Are high-frequency massagers really effective for lifting?
As home beauty devices become popular
“Does this provide a lifting effect?”, “Does it smooth out wrinkles?”
I get this question a lot.
To start with the conclusion: It can be helpful, but dramatic changes like in advertisements are difficult to achieve. It is important to understand this point first.
I will explain step-by-step why that is the case and what kind of expectations you should have.
Why is there so much interest in high-frequency massagers?
but There is a significant difference in intensity between high-frequency devices used in hospitals and those used for home use. In that respect, expectations need to be adjusted. |
1) Basic principles of high frequency
“A technology that delivers heat to the skin using high-frequency waves”
⭐ Key Points
-
Hospital, skin care clinic, and home devices There are three types.
-
Medical use is used for purposes such as increasing skin elasticity and reducing fat, but
-
Household models have lower intensity, so the range of action is different.
2) Household high frequency, Facelift-level lifting?
This is the part that is asked the most in everyday life.
👉 Conclusion: It is difficult to expect a powerful lifting effect comparable to a facelift.
The reason is clear.
-
To create a change equivalent to a facelift Energy so strong that it is difficult to use on humans is needed
-
Household appliances are for safety and daily use Output is significantly limited
-
The actual change felt Improved circulation → Reduction of temporary swelling degree
in other words, The reason the lines appear to lift is due to the swelling-reducing effect. It could be.
3) High frequency Is it possible to improve deep wrinkles?
There are a lot of misunderstandings here, too.
-
fine wrinkles → Possibility of looking slightly better due to increased elasticity

deep wrinkles → Difficult to improve with a high-frequency massager
-
Deep wrinkles
-
Facelift
-
fillers, etc.
There are many cases where procedures are needed to address deeper layers.
-
If you think of high-frequency devices as a 'wrinkle removal solution,' you will be greatly disappointed.

There are so many questions.
-
A machine that applies intense heat to deep layers, like ultrasound. It is best to avoid using it frequently.
-
Lightweight high-frequency device → Available
-
The most important point is
→ The facelift surgery itself Long-term sagging prevention Designed with the goal of
In other words, just because high frequency wasn't used doesn't mean sagging will occur immediately.
There is no need to use it excessively often.

Frequency of use There is no need to obsess. It is not recommended to use it too often.

To be precise:
-
Because the strength itself is lower than that of medical use, the range of action is different.
-
Reduced swelling + improved circulation → “Feeling good that day”
-
Sustained increase in elasticity or changes in facial shape are limited.
in other words, Home care aids Understanding it to that extent is the wisest way to use it.
✔ Organized at a glance
