ULSTRASOUNDS IN COSMETICS


WHAT ARE ULTRASOUNDS?

An oscillation (vibration) outside the limits, where they are audible for human beings. For cosmetic applications, a frequency of 1 MHz is ideal, since this frequency enables you to penetrate into the deeper skin layers as well.

The ultrasound waves are generated by a transducer. It is composed by a swing plate, which electrically converts high frequency into mechanical energy. (if the transducer reaches a frequency of 1 MHz, the swinger plate swings a million times per second)

HOW DO ULTRASOUNDS ACT?

The acting effect of ultrasounds on the skin depend on several factors, such as the duration of application, the state of the skin areas to be treated or the strength of the tissue.  The intensity of the ultrasound also has a great impact during treatment, since it is individually adapted to each and every treatment goal.

The complex effect of the ultrasound and the application possibilities related in a cosmetic treatment are made of a thermal, mechanical and a chemical component.

HOW ULTRASOUNDS CAN IMPROVE YOUR SKIN

During the use of ultrasound on the skin, several different reactions appear. The vibration of the oscillation plate has a “rubbing” effect which creates warmth.

On the other hand, this rubbing leads, besides the warming up, to a micro massage in the tissue. The blood vessels widen, which leads to a stronger irrigation and therefore to a stronger metabolism. The skin is purified, the lymph flow is stimulated. An important aspect when it comes to supporting the skin regeneration.

Moreover, the effect of the preparations to be infiltrated has a crucial importance. Since the treatment is carried out with the help of a contact medium (water-based cream or gel) and acting agents concentrations, this also has a very positive effect on the skin. The vibrating sound waves can help acting agents to penetrate into the skin far deeper and in greater quantities.

APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES

Ultrasounds are applied to the face and the body.

  • The mechanical vibration provides an intensive massage of the elastic fibres in the skin, and therefore promotes a regeneration of collagen. This enables the contours of face and body to be straightened.
  • The appearing depth warmth penetrates in the skin and tissue structure, stimulates the metabolism and promotes the evacuation of toxins. This stimulates the regeneration processes and supports the anti-ageing measures.
  • An ultrasound treatment can also be used as a support during treatments of love handles or cellulites.
  • Comedones (blackheads) and hairs being loosened by the vibrations, impurities or hairs can be removed painlessly and more efficiently after the treatment with ultrasounds.
  • In combination with the infiltrating effect of the ultrasound, special acting agents can be entered into the skin intensively to achieve a visibly more beautiful complexion even with couperosis, scar, pigmentation spots and many other problems as well.
  • The use of ultrasounds is also recommendable after a liposuction.

Ultrasound treatments are painless. Through the produced heat and the micro massage, an ultrasound treatment will be experienced as quite pleasant. This is why it can also be applied to a tense musculature.

How often and at what intervals ultrasound treatments should be applied depends on the respective and individual skin complexion. An improvement of the state of the skin can usually be noticed after 3 or 4 treatments already.
