Ultrasound or sonophoresis is a form of energy not audible by the human ear, composed of high-frequency sound waves with very favorable effects on the deeper layers of the skin. This therapy is non-invasive, painless, and fast that works utilizing cellular and molecular micro-massage, giving rise to numerous therapeutic effects.
Benefits:
- Skin tightening (line of the mandibular ridge neck and chin).
- Reduces the submental region (double chin).
- Produces elevation of the eyebrows.
- It can minimize bags under the eyes.
- It works on the lines of the neckline.
- Reduces expression lines, wrinkles.
- Stimulates the formation of collagen.
- It greatly facilitates the absorption of creams and active compounds.
- Effective in reducing inflammation.
- Improves blood circulation.
- It does not damage the skin surface.
Among its multiple effects we have:
Thermal effect:
Produces vasodilation, improving blood circulation and generating anti-inflammatory effects of relaxation and sedation of the tissues.
Chemical effect:
It promotes the recombination of cellular fluids internally and thus the metabolic processes allow better absorption of the applied active principles.
Mechanical effect:
It promotes the increase in metabolic activity and this leads to the enzymatic processes of the cells to rapidly achieve tissue repair.
Indications:
- Sagging Skin .
- Fine expression lines (around the eyes, mouth, and forehead).
- Patients over 35 years as a preventive treatment.
- Maintenance after an Endo Lifting or a classic lifting.
- It can be done on any type of skin.
- It can be done at any time of the year.
Procedure:
- Cleaning the skin.
- Gentle mechanical peeling.
- Application of ultrasound through a small diameter head that transmits the waves, a conductive gel is used, with active ingredients or neutral gel .
- The session lasts approx 15 minutes.
- It does not produce side effects except in some cases mild erythema for a couple of hours.
Additional Recommendations:
The rejuvenating effect of ultrasound occurs after several sessions. As the ultrasonic impulses stimulate the dermal tissues, they will be renewed and strengthened until reaching a point where the appearance has recovered for several years.
It should not be used in ischemic areas, eyeballs, or near the ears.
Contraindications:
- People with pacemakers or heart disease.
- Active cancer.
- Radiotherapy.
- Infections
- Vascular diseases, thrombophlebitis, and varicose veins.
- Sensitivity disorders.
- Pregnancy.
- Open wounds.
- Metal implants.
- Acute inflammation and tumors.
