Ultrasonic peels are used for superficial cleansing and improvement of tissue trophism of the face, neck and décolleté.
The ultrasonic peeling procedure is based on the formation of ultrasonic vibrations on the surface of the skin. Surface transverse ultrasonic waves are excited using ultrasound generators with a frequency of 20-45 kHz and a special shape of the emitter - the so-called “blade” emitter. Elastic vibrations occur at the skin-air interface. The depth of penetration of a transverse wave into tissue does not exceed a distance equal to the wavelength.
Mechanism of action of ultrasonic peeling
As a result, the effect of “pulling out the carpet” is achieved - the bonds between the glued skin scales are destroyed, particles of sebum, impurities (including cosmetic residues), and keratinized epithelium are separated and loosened.
An additional effect is achieved by applying a contact medium. In a continuous field of high-intensity ultrasonic waves, boiling (cavitation) of the liquid applied to the skin occurs. This causes the destruction of bonds in the layer of keratinized epidermal cells and their exfoliation. In combination with the rupture of bonds in dense fibrous structures and activation of connective tissue metabolism, this effect stimulates the processes of re-epithelialization of the epidermis.
There is a powerful hydration of the facial skin and compaction of the dermis fibers.
Indications for ultrasonic peeling:
- age keratosis,
- medium depth wrinkles in the forehead or corners of the eyes,
- scars after injuries and operations,
- shallow tattoos,
- prevention of skin aging,
- supporting procedures in the treatment of aging skin.
Contraindications:
vitiligo,
dark skin,
benign skin tumors,
skin hyperpigmentation,
acute inflammatory skin diseases in the affected area,
gold and platinum reinforcement.
Procedure technology
If you have oily or combination skin, it is recommended to carry out the procedure every month, if you are prone to dryness and tightness - once every 1.5 months. Unlike chemical peeling, ultrasound has a more gentle effect not on tissues, without injuring them, but by removing only dead epidermis and impurities accumulated in the pores, which are a source of food for pathogenic bacteria that cause acne.
The face after ultrasound cleaning should be smooth, smooth and attractive. Enlarged pores disappear, the skin looks perfectly clean and well-groomed. Our center’s specialists will give detailed recommendations regarding skin care after cleansing. Usually a mask is applied to the face, which helps tighten the cleansed pores. It is also possible to apply a soothing gel.
During the first days, it is recommended to refrain from actively using decorative cosmetics. Before going outside, apply products with UV filters (in spring and summer). Refrain from using aggressive chemical peeling compounds, abrasives, cosmetics containing allergens, dyes and fragrances.
Ultrasonic peeling devices
To carry out the procedures, ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 24-45 kHz are used, generated in a continuous mode.
Devices for ultrasonic peeling (so-called scrubbers) can be either independent or part of ultrasonic devices with a different set of emitters at frequencies of 1 and 3 MHz.
A special flat spatula with a curved end is used as an emitter. The sharpened surface of the spatula is used for peeling. The “scapula” emitter is moved against the massage lines (against hair growth).
Contraindications
The technique has no absolute contraindications. Ultrasound is not used during pregnancy, acute phase of skin inflammation, uperosis, rosacea and too fragile blood vessels.
There are other contraindications:
- exacerbation of infectious and inflammatory processes (herpes, skin diseases);
- facial paralysis, neuralgia;
- malignant tumors;
- pregnancy;
- recent chemical peeling.
The procedure is performed only in a medical center. Do not trust your health to non-professionals, as this can lead to serious complications. Products used during peeling and disinfection require particularly careful handling.
Effect
The ultrasound technique is considered one of the most popular due to its gentle effect, which also effectively smoothes the skin and clears it of rashes such as acne. Increased hydration improves microcirculation in all layers of the skin. Thanks to the peeling effect, dead particles, sebaceous plugs, excess subcutaneous fat are removed from the skin, and acne is eliminated.
You can get rid of acne
Important! The effect of ultrasound has a tightening effect. Sessions give the same results as micromassage. Muscle tone increases, the skin is better saturated with nutrients and oxygen.
Reviews from clients who have tried ultrasound technology
Maria, Saratov
“Despite the fact that adolescence is a thing of the past, I continue to be bothered by skin rashes. On the recommendation of a cosmetologist, I underwent ultrasound cleaning. The result is very satisfying. After several procedures, my face cleared up completely. No discomfort was felt at all, the effect was even pleasant. In total, I completed a course of 6 procedures, and this was more than enough for me. At first, of course, the effect was not so noticeable, but over time the facial skin became better and better. I am very pleased and recommend it to anyone who wants to quickly and painlessly improve their appearance.”
Lyudmila, Voronezh
“I like this technique because the procedure is carried out quickly and efficiently, and the result is simply impressive. The face looks very fresh and toned. Thinking about buying your own ultrasound machine. Now I’m considering their different types, I’m thinking of consulting a doctor to make sure I don’t make a mistake. I think regular use of such a device will definitely provide me with permanently beautiful, youthful skin.”
There are many positive reviews about this procedure
Gennady , Moscow
“For a long time I thought that a beauty salon was not a place for real men, but I had to change my point of view after my promotion. As a boss, with my shabby skin, I would look out of place, but now I’m holding up well. With clear skin, you can not be embarrassed by increased attention from subordinates, without fear of laughter behind your back. Thanks to my wife for taking care of my appearance and practical advice, and, of course, to the experienced cosmetologists. The procedure was very pleasant. I think I’ll buy a special device so as not to waste time visiting a beauty salon.”
Features of the technique
Ultrasonic facial cleansing is accompanied by the application of professional compositions - cosmetic or medicinal gels. Under the influence of an ultrasound wave, active substances pass deep into the dermis. At the same time, dead skin particles are exfoliated, sebaceous secretions, particles of dust and dirt are separated.
But the cleansing effect is not the only result of the procedure. The peculiarity of the technique is that under the influence of ultrasonic vibrations and thermal heating of the skin, a lymphatic drainage effect occurs and blood circulation improves. A light massage improves the tone of the dermis, the face is visually refreshed and rejuvenated.
The acceleration of metabolic restoration processes in the dermis, caused by the ultrasound wave, leads to active cell renewal. At the same time, the production of collagen fibers and elastin – proteins responsible for youth and beauty – is enhanced. The tone of the face is evened out, the oval is tightened, the woman looks much younger. The pronounced anti-inflammatory effect allows you to use this type of cleansing to heal pores and stop rashes. In addition, the acceleration of cellular regeneration causes a pronounced rejuvenating effect.
After ultrasonic cleaning, the skin begins to actively absorb beneficial substances and water entering the body. The quality of the dermis improves, it becomes denser and more elastic. Skin hydration increases, it glows with health and youth.

How to choose a home device for ultrasonic facial cleansing
For home use, you should purchase a special device. When purchasing, you need to pay special attention to its main parameters:
- Power - from 0.5 to 2.0 W. The depth of penetration of ultrasonic waves into the skin depends on this: the deeper, the better the result;
- Wave frequency: the optimal frequency is from 24 to 30 kHz. With lower numbers, the effect of the procedure is reduced;
- Availability of battery. This makes using the device much more convenient - it can be easily carried and transported;
- The number of modes will allow you to choose the most effective mode specifically for a given person;
- Additional options: galvanic lifting, micromassage or phonophoresis.
In addition to purchasing a device for cleaning your home, you need to purchase a number of necessary cosmetics: a special gel that enhances the penetrating ability of waves, serums and lotions.
