The SkinLazerMed center is a clinic in St. Petersburg where you can do ultrasonic (hardware) facial cleansing with the help of a professional cosmetologist at a reasonable price! During the procedure, ultrasound has a beneficial effect on the skin: improves blood circulation and provides an anti-inflammatory effect.

Hardware ultrasonic facial cleansing has an amazing effect.

Main types of facial cleansing

Facial skin peeling procedures are performed using manual cleaning methods or using special devices. Sometimes both methods are combined. Depending on the condition of the skin, the cleaning method is selected individually in each specific case.

A professional cosmetologist will perform the procedure using the most appropriate method, taking into account all the circumstances (client’s condition, specific problem). Recently, professional cosmetologists prefer to use the hardware method of ultrasonic cleaning. Let's figure out what is better: mechanical or ultrasonic facial cleansing.

Manual

Manual (mechanical or manual) cleaning remains the most effective. This is a therapeutic procedure and a good prevention of inflammatory processes on the face. This method even corrects deep skin lesions (millia and comedones). The manual method is recommended for problematic and oily skin, and is not suitable for thin, sensitive skin.

The manual method gives excellent results when combined with ultrasound peeling. Therefore, the purely manual method is used less and less.

Hardware

Hardware includes cleaning methods using special devices. Among them:

• ultrasonic – based on the ability of ultrasonics to penetrate deeply into a substance (skin), used for all skin types;
• brushing - a combination of hardware and mechanical methods; currently rarely used;
• vacuum – contamination from the epidermis is “sucked out” by vacuum; the procedure is indicated for clients in adulthood;
• galvanic cleansing – based on the property of galvanic current to increase the tone of facial muscles; currently not popular;
• diamond-vacuum (dermabrasion or diamond peeling) – vacuum “sucking out” of contamination in combination with diamond spraying.

A cosmetologist can only recommend a suitable method of cleansing your face during a personal examination.

Ultrasonic facial cleansing

We turn only to professionals!

A cosmetologist will not just perform the procedure; first, he will analyze the condition of the skin and the patient’s individual symptoms - this is the only way to choose the type of ultrasound and the duration of the procedure. With an unprofessional approach, the patient is not advised about contraindications, which can lead to dire consequences. It is strictly forbidden to do ultrasonic lifting in case of advanced inflammatory processes or major fresh damage to the skin surface, in the presence of infectious diseases and neoplasms. The doctor’s refusal to perform the procedure will definitely be caused by the patient’s poor health, high temperature, or pregnancy.

Trust the care of your skin only to professional cosmetologists who are interested not only in impressive results, but also in your health.

What does ultrasonic facial cleansing do?

The main goal of ultrasound exposure is the improvement of facial skin, which is achieved through the processes of cleansing, moisturizing and rejuvenating skin tissue under the influence of ultrasound, which activates metabolic processes and accelerates the renewal (regeneration) of the skin. As a result, blood circulation increases and the nutrition of skin cells with oxygen and beneficial microelements improves.

Due to microvibration of tissues, acting as a micromassage, a rejuvenating effect is achieved. The skin is smoothed, moisturized, elasticity increases, sagging and swelling disappear.

The cleansing effect of ultrasound is to remove dead skin cells and various types of impurities, narrowing and cleansing the pores and sebaceous glands. As a result, overall immunity increases.

How does the peeling procedure work?

Ultrasound peeling does not require any preliminary preparation and involves the following steps:

• Stage 1:

Professional facial cleansing using cosmetics.

• Stage 2:

Degreasing and antiseptic treatment of the skin.

• Stage 3:

Application of a special gel to the skin, which acts as a conductor of ultrasonic waves. The gel is selected taking into account the skin type and its condition. This substance contains hyaluronic acid, which promotes deep hydration.

• Stage 4:

The cosmetologist uses a special attachment in the form of a spatula that generates ultrasonic waves to pass over the main massage lines of the face. The procedure lasts about 15-20 minutes.

• Stage 5:

Toning and moisturizing the skin.

During the session, all the patient feels is a slight warmth or tingling in the area of ​​treatment. After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and not use cosmetics for 12 hours.

How is ultrasonic facial cleansing done?

Ultrasonic facial peeling is a painless and safe hardware method of cleaning. It is indicated for any skin type. Before the procedure, the device is adjusted by a specialist to certain parameters to prevent facial injury.

The ultrasound cleansing method is based on the process of cavitation (non-surgical liposuction). Under the influence of ultrasound, the epidermis and adipose tissue are heated. The ultrasonic wave destroys fat cells, the fat turns into liquid and is removed from the skin tissue through the pores. As a result, metabolism is activated at the cellular level, blood flow to the face increases, and tissue regeneration occurs. The skin becomes softer, fresher, swelling goes away.

Advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonic peeling

Like any procedure, ultrasonic facial cleansing has pros and cons. In order to make the right choice in favor of a specific method, cosmetologists advise to compare the ultrasonic method with other methods of facial cleansing and find out which is better. The advantages of ultrasonic cleaning include:

• safety and painlessness;
• gentle effect on the skin - no painful sensations;
• short duration of the procedure – no more than 40 minutes;
• there are no age restrictions, ultrasonic cleaning can be carried out from adolescence to adulthood;
• applicable as a prophylactic for normal facial skin;
• there are no complications or side effects in the form of redness and swelling;
• no rehabilitation period;
• affordable price (no higher than manual cleaning).

The absence of a rehabilitation period allows you to get involved in everyday life almost immediately after ultrasound cleaning.

Disadvantages of ultrasonic cleaning:

1. not effective for heavy soiling, severe acne conditions; in such cases, only the manual method helps;
2. the rejuvenating effect is weakly expressed;
3. short period of action (cleaning must be repeated almost monthly);
4. an extensive list of contraindications.

Contraindications to ultrasonic cleaning

While completely safe, ultrasonic facial cleansing also has contraindications, these include:

• pregnancy;
• tumors;
• hypertension;
• arrhythmia, tachycardia;
• coronary heart disease;
• circulatory disorders;
• endocrine diseases;
• neuralgia;
• infections;
• bronchial asthma;
• reinforcement (implantation) of “golden threads”;
• purulent inflammation of the skin;
• facial skin injuries;
• eczema, herpes;
• epilepsy;
• thrombophlebitis;
• elevated temperature;
• chemical peeling of the face.

Indications and expected results

Ultrasound facial cleansing is indicated for oily and combination skin; in all other cases it is not recommended. It is believed that the immediate indications for performing the procedure are:

• Enlarged pores.
• Small pimples.
• Acne.
• Oily skin shine.

After the effect, the face is cleansed, the work of the sebaceous ducts is normalized, the pores are narrowed, sebaceous plugs and blackheads come to the surface. In addition, the skin becomes more elastic, fine wrinkles disappear, and the color and structure of the skin improves.

Sequence of the procedure

The process of ultrasonic facial cleansing consists of three stages: preparatory, direct ultrasonic exposure and final. Ultrasonic facial cleansing products are used at all stages.

Skin peeling

At the peeling stage, the face is prepared for the main procedure. Preparation consists of a number of sequential operations.

First, the gel is applied to the face and evenly distributed over it using an ultrasound probe. In this case, cavitation bubbles (steam) are formed, they crack during micro-interaction with the skin and the follicles are cleaned.

Then a liquid from a complex of fruit acids is applied to the face, and cavitation continues (enzyme peeling). At this phase, coarsened particles are removed, the epidermis is cleansed by 20% and even 50%.

After this, a warming mask is applied to the face. For greater warming, the mask is covered with plastic film, also preheated. Then the skin is wiped with a special lotion and a massage is performed.

Ultrasonic action

At this stage, ultrasonic facial cleansing is performed directly. The process takes 10 minutes. A special scraper is passed over the face, emitting ultrasonic waves. During cavitation, the fat in the pores is broken down into liquid and pushed out by ultrasound. The cleansing process is painless, but there may be a slight tingling sensation.

In addition to the direct cleansing effect, the effect of microcurrents normalizes the condition of the epidermis and enhances the processes of healing and cell regeneration. These are additional advantages in favor of the ultrasonic method of facial cleansing.

Final procedures

At the final stage, the last operations are performed. The face is wiped with a soothing agent, then an antioxidant mask is applied. After which the face is again wiped with lotion and lubricated with nourishing cream.

Features of facial care after ultrasonic cleansing

The redness of the skin that occurs after the procedure usually disappears quickly and does not require special efforts to eliminate. You can return to your normal lifestyle almost immediately.

However, there are still some restrictions:

• you cannot visit bathhouses, solariums and swimming pools in the next 12 hours;
• you should refrain from wearing makeup for 24 hours;
• For three days you need to wipe your face with a tonic that does not contain alcohol;
• when going outside, use sunscreen, even in winter, or any nourishing one;
• It is useful to wipe the skin with ice cubes made from a decoction of herbs such as sage, calendula, chamomile;
• in the first month, make restorative face masks from sea buckthorn oil, white clay or yeast.

What procedures can be combined with?

Ultrasonic peeling can be combined with other skin cleansing procedures. The need for additional funds arises when ultrasound does not cope with the problem. In such cases, combined procedures are used. More often, ultrasonic cleaning is combined with mechanical cleaning. The symbiosis of the two methods increases the effectiveness of ultrasonic peeling and prolongs its duration.

Recently, the opinions of cosmetologists have been divided: some prefer peeling to manual cleaning as a less traumatic procedure, others use combined cleaning as a more productive one.

Massages and masks are compatible with ultrasound procedures, which enhance the effect. Good results in removing age spots are achieved when used together with bleaching agents.

This procedure should not be performed immediately after chemical peeling (see contraindications). Exposure to ultrasound may cause additional facial injuries.

Contraindications

Before attending the procedure, it would be a good idea to seek preliminary consultation with a specialist. The cosmetologist will not only tell you the main nuances of ultrasonic cleaning, but will also determine its feasibility by asking about possible contraindications. In order not to harm the patient’s health, this kind of exposure is not provided in the following cases:

• Malignant tumors and oncology.
• Increased body temperature.
• Hypertension.
• Epilepsy and nervous disorders.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Pathologies of the heart and blood vessels.
• The presence of an intrauterine device, pacemakers, braces, metal pins, silicone or gel implants, gold threads.
• Neurological diseases of the face.
• Cuperosis.
• Pigmentation disorder.
• Increased sensitivity of the skin.
• Violation of the integrity of the skin at the site of exposure;
• Herpes, burns, allergic rashes and other similar manifestations on the face.

In addition, ultrasonic facial cleansing is not carried out after plastic surgery, tightening, skin rejuvenation, chemical peeling and other aggressive cosmetic procedures.

Separately, we should touch upon the issue of carrying out the procedure during pregnancy; here the opinions of cosmetologists are divided. Most experts claim that expecting a child is a direct contraindication to ultrasound, while others believe that the absence of pathologies and complications allows expectant mothers to care for their facial skin in a similar way. In any case, additional consultation with a gynecologist for a pregnant woman in these matters will be very useful.

How often should you undergo ultrasound facial peeling?

The frequency of passage depends on your skin. For normal skin and good condition, once every 2 or 3 months is enough. This amount will be enough for dry skin. If the skin is problematic, then the procedure should be completed 2–3 times a month. To achieve the desired result, cleaning must be performed 5 to 8 times. In the future, you can switch to the schedule recommended by the cosmetologist. To continuously maintain the good appearance of your skin, the procedure must be carried out regularly.

Ultrasonic facial cleansing in the salon

Average cost of the procedure

The price of ultrasonic facial cleansing depends on the image of the salon, its location, the professional level of specialists and the number of operations accompanying the procedure (phonophoresis, massage, masks), which directly depend on the client’s skin problems.

On average, the cost of a procedure in beauty salons is 1,500 rubles (min. price 500 rubles, max. 2,000 rubles). The minimum cost of the device is 3,000 rubles, which is equivalent to two or three visits to the salon. Considering this circumstance, plus the need for periodic cleaning, it makes sense to purchase a device for use at home.
