Cosmechanics - a method of combined action of mechanical stimulation and cyclic vacuum aspiration
Cosmecanique is a new three-dimensional revolutionary approach to skin care using the "Lift-6" device for the treatment and prevention of wrinkles, facial contouring, and for restoring the elasticity of the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and chest. The "Cosmecanique" technology is based on the plastic massage according to Jacquet, using a pinching mechanism for tissue processing. The dosing of the efforts of gripping and kneading the tissue is carried out by a special manipulator and the activity of cyclic vacuum aspiration.
The Cosmecaniqiie® technology takes into account the anatomical and histological features of the skin structure, requiring a dosed, atraumatic effect, and uses a particularly delicate fold capture mechanism and a pulsed vacuum mode to avoid stretching and displacement of the skin relative to the underlying tissues. Developed for the care of the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and chest, the manipulator captures the skin fold with parallel plates due to a pulsating vacuum and initiates mechanical vibrations in the skin and underlying tissues in several planes - vertically, horizontally and in the direction of movement of the manipulator
The Lifl-b® manipulator performs rhythmic pulsations and kneading, stimulating movements throughout the entire procedure. Depending on the selected program, the speed and frequency of movements of the working plates of the manipulator change to ensure the necessary effect and perform drainage, lifting and modeling programs in one session.
Three basic programs, applied depending on the indications, differ in the technique of execution, intensity of action and frequency of the applied vacuum, allow to solve the main task of cosmetology - to smoke and maintain youth and attractiveness for a long time, without plastic surgery and a long rehabilitation period.
The procedures are well tolerated and highly rated by clients due to the pronounced lifting effect, both immediately after the procedure - the effect of rapid lifting, and as the course of procedures progresses (after the occurrence of the "cellular memory effect") - the effect of delayed lifting.
The results are maintained for a long time (within six months after the course of procedures, the lifting effect increases, then a period of physiological plateau sets in - this stage is individual in time and depends on the initial condition of the tissues, then the appointment of healing procedures or a new course is required). The course includes 15-20 procedures performed 2-3 times a week.
Mechanisms of action
The use of three-dimensional mechanical stimulation - "Cos-clique®" technology - allows to achieve visible physiological effects and has unique capabilities for physiological tissue regeneration:
- Increased venous outflow, unloading of the venous bed, reduction of the diameter of venous vessels, reduction of pressure in the lumen of the vessels and strengthening of the venule wall. According to the results of the study by LPG Systems, the increase in venous outflow occurs more than 4-5 times.
- Activation of venous outflow makes it possible to enhance lymphatic outflow, reduce interstitial pressure, cells, including fibroblasts.
- The obtained result is a necessary, sufficient and mandatory condition for increasing arterial inflow, increasing the rate of filling of the main and reserve channels, and, consequently, for opening arterial anastomoses and increasing blood perfusion by more than 5-6 times.
- A significant increase in blood perfusion affects the physiological and electrical stability of the cell membrane, activating the work of fast and slow membrane channels.
- Due to the activation of perfusion and membrane channels, conditions are created for an increase in mitochondrial activity and, as a consequence, the appearance of excess ATP in the cell and a physiological increase in fibroblast activity.
- Activation of fibroblasts leads to their more active division and increased synthesis of young, correctly oriented collagen, as well as to activation of enzymes that break down old destructured collagen. Renewal of the collagen structure is noticeable on histological preparations by the 7th-10th procedure and ranges from 30 to 120%.
- Rapid (within 10-15 minutes from the start of the procedure) activation of microcirculation allows for an increase in the flow of oxygen, biologically active substances, mediators, and nutrients to the treated area.
The above results are confirmed by clinical studies using thermography, Dopplerography, histology and elastometry methods.
The use of “Lift-6®” allows:
- Achieve a noticeable rejuvenating effect by smoothing wrinkles and restoring the facial contour (lifting effect and non-surgical modeling of the facial contour), as well as a significant improvement in the elasticity, turgor and tone of the skin.
- Restore clarity, volume and fullness of the red border of the lips without the use of injection techniques.
- Improve elasticity, turgor and tone of the skin in the neck, décolleté and chest area, solving the problems of chrono- and photoaging.
- Relieve swelling of any location and etiology (lymphatic, venous, traumatic, postoperative, etc.).
- Eliminate hematomas and infiltrates in various pathological conditions of the skin.
- Normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, reduce pores, and smooth out the effects of post-acne scarring.
- Achieve effective reduction of fat deposits in the chin and cheek area.
- Provide anti-stress therapy for the skin, get a wonderful relaxing effect.
