Phonophoresis in cosmetology

The principle of phonophoresis

Ultrasound phonophoresis is the impact of ultrasonic waves of different frequencies on the skin with the use of special equipment for cosmetology. As a result, there is a compression and unclenching of tissues, which activates the regeneration process. In this case, the active components of the care product penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, triggering the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The procedure has a complex effect:

• activates cellular metabolism;

• stimulates lymphatic drainage;

• improves local blood circulation;

• smooths wrinkles;

• reduces swelling;

• fights dark circles;

• gives a clean, radiant look;

• eliminates inflammation and irritation;

• increases adsorption properties.

Ultrasound therapy is painless, involves the introduction of important substances through the ducts of sebaceous and sweat glands, cell membranes and intercellular space.  

How does the phonophoresis procedure work?

 

Phonophoresis in cosmetology is used for all skin types and age categories. The beautician individually selects the mode of the device and the composition of the treatment product During the procedure, there is an impact of mechanical vibrations with a frequency of 16 kHz. They penetrate 4-6 mm deep and perform a kind of micromassage. The course of therapy, as a rule, is 10-12 procedures with intervals of 2-3 days. Ultrasonic phonophoresis takes place in three stages:

1. Preparatory stage— thorough cleansing of the client's skin.

2. Main stage — application of a special serum, which is subsequently introduced with the help of ultrasound.

3. Final stage — staying at rest for 10-15 minutes. At this stage, the beautician can apply a moisturizing mask.

During the care process the specialist makes light movements on the problem areas and gradually changes the power of the sound wave. Thanks to this, active components penetrate to different depths. The lower the frequency of ultrasound, the deeper it penetrates into the skin. The patient feels only a slight vibration. To correct cellulite phonophoresis alternate with lipomodelling massage, and also use anti-cellulite devices. 

The procedure does not require special preparation. Specialists recommend protecting the skin from UV rays after therapy. In the summer period use products with filters SPF 30. During the rest of the year, products with a protection index of 15-20 SPF are sufficient.
