Ultrasound
With two Probes: Non-Surgical Lifting, this machine utilizes sonic vibrations to reduce lines, leaving the skin firm and smooth. Features intensity control, three sonic variations, and two sonic heads.
UltraSound SM 814: Its wide range of application with thermal and chemical effects. The thermal effects - one of the important therapeutic features with a type of internal warming, about 79% - 80% of which is absorbed and carried away by blood circulation. The rest (18% - 21%)penetrates to the surface tissue increasing activity of cells in and near the epidermis. The chemical effects - helps increase the rate of chemical reactions in cells to facilitate healing. Also decreases the local pH and increases the permeability of the skin cells - effects that favor the penetration of active ingredients into the epidermis.
Its abilities to raise local tissue temperature, increase blood flow, stimulate cellular activity, move fluids and enhance product penetration are just a few reasons why ultrasound made a natural move into skin care.
The mechanical effects- includes the very important micro-massage of tissue, softens scars,and increases stimulation to firm and tone the skin. When a conventional facial massage is given, the hands provide an average of three vibrations/per second: ultrasound gives three million vibrations /per second. Dual probes greatly enhance massage capabilities and facilitate the effectiveness of the product on the skin as well,while stimulating blood flow. Molecular friction produced by ultra sound is believed to counteract the pathology of fibrosis, reducing the scarring within the skin, increases the penetration FBI products, promotes metabolism and improves cell function.
Thermal effects - is one of the important therapeutic features of the unit, it’s like a type of internal warming. About 79% , 40% of which is absorbed and carried away by blood circulation. While the rest 18-21% penetrates to the surface tissue.
The skin converts the mechanical energy into heat just as rubbing two fingers together. This heat in turn causes the increased activity of cells in and near the epidermis. By increasing the metabolism of fibro blasts and other connective tissue cells, production of collagen and elastin increases, which often is deficient in sun damaged or aging skin. Increased temperature also stimulates blood flow to the area, bringing with it more oxygen and nutrients for healing. Another benefit of increased blood flow is an increased lymph flow, removing toxins and waste products.
Chemical effects- the indirect effects of the mechanical and thermal effects,ultrasound helps increase the rate of chemical reactions in cells to facilitate healing, it also decreases the local pH and increases the permeability of the skin cells - effects that favor the penetration of active ingredients in the epidermis. The specific benefits depend upon the active ingredients in the gel, if there are any present. Any good ultra sound program that employs a well-calibrated ultrasound generator and an efficient gel will achieve results. Take advantage of the ultra sound to enhance the active ingredients of you products by incorporating then into the contact gel. This has the benefit of getting a speedy initial effect of the product, setting the stage for a maintenance program of daily usage.
Clients get a wonderful benefit with ultrasound when the therapist combines the treatments with microdermabrasion and lymphatic drainage.
Benefits of Ultrasound and Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion works on the epidermis while the ultrasoundmachine works on the dermis promoting collagen regeneration.
| Smoother skin tone | |
| Tighter jawline | |
| Reduce blackheads | |
| Control breakouts | |
| Increase circulation | |
| Increase collagen production | |
| Increase product penetration | |
| Skin rejuvenation | |
| Non-surgical lifting and firming |
Ultrasound treatments should be performed once a week in a series of 6-8 treatments
to enhance the microdermabrasion results.
