As we age, the skin on our face undergoes changes that make us look and feel different, especially in terms of firmness and lack of radiance. Appliances have revolutionized the field of aesthetic medicine in recent years, becoming one of its great allies. Nowadays, with appliances we can rejuvenate the skin, treat acne marks and blemishes, reshape the silhouette, combat hair loss and, of course, treat even the most stubborn hair. For this reason, at the Institut Dr. Natalia Ribé they put at your fingertips the most advanced medical-aesthetic appliances, so you can enjoy all its benefits in a non-invasive way.
The best time to undergo treatments with appliances?
Autumn because many of the treatments with appliances are photosensitive and therefore incompatible with solar radiation and heat. When we expose ourselves to appliances, our skin receives a certain dose of heat, and the accumulation of heat from both sides could lead to accidental burns. That is why when we say goodbye to the heat to welcome the cold and our skin is already recovered from overexposure to the sun, the best time to perform these treatments begins.
As for the technologies that can be performed at any time of the year, such as radiofrequency or HIFU technology, autumn is also the ideal time of the year for reasons of comfort.
In treatments with appliances it is advisable to put yourself in the hands of experienced professionals to avoid the appearance of possible injuries due to malpractice.
What is Venus Velocity: laser?
Venus Velocity, with the proven efficacy of diode laser technology and a real-time cooling system, is ideal for laser hair removal. It provides the optimal balance between high energy absorption of melanin chromophores and deep skin penetration, making it a safe and eficient laser for all skin types, even tanned skin.
It is a powerful system with great versatility thanks to its two operating modes:
PULSE MODE: applies more energy to the tissue with a lower repetition rate, resulting in greater clinical efficacy and fewer treatment sessions. In this mode, the higher power applies more energy with shorter pulse durations.
SLIDE MODE: the head glides smoothly and steadily across the treatment area, offering a high repetition rate of short pulses, resulting in high average power with full coverage and greater patient comfort. In this mode, the lower power and intense cooling with heat accumulation achieve effective treatments.
What about Venus Versa?
Venus Versa is a versatile multi-application platform that offers the following non-invasive aesthetic procedures: photorejuvenation, acne treatment, hair removal, reshaping, cellulite reduction, skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
It constitutes three unique technologies:
1. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SMARTPLUSE: Indicated to rejuvenate, treat blemishes, couperosis, rosacea, ruby spots, telangiectasias, poikiloderma, hair removal and acne in its different degrees. The number of sessions will depend on each case.
2. Nanofractional Radiofrequency with SmartScan™: The best device to target flacial skin, textures, expression lines and wrinkles, an indispensable collagen inducer for a 360º approach to facial flaccidity. It can also treat acne marks, stretch marks (red and white) and scars. An average of three sessions is estimated depending on each case.
3. Multipolar radiofrequency + pulsed electromagnetic fields (MP) 2: This is a non-invasive technology with which we will rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen. In its body use, it serves to eliminate fat in the buttocks, reafirmar the skin, reduce cellulite and flacidity to reshape the silhouette with a 4D vision of the cells. It is indicated for patients with fat accumulation difficult to diminish and body flaccidity, making it ideal as a shock treatment to show off a spectacular body. It is recommended between 8 and 10 sessions once a week. The patient does not need recovery time and at the end of the session can return to normal life.
Monopolar Ionic Radiofrequency TCS
TCS Monopolar Ion Radiofrequency is a non-invasive technology that is applied to the face, neck, décolleté and different areas of the body such as arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks to reaffirm the skin, reduce cellulite and flaccidity and reshape the silhouette, especially recommended for body contouring treatments. It is ideal for patients who present skin aging, fat accumulation difficult to diminish and facial or body flaccidity. It is also perfect for those who prefer non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatments and for those who want to achieve a flash result.
It includes three types of emission: bipolar facial, capacitive CET and resistive RET facial and body for the treatment of superficial, medium and deep structures, thus producing an oxygenation of the area that leads to an improvement of cellulite, regeneration and improvement of the general elasticity of the tissue in the area to be treated. This triple emission, allows to be selective as to the depth needed according to the type of treatment.
The monopolar radiofrequency and diathermy machine includes treatment applicators for any area: periorbital, facial oval, chin, neck, neckline, arms, abdomen, buttocks, buttocks, legs, inner knee and thigh.
The number of sessions is estimated between 8 and 10, for body and 6 in the case of facial use, with a duration of approximately one hour per area.
Hironic HIFU technology
However, the latest advances in equipment allow this problem to be solved today. High-intensity focused ultrasound is characterized by being a highly precise medical procedure that allows it to act precisely on the tissue.
It reduces damage to the surrounding tissues and favors the reactivation of the skin rejuvenation and tightening process.
Unlike lasers, HIFU technology does not touch the dermal surface but focuses specifically on the deeper layers of the skin where collagen and elastin reside. So, with this cutting-edge technology, we will promote the recovery of elasticity and firmness, as well as the maintenance of the tissue.
The benefits of a lifting with Hironic Hifu are:
- Tightening effect by immediate contraction of the muscular aponeurosis.
- Restructuring effect and a lipolytic effect.
These effects take place immediately, especially in the star areas of incidence such as the oval and chin/cheek, the two areas where the passage of time is most noticeable in terms of loss of firmness and inversion of the triangle of youth.
1 or 2 sessions are required depending on the case. The periodicity is annual with a review after 6 months, in which case the second session would be applied if necessary. The result is immediate followed by longer lasting effects that appear 21 days after the treatment session.
It is of vital importance in the case of pulsed light treatments and appliances in general to take care of our skin afterwards with basically regenerating and moisturizing creams and maximum sun protection, even in winter.
