"Daily skincare maintains the skin status, while medical beautify instrument changes it."

      This is the difference between skin care products and medical beautify instruments. The two are not a substitute relationship, but a complementary one. It is still necessary to use skincare products in the same way as medical beauty, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of medical beauty treatment with skincare products. Because most of the skincare products can only stop in the stratum corneum by rubbing, it is difficult to affect the dermal tissue. For example, if you want to solve the obvious problem of aging, medical beautify technology is needed.

      Skincare products mostly act on the stratum corneum to help improve skin surface problems, such as dryness and dehydration; Medical beauty can perform multi-level treatments to improve skin epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, and even muscle layer problems

Anti-aging is compulsory homework for young ladies. It is not only to fight against the fine lines, or the true wrinkles that have formed, but also various sagging manifestations (the jawline no longer clear, nasolabial lines, Indian lines, mouth angle lines, etc.), all ladies hope to go back in time, take the hanging skin back, and make up for the lost collagen.

      Here has to mention the non-invasive anti-aging magic weapon---radiofrequency.

      There are many kinds of radiofrequency equipment on the market, ranging from the popular Thermage in medical beautify instrument to home beauty equipment. What are the differences between these devices?

      Radiofrequency (RF) is abbreviated as RF, which is essentially electromagnetic waves located in the microwave and airwaves.  In the field of medical aesthetics, radiofrequency is mainly used to generate heat by causing high-frequency oscillation and rotation of polar molecules in the skin when it is applied to the skin. When this part of the heat acts on the skin, it can make the deep layer of the skin reach 45-60 degrees Celsius. This controllable heating effect can cause changes in the triple helix structure of collagen fibers, leading to the contraction of collagen fibers, which manifests as instant skin tightening. From a long-term perspective, because of the occurrence of collagen degeneration, it will initiate its wound healing and repair mechanism, causing the synthesis of new collagen to increase, and at the same time, there will be collagen remodeling.

      To put it simply, it is a kind of controllable thermal damage that causes collagen regeneration and remodeling. In addition, collagen regeneration usually occurs several months or even longer after treatment, so the long-term effect of long-time radiofrequency treatment is also certain.

      The types of radiofrequency used in the beauty industry are divided into three categories: unipolar, bipolar, and multipolar radiofrequency. Monopolar radiofrequency is characterized by a deeper effect, which can make the dermal papillary layer and even the subcutaneous tissue get heat, improving various types of sagging and wrinkles.

      Bipolar radiofrequency has two electrodes, one of the emitter and the other of the receiver. The current is applied between the two electric sinks. The maximum depth of energy penetration is 1/2 of that between the two electrodes. There is also a multi-pole radiofrequency. Multi-pole radiofrequency has more than two electrodes and uses multiple electrodes. The electrodes are the emitter and the receiver of each other, and the electrodes cannot be converted. The radiofrequency meter is also used at home. The multi-pole radiofrequency on the home beauty instrument can be understood as multiple sets of bipolar radiofrequency.

      Simply, it is a kind of controllable thermal damage that causes collagen regeneration and remodeling. In addition, collagen regeneration usually occurs several months or even longer after treatment, so the long-term effect of long-term radiofrequency treatment is also certain.

The types of radiofrequency used in the beauty industry are divided into three categories: unipolar, bipolar, and multipolar radiofrequency.

Monopolar radiofrequency is characterized by its deep effect, which can heat the papillary layer of the dermis and even the subcutaneous tissue, and has a good effect on all types of sagging, sagging, and wrinkles.

      Bipolar radiofrequency has two electrodes, one of the emitter and the other of the receiver. The current is applied between the two electric sinks. The maximum depth of energy penetration is 1/2 of that between the two electrodes. There is also a multi-pole radiofrequency. Multi-pole radiofrequency has more than two electrodes and uses multiple electrodes. The electrodes are the emitter and the receiver of each other, and the electrodes cannot be converted. The radiofrequency meter is also used at home. The multi-pole radiofrequency on the home beauty instrument can be understood as multiple sets of bipolar radiofrequency.

      In summary, thermage has obvious single-use effects but high cost and strong pain. It needs to be operated by professionals. Although the single-use effect of home beauty equipment is not so obvious, it still has certain advantages in general, and the price is affordable. Painless, you can operate it yourself, and can be used continuously for a long time, without limiting the time and place of use.

      Readers with anti-aging needs can consider buying a home beauty instrument and stick to it. And in fact, there is no conflict between medical treatment and home use. After finishing the thermae, it is also a good choice to use a relatively not so powerful home beauty instrument for maintenance.

      If buying a home beauty instrument, bipolar or multipolar, this is not the most critical reference point, the key is to look at the following points：

1. Can the radiofrequency heat be even?

Heat the skin evenly, the comfort will be higher when it is done, and the temperature of the whole skin will be more uniform. If the heating is uneven, some places may be overheated when doing it, and the temperature in some places is not up to the standard, and the operating experience will be decreased.

It is understood that Qixiufang has considered this. It is a household beauty instrument that combines red light, radiofrequency, and microcurrent technology. It has definite effects on improving uneven skin tone, diminishing wrinkles, lifting and tightening the skin.

2. Is it prone to burns?

The risk of home radio frequency instruments is generally low, but when at home, we often forget the time when doing it, or the partial operation is repeated too many times, resulting in too high skin temperature, which is likely to cause burns.

For the inexperienced, it is impossible to judge whether the skin temperature is too high. Studies have shown that the maximum acceptable critical temperature for skin epidermal problems is 43 degrees Celsius, and once it exceeds it, there is a risk of burns.

Therefore, temperature control is particularly important for home radio frequency instruments. For example, CharmyLady's ITC motion-sensing temperature control can keep the skin temperature within a safe range of 37-42 degrees Celsius without excessive temperature. While ensuring that the skin temperature is constant within a safe range, it effectively activates collagen production.

3. Is the operation convenient?

The key to whether a radiofrequency instrument is practical or not is whether its operation is convenient or time-consuming. If I had to rub the instrument on my face for half an hour every day, it would be better to sleep for half an hour.

I have tried many brands of home radio frequency instruments. The shortest single operation time is CharmyLady, which can effectively stimulate collagen in only 6 minutes. The flat surface care head has a smooth design, a large contact area with the skin, and is a good fit. It fits well even when operating areas such as the eye area, forehead, and jawline. When I use it myself, what I like most is its lighter weight, wireless operation, more portable, and ease to hold. There is no obvious discomfort caused by current stimulation during use, and the overall comfort is still very high.

4. Whether the effect is satisfactory and whether there is clinically proven effectiveness and safety

It’s not good enough to make it fast and comfortable, but it has to be effective, otherwise, the money for buying a radiofrequency instrument will be wasted. The easiest way to judge the effect of a radiofrequency instrument is to look at its clinical test report. Yes, if all aspects of the clinical test report are ok, then the safety and effectiveness of this device are guaranteed.

Although the effect of a single use of home radio frequency equipment is not so obvious, in the long run, as long as you insist on using it, you will get a satisfactory effect.

And there are still advantages in cost performance and comfort. Starting with a home radiofrequency instrument for anti-aging, compared with simply using skincare products, there is still a definite advantage in effect. But this does not mean that beauty instruments can completely replace skincare products because skincare products are still necessary means (cleaning, moisturizing, sunscreen) as daily maintenance. Therefore, the two can be said to be a relationship that promotes each other and complements each other, rather than a substitute relationship.
