Description of ReFa massagers

The Japanese massager ReFa is a prominent player in the international and now in the Russian market of beauty devices. Despite the large assortment of the brand, all the products presented, in fact, have a similar effect.

The ReFa brand is originally from Japan, it appeared relatively recently on the Russian market, but has long found fans around the world. The assortment of the legendary brand is represented by a variety of massagers designed to preserve youth. The advantages of high-tech beauty gadgets also include ease of use and stylish design.

The rollers of the massager - faceted movable balls covered with hypoallergenic platinum - are in contact with the face even with a slight impact, and their three-dimensional shape allows you to work out all layers of the skin by gripping. A solar panel mounted in the handles of the models attracts light and creates a microcurrent, which, in turn, has a beneficial effect on the dermis. The strength of the currents averages 38 μA, which does not cause tissue resistance and feels like a slight tingling or tingling sensation.

Most of the devices have a moisture-proof design, which makes it possible to use the devices in the bathroom, but no more than 30 minutes. They are charged for 2-3 hours both from the sun's rays and from any source of artificial lighting. Platinum plating minimizes the likelihood of irritation and also extends the life of the product. The material does not rust or peel off.

Microcurrent therapy is indicated for facial edema and acne. The beauty gadget helps to cleanse the intercellular space of toxins and harmful accumulations, saturates the dermis with oxygen and stimulates the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers. According to the manufacturer ReFa, the massager also helps to lighten skin pigmentation. Japanese massagers are not recommended for people who cannot tolerate interaction with metals, as well as for those who have skin inflammations, CSD and blood clotting problems. You should not carry out microcurrent massage during the period of bearing a child, as well as immediately after childbirth, since during this period the surface of the body and face is highly sensitive.

It is better to pre-consult with a specialist in cases of very thin, responsive to any skin effect, atopic dermatitis, or undergoing a course of medication... Of course, the procedure should not be carried out after drinking alcoholic beverages.

There are quite a few models in the brand's assortment today, each of which has its own special properties.

• ReFa Carat is considered a basic model designed for lifting the face, as well as the body - more precisely, the waist, calves and feet. The ability to process a large surface is provided by the overall dimensions of the device. The double spheres of the waterproof massager produce a gentle drainage massage.

• ReFa Carat Ray acts similarly to the previous model, actively acting on the skin with microcurrents. The difference from the basic version lies in the more modern design with a raised handle.

• Mini version of the massager called ReFa S Carat is designed to outline the contour of the face, smooth the skin around the eyes, the bridge of the nose, the area near the lips and nasolabial folds. The small size of the rollers and, accordingly, the smaller gap between them, allow targeted acupuncture massage of the most significant points of the face. The case of this model is not moisture resistant, and therefore it is prohibited to operate it in high humidity. The updated design is called Refa S Carat Ray. It has a larger solar panel and a massage handpiece on the back.

• Refa carat face combines the action of Refa Carat and Refa S Carat. With its help, it turns out to process not only the face, but also the shoulders along with the décolleté, capturing the excess of subcutaneous fat with the spheres. The most popular model can be used on damp skin as well as in the bathroom. Its new design is known as Refa Carat Face Ray.

• ReFa O Style is a roller massager with one rotating ball. It provides a lifting effect around the eyes, jawline and forehead. The device, which rotates on its axis, has 440 platinum-plated faces.

It is recommended for use with large body sizes or when the procedure is performed by another person. The massager captures the layers of the skin with all 4 spheres, performing complex longitudinal movements. The narrow side rolls are intended for the arms and calves, and the wide side rolls are for the abdomen and back. Solar panels are mounted on the front and back of the beauty gadget. The handle angle of the device changes in steps of 45 degrees.To change the direction of the spheres, the top surface of the massager is lifted and then rotated 45 or 90 degrees clockwise.

• ReFa Caxa has a special gouache-like surface. It is suitable for use on the face, neck and décolleté.

• ReFa ACTIVE refers to the recently released "sports" massager that allows you to vary the spacing between the spheres from 12 to 45 millimeters due to the flexibility of the handle. The larger this gap is, the more massive muscles can be squeezed out, which is especially important for recovery after physical exertion. A similar procedure is also suitable for combating cellulite. If you squeeze the handle, the grip will be more intense. The resulting lymphatic drainage effect will be significant for the face. ReFa ACTIVE has a titanium top layer and can be used in the bathroom.

• ReFa ACTIVE DIGIT designed for hands and face. This waterproof unit is slightly larger than the ReFa S Carat, and therefore allows you to work deeper into small areas. The updated design contributes to a closer fit of the spheres and a pinpoint study.

In fact, the instructions for using the massager are the same for all the models presented.... The beauty gadget must be driven over the cleansed face or over the body in accordance with the massage lines. For example, the device should be properly moved from the center of the chin to the outer edge of the face, from the nose to the ear, and from the top of the nose to the outer edge of the face. It is better to end each massage movement by draining the lymph, leading the ReFa down the edge of the face to the collarbones. The forehead is processed from the bottom up, and on the neck it is important not to touch the center and zone of the thyroid gland. It is better to repeat the steps 7-10 times, after each approach, wiping the wheels if necessary.

It is allowed to use the device without a special massage cream, oil or primer.... However, the manufacturer recommends using the device directly over the applied care products. It is not forbidden to do the procedure on dry skin, but for some it may seem too intense. Do not use ReFa if you have exfoliating scrubs or cosmetics containing sulfur on your skin. The intensity of the massage can be adjusted by changing the angle of the gadget, as well as the pressure. It is important that the massage does not cause painful sensations. At the end of the session, you can drink a glass of heated water to remove toxins from the body. To obtain the effect, the gadget must be used every day for at least 10 minutes.

Most of the reviews about ReFa massagers are positive. Users notice a noticeable visual effect: the face becomes clearer, thinner and more relaxed. The device is a worthy replacement for manual massage: it is especially good for kneading the lower part of the face, showing the cheekbones, and making the lines clearer. The procedure really improves blood circulation, eliminates excess fluid and dispels lymph.

As a result, the face looks refreshed and less puffy. ReFa copes well with ptosis of the cheeks and removes puffiness under the eyes even better than patches. Finally, many customers report noticeable muscle relaxation. There are practically no shortcomings in the beauty gadget, except that the effectiveness of the device sometimes turns out to be not as high as the manufacturer promises.
