Ultrasonic has been used for cosmetic purpose since the early 1980‘s.Wide therapeutic use, easy control, and great results has made ultrasonic instruments for esthetic use a natural. Ultrasonic sound waves are at a frequency of more than 20,000HZ and are not heard by the human ear.
Clinical ultrasound units being manufactured typically deliver ultrasound frequencies of 1 and 3 MHz with duty cycles ranging from 20 to 100 percent. For skin care, most machines are created at 1MHz with continuous and pulsed frequencies.Ultrasonic Therapy is the latest technology in progressive, non-invasive, painless skin resurfacing. This therapy activates the cells, revives skin fibers and enforces their contraction what effectively prevents the skin aging process. After the treatment, the skin is smooth and firm, facial wrinkles and fine lines are reduced.
Mechanical function:
Ultrasonic sound waves act on the body in the following way - they stimulate body cells, the tiny massage it produces expands the space in which the cells exist, causing movement of cytoplasm, the rotation of mitochondria, and the vibration of the cell nucleus; it stimulates and expands the cell membrane. It improves local blood and lymph circulation, and increases the penetration of skin tone enhancing products.
Ultrasonic helps to improve the metabolism and regeneration of body cells.
Warming and heating action:
Warming and heating action is one of the most important therapeutic factors of Ultrasonic. It is a kind of internal heat, of an increase of about 79-80% - this heat is carried away by the blood circulation and is not perceived by the client. This warming action, can change the blood circulation and helps to reduce inflammation.
The newest application for ultrasound is “ULTRASONIC EXFOLIATION”
A new way to literally clean the skin is by Ultrasound. The skin is wetted with a de-ionized solution and the spatula is glided over the skin to ’split off’ dead cells. The result is remarkable, an instant clearing and smoothing effect can be observed. This process is totally non-invasive and can be used on the most sensitive of skins.
Chemical function:
The biochemical function of Ultrasonic comes from the reaction to anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism- is the process that converts substances into other components of the organism's chemical architecture. Catabolism - is the metabolic process by which cells convert substances into excreted compounds. In other words, the process of cell metabolism. Small doses of ultrasound treatments can promote the synthesis of protein inside the cells, help to regenerate wounded tissues and promote the synthesis of fiber cells in the body. In the process of anabolism and catabolism, the induced product is being absorbed and utilized by the cells. The accelerated metabolism of the cells changes the pH level of the skin to a more alkaline state and facilitates the absorption of the induced product. The skin lightens and smoothes visibly.
This "Ultrasonic Facial" process is gentle, non-invasive, safe and suitable for all skin types, from Acne to Rosacea and Mature skin. Even the most sensitive skin will benefit from this treatment without any significant erythema (redness) as a result of the treatment. Any erythema that does occur diminishes rapidly after treatment.
Ultrasonic is particularly effective in treating the following skin conditions:
Acne
The ultrasound vibration helps to break-up follicular deposits of oil, dirt and dead cells -- a veritable breeding ground for bacteria. Ultrasonic frequency has been shown to kill bacteria and decongest the pores resulting in cleaner, healthier skin.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Ultrasonic helps stimulate and promote collagen and elastin production for more youthful skin. It also helps with hydration. The "plumping" of the skin fills out fine lines and wrinkles.
Sensitive Skin
Yes, this is an excellent treatment for sensitive skin, even those with Rosacea. Pure, filtered water is used during the Peel Phase. It is gentle and non-irritating.
