Radiofrequency beauty devices are currently very popular in the market. However, we must use them correctly and avoid the contraindications to fully utilize their maximum efficacy. Let’s review the key points together:
1. Pre-use must-read: These situations prohibit use
Abnormal skin condition: Use is prohibited when there are wounds, redness, blisters, ulcers, or severe acne.
Special health conditions: Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, minors, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, sensitive skin or patients with mental disorders should not use.
Menstrual cycle: It is recommended to suspend use during menstruation as the skin may be more sensitive.
2. Correct operation steps: Safety and effectiveness are key
Thorough cleaning: Wash face with a mild cleanser to ensure no cosmetic residue.
Apply the special gel: Apply evenly in a thickness of 1-2 millimeters, covering areas such as cheekbones and forehead, and do not substitute with aloe vera gel.
Adjust the gear: For initial use, start from the lowest gear. For the face, it is recommended to use 1-3 gears, and for the neck and eye area, use 0.5-1 gear.
Standardized techniques:
Sequence: From bottom to top, from inside out, lift from the jawline to the earlobe, slide in a Z shape on the forehead.
Speed: Maintain 3-5 centimeters per second, and each area should not stay for more than 3 minutes.
Avoid: Avoid sensitive areas such as the thyroid gland, eyes, and lip mucosa.
Instrument adhesion: The bipolar radiofrequency head must be fully adhered to the skin, and the single-pole radiofrequency should maintain a distance of 2-3 centimeters.
3. Post-use care: Repair and protection are equally important
Immediate relief: Apply a refrigerated medical cold compress for 15 minutes.
Strict sun protection: Avoid sun exposure within 24 hours and do physical sun protection.
Mild skincare: Avoid using irritating skincare products (such as acids, retinols) within 24 hours.
Supplement nutrition: Increase intake of collagen peptides and vitamin C. Avoid steam saunas or intense exercise within 48 hours.
Instrument cleaning: Disinfect the probe with alcohol cotton pads. The gel should be refrigerated after opening and used within 1 month.
4. Long-term use suggestions: Persistence leads to effectiveness
Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week. Do not use too frequently. The treatment interval should be more than 48 hours.
Effect: Home radiofrequency devices require long-term persistence for good results. Do not rush for success.
5. Safety and effect guarantee
Choose regular products: Ensure the product has relevant safety certifications and quality assurance.
Read the instructions: Carefully read and operate according to the instructions. Do not randomly change the usage method or frequency.
Pay attention to skin reactions: If there are persistent burning pain, blisters, rash itching and other abnormal reactions, stop using immediately and apply cold compress for relief.
