Ultrasonic Facial – The How, What, and When

Although it is a relatively new procedure, Ultrasonic is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of facial. An Ultrasonic Facial is a treatment that uses advanced sound wave technology to improve the appearance and quality of your skin. It does this by penetrating deep below the surface and working on the layers that determine the outer appearance of your skin – getting rid of everything that makes the skin look bad.

Ultrasonic Facial treatment promotes cellular repair, tightens and tones facial muscles, helps prevent puffiness and swelling, and helps blood circulation.

How Is an Ultrasonic Facial Performed?

Before your facial appointment, you will probably be asked to do a gentle face cleanse to remove embedded dirt and makeup – but avoid wipes and cleansers that contain alcohol, which will dry out your skin. Ensure your hands are clean first and use a clean towel to dry your skin.

You will be made comfortable at your appointment, and your attending aesthetician will use a hand-held device to treat the areas selected for Ultrasonic. During your treatment, metabolic processes will intensify – nutrient and oxygen supply to your cells will increase. The heat generated by the process will also stimulate blood flow. Your skin will naturally tighten, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Ultrasonic Facial?

There are many benefits to Ultrasonic Facials, but much will depend on what you are having treated and your personal needs and goals.

In general, Ultrasonic Facials are beneficial for:

• Treating a variety of skin conditions – such as acne, rosacea, and sun damage
• Exfoliating dead skin cells for healthier and better-looking skin
• Loosening and removing oil and dirt from pores
• Stimulating the production of collagen and elastin
• Stimulating blood flow – which nourishes your skin and improves your complexion
• Toning facial muscles
• Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
• Tightening sagging skin
• Relieving “puffy” eyes
• Treating acne
• Tightening enlarged pores
• Fading dark circles under the eye
• Treating freckles and spots

Are There Risks Involved with Ultrasonic Facials?

With Ultrasonic technology, you have nothing to worry about: the process is gentle and relaxing and does not injure or damage the skin. Think of it as a vibrating massage for your skin!

How Often Should You Get Ultrasonic Facial?

Depending on the condition of your skin and your personal aesthetic goals, most practitioners recommend getting Ultrasonic Facials 1-3 times weekly. But the process is so gentle that it can be a part of your daily skincare!
