Thermolifting

An innovative procedure called thermolifting, which restores elasticity and a youthful appearance to the skin, is based on advanced tissue heating techniques. It helps to enhance metabolic processes in the skin, initiating the natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Heat-assisted lifting has become a popular choice among celebrities and is often used before important events.

What is thermolifting?

The procedure is described as an effect on the dermis using infrared or radio wave radiation, which is transformed into thermal power and has a beneficial effect on skin tissue. Thermolifting activates the production of collagen and elastin, and also helps to achieve effects similar to the results of plastic surgery.

Thermolifting of the face increases blood circulation, initiates rejuvenation processes, stimulates the regeneration of collagen fibers. In addition to eliminating signs of age-related changes on the face and body, thermolifting allows you to get rid of stretch marks on the abdomen, eliminate the "orange peel" on the thighs and buttocks.

The principle of thermolifting

The principle of thermolifting

Infrared thermolifting is performed by a device that specifically treats specific areas of the skin with heat. These manipulations stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and also enhance cellular metabolism.

During lifting, collagen fibers are shortened and coagulation of skin proteins occurs. The production of elastin and collagen, which serve as the basis for the dermal matrix, also increases.

After a course of infrared, radiofrequency or laser thermolifting, the effect becomes visible after just a few sessions. After the manipulations, patients note the following changes:

  • Increased elasticity of facial skin
  • Reduced dark circles in the periorbital area
  • Face tone is evened out
  • Reduced jowls, crow's feet, nasolabial folds on the face
  • The desired facial contour is formed

The infrared thermolifting technique is regularly updated, which helps to achieve more pronounced results. The type of procedure is selected by the doctor depending on the condition of the patient's tissues.

General information about the procedure

Types of Thermolifting

Facial thermolifting procedures are divided into two main categories:

  1. Ablative – affect the upper layers of the skin, causing microscopic damage. Such procedures include the use of "Matrix RF" and needle RF, where microneedles are used together with radiofrequency radiation for more intensive rejuvenation
  2. Non-ablative – act deeper, without damaging the surface of the skin

During RF lifting, clients usually feel only slight warmth and moderate tingling. After the session, the skin may remain red for about 30 minutes. Side effects are rare and disappear within one to one and a half hours.

Types of Thermolifting

Thermage stages

Infrared RF thermolysis of the face involves a certain sequence of actions:

  1. Anesthesia - local anesthesia is used to ensure patient comfort
  2. Marking - using a special marker, lines are applied to the skin to form squares that serve as a guide for the uniform passage of the device
  3. Gel - a special gel is applied to the skin, which improves contact between the skin and the device, ensuring smoother movement
  4. Processing - using a device equipped with various attachments, 400 to 1200 pulses are carried out depending on the size of the treated area and the required intensity of exposure

The duration of the lifting is usually up to 90 minutes. After the thermolysis procedure, no recovery period is required, there are no visible traces of the intervention on the skin. You can find out the prices for thermolifting at K+31 on the clinic’s website or by phone.

Procedure stages

Contraindications

We put the health of our clients first. For this reason, we always warn about the limitations of infrared thermolifting of the face, which include:

  1. Recently received wounds or skin damage
  2. The first two weeks after injections of fillers into the skin
  3. Allergic reaction to heat
  4. Presence of cancer
  5. Active phase of chronic skin diseases
  6. Presence of metal implants or surgical threads in the area of the proposed treatment
  7. Acute skin inflammation, such as purulent rashes
  8. Elevated body temperature

Before undergoing the thermolifting procedure of the face, be sure to discuss with a cosmetologist or doctor your health condition and any possible risks. As for aftercare, it is quite simple: avoid direct exposure to sunlight and use sunscreen for several days.

Equipment used

At the K+31 clinic (Moscow), we use BBL Forever Young for thermolifting or RF face lifting. Why has it earned such attention? A K+31 doctor explains: "BBL Forever Young is often called a revolutionary system in the world of aesthetic cosmetology. This is not just a device, but a real discovery for those who want to restore youth to their skin. The technology is based on the use of high-intensity broadband light, which safely warms the skin, activating its ability to naturally regenerate at the cellular level. BBL Forever Young is not just phototherapy, it is a chance to noticeably rejuvenate the skin by acting on the genetic level."

The lifting procedure combines two key techniques:

  1. Classical phototherapy using BBL, which works like an eraser, removing problems such as pigment spots and vascular disorders from the surface and from the depths of the skin
  2. Infrared thermolifting of the face Skin Tyte, which acts at a deeper level, "rolling up" damaged collagen fibers. The technique promotes the formation of new collagen, which makes the skin more elastic and younger

Since the lifting has a cumulative effect, you can see how the skin becomes better with each session.

Advantages of thermolifting

The first advantage is safety. Unlike surgical methods of rejuvenation, thermolifting does not involve the use of needles or a surgical scalpel.

The second advantage of RF lifting is immediate results. Immediately after the lifting procedure, you will see how your skin has become more toned, wrinkles have decreased, and your face looks fresher and younger.

The third advantage is a short recovery period. Compared to surgeries that require a long healing period, thermolifting allows you to recover quickly.

Answers to popular questions

K+31 specialists answered the most frequently asked questions about infrared thermolifting.

How many sessions of lifting procedures are necessary?

To determine the optimal number of sessions of thermal skin tightening, it is important to consider the condition of the patient's skin and what goals he has set. As a rule, 3 to 5 sessions are required to achieve a noticeable result. Manipulations are carried out with a break of 4 or 6 weeks to give the skin time to recover.

Are there any age restrictions for the lifting procedure?

Thermal tightening is suitable for adults of all ages, but will bring the greatest benefit to people aged 30 to 60 years. In this age range, lifting is most effective, since the skin aging process has already begun, and the imperfections that have arisen can be corrected through collagen stimulation.

What results can be expected after the procedure?

After a full course of lifting, a significant improvement in tissue tone and elasticity, a reduction in the visibility of fine wrinkles and overall rejuvenation of the skin are expected.

I underwent the Indiba procedure, and I was absolutely delighted! After the first session, the result is noticeable: the skin has become more taut, fresh and well-groomed. The procedure is very comfortable, relaxing, and the effect is really impressive. I would also like to mention the professionalism and attentive attitude — everything was explained in detail, my peculiarities were taken into account, and the atmosphere itself was very pleasant and calm.

I want to tell you about a man who, without whom I don't think of leaving my face and body, about my incredible cosmetologist, Anako Olga Yurievne, who I've been going to for over eight years and has never been willing to mark another specialist. That's when a cosmetologist really hears a client. It was important for me to receive quality care without extra injections, and Olga Yurievna has set up a shiny program, she notices that others won't even notice, always takes into account the smallest individual characteristics. It's a combination of sensitivity and skill that's very rare. She doesn't work shabby, she sees personality. The result of our joint work is my imaginary and similar skin. They say a cosmetologist like the love of life finds once and for all. So, Olga Yurievna is exactly what it is.

By making a plan for our work, Olga Yurievna eliminated all my problems with a face like a sculptor, created me perfectly clear, sculpted, flat nose, lobe and chin. Helped to get rid of the wrinkles around the eyes of the century and the blues under the eyes. It successfully solves the problems where other cosmetologists just unleash their hands. I and my family trust only this doctor, very much appreciate her individual approach, sensitivity, good and sincere attitude towards patients and her work!
