Studies show that ultrasonic facials are effective, but results are not as dramatic as surgical facelifts.
Collagen and elastin are components of our skin’s connective tissue that maintain its firmness, elasticity, and structural integrity. According to one study, the amount of collagen produced in the skin of people over the age of 80 is about 75% less than that of young adults. With time, skin invariably begins to show the telltale signs of aging — wrinkles, lines, and sagging.
What is an ultrasonic facial?
The ultrasonic facial is a noninvasive medical procedure that aims to give the skin a tighter, younger-looking appearance. It uses a technology known as high-intensity focused ultrasound.
How does it work?
The inaudible, high-energy ultrasound waves penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, heating the tissues. This creates a controlled micro-injury which stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms to ramp up collagen production.
Unlike lasers, radiofrequency, microcurrents, and other noninvasive skin treatment modalities, ultrasound can bypass the superficial layer of the skin and produce its effect solely in the deeper layers where it is required.
Using ultrasound imaging, the skin layers are visualized prior to beginning the treatment. The focused ultrasound is then precisely delivered to the required location, at the correct depth, with minimal effects on the surrounding tissues. Treatments performed with the Ultherapy device.
Ultrasonic facelift Benefits
Ultrasonic facial treatments use sound waves to boost circulation and stimulate the protein that gives skin its elasticity and firmness.
