What technologies are currently used in beauty instruments
Through the previous article “Beauty Instruments Series 1: Are Beauty Instruments Really Useful?” we have learned that beauty instrument products do have their therapeutic effects. But what are the specific principles, detailed therapeutic effects, and the extent of the efficacy? Wait, we don’t know much about it yet. Therefore, in this article, Mr. Bi Orange will share with you all the principles and functions of beauty instruments on the market in detail.
Knowing that the sisters are relatively lazy, we will definitely not be able to read long technical articles. Therefore, Mr. Bichengjun has prepared a simple and easy to understand table, so that everyone can clearly understand some basic technical principles and function introductions of the beauty instrument.
Function analysis of beauty instrument products
Currently, there are no more than 8 functions in the beauty instrument, and few more than 5 functions. Generally, it is a collection of one or several functions within it.
The Blue Orange Beauty Instrument includes all the above functions except ultrasonic induction. It is a rare beauty instrument on the market that provides a complete set of skin care solutions that integrate induction and induction, lifting and tightening, whitening and rejuvenation, wrinkle removal and moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and acne removal, pore contraction, skin testing, and other comprehensive skin care solutions.

OK. Next, Bi Chengjun will explain all the technical functions in detail:
- Vibration
This is actually the simplest function. In fact, its principle is to use an electric motor to start an irregular disk to create imbalance, thereby generating centrifugal force during rotation.
Due to the constant changes in the direction of the centrifugal force as it rotates, the disk undergoes a large swing in the left and right directions, which is actually a vibration in the up and down directions. However, due to excessive resistance, the vibration in this direction is not very obvious, so the instrument in hand feels like vibration.
If you still don’t understand after reading the above paragraph. In fact, it is very simple to take a small electric motor and attach an irregularly shaped object to its rotating shaft, or cut an angle on the disk. When it rotates, it will jump up, which is the principle of vibration generated by the head of the beauty instrument.
Vibration can remove edema. When you wake up every morning, you can use this vibration function of the beauty instrument to make the skin firmer, which actually has the same effect as when we remove the blisters from the phone mask.
The effect of this method is actually quite obvious. Doing it once every morning can basically ensure that the skin is firmer that day. Although the effect is relatively obvious, it is not durable and does not address the symptoms rather than the root causes.
cosmetic instrument - Ultrasound
Ultrasound is also known as ultrasound, which means changing soup without changing dressing.
As we all know, most of the effective ingredients in skin care products are composed of organic macromolecules, which are difficult to penetrate the epidermis of human skin under natural conditions. When applying by hand, only nutrients can stay on the surface of the skin and cannot be deeply absorbed. Therefore, you often experience the sensation of skin care products floating on the skin.
The basic principle of an ultrasonic beauty instrument is to use the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound to break up the larger molecules of maintenance ingredients into smaller molecules, giving full play to their permeability and making the skin easier to absorb, so that your skin care products can play their role.

Due to the time required for the absorption and production of nutrients, it is difficult to directly see the changes in the skin in this way, and the effect is not so obvious. However, long-term use will gradually highlight the effect. - Ion introduction and export
“Although the functions implemented by import and export are actually different, the technical principles are the same, so Mr. Bi put them together.”.
In fact, the introduction and derivation is to use the physical principle of positive and negative charge ions repelling each other and attracting each other. Through the equivalent exchange of ions (positive electricity for positive electricity, negative electricity for negative electricity), the purpose of transporting effective substances is achieved.
Among them, negative ions are introduced and positive ions are exported. For example, when a skin care product with active ionic components encounters electrodes with the same polarity, it accelerates and strengthens, penetrating into the skin through pores, sweat glands, and intercellular spaces, which can more than double the permeability of the skin care product. At the same time, positive ions will lead out the deep pore dirt to deeply clean the skin.

The most suitable product for ion implantation is a product containing water-soluble vitamin C. In addition, ingredients such as kojic acid, arbutin, tranexamic acid, and peptides are also suitable for ion implantation. The effect of ion implantation on whitening and rejuvenating the skin is the most obvious. - RF radio frequency
RF radio frequency is actually what beauty salons often refer to as thermal maggie and ultrasound knife, which is also known as electric wave skin lifting and wrinkle removal in beauty salons.
RF radio frequency is an abbreviation for high-frequency alternating current electromagnetic wave, which has a deep warming effect and can promote metabolism, and is widely used in beauty equipment in major beauty institutions.
So why does this electromagnetic wave have an effect?
Let’s put it this way, first of all, the reason why the human skin is elastic is mainly because the collagen fibers in the dermis form the scaffold of the skin. As you grow older, the amount of collagen secreted by your skin will also decrease due to the hectic work and tiredness.
In this way, your originally delicate skin will begin to become loose and dry, leading to problems such as wrinkles and loss of luster. Therefore, to maintain youth and maintain the youthful vitality of the skin, it is necessary to increase the content of collagen in the skin.
Aging process
The principle of RF radio frequency is to vibrate skin molecules through high-frequency electrical waves detected from the hair, generating thermal energy due to friction (between 68-72 degrees), promoting the immediate contraction of collagen (collagen), while stimulating the dermis to secrete more new collagen to fill the gap between contraction and loss of collagen, thereby again supporting the skin’s stent and restoring skin elasticity.
RF frequency is very effective in wrinkle removal, especially when people reach the age of 40 or so, and wrinkles become irreversible, making it difficult for skin care products to function. In addition to using injections at this time, you can only use physical stimulation to achieve wrinkle removal effects. In clinical medicine, medical institutions also use RF radiofrequency surgery to treat muscle weakness. - EMS Microwaves
EMS microwaves are also commonly known as electric wave skinning. It does not directly transmit movement instructions to the muscles through the brain, but uses electromagnetic waves to stimulate the muscles, allowing them to contract and relax for exercise, achieving the effect of lifting and thinning the face.
At the same time, electric current stimulation of the dermis will also promote the production of more ATP by cells, and ATP is the key material for the production of collagen. Therefore, microcurrent massage of the face can accelerate the production of collagen, making the facial lines and contours clearer.

This method can also fully exercise the local fat layer, improve the basic metabolism of the human body, resulting in the effect of reducing fat and eliminating excess meat. Therefore, many fat reducing and shaping devices also use EMS micro wave technology.
The effects that EMS microwaves can achieve include: firming the skin, lifting the skin, refining the skin, sculpting the face, reducing weight, tightening the abdomen and lifting the hips, etc.
Compared to the RF radio frequency function, the timely display effect of micro current is strong, but its persistence is relatively poor. - LED red and blue light
What is the LED red and blue light care often mentioned in beauty salons?
In fact, skin is generally composed of epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. Red and blue light can stimulate the metabolism of mitochondria in each cell, thereby producing a certain effect. Different wavelengths of LED light can have different effects on the skin. Different wavelengths of light lead to different colors.
LED red light with a wavelength of more than 600 nanometers can promote wound healing and increase the phagocytic capacity of white blood cells; In terms of beauty, it can stimulate and promote cell metabolism, improve cell activity, stimulate collagen regeneration, and make your skin smooth, tender, and elastic; When applied to the skin, it can tighten the pores, while inflammation of the skin can also cause red light.
Beauty instrument red light
Blue light with a wavelength of more than 400 nanometers has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. This is because bacteria on the skin absorb light at this wavelength, photodegrade to kill bacteria, and normalize sebum secretion. Therefore, it is generally used to treat acne.
Beauty instrument blue light - Refrigeration
This freezing function is achieved by using the electronic semiconductor cooling sheet to absorb heat after being powered on, and then transferring it to the aluminum cooling sheet for heat exchange, with a minimum effect of close to zero.
This method of instantly cooling by absorbing heat is actually the same as the refrigeration principle of Freon in a refrigerator.
cosmetic instrument
This freezing function is typically performed after facial care is completed to narrow skin pores and retain moisture. It is an essential part of daily beauty care steps. - Moisture detection
The measurement of skin moisture content is the most basic content in skin evaluation, and currently there are two main popular detection methods.
The first method is human biological resistance testing, which is actually the principle of skin biological resistance. This principle means that there is a specific correspondence between the skin resistance of the human body and the moisture content of the human skin. With this correspondence, we only need to calculate the resistance value to obtain the moisture content.
Resistance value: We can apply a small electrical signal to the electrode in contact with the skin, flow through the skin to form a circuit, sample and quantify the magnitude of the signal, thereby calculating the resistance value of the skin, and finally calculate the water content through the conversion formula.

The second method uses the principle of capacitance, which measures the water content of the skin based on the difference in the dielectric constant between water and other substances. How to put it? Under normal circumstances, the dielectric constant of water is 81F/m, while the dielectric constant of other substances is usually less than 7F/m. As an instrument probe, a capacitor can be affected by the dielectric constant of the substance contacted by the probe. When the moisture content changes, the capacitance value of the skin will also change. Therefore, the moisture content of the skin can be measured by measuring the capacitance value of the skin.
This moisture detection function is actually very practical. It can quickly detect the absorption effect of our skin care products after we use them. Currently, some cosmetics counters in major shopping malls in Beijing often provide such moisture detection services. - Fluorescent agent detection
This is achieved by the principle that ultraviolet light at a specific wavelength can react chemically with fluorescent agents. “If a beauty product contains fluorescent powder, it will emit a bluish violet light, and if there is no fluorescent powder, it will not appear.”.
Fluorescent agents, also known as fluorescent brighteners, are a fluorescent dye that girls should generally know. Its characteristic is that it can absorb incoming light and generate fluorescence, making the dyed material obtain a glittering effect similar to fluorspar, making the material visible to the naked eye very white, achieving a whitening effect.
If you find that your skin has significantly improved after using the facial mask, and your skin color becomes much whiter at once, then this facial mask may contain fluorescent agent. Because this whiteness is not emitted from the body, it is only caused by the reflection of light by fluorescent powder.
Fluorescent detection
Although the toxicity and harm of fluorescent agents to humans have not been clearly determined through decades of research. But if there’s a possibility, we should try to eliminate it, shouldn’t we? Moreover, it is unnecessary to add fluorescent agent into the formal big brand facial mask by using steel wire rope in order to brighten and whiten the facial mask after application. There are many ways.
At present, more than 70% of facial mask on the market contain preservatives and fluorescent agents. Therefore, the detection of fluorescent agents is very important. With this function, we can distinguish all beauty products containing fluorescent agents on the market.
The above is a detailed explanation of the principles and functions of almost all the technologies available in the beauty instrument products on the market. Bi Chengjun hopes that this article will be helpful for you to choose and purchase different types of beauty instrument products.
