Did you know that ultrasound technology (particularly in the form of ultrasonic wave facials) can be useful for rejuvenating the skin?
Confused? Well, during an ultrasonic facial, professionals use high level sound wave technology. The sound waves penetrate deep into the surface of the skin killing the bacteria. It also gets rid of excessive oils, for clean and glowing skin. You often undergo this procedure after other facial treatments to heal the skin.
This kind of facial is commonly used in various salons for various skin treatments. To understand the highly advanced facial in more depth, continue to read this post.
How Does It Work?
During ultrasonic wave facials, a salon professional will gently cleanse and pat the client dry. They will then apply an ultrasound gel evenly on the skin. Next, the ultrasound facial machine is adjusted to a particular treatment frequency rate based on the area that needs to be treated.
The ultrasound waves are measured in MHz.
Ultrasound frequency ranges from 1-3 MHz, with ultrasound waves at 1 being the highest. Different areas of the face and body require different treatment depths. For example, the 1MHz mode is designed for treatment of tissues and muscles that are thicker, 3MHz is for the thinner areas like cheeks, foreheads and chins, and 5 MHz is designed for treatment around the most delicate areas like eyes and ears.
The wand machine used for the procedure (which uses ultrasonic vibrations at a very low frequency) is placed gently and slowly around the skin areas that need to be treated. The sound waves that are produced penetrate very deep into the skin, reaching the dermis (the lower layer of two main layers that make up the skin – the second layer is the epidermis), and treats and stimulates the skin.
Is Ultrasonic Wave Facial Beneficial?
The ultrasonic facial is a far better alternative than plastic surgery, laser resurfacing, Botox injection or any other type of skin enhancement treatment. It will provide you with endless benefits. It cleanses harmful toxic elements, and helps get rid of acne, freckles, scars or red pores from the skin.
But the benefits don’t end here. The ultrasonic wave facials tighten and tone the facial skin, neck and body, diminishes wrinkles and fine lines, lightens under circles, reduces puffy eyes, improves the skin texture and tone, increases cell metabolism, and stimulates blood circulation.
Does It Provide Instant Results?
Yes, you might notice a significant change in the appearance of your skin instantly. Your skin might become firmer, smoother and tighter.
In the case of heavy-duty treatments, it can take a few months to see the promising results. It is mainly because the body might take some time to produce collagen – a form of skin protein – so it may take some time for the results to be visible.
Is the Ultrasonic Wave Facial Entirely Safe?
Yes, ultrasonic wave facials are completely safe. However, there are some safety limitations that one needs to be mindful of. The facial is not meant to be performed internally (nose or mouth), or anywhere near or at the center of the throat. Any open wounds, sores and infected areas on the skin also need to be kept away from the ultrasound waves.
The facial is undoubtedly safe, beneficial and pain-free. It can be used for all skin types, including sensitive skin, such as people who suffer from rosacea. Even better, the treatment offers long lasting results.
