatus for thermolift must be equipped with special coolers, which prevents burns on the epidermis.
How many procedures?
To obtain sustainable results, it is recommended that, depending on the condition of the skin for the management of the RF - lifting 6-8 times (the time interval to 10-12 days). After the first procedure noticeable the first visible change. After 21 days, it will start a full-fledged rejuvenation process starts when the active production of collagen. For the preservation of the influence, throughout the whole course of treatment, you will need to visit the office of a cosmetologist, one to two times per year.
