Popular cosmetic procedures using hardware
Therapeutic and cleaning procedures using hardware technology appeared relatively recently. They are constantly being improved, new devices appear.
We offer a brief overview of the most popular trends in hardware cosmetology.
Microcurrent facial therapy
According to research by European experts, stimulation of the skin with a weak electrical current helps to increase the content of elastin by 40-50 percent, collagen - by 10-12 percent. As a result of the action of the current in the inner layers of the epidermis, there is an accelerated division of cells, an additional supply of nutrients to them due to an improvement in blood flow. The amount of chemical elements within the skin cells increases. There is an increase in oxygen supply. After the procedure, creams and masks are better absorbed. In order to obtain significant results in the healing of the skin with the aid of microcurrent therapy, it is advisable to carry out a complete course of various procedures. But, even after the first procedure, a significant improvement in skin health indicators is noticeable.
Hardware massage
In cosmetic cosmetology, a variety of hardware massages are used to improve the performance of the skin, increase tone and eliminate defects in the form of folds and cellulite formations. It is also used actively for weight loss and body contouring. This massage, in addition to cosmetic functions, has important healing properties. 
Before self-massage, the skin is clean, the device must be moved along the massage lines, no more than 2-3 minutes in each location.
Avoid touching the device in places with spots, papillomas or inflamed areas. The massage machine usually has different settings that can be set to the desired mode. It depends on which area of the body or face is being affected and for what purpose. Now types of massage devices such as lymphatic drainage, vacuum, vibration and water are popular.

- cellulite, overweight.
The contraindications for this massage can be various skin diseases, allergies, metabolic disorders. To be sure of the benefits of hardware massage procedures, you need to consult a specialist doctor and, if necessary, have a general examination.
Darsonvalization
This method was originally used to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes in physical therapy. Its name comes from the surname of the French physicist and physiotherapist d'Arsonval. The high frequency alternating current at high voltage is applied to body parts 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 device, you can quickly get rid of acne, acne, inflammation. It is also possible to keep the skin beautiful, treating fine wrinkles, enlarged pores in a timely manner, getting rid of excess oil or dryness. These devices handle well spider veins and skin regeneration. Under the influence of the high frequency current, blood circulation increases and the skin's metabolic processes are activated.
Facial myostimulation
The myostimulation procedure can be performed both in beauty salons and aesthetic medicine centers, and at home. The device acts on the muscles by means of a series of electrical impulses (by means of skin electrodes). Muscle contractions from device stimulation can be correlated with contractions during maximum physical effort. This contributes to a significant increase in skin tone and smoothness. Typically, the following steps are necessary to use the machine:
- cleaning the skin from cosmetics;
- defining the required duration and intensity;
- placement of electrodes on the face or body, must be symmetrical;
- enables the active mode of the device;
- moving electrodes to the next section;
- application of cosmetic care products.
INFORMATION: myostimulants are attached to the desired part of the body and do not require manual manipulation, which allows you to do other things during the procedures or just relax. Most muscle stimulants are powered by batteries. There are some contraindications to its use, so it is advisable to consult a specialist first before starting to use it.
Microdermabrasion
This is a method of resurfacing the skin using abrasives. It is based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate the keratinized parts of the skin. Abrasive microparticles have good penetration properties. Exfoliation (skin resurfacing) frees up space for skin tissue growth. Currently, the devices use two types of abrasive substances: diamond powder and aluminum dioxide. After processing, the remaining abrasive dust is removed using a vacuum cleaner.
Cryotherapy
This method depends on the body's response to cooling. After a sharp short-term drop in temperature, several hormones, including endorphins, adrenaline, are released into the skin and immunity and blood supply are increased. Now, in beauty salons, several different types of hardware cryotherapy methods are practiced. Some of them are:
- hardware cryo-spray: liquid nitrogen (from -180 to -50 degrees) is sprayed through a special device;
- cryelectrophoresis: frozen chemicals are injected under the skin by means of electrical impulses;
- cryochambers: chambers with cold air and nitrogen (-130 degrees) for the whole body.
Galvanotherapy
These devices are based on the use of low voltage weak electrical impulses (40-50mA). 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 disinfection are used. The first type of device transmits current to the surface of the skin through specialized accessories. It is used in the treatment of couperose, acne, pigmentation, smoothing facial wrinkles. The second type of device is designed for cleaning. Combines the use of alkaline solutions with galvanization. Loosening the skin contributes to its removal of deep oil and the elimination of dead scales from the skin.
Efficiency of hardware peeling
Hardware peeling, unlike manual peeling, allows you to achieve the effect of youth and freshness in less time. Various types of peels with appliances clean and help nourish all layers of the epidermis. The cleansing is deep and involves the cellular level. Devices for other purposes, for example, devices for ultrasound and laser liposuction, work based on the principles of tissue cleaning and stimulation. These methods are used to remove excess weight and fat deposits. Laser peeling not only removes the top layer of the epidermis, it improves blood circulation and muscle tone when exposed to light waves. The innovative laser resurfacing with fractional lasers, with very deep cleaning, causes virtually no damage.
INFORMATION: The category of procedure equipment in aesthetic medicine, unlike the invasive category, is less complicated, more painless and non-traumatic to use. It is perfect for those who advocate minimal interference in the body's natural processes.
There is a hardware peeling for home use. In particular, ultrasonic peeling machines cleanse the skin, remove dead particles, thereby stimulating the processes of metabolism 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, changing its color to warmer and fresher tones. Also for domestic devices, nozzles for mechanical and vacuum peeling are common.
More complex types of peels are performed by specialists in salons and aesthetic medicine centers.
Rejuvenation without surgery became available with the advent of types of hardware cosmetology. This area of aesthetic medicine constantly offers interesting programs for the care of your appearance. New devices are being created, the old ones are being improved taking into account modern technologies. Many devices use a complex of several types of effects at the same time: vacuum, ultrasonic, electrical. For example, in a method like lymphatic drainage. The procedure improves the movement of the lymph, as a result, decreases the edema, the metabolic processes of the body are restored and increases the blood circulation.
