ULTRASOUND FACIAL THERAPY TREATMENT

Ultrasound is vibrating sound waves which stimulate tissue, raising its temperature and increasing its metabolic rate.  It also increases circulation, kick starting a chain of beneficial events, such as debris removal, healing, and regeneration.

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery recently stated:  “New skin care product formulations, used in conjunction with Ultrasound will allow for deeper penetration of topically applied rejuvenating agents into the skin resulting in significantly improved aesthetic results.”

Three Major Effects:

• Mechanical
  • • Micro-massage of tissue, softening of scars, increased superficial toning, and increased elasticity of the skin.
• Thermal
  • • Creates friction and increases local heat.
  • • Increases the metabolism of fibroblasts and other connective tissue cells, causing the production of collagen and elastin increase.
  • • Increases temperature and stimulates blood flow to the area, bringing it more nutrients and oxygen for healing.
  • • Can also create an increase in lymph flow, which aids in removing toxins and wast products.
• Chemical
  • • Helps increase the rate of chemical reactions in cells to facilitate healing.
  • • Decreases the local pH.
  • • Increases the permeability of skin cells’ effects that favor the penetration of active ingredients in the epidermis.

Benefits:

• • Reduces wrinkles, acne spots, and rosacea
• • Treats inflammation
• • Speeds wound healing
• • Diminishes unwanted pigment
• • Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue and blood flow
• • Improves skin tone and moisture retention of the skin
• • Skin feels smoother and tighter
