Ultrasound treatments have the following effects:

1. Thermal through absorption (feeling of heat)

2. Mechanical as micro-massage (vibration)

3. Biological through physio-chemical processes:

    a) Vessel dilation (increased oxygen supply to the cells)
    b) Hyperaemia (blood circulation is improved)
    c) Improvement of membrane permeability
    d) Improvement of lymph flow rate
    e) Change of the tissue PH in the alkaline direction
    f)  Detonisation of tense muscles
    g) Pain relief
    h) Reduction of inflammation

In order for ultrasound to be transferred into the skin there should be no air between the sonic head and the skin. So a contact gel is applied. In the medical field, especially sport medicine, ultrasound treatment has also been used for many years as a means of introducing pharmaceutics contained in the gel into the skin. That is an additional effect of ultrasound; this process is called "sonophoresis". The treatment itself depends on the following factors: 1. Intensity (Watt per cm²) 2. Length of treatment 3. Frequency of generator (continuous or pulsed sonic wave)

 

Ultrasound in cosmetics? 

For use in cosmetics the following effect is particularly interesting: through the acoustic irradiation of the skin the metabolism is activated; waste products are removed more effectively. As waste products extract moisture from the skin, after each treatment the skin cells can absorb and store more moisture again.

Tone is improved, skin texture looks younger. So excellent results can be obtained in regeneration treatment of the face, bust and whole body. The skin becomes smoother and firmer. The good result of treatment can even be further increased by the use of special care gels whose substances are penetrated into the tissue. In addition the skin condition is normalized in the case of greasy tissue. The flushing out of waste products also makes ultrasound treatment a modern method of dealing with cellulite. In contrast to numerous other treatments profit can be made of the deep thermal effect which causes an increase in fat metabolism. The simultaneous deep massage (micro-massage) also achieves optimal results where there is a combination of cellulite with jodhpur thigh syndrome.

The areas of use in cosmetics are:

1. Cellulite, jodhpur thighs, slack tissue

2. Increase of metabolism and local fat combustion in the case of adipose in any area (also flab/stomach)

3. Improvement of the appearance of the skin through specific supply and purification of tissue; e.g wrinkles or treatment of striae

4. Infiltration of preparations (ampules, mistletoe concentrate)

5. Relaxation of tense muscles

6. Normalization of the skin condition in the case of greasy skin
