Ultrasound Treatment
What is
ultrasound/ultrasonic exfoliation?
Ultrasound technology
is the mildest form of mechanical exfoliation. It is gentle, non-invasive,
safe and suitable for all skin types. Ultrasound/ultrasonic works by
sending waves through a flat metal peeling probe, creating ultrasonic
vibrations that measure between 24,000 and 26,000 hertz. These rapid
oscillations help to further loosen the dead skin and debris that is already
in the process of naturally sloughing away. It is commonly used with an
exfoliation gel or foaming cleanser, and is mild enough to be used two to
three times per week. Our device combines microcurrent option which allows
for thorough product penetration and hydration immediately after the freshly
exfoliated skin is prepared.
Corrective topicals are applied prior to ultrasound administration and
essentially pushed into the skin. Superficial and blended chemical peels can
be applied immediately following the ultrasound for safe, highly effective
outcome.
Difference between ultrasound/ultrasonic
exfoliation and microdermabrasion
Ultrasound can be used 2 to 3 times a week.
Microdermabrasion can usually only be
tolerated once every 14 to 21 days as it is a much more assertive peel. In
addition, there are some skin types that remain a bit too sensitive for
microdermabrasion, or are too sensitive to have other technology services
performed immediately after microdermabrasion. Ultrasound is considered more of an
“enhancement” of a basic facial where microdermabrasion is really the facial
itself. Ultrasound exfoliates dead skin cells
without the redness and irritation sometimes associated with
microdermabrasion.
Benefits of ultrasound/ultrasonic
exfoliation:
-
First, it is used in the deep cleansing step of the facial to
effectively remove the dirt and debris from the surface of the skin
-
Later in the facial, it is used to enhance the penetration of
treatment serums
-
Skin will allow for optimal conductivity during microcurrent services
-
Skin will accept maximum light energy when performing LED services
-
Increased hydration
-
Unclog congested pores which contribute to breakouts
-
Ultrasound/ultrasonic treatment is great for somebody with thin
and/or red skin
