Cleaning and therapy processes using hardware technology are relatively new. They are constantly being improved, new devices appear.
We offer you a brief overview of the most popular trends in hardware cosmetics.
Microcurrent facial therapy
According to studies by European specialists, stimulating the skin with a weak electrical current increases the elastin content by 40-50 percent and collagen by 10-12 percent. The effect of the current on the inner layers of the epidermis accelerates cell division, which is additionally supplied with nutrients due to an improvement in blood flow. The amount of chemical elements in skin cells increases. There is an increased supply of oxygen. After the procedure, creams and masks are better absorbed. In order to achieve significant results in improving the skin with the help of microcurrent therapy, it is advisable to conduct a full course of several procedures. But even after the first procedure, there is a significant improvement in skin health indicators.

It is also actively used for weight loss and body contouring. In addition to cosmetic functions, this massage has significant healing properties. 
Before the self-massage, the skin is cleaned, the device must be moved along the massage lines, no longer than 2-3 minutes at any point.
Do not touch the device in places where there are moles, papillomas or inflamed areas. The massager usually has several settings that can be set to the mode you want. It depends on which area of the body or face is affected and for what purpose. Now, such types of device massage as lymphatic drainage, vacuum, vibration, water are popular.
INFO: The combination of massage and physiotherapy has resulted in methods of improving skin parameters using devices. Hardware cosmetology includes many types of procedures for the face and body.

Contraindications to such a massage can be various skin diseases, allergies and metabolic disorders. To be sure of the benefits of hardware massage procedures, it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor and, if necessary, undergo a general examination.
Darsonvalization
This method was originally used to stimulate blood circulation and metabolic processes in physiotherapy. His name is derived from the surname of the French physicist and physiotherapist d'Arsonval. 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 very effective not only in beauty salons but also at home. With this device, you can get rid of acne, acne, and inflammation quickly. It is also possible to keep the skin beautiful, timely treat fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, and get rid of excess oiliness or dryness. Such devices cope well with spider veins and skin regeneration. Under the influence of high-frequency electricity, blood circulation is increased and metabolic processes in the skin are activated.
Facial myostimulation
The procedure of myostimulation can be carried out both in beauty salons and centers of aesthetic medicine, and at home. The device acts on the muscles with a series of electrical impulses (through skin electrodes). Muscle contractions from stimulation by the apparatus can be correlated with contractions during maximum physical exertion. This contributes to a significant increase in skin tone and smoothness. The following steps are usually required to use the machine:
- Cleansing the skin from cosmetics;
- Setting the required duration and intensity;
- When placing electrodes on the face or body, they should be symmetrical.
- activates the active mode of the device;
- move the electrodes to the next section;
- Use of cosmetic products for care.
INFO: Myostimulators are attached to the desired body part and do not require manual manipulation, so you can do other things or just relax during the procedure. Most muscle stimulants run on batteries. There are some contraindications to their use, so it is advisable to first consult a specialist before starting its use.
Microdermabrasion
This is a method of skin resurfacing using abrasives. It is based on the ability of abrasive particles to penetrate the skin and exfoliate the keratinized areas of the skin. Microparticles of abrasives have good penetration properties. The peeling (skin renewal) frees space for further growth of the skin tissue. Currently the machines use two types of abrasives: diamond dust and aluminum dioxide. After processing, the remaining grinding dust is removed in a vacuum.
Cryotherapy
This method is based on the body's reaction to cooling. After a sharp short-term drop in temperature, various hormones, including endorphins and adrenaline, are released into the skin, and immunity and blood supply increase. Various types of hardware cryotherapy methods are now practiced in beauty salons. Some of them are:
- Hardware cryospray: Liquid nitrogen (from -180 to -50 degrees) is sprayed through a special device.
- Cryoelectrophoresis: Frozen chemicals are injected under the skin using electrical impulses;
- Cryogenic chambers: chambers with cold air and nitrogen (-130 degrees) for the whole body.
Galvanotherapy
These devices are based on the use of weak electrical pulses (40-50mA) with low voltage. Its action causes an increase in the content of histamine, serotonin and other active components in the subcutaneous layer. Devices for iontophoresis and disinfection are used in cosmetics. The first type of device transmits electricity to the surface of the skin through special attachments. It is used to treat couperose, acne, pigmentation, and smoothing facial wrinkles. The second type of device is used for cleaning. It combines the use of alkaline solutions with electroplating. Loosening the skin contributes to deep degreasing and the removal of dead skin cells.
Hardware peeling efficiency
With hardware peeling, in contrast to manual peeling, you can achieve the effect of youth and freshness in a shorter time. Different types of scrubs with devices clean and nourish all layers of the epidermis. The purification is deep and affects the cellular level. Devices for other purposes, for example devices for ultrasonic and laser liposuction, work on the principles of cleaning and stimulating tissues. These methods are used to remove excess weight and fat deposits. Laser peeling not only removes the top layer of the epidermis, but it also improves blood circulation and muscle tone when exposed to light waves. Innovative laser treatment with fractionated lasers with very thorough cleaning causes practically no damage.
INFO: In contrast to the invasive category, the device category of procedures in aesthetic medicine is less complicated, more painless and non-traumatic to use. It's perfect for those who advocate minimal disruption to the body's natural processes.
There is a hardware scrub for home use. Ultrasonic peeling devices in particular clean the skin, remove dead particles and thus stimulate the 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, which changes its color into warmer and fresher shades. Nozzles for mechanical and vacuum peeling types are also common for home appliances.
More complex types of peelings are carried out by specialists in salons and centers of aesthetic medicine.
With the advent of hardware kinds of cosmetology, rejuvenation without surgery has become available. This area of aesthetic medicine is constantly offering interesting beauty programs. New devices are created, old ones are improved, taking into account modern technologies. Many devices use a complex of different types of effects at the same time: vacuum, ultrasound, electrical. For example with a method like lymphatic drainage. The procedure improves the movement of lymph, due to which edema decreases, metabolic processes in the body are restored, and blood circulation increases.
Hardware cosmetics use high-tech devices that have been specially developed for face care procedures. The effectiveness is confirmed by numerous photos before and after application. The advantages of this method significantly outweigh the disadvantages, and there are few contraindications. Traditional beauty care products (creams or masks) combined with the latest technology will give excellent results and will help you look harmonious and youthful.
