How is ultrasonic cleaning done

The device for ultrasonic face cleaning is a device with a special nozzle, capable of emitting sound vibrations, which provoke on the surface of the skin and under its upper layer a condition similar to mechanical action.

High-frequency oscillations emitted by the device can cause keratinized cells to separate from the layers of the skin, trigger an acceleration of the local circulation and accelerate healing and recovery processes.

The sound wave comes in such a way that it can not do any harm to the skin.It penetrates to a depth of no more than 0.2 mm.This distance is ideal for the fastest and most comfortable cleaning of the skin.

Before the beginning of ultrasonic peeling, the skin is thoroughly cleaned from decorative cosmetics, steamed to open all the pores.Then wipe with antiseptic and apply, without rubbing, a special gel, designed to ensure that sound waves easily penetrated the skin.The consistency and composition of the gel are selected by a cosmetologist for each type of skin individually.

After the skin is gradually treated with a nozzle device, emitting ultrasonic waves in a constant and pulsed modes.Gradual alternation of the intensity of exposure to vibrations and the action of a special cosmetic agent helps purify the pores, remove contamination sites, dead cells of the epidermis and accumulated areas of subcutaneous fat.

In cases where ultrasonic peeling is performed for the first time, the procedure takes no more than 3 minutes, in the following the exposure time gradually increases the .The degree of completeness of the procedure is checked according to the state of the gel on the skin: if it is not absorbed completely, then you need to continue to treat the skin.

First, the beautician treats the side faces of the face, then moves to the central, most contaminated areas.After completing work on the face skin, the beautician again wipes the skin with an antiseptic soothing lotion.

In some cases, experts recommend additionally fixing the procedure with a cryo massage session, which sharply narrows the opened pores, preventing the possibility of re-penetrating the contamination inside the skin.

The skin, after the end of the exposure process, retains redness for some time, therefore it is recommended to conduct ultrasound peeling in the evenings or at night.To put any kinds of cosmetics after a session is forbidden within 6-7 hours.

It is best to clean the face thoroughly with ultrasound once every 2-3 months.Thus, the purity and radiance of the skin will last for a long time.
