Ultrasound warms the dermal tissue, helping to improve blood flow, new collagen formation and skin firming. Ultrasound allows therapeutic skin products to penetrate more deeply into the skin. Ultrasound works the follicle to release debris, bacteria and excess oil.

The ultrasound facial is an effective, non-aggressive treatment with no downtime. It improves the appearance of fine lines, minor skin damage and follicle issues such as clogged pores and excess oil. Ultrasound can be used to minimize the appearance of raised and depressed scars. It also penetrates the skin to deep-clean and hydrate it, as well as promoting collagen production and facilitating the absorption of creams and therapeutic lotions (phonophoresis).

In cases of microscystic and comedonal acne (difficult whiteheads), ultrasound can help loosen clogged pores. Vitamin C ultrasonic facials are particularly useful for helping infuse Vitamin C. Bleaching agents can also be infused to reach the level of the pigmentary problem (melasma). In short, ultrasound helps infuse whatever fluids used, whether it’s Vitamin C, a bleaching agent or other retinols.

A series of treatments with continued applications is recommended to obtain the highest level of improvement. It’s great when combined or alternated as a strategy with microdermabrasion and light chemical peels.

Although non-invasive and safe for all skin types, the ultrasonic facial is not advisable for people with pacemakers, active skin tumors, metallic implants or active infections.
