Rio 60 Second Face Lift Facial Toner

Product Information

The Rio has another uber cool function: it can be used for iontophoresis, aka the infusion of ingredients into the skin via electrical current. It comes with specifically designed collagen and retinol patches that you apply to the skin. Once the patches are applied to the area, you select the Infusion programme on the Rio and gently roll the machine across it for 60 seconds, repeating this on the patches for between 10 to 30 minutes (5 to 15 minutes per patch). Programme 1: Firming Rhythmic muscle contractions to condition muscles with a short interval between each pulse. Muscle contractions last 2 seconds followed by a 3 second pause. There are 17 power levels in total. We recommend starting on a low power level on each treatment area and build up until muscle contractions are felt. It is important to note that if you stop doing it, the effects won’t remain. It has to be done frequently and long-term to see true results, as the results build over time. So, exactly like working out the rest of you! How to work out your face at home Programme 2: TAP TONING - Rapid stimulating action. The pulsing massage action lasts 5 seconds followed by a 3 second pause.

Gel tested on animals or does it contain any animal ingredients? The conductive gel uses only mineral and/or vegetable ingredients and in line with the EU cosmetic directive is not tested on animals. I read that the two little lights on the right of the machine indicate the highest setting. That was the one for me. How long can I leave the patches on for? The majority of the infusion happens in the first 5-15 minutes on each treatment area, but the patches may remain on the face for up to one hour.Practised for over 40 years in beauty salons, faradic facial toning uses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) to gently contract and relax facial muscles to help tone, lift and tighten. This stimulation also increases local circulation, bringing more oxygen to the skin cells and removing toxins more rapidly, to leave the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

For best results follow the faradic facial toning regime every day for the first few weeks, alternating between programmes 1 and 2 each day. All handheld EMS machines come with their own instructions and we always recommend that you follow the directions with your device carefully. RioSay: The 60 Second Face Lift also uses galvanic infusion into the skin of collagen and retinol to help target the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, after use we recommend using a high factor sunscreen. There are four treatment programmes; Firming, Extended Firming, Tap Toning and Infusion. The first three programmes are faradic and the last, galvanic, with each programme offering a different benefit to your beauty regime.

How to use The Rio Facelift

Tone and firming has a lifting effect on the face together with plumping out to reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This in effect is a natural alternative to dermal fillers. If you already have dermal fillers you should seek advice from whoever gave the treatment as they could consider whether it could be combined – dermal fillers can only achieve so much. The microcurrents would not have any direct effect of the filler. Programme 1: FIRMING - Rhythmic 2 second muscle contractions to condition muscles with a short 3 second interval between each pulse. The Faradic Treatment practised in beauty salons for over 40 years, offers gentle muscle toning to help tighten and tone sagging features in short 60 second treatments using EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation).

Topical skincare is the bread and butter of a skincare routine but we believe in a holistic, 360˚ approach when we’re treating the skin, being inside, outside and on top. That “inside” stands for the nutrition you give to your body through food and supplements but it also means the muscles that lie under your skin. How should I store the patches? Because retinol easily breaks down you should store the patches, in a cool dry place away from sunlight. You may even prefer to store them in the refrigerator to have a cooling gel patch for treatment. For best results follow the faradic facial toning regime every day for the first few weeks, alternating between programmes 1 & 2 each day.To explain why this is cool in non-nerdie terms, it means that the current is pushing the ingredients deeper into the skin, bringing about better results than a hooman could get with their bare hands. When to avoid EMS How often can I repeat the Treatment? For best results we recommend following the Faradic Facial Toning regime every day for the first few weeks, alternating between programmes 1 and 2 each day. This doesn’t mean you have to resort to the surgical routes - far from it, in fact. What is EMS (electrical muscle stimulation)?

The forehead can require higher intensity levels than normally used on other areas of the face, however it is important to remember to return to lower intensity by pressing the - button several times before returning to treat the facial area. Think it’s for you? At €120, the Rio 60 Second Face Lift is one of the most affordable handheld EMS machines on the market. EMS stands for Electronic Muscle Stimulation, When you undertake any movement the brain produces signals that are sent to the muscles, which cause them to contract and expand. EMS mimics these signals from the brain and causes the muscles to move repeatedly to reproduce the effects of exercise. It comes with 17 settings. God knows what 17 is like because 8 is bloody painful. I’d say if you have a low tolerance of pain then 8 is good. It really contracts the muscle enough in my opinion.The issue of scars and moles is that they can change the surface profile of the skin, which in turn can cause local changes to how the micro currents enter the skin, theoretically leading to a variation in the micro current density across the pad/skin interface. The result might be increased discomfort and/or possible chemical changes on the skin surface which would not occur So, how does EMS work your face out? Low faradic currents are delivered into the skin, stimulating nerve endings and causing muscles to contract and relax at recurring intervals. This motion is what causes the toning, just as your muscles contract and relax when you do ten ab crunches.
