1. Massage equipment
Massage instruments are one of the most common face-slimming tools. These instruments usually stimulate facial skin and muscles through vibration, heating, low-frequency current, etc. to relax muscles, promote blood circulation, and accelerate metabolism. Massage instruments are divided into handheld and mask types. Handheld types are usually used for local massage, while mask types cover the entire face.
2. Microcurrent equipment
Microcurrent devices stimulate facial muscles and skin through low-frequency currents, with the aim of promoting blood circulation, accelerating fat metabolism and improving skin firmness. Such devices can usually achieve different effects by adjusting the current intensity. Some devices also have the function of enhancing facial muscle tension and shaping.
3. Facelift equipment
Facelift instruments usually use radio frequency , infrared and other technologies to deeply heat the skin and subcutaneous tissue, stimulate collagen synthesis, and tighten the skin, thereby achieving the effect of face slimming and lifting. The main principle of this type of instrument is to improve sagging and aging facial contours by heating and shrinking the skin.

2. The principle and effect of face-slimming magic tool
1. The role of massage and microcurrent
The massage instruments and microcurrent equipment in the face-slimming artifact mainly stimulate the facial skin, muscles and blood vessels to promote local blood circulation and metabolism. Massage can help eliminate facial swelling and reduce the fatness of the face caused by edema, thereby visually achieving the effect of "thinning the face". The microcurrent stimulates the facial muscles, enhances the firmness of the muscles, makes the facial lines more three-dimensional, and achieves a shaping effect.
However, these methods cannot directly eliminate facial fat, but they optimize facial contours by promoting blood circulation and improving skin elasticity. They are suitable for those with obvious facial puffiness. For faces with more fat, the effects of face-slimming tools may be limited.
2. The deep effects of radio frequency and infrared
Radio frequency technology transfers radio frequency energy to the deep layers of the skin, which can stimulate the proliferation of collagen and help improve the loose and sagging facial skin. By heating and tightening the skin, radio frequency facelift can make the facial contours tighter and achieve a "thin face" effect. In addition, radio frequency can also improve facial metabolism and promote fat burning, which has a significant thin face effect.
Infrared technology heats the skin at low temperatures, improving blood circulation, thereby helping to eliminate edema and reduce facial puffiness.
3. Temporary effects of slimming patches
Facial slimming patches promote the elimination of facial edema and improve skin elasticity through the active ingredients they contain. Common slimming patch materials usually contain caffeine, green tea extract and other ingredients, which can help promote blood circulation and drainage, thereby temporarily reducing facial puffiness and showing a slimming effect. However, the effect of slimming patches is usually short-term and requires long-term use to see effective results.
