Ultrasound Therapy and Skincare

High frequency mechanical oscillations for exfoliation and cleansing

Ultrasonic

Product penetration using ultrasound to create channels for absorption

Sonophoresis

Aids in cosmeceutical penetration, treats hyperpigmentation, reduces wrinkles, increases microcirculation, stimulates collagen production, speeds up skin repair

Benefits of Ultrasound

How does ultrasound work?

Ultrasound works by using sound waves at specific frequencies to create physical changes at the cellular level

Generated by crystal converting energy via Piezoelectric effect

Ultrasound Energy

What does ultrasound do?

Increase skin temp, stimulate circulation lymph drainage and cell metabolism, increases cell permeability.

Class I device

Least amount of regulatory control

Regulatory control levels: Class I, II, III based on harm potential

Device Classification

Depth of tissue penetration and energy absorption based on frequency

Cosmetic Application

Most stringent, present an unreasonable risk of illness or injury

Class III device

How is ultrasound measured?

Megahertz

What does Ultrasonic do?

Deep cleanse, assists in dislodging follicular impurities, product penetration by using opposite side of spatula
