Methods of hardware cosmetology
There are several important differences between some devices from others. Among them is the method of influencing the problem area:
- use of electric current;

Innovative techniques, including laser resurfacing, are the latest technological developments. They are in demand due to their high efficiency, as well as the absence of discomfort during the treatment of certain areas of the skin.

Gas-liquid peeling
It is one of the most popular procedures for facial rejuvenation after 40 years. Modern gas-liquid peeling devices are used successfully in beauty salons. The set comes with 2 manipulators.

The second is designed for uniform application of serum and nutrient solution.
Operating principle
The device is modeled in such a way that a mixture of liquid and gas is sprayed on the skin surface under high pressure. Penetration of bubbles and microscopic droplets into the inner layers of the skin is ensured by the high spray rate. The keratinized layer of cells is removed without violating the integrity of the skin.
