What is the difference between radio wave and sonic wave skin care? New technology that does both? Doctors urge you not to do "4 behaviors" after surgery
What is the difference between radio wave and sonic wave skin care? Doctors reveal the key lies in the “fascial layer”
Many people who seek a more youthful facial appearance choose non-invasive “facelift treatment” to improve skin aging problems. What are the differences between the two mainstream methods of “sonic facelift” and “radiowave facelift” today?
Dr. Yang Jingyi, director of the dermatology department of New Taipei City Tucheng Hospital, said that the principle of sonic facelift is to lock the “fascial layer” deep in the skin and perform focused heating. After being affected by the thermal effect, the supporting structure of the fascial layer is strengthened, thereby achieving the effect of firming and lifting the skin texture. However, sonic facelift has a deeper effect, so if you want to remove superficial fine lines, the effect may be limited.
Radio wave facelift works relatively on the superficial layers of the skin, using high-frequency radio waves to heat and stimulate the skin, inducing the skin to generate electric current. Many medical sciences have confirmed that the skin heated by radio wave facelift will reorganize and proliferate, and the density of collagen and elastin in the skin will also increase after a few months. It should be noted that if the patient has a cardiac pacemaker in his body, he cannot undergo radiofrequency facelift treatment.
Do you have concerns about “burns” during radiotherapy? New technology has fast cooling speed and more comprehensive effect
Dr. Yang Jingyi explained that with the past radio wave facelift technology, if the energy of the probe was too weak, the treatment would be difficult to achieve the effect; if the energy was too high, there might be concerns about scalding the skin. Some treatments will be combined with “sleep anesthesia” to relieve the patient’s pain. However, if the facial skin is not completely covered when operating the probe, “delayed blisters” may appear after the treatment, and there is even a risk of scarring. Therefore, it is usually not recommended for patients. Get anesthesia.
Dr. Yang Jingyi pointed out that the latest radio wave facelift technology has a very good cooling effect, the chance of skin burns has been greatly reduced, and the energy transmission is 10% more than before, and can directly reach the fascial layer to tighten the skin, achieving the same results as sonic wave facelift. Similar effects. Many patients even use both electric and sound wave treatments. Sound wave treatment is used to improve skin relaxation, and other parts are strengthened with electric wave lifting.
However, Dr. Yang Jingyi also reminds the public that if skin sagging and aging problems occur, it is still recommended to deal with them as soon as possible, and the effect will be more obvious. In addition, if there are budget constraints, the new generation of radiosurgery technology can achieve more comprehensive results. If you want to additionally lift your double chin and cheeks and solve the problem of sagging, you can consider using sonic facelift. strengthen.
Does facelift treatment help “collagen” increase? Could the “4 Habits” make the treatment less effective?
Dr. Yang Jingyi said that whether it is radio wave or sound wave treatment, after 1-2 months, the skin will be stimulated to proliferate collagen and elastin, and the lines of the face will be smoother and more refined than before. The collagen content of the human face reaches its peak around the age of 20-24, and begins to decline after the age of 25. Therefore, if you feel that your skin is beginning to show signs of aging, radio wave and sonic wave facelift can help the skin to increase collagen.
As for how long the facelift effect will last? Dr. Yang Jingyi pointed out that the expected time for facelift treatment is generally one year; if the patient takes good care of the skin and maintains a good routine within one year, the treatment effect will be prolonged. On the contrary, if the patient often stays up late, smokes, drinks, or is overexposed to the sun after surgery, the skin will age faster. The public is reminded that if they have any skin medical aesthetic problems, they can further seek the assistance of specialist doctors to provide appropriate treatment according to their personal conditions.
