Ultrasonic face skin cleaning: stages of the procedure, photos before and after

The procedure for skin cleansing with ultrasound consists of the following steps:

Skin preparation for the procedure. At the preliminary stage, the skin is thoroughly cleaned from dirt and make-up remnants. To do this, apply soft cosmetics compatible with the type of skin: gel, milk, foam. Such preparation will have an emollient and anti-inflammatory effect. To disperse the face before ultrasound - peeling is not necessary, which will save considerable time necessary for the procedure.

Toning. Then the skin is moistened with a special tonic. This stage is especially necessary for mature, dry and fading skin. It will increase the elasticity of the skin and improve the complexion. Additionally, make a mask that maximally opens the pores and loosens the upper stratum corneum.

Application of a gel. Therapeutic or cosmetic gels serve as a conductor, because when exposed to air, the strength of the ultrasound effect weakens, and the gel helps to resist this. In addition, the gel contains nutrients and components that help exfoliate dead cells.

Sonication by .After adjusting the device, the cosmetologist proceeds to the basic procedure, during which she carries a spatula-radiator through her face, placing the instrument at an angle of 45 ° to the surface of the skin. During the session, the skin will need additional moisturizing. To do this, apply thermal or mineral water, which is sprayed on the face.

For oily skin, you can use cosmetics( lotion) with lactic acid, in the presence of inflammatory processes - lotions with salicylic acid. Cleaning is carried out in the direction from the side areas to the center of the face, moving the spatula emitting ultrasonic waves against the massage lines. During the treatment, the face acts gently, without touching the area around the eyes, lips and without touching the thyroid gland. Each problem zone is treated several times with light circular motions. The procedure lasts from 10 to 20 minutes. During this time, the pores are opened and the sebum and dirt are released to the surface.

After the main stage of cleansing, the beautician makes a micromassage of the face in the main directions of the lymphatic flow, using the flat side of the nozzle for this purpose. If before applying to the skin a therapeutic or cosmetic product in ampoules, then with the device for ultrasound cleaning it is also possible to perform phonophoresis, during which the skin is saturated with nutrients and vitamins.

If there are such problems as high fat content, acne, special anti-inflammatory medications are applied to the skin, which penetrate deeply into the skin under the influence of ultrasound and have a therapeutic effect. Thus, you can cope with acne, straighten the scars left after acne, remove the enlarged pores and improve the complexion.

Review No.1

Ultrasonic face cleaning is my favorite procedure, I regularly, once a month, do it in the salon. At me the skin differs the raised or increased fat content, from here and all problems: the hammered pores, greasy shine, black points on wings of a nose.

And this method of purification is the least traumatic and painless, the cosmetologist simply drives a special scraper in the form of a spatula. Through it pass ultrasonic waves, which purify the skin from dead cells and contaminants. After the procedure, the skin does not need a long recovery, as after dry cleaning. A few hours later, a slight reddening disappears, and the face looks much fresher and younger.
