 The application of ultrasonic frequency is commonly used by salon professionals to plump up and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, shrink enlarged pores, relieve puffy eyes, reduce the appearance of cellulite, fade dark eye circles, freckles and old age spots and even repair scar damage. The process is safe, painless and gentle and is even used by sensitive skin types such as those with Rosacea.
Once only found in day and /medical spas, dermatologist and plastic surgeons offices, ultrasonic facial treatment technology is now within the reach of the home user. For example, the personal Portable Ultrasonic Facial Machine System offers safe and effective facial toning treatment, all in the comfort of your own home. The professional-grade bt-Micro Hand-Held Facial Tool combines ultrasonic functionality with microcurrent technology to gently exfoliate the skin and assist with skin care product penetration. Ultrasonic facial machines produce sophisticated sound wave technology in three different treatment modes through a silver probe which the user effortlessly glides along the contour of the face.
The sound waves produced by the ultrasound facial machine resonates well above our hearing level and move too quickly for our nerve endings to register. The intensive rejuvenating cyclic sound waves penetrate below the skin reaching the dermis and will not cause the user any discomfort or unusual side effects. Some ultrasonic machines offer the convenience of different treatment modes. Generally, lower ultrasonic frequencies will penetrate deeper below the skin. Thus, the 1MHz mode is designed for general body treatment where tissues and muscles are thicker. The 3MHz mode is designed for general facial treatment where tissues and muscles are much thinner. The 5Mhz mode is appropriate for treatment around the most delicate area - the eyes.

In order to optimize the penetration of the cyclical sound waves produced by the ultrasound facial machine, a conductive gel must be used. Besides encouraging improved conductivity, the gel also penetrates deep into the skin. As such, many estheticians use quality optimized gels that contain skin-firming ingredients such as Jellen® Organic Conductive Facial Machine Gel.
When ultrasound enters the body it reacts in various ways. It is absorbed by muscle, tendons and bone. Harder surfaces like bone will absorb and reflect ultrasound energy. All of these play a role in the eventual total temperature rise in the surrounding tissue. This in turn dramatically increases needed oxygen to the cells and aids in the removal of waste products. This antibacterial cleansing action also helps prevent the onset of acne and blemishes and the skin is left feeling instantly energized, rosy, firm, refreshed and noticeably softer - even after just one application! |
