What is UltraSonophoresis?
Ultrasonophoresis is a skincare treatment that uses ultrasound technology to increase the delivery of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin. The procedure involves applying a solution, such as a serum or medication, to the skin, followed by the use of an ultrasound device that emits high-frequency sound waves. These sound waves create microvibrations and temporarily disrupt the skin's barrier, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate more effectively and reach the targeted areas.
The Procedure
The Ultrasonophoresis procedure begins with the skin being thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities. A solution, often containing active ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, or hydrating agents, is then applied to the skin. An ultrasound device is used to emit high-frequency sound waves, creating microvibrations that temporarily disrupt the skin's barrier. This process allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin layers. The treatment may last about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.
Recovery Time
Patients may be able to return to normal activities after the procedure. Redness or a sensation of warmth can occur in the treated area. These effects may settle within a few hours, depending on individual response.
Results
Patients may notice changes in the skin, such as in areas where lines or pigmentation are present. The outcomes of Ultrasonophoresis vary and can depend on factors such as skin type, the solution applied, the number of sessions, and the nature of the concern.
