How does RF lifting work?
The skin matrix is made up of specific fibers, which are protein compounds.
The matrix determines the tone of your skin. Over the years, the peptide structure of proteins changes - they stretch and separate. In addition, auxiliary “scars” are formed among collagen particles and the elasticity of the skin steadily decreases from year to year. The influence of a wave of a given frequency leads to a local increase in body temperature, which leads to a modification of the plastic structure of molecules. The body takes on a threatening influence and begins to produce new fibers responsible for plasticity and elasticity. As a result, not only the restoration of past connections is carried out, but also the formation of strong fibers is activated.
In general, this local influence of an electromagnetic wave leads to the implementation of the following anti-aging benefits:
- Tightening of the skin by increasing elasticity and reducing former sagging;
- Improved elasticity;
- Increasing the water level of the cell.
These results lead to a visible anti-aging effect for a fairly long period.
Indications and contraindications
You can start performing the procedure after 25 years. In youth, such care will serve as an excellent prevention of age-related skin changes, and in adulthood it will seriously slow down their development.
Indications for massage are:
- age-related skin changes;
- mimic and deep wrinkles;
- gravitational ptosis (sagging skin, change in facial contour);
- pasty swelling (excess of toxins, not fluid in the body);
- 2nd chin;
- dullness and loss of freshness of the skin;
- rosacea (will not solve the problem, but will improve the situation).
Contraindications include:
- violation of the integrity of the skin (wounds, abrasions, cuts);
- hypertension;
- epilepsy;
- increased body temperature;
- herpes and other viral diseases in the acute stage;
- acne in the acute stage.
What is special about Infini devices?
The device contains opposite electrodes in the amount of forty-nine very thin gold-coated needles, which helps to implement their required level of depth and vary the volumetric action. Thus, it was possible to combine the achievements of fractional RF therapy and microneedles. Infini allows you to use microneedles painlessly and reduces tension. With the exception of the tip, the entire needle is coated with a special silicone.
This method helps bring the radio wave closer to the dermis without a negative temperature effect on the epidermis. Previous generation devices do not have insulated needles, and the impact is transmitted through the entire needle, which is more traumatic and does not provide an anti-aging 3D effect after the session.
Who will benefit from RF lifting?
The indications are:
- a decrease in the former elasticity of collagen, the skin has traces of “withering”;
- contour disturbances. “Wrinkles”, violation of the symmetry and shape of the face;
- Decrease in facial skin tone, when a drooping effect is created (in medicine - ptosis);
- sagging and sagging of the upper eyelid, wrinkles around the eyes;
- minor deformations on the face, the appearance of scars and larger pore diameters;
- growth of skin stretch marks, especially against the background of rapid weight loss or weight gain.
- at the end of pregnancy;
- sagging skin, increased sweating.
Restrictions on the use of Infini RF lifting
Fractional RF lifting using microneedles from Infini has some conditional and unconditional restrictions on its use.
In the case of conditional restrictions, the doctor makes an opinion on the procedure in each case individually. These restrictions include:
- hypersensitive skin;
- disease - rosacea in a dangerous stage;
- complication of acne;
- Inflammatory pathology of the future area for the procedure (both chronic inflammation and allergic inflammation are not allowed).
3d face lift
Among innovative methods of combating age-related changes, 3D lifting with mesothreads has the most ancient origin: the use of gold threads to tighten the skin was widely used back in Ancient Egypt. Subsequently, this method entered the arsenal of plastic surgeons. But after threads began to be made from biodegradable material, it became available to cosmetologists.
Features of the method
3D lifting (thread lifting or tightening) is a procedure aimed at forming a strong frame from the patient’s own tissues by introducing mesothreads into the deep layers of the dermis. If, when reinforcing the face, the threads remain under the skin and constantly support the soft tissues, then after three-dimensional face lifting they trigger the formation of their own collagen and, having fulfilled their function, are completely absorbed.
Thus, face lifting and correction using three-dimensional lifting consists of activating natural rejuvenation processes. There are no foreign bodies (golden threads) left in the patient’s body, and there is no risk of their displacement over time and the development of allergies. Complete biodegradation of mesothreads occurs within several months.
The second feature of this lifting is that the thinnest flexible needles are used to insert mesothreads. There is no need to cut the skin. Therefore, thread lifting is one of the non-surgical injection methods of rejuvenation. Accordingly, the risk of complications when using it is minimized. With a competent approach, a couple of weeks after the procedure, the contours of the face begin to transform, and traces of the cosmetologist’s intervention become invisible.
It is also important that after the threads are absorbed, the production of collagen fibers does not stop. The lifting effect lasts for at least several years. When the contours of the face become unclear again, nothing prevents you from performing another 3D facelift.
Indications for use
With the help of three-dimensional face lifting, most problems associated with age-related skin changes and the effects of gravity can be solved:
- unclear contour of the face, “sagging” of the oval and cheekbones;
- pronounced flabbiness of the skin;
- deep nasolabial folds;
- wrinkles;
- swelling, bags under the eyes;
- "crow's feet";
- double chin;
- "bulldog cheeks";
- ptosis (drooping) of the upper eyelid, eyebrows.
To solve specific problems, certain types of mesothreads are used (in the form of springs, with notches, spikes, etc.). Therefore, the potential capabilities of a clinic are usually determined by the arsenal of tools and techniques mastered by its specialists.
Restrictions on use
Facial skin lifting, regardless of the technique used, is contraindicated if:
- blood clotting disorders;
- severe pathologies of the cardiovascular system;
- immunodeficiency;
- pregnancy and lactation.
The doctors of our clinic competently approach the questioning and examination of the patient, thereby further ensuring the safety of the lifting procedure for each individual patient.
The key to efficiency
The effectiveness of three-dimensional lifting, like most cosmetic procedures, depends on the level of training, skill of the cosmetologist and the material and technical equipment of the clinic. It is important that during the procedure the following are observed:
- rules for selecting the type of thread;
- optimal depth and direction of their introduction;
- parameters of facial biomechanics;
- aseptic conditions.
The practice of the country's leading cosmetology clinics, in particular the Evolution Center for Laser and Aesthetic Cosmetology, shows that only with this approach this technique gives high results.
How does the procedure work on the INFINI device?
It is performed under local anesthesia with cream. The doctor performs treatment at the desired depth with a micro-needle nozzle. The number of approaches can vary from one to three. Swelling and hyperemia disappear after two to three days.
By varying the initial parameters of the device, you can achieve light lifting with minimal recovery throughout the day, which is very convenient if you need to combine procedures and work. Or, on the contrary, use the deep parameters of the procedure to correct scar tissue and laser skin resurfacing.
A course of procedures of three sessions, once a month, gives a long-term positive result that will last for more than two years.
How will I look after the procedure?
After the 3D lifting procedure, there is a short rehabilitation period of three to four days. In this case, beauty and slight swelling may be noted. The doctor individually selects facial skin care products, so it is restored quickly and without problems, and the maximum effect is achieved, which lasts for two years.
Effects:
- Skin rejuvenation and tightening.
- Tightened skin around the eyelids, which provides a “radiant look”.
- Smooth skin texture, healthy complexion.
- Reduction of enlarged pores.
- Healthy and tightened skin on the body.

3D MESONTHREADS - If you are afraid to undergo plastic surgery
Very often you see the following picture: a patient sits in a cosmetology chair and asks to raise her eyebrows a little, smooth out a wrinkle on the upper eyelid, lift her cheeks, remove jowls. But, as a cosmetologist, you understand that traditional methods are unlikely to help here. With hope you suggest to the patient: “Maybe see a plastic surgeon?” And you immediately receive the answer: “No, under no circumstances, I’m not ready and in general this is not for me!” Very often, working with such patients reaches a dead end: endless injections do not give the desired result.
And now, finally, there is an opportunity to help patients who have lost hope. A new word in cosmetology is “thread lifting” ( 3D lifting ). These so-called miracle threads ( 3D mesothreads ) in tiny needles allow you to work with any area. The result is visible immediately after installing the mesothreads and then only intensifies over the course of 2 weeks.
3D mesothreads are capable of changing the volumes and contours of the face (body) in a three-dimensional image. The procedure is easy and almost painless in a beauty salon. Injected with thin needles, mesothreads leave virtually no traces, like after mesotherapy.
The areas of application of mesothreads are diverse. In the forehead area, installing mesothreads allows you to raise your eyebrows and smooth out wrinkles. The eyebrow area is fixed using 3D mesothreads and smoothes out vertical folds.
But the most effective results can be obtained in the area of the midface, jowls, chin and neck. Installing mesothreads in these areas allows you to achieve the same lifting as with plastic surgery.
Using mesothreads in the chin area
Using mesothreads in the lower face area
The contours of your face change right before your eyes. The folds on the upper and lower eyelids are laid out vertically, the angle of the eyebrow rises. The 3D lifting technique is very good for those who have resistance to botulinum toxin or a prejudice against Botox injections. For patients who use botulinum toxin on the face, mesothreads consolidate the effect, allowing the interval between injections to be extended to 2 years.
Mesothreads are absolutely safe, do not cause allergies, and are used by plastic surgeons when performing surgical interventions on the face.
In the body, 3D mesothreads dissolve completely and leave no traces. Mesothreads are re-installed after 1.5-2 years, but their number is significantly less.
Restrictions and measures after completion of the procedure
At the end of each lifting session with INFINI, you must follow a few simple guidelines of a restrictive nature:
- For 24 hours after completion, you should not perform any actions on the treated skin;
- Minimum mechanical impacts (exclude friction from clothing)
- Limit exposure to bright sun (at least 3 sunny days)
Currently, using the INFINI device, we can confidently conclude that the current procedure is one of the most advanced in terms of subsequent recovery speed and the ratio of the overall effect and safety of the procedure. In the Russian Federation, it has been used not so long ago, but it already has a strong position and has become the choice of many people in order to achieve skin rejuvenation.
