With age, the skin loses its former elasticity and radiance, wrinkles appear on it – such signs of aging are the result of the influence of internal and external factors on all layers of the skin and subcutaneous structures. And if earlier only a plastic surgeon could solve the problem of age-related changes in the face, in our time there are many hardware rejuvenation techniques that provide excellent results without the need for invasive intervention and a long recovery period. Thus, the SMAS-lifting procedure using HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) and fractional radio wave (RF) lifting are very popular. Which of these two methods is better for a facelift?
Age-related changes: why is there a need for a facelift?
The main reasons why patients turn to beauty clinics and salons are directly related to the appearance of signs of aging. And if earlier the fight against age-related changes was carried out exclusively at the superficial levels of the skin, nowadays it is well known that the SMAS (musculoaponeurotic system) also plays a huge role in the appearance of the following aesthetic problems:
- formation of folds and creases on the face;
- appearance of jingles;
- formation of the second chin;
- loss of clarity of features and contour of the face.
In solving the problems of aging skin, the following have demonstrated high efficiency:
- SMAS lifting with HIFU;
- fractional RF lifting.
Both procedures are successfully performed by the specialists of the Center for Laser Cosmetology Della Rossa, but which one is better for a facelift?
Fractional RF lifting for facelift: principle of action and benefits
Decrease in the quality and decrease in the amount of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin – the main reason for the loss of elasticity of the skin, as well as the appearance of wrinkles and folds on the face.
In order to restore the supporting framework of the skin, consisting of the above proteins, competent specialists of the Della Rossa Laser Cosmetology Center recommend the procedure fractional RF lifting.
The essence of the procedure: during the session, using a special nozzle equipped with gold-plated microneedles, microdamages are formed in the skin, through which radiofrequency impulses act on target areas in the deep layers of the skin and promote the restructuring of collagen fibers. This results in:
- destruction of existing and accelerated formation of new collagen fibers;
- already after the first session, the structure of the skin improves;
- skin color improves;
- skin becomes firmer;
- wrinkles are smoothed out.
The procedure is comfortable and painless for the patient and provides excellent results.
Indications for the procedure:
- presence of wrinkles;
- flabbiness of the skin;
- bags under the eyes;
- cellulite;
- small scars and stretch marks;
- acne scars.
The procedure is comfortable and painless for the patient, and slight redness and swelling of the skin disappear within a couple of days after the session. A full course of procedures (about 3 per year), based on the condition of your skin, will be selected by qualified specialists of the Laser Cosmetology Center Della Rossa.
