Areas of application of devices in cosmetology
After 40 years, the skin partially loses its elastic qualities.
Creams and care products, even the most advanced ones, do not penetrate into the deep layer of the skin.Cosmetics can penetrate to great depths through hardware therapy methods.Thus, the area of their application increases significantly.The external indicators of the skin improve, and the aging process slows down significantly.
IMPORTANT: is it possible to achieve a good effect at home using cosmetic devices?There are devices for independent use.They are effective, although they have little power and require quite a long period of use to obtain the expected result.
Mesoporation (non-invasive mesotherapy), ultrasonic lifting, and electrical stimulation are widely used for skin rejuvenation.To improve the oval shape and increase muscle tone, electromyostimulation is usually used.Other methods are used to get rid of a wide range of problems.These are, for example, age spots, scars and wrinkles, wide pores, weak tone of the muscles of the face and neck.

Popular cosmetic procedures using hardware equipment
Cleansing and therapeutic procedures using hardware technologies have emerged relatively recently.They are constantly being improved and new devices appear.
We offer you a brief overview of the most popular trends in hardware cosmetology.
Microcurrent facial therapy
According to research by European specialists, stimulation of the skin with a weak electric current helps to increase the content of elastin in it by 40-50 percent, collagen by 10-12 percent.As a result of the influence of current on the inner layers of the epidermis, accelerated cell division occurs, additionally supplying them with nutrients due to improved blood flow.The amount of chemical elements inside skin cells increases.There is an increased supply of oxygen.After the procedure, creams and masks are better absorbed.To achieve significant results in improving the skin using microcurrent therapy, it is advisable to complete a full course of several procedures.But even after the first procedure, a significant improvement in skin health is noticeable.
Hardware massage
In aesthetic cosmetology, types of hardware massage are used to improve skin parameters, increase tone, and get rid of defects in the form of folds and cellulite formations.It is also actively used for weight loss and tightening body contours.This massage, in addition to its cosmetic functions, has significant healing properties.
Before self-massage, the skin is cleaned, the device must be moved along the massage lines, no more than 2-3 minutes in each place.
It is necessary to avoid touching the device in places where there are moles, papillomas or inflamed areas.The massage machine usually has different settings that can be set to the desired mode.It depends on what area of the body or face is being affected and for what purpose.Nowadays, such types of hardware massage as lymphatic drainage, vacuum, vibration, and water are popular.
INFO: the combination of massage and physiotherapy has given rise to methods for improving skin parameters using devices.Hardware cosmetology includes many types of procedures for the face and body; in the photographs you can see the skin before and after treatment, notice the differences, pros and cons, and take into account contraindications.
Some indications for cosmetic massage:
- weak skin tone, leading to sagging cheeks;

- cellulite, excess weight.
Contraindications to such a massage may include various skin diseases, allergies, and metabolic disorders.To be sure of the benefits of hardware massage procedures, you need to consult with a medical specialist and, if necessary, undergo a general examination.
Darsonvalization
Initially, this method was used to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes in physiotherapy.Its name comes from the name of the French physicist and physiotherapist d’Arsonval.High-frequency, high-voltage alternating current is supplied to areas of the body through glass tubes.In cosmetology, this procedure has become popular due to its accessibility, lack of side effects and simplicity.
The device is small in size and quite effective not only in beauty salons, but also at home.With this device you can quickly get rid of pimples, acne, and inflammation.It is also possible to keep your skin looking beautiful by promptly treating small wrinkles, enlarged pores, and getting rid of excess oiliness 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 carried out both in beauty salons and aesthetic medicine centers, and at home.The device applies a series of electrical impulses to the muscles (via skin electrodes).Muscle contractions from stimulation by the device can be correlated with contractions during maximum physical activity.This helps to significantly improve skin tone and smoothness.Typically, the following steps are required to use the machine:
- cleansing the skin of cosmetics;
- setting the required duration and intensity;
- installation of electrodes on the face or body, they must be symmetrical;
- turning on the active mode of the device;
- moving the electrodes to the next area;
- use of cosmetics for care.
INFO: myostimulators are attached to the desired part of the body and do not require manual manipulation, which allows you to do other things or just relax during the procedures.Most muscle stimulators are powered by batteries.There are some contraindications for their use, so it is advisable to first consult a specialist before starting use.
Microdermabrasion
This is a method of polishing leather using abrasives.It is based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate the keratinized parts of the skin.Microparticles of abrasives have good penetrating properties.Esfoliation (resurfacing of the skin) frees up space for further growth of skin tissue.Currently, two types of abrasive substances are used in devices: diamond dust and aluminum dioxide.After treatment, any remaining abrasive dust is removed using a vacuum.
Cryotherapy
This method relies on the body's response to cooling.After a strong short-term drop in temperature, various hormones are released into the skin, including endorphins, adrenaline, immunity and blood supply increase.Nowadays, several different types of hardware cryotherapy methods are practiced in beauty salons.Here are some of them:
- hardware cryospray: liquid nitrogen (from -180 to -50 degrees) is sprayed through a special device;
- cryoelectrophoresis: frozen chemicals are injected under the skin through 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 impulses (40-50mA) of low voltage.Its effect causes an increase in the content of histamine, serotonin and other active components in the subcutaneous layer.In cosmetic technologies, devices for iontophoresis and disincrustation are used.The first type of device transmits current to the skin surface through specialized attachments.It is used to treat rosacea, acne, pigmentation, and smooth out facial wrinkles.The second type of device is designed for cleaning.It combines the use of alkaline solutions with galvanization.Loosening the skin helps to deeply degrease it and get rid of dead scales.
The effectiveness of hardware peeling
Hardware peeling, unlike manual peeling, allows you to achieve the effect of youth and freshness in a shorter time.Different types of peelings using devices cleanse and help nourish all layers of the epidermis.Cleansing occurs deeply and involves the cellular level.Devices for other purposes, for example, devices for ultrasound and laser liposuction, operate on the principles of tissue cleansing and stimulation.These methods are used to remove excess weight and fatty tissue deposits.Laser peeling not only removes the top layer of the epidermis, it increases blood circulation and muscle tone during irradiation with light waves.Innovative laser resurfacing using fractional lasers for very deep cleaning causes virtually no damage.
INFO: The hardware category of procedures in aesthetic medicine, in contrast to the invasive category, is less complex, more painless and non-traumatic in use.It is perfect for those who support minimal intervention in the natural processes of the body.
There is hardware peeling for home use.In particular, ultrasonic peeling devices cleanse the skin, remove dead particles, thereby stimulating the processes of metabolism and growth of new cells.For enlarged pores, they help to narrow them.The result of the procedure is an increase in skin smoothness and a change in its color to warmer and fresher shades.Also common for home devices are attachments for mechanical and vacuum types of peeling.
More complex types of peelings are performed by specialists in salons and aesthetic medicine centers.
Rejuvenation without surgical intervention became available with the advent of hardware types of cosmetology.This area of aesthetic medicine constantly offers interesting programs for appearance care.New devices are being created, old ones are being improved taking into account modern technologies.Many devices use a complex of several types of influences at once: vacuum, ultrasonic, electrical.For example, in a method such as lymphatic drainage.The procedure improves the movement of lymph, as a result of which swelling is reduced, metabolic processes in the body are restored, and blood circulation is increased.
In hardware cosmetology, high-tech types of devices are used, created specifically for facial care procedures, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by numerous photos before and after use, the advantages of this method significantly outweigh the disadvantages, and there are few contraindications.Traditional beauty care products (creams or masks) in combination with the latest technologies give excellent results and help you look harmonious and youthful.
