Women around the world use different methods to get smooth, delicate and elastic skin. They reach for special creams and sometimes even think about using a plastic surgeon. The good news is that you can avoid the scalpel while achieving the desired effect. In this post, we present one of the most effective methods – ultrasound.
In cosmetics and aesthetic medicine, ultrasound is very often used. However, before discussing the benefits they bring, it is worth considering what they actually are.
Ultrasounds are mechanical vibrations at a frequency that is not audible to our ear. They can be produced by special devices, but they also occur in the wild.
Ultrasounds in cosmetics are mainly used to refresh, stimulate and rejuvenate the skin. The effectiveness of their operation is very high. The safety of ultrasound is also important. Absence of any complications, as well as the avoidance of discomfort or pain during the procedure are their main advantages, which convince women to choose this particular care method.
How is the procedure going?
After thorough cleaning of the epidermis, the proper action is performed. The skin is moistened with water. Then the metal tip of the device, which looks like a spatula, is applied to it. It is enough to drive it over the epidermis to create vibrations. It soften the epidermis, dilate the pores and break down the dead stratum corneum, as well as remove any impurities and metabolic by-products. The skin regains a radiant look, is perfectly moisturized, smooth, nourished and flexible.
Ultrasound affects not only the stratum corneum, but also the deeper layers of the epidermis, stimulating fibroblasts to increase the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, we get the effect of a strong skin lifting.
A modern device that emits ultrasounds is needed to perform the procedure. The effects of ultrasonic frequency vibrations on the skin would not have been possible were it not for the special spatula that, when applied to the skin, sends vibrations that improve cellular metabolism and blood circulation.
Ultrasonic waves – treatment properties
When the spatula comes into contact with the skin, ultrasound waves occur. It act not only on the epidermis itself, but also on all particles with which they come in contact. In this way, both calloused skin and dirt, tallow and blackheads, are “knocked out”. Therefore, the main cosmetic properties of ultrasonic waves include:
– Cleansing the skin pores
– Acceleration of ion exchange processes
– Oxygenation of the epidermis
– Circulation stimulation
– Increased absorption of active ingredients from creams and other special preparations, including ultrasound
– Reduction of melanin levels – removal of hyperpigmentation
– Cell renewal stimulation
How often should you use ultrasound?
The effect of ultrasound on skin health is very beneficial. There are no contraindications for frequent surgery. Usually it is enough to use it once a month.
Ultrasounds can also be used together with a special serum or other active gel-like preparations that are intended for this treatment. Then the frequency of visits to the beauty salon should be adapted to both the properties of the preparation, the needs of the skin and the effect that we intend to achieve.
The use of nutrients with ultrasound is highly recommended because the properties of the waves improve the penetration of active substances into the skin, so as a result our skin is able to use them almost one hundred percent.
Ultrasound – application on the body
Most women associate ultrasound with facial cosmetics, without realizing that they can also be used in many body treatments. Ultrasounds have a very good effect on cellulite and stretch marks. They perfectly smooth the skin, act as a cleansing therapy, nourish and moisturize the whole body. The silhouette looks much better because the skin is again elastic and firm.
Ultrasounds – indications for the procedure:
– Contaminated skin
– Cellulite
– Stretch marks and wrinkles
– No skin firmness
– Discoloration (especially after acne and sun)
Contraindications for surgery
The use of ultrasound on the face and body is effective and safe. Unfortunately it is not always possible to opt for a procedure. If you are not sure if ultrasound therapy can be used in your case, please contact our specialists.
Certainly this is not a therapy for people who have a pacemaker or other electronic implants, fight cancer, struggle with an acute inflammatory process, suffer from arrhythmias. Also, heart failure and thrombophlebitis are an important contraindication. It is also not recommended for pregnant and lactating women.
