  • the skin becomes more firm, supple;

What services can be offered by beauty salons and clinics

Among the huge variety, it is worth highlighting some procedures that are highly effective:

  1. Radio frequency or radio wave RF face lifting. It is based on exposure to a high-frequency electric field, which heats the subcutaneous tissue to a moderate temperature, while the muscles do not heat up. So radiolifting heals the face, which becomes more toned, fresh. Compliance with safe conditions does not require additional training and does not cause any pain..
  2. When conducting a plasma tightening, the patient’s plasma is introduced into his blood. The peculiarity is that there are a lot of platelets in the injected substance, which stimulates the process of cell renewal. With such injections, the epidermis becomes better in color, the photo is proof of that, tightens, looks fresh. The procedure is a little painful.
  3. Endoscopic lifting is a facelift operation performed by inserting a miniature camera into micro incisions. The whole process is controlled through a monitor. This method of face correction is not so painful and safer than classical surgery. The endoscopic method is more easily tolerated by patients, and it takes less time to recover. After endoscopic lifting, the skin looks tightened, smooth.
  4. Ultrasonic lifting also makes a facelift. The peculiarity of the method is that as a result of local heating of tissues and micromassage, microcirculation of the blood is stimulated. Radio wave face lifting saturates the subcutaneous cells with oxygen and nutrients, improves metabolism. An ultrasound lift is called non-surgical because the effect on the skin occurs at the muscle level.
  5. When thread lifting, biocompatible threads are introduced under the skin: mesothreads, threadlifting. Being fixed, they do not allow the upper layers to sag. This improves muscle plasticity, makes facial contours more prominent. The procedure itself is quite simple, the duration of the short-lived, about 30 minutes. It is done under local anesthesia. After the procedure, the recovery period is short.
  6. Laser rejuvenation or thermolifting is based on deep heating of the facial cells with a laser. With a strong thermal effect on collagen fibers, the regeneration process starts. Laser lifting is able to eliminate strong, deep wrinkles, remove the vascular network, and eliminate sagging skin. The care for the epidermis is the same as after the rest of the procedures: protect from hypothermia, do not apply a lot of cosmetics, a healthy lifestyle.

There are also such methods of non-surgical tightening in a beauty salon, such as:

  1. SMAS lifting or love lifting. These circular braces provide a long-lasting rejuvenation effect (10-15 years). After completing the course, the risks of scar formation are minimal..
  2. Microcurrent correction method. Uses stimulation of muscle mass by current. This leads to a reduction in muscle tone..
  3. Acupuncture lifting technique involves exposure to active points with thin needles. It activates the metabolic processes.
