UltraSonophoresis allows for the faster absorption of active skincare ingredients into the skin. The powerful UltraSonophoresis (Infusion) technology utilises low frequency ultrasound that has been shown to increase transdermal penetration of various ingredients up to 1,000 times than that achieved with other application methods.
How does it work
Low frequency ultrasound technology is the secret weapon behind achieving optimum results. Adopted for use in treatments, it creates a more porous surface on your face, allowing active ingredients from our skincare products to permeate the deeper levels of our skin, a process known as transdermal transport.
It does this via the use of ultrasound waves at a resonance of 20 KHz (20,000 cycles per second), which creates tiny bubbles or pockets in the skin’s lipid layer. These newly formed spaces are then quickly filled with your facial product before they close, allowing the vibrations from the ultrasound to propel ingredients deeper into your skin’s layers where they can move through your intact living skin and into your soft tissue to be most effective. Repeated waves targeting an area create more bubbles for even more benefits and better results.
Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for the face and body treatment may be offered in conjunction with light peels and the UltraSonophoresis device.
