Ultrasonic face peeling - what is it? This is a mild procedure that helps to eliminate many skin problems and to cleanse the epidermis. You can purchase an apparatus for home cleaning or take a course of procedures in the cabin - in both cases the effect will be visible immediately.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Peeling
Ultrasonic face peeling (peeling) can significantly improve the condition of the skin. The procedure does not provide mechanical effects on the skin and can be considered relatively safe, unlike using a laser or dry cleaning. The upper layer of the epidermis is not injured.
Ultrasound home or salon peeling exfoliates dead skin particles. Particles are destroyed and decay under the influence of ultrasonic waves. The procedure effectively eliminates acne. A mild effect removes pus and dirt from pores that accumulate due to natural blockage of ducts, poor ecology or the use of poor-quality cosmetics. At the same time, the pores do not expand, which prevents the penetration of infection.
Regular ultrasonic face peeling (what it is, in general terms is clear) normalizes the production of melanin and evenly distributes the substance in the layers of the skin, so freckles and age spots lighten or even disappear. The procedure helps to eliminate wrinkles, because ultrasonic waves activate metabolic processes. After the first cleaning, wrinkles become less noticeable, and eventually smooth out.
Disadvantages of ultrasound peeling for the face
Ultrasonic face peeling at home or in the salon is ineffective in relation to advanced skin problems, because it is a gentle procedure. The effectiveness of this method is low for very oily skin. In the presence of a large number of comedones or excessive secretion of sebum, it is advisable to use ultrasonic peeling in combination with chemical manipulations. Ultrasound is usually used before or after cleansing with fruit acids. This allows you to achieve maximum effect.
The procedure has a large list of contraindications, which is especially important for people suffering from neurological diseases. Possible complications. In addition, the salon service of ultrasonic face peeling costs a sufficient amount, but you can save money by buying a device for home use. During operation, the device makes unpleasant sounds, which makes the procedure unpleasant.
Indications for ultrasound peeling
A professional cosmetologist will first offer the client to undergo a comprehensive examination, which will reveal the indications and contraindications for ultrasound cleaning. The effect of ultrasonic waves on the human body has not yet been fully studied, so that an individual reaction can occur. Definitely recommend such a procedure in the following cases:
- age spots and freckles;
- a large number of black dots;
- enlarged pores;
- oily skin;
- first signs of aging;
- unhealthy complexion;
- acne and acne;
- signs of photoaging;
- thin skin (this type is too sensitive for other peels);
- fine wrinkles;
- peeling.
Compliance with the testimony allows you to achieve maximum efficiency of the procedure without complications. In other cases, it is better to use some other (more suitable) method of salon or home cleaning, but do not forget about the presence of contraindications.
Description of the salon procedure
Ultrasonic face cleaning (peeling) is carried out superficially, in the middle layers of the skin or deeply, affecting the reticular dermis. First make-up is removed, the skin is steamed (there are options without primary steaming) and treated with an antiseptic solution, mineral water or tonic. The tool is selected, depending on the characteristics of the skin.
Then, using a special vibrating blade, ultrasonic peeling is performed. This is completely painless, cleaning is not accompanied by any unpleasant sensations. The patient only feels the touch of metal on the skin and a pleasant vibration, but some may be annoyed by the noise that the device makes.
Ultrasonic cleaning takes about 20 minutes. Beautician holds a spatula along the main massage lines. If the skin is sensitive, slight tingling is possible. After there is no redness, there are no bruises or mechanical damage. At the final stage, a mask or cream is applied corresponding to the type of skin of the client.
Recommendations for further care
To achieve a visible effect, it is recommended to conduct a full course, which consists of five to ten procedures. The exact number of procedures depends on the characteristics of the skin. The condition is normalized for a period of four months to a year. Then the course of ultrasonic peeling of the skin can be repeated.
After the procedure, you can use the usual homemade skin care products, but on the first day the cosmetologist will recommend special formulations with a softening, stimulating regeneration and moisturizing effect. It is advisable to wash your face a little with acidified water, and on sunny days it is mandatory to use sunscreens with a UV filter (at least 30 SPF).
Contraindications to the procedure
Since the skin is not mechanically injured, there are much less contraindications to such a procedure than if it was a question of chemical peeling. Dead skin particles are removed gently and delicately. But ultrasonic face peeling (before and after photos can be seen below) is strictly contraindicated in the following cases:
- Eczema. Ultrasound exposure can exacerbate dermatological problems.
- Trigeminal neuralgia. The disease leads to discomfort in the ears and frequent headaches. After peeling, the condition may worsen.
- Rosacea Ultrasound slightly increases the diameter of the vessels, so that after cleaning, new spider veins and bursting vessels may appear.
- Infectious skin diseases. Streptoderma or fungus under the influence of ultrasonic waves can spread to healthy areas of the skin.
- Paralysis of the facial nerve. Peeling is prohibited, because it can cause the death of certain areas of the skin.
- Pregnancy. It is undesirable to carry out the procedure, because the waves can provoke a reduction in the muscles of the uterus.
- Epilepsy. During the peeling, the vessels can suddenly contract, there is also a slight effect on the nerve endings, so that with epilepsy the procedure is prohibited.
- Oncological diseases. Ultrasound exposure is prohibited in the presence of neoplasms of any nature on the face. Benign tumors from this can degenerate.
- Herpes in the period of exacerbation. The infection can spread to healthy areas of the skin if ultrasound cleansing is done at the wrong time.
That it is such a “problematic” procedure in terms of a list of contraindications, you need to know in advance, because not all cosmetologists conscientiously treat their clients. The specialist may simply forget to clarify the presence of certain diseases that are not visible by the condition of the skin (for example, epilepsy or neuralgia). As a result, ultrasonic peeling can cause exacerbation.
Overview of Home Facial Cleansers
Home ultrasonic face peeling - what is it? This is the same salon procedure, but is carried out at home using special compact devices. The cost of the device is not very high and commensurate with the two procedures in the cabin. That is, the equipment will justify itself, but in order not to waste money in vain, it is worth checking first how the skin tolerates the salon procedure.
Rating of devices for home ultrasonic face peeling:
- Gezatone KUS-2K. A device popular for home use, which has a stylish design and relatively low cost (about four to five thousand rubles). The tip is a classic spatula that gently exfoliates dead skin particles of the epidermis. The handle is very comfortable with a clear display and control buttons.
- Gezatone Superlifting. Nice design, average cost (about four thousand rubles), a comfortable grip and an extra beam of ultraviolet radiation determined the high demand of customers. Gezatone Superlifting provides ease and efficiency of the procedure, and does not yet require special care.
- RIO Sonicleanse. The device is effective due to its high power, it is often used in salons, beauty studios and beauty parlors. It has a large range of settings, but also is quite expensive (from six thousand rubles).
- LW 006. It is produced in the territory of the Russian Federation under a license. This is a very simple device with little power, which is just suitable for home use. An additional function is phonophoresis, which makes the pores more sensitive to the effects of nourishing creams and masks. The final cost of the device (from three to five thousand rubles) depends on the configuration and the number of nozzles.
Preparing for a home procedure
What is ultrasonic face peeling at home: an effective procedure or wasted money? It is unlikely that you will have to regret the purchase of a cleaning device, because using it is quite simple, and the results are noticeable after several procedures.
Before the procedure, you need to cleanse your face from makeup and dirt with foam or milk. Cleanser should be selected, depending on the characteristics of the skin. After this, you need to wash and gently pat your face several times with a soft cloth. Before peeling, fruit acids can be applied, but with home care it is better to separate these procedures, because as a result you can get only severe irritation.
How to use the apparatus for ultrasound peeling
It is necessary to apply a special gel for ultrasonic face peeling. In the composition of the product, which is a conductor between the skin and ultrasonic waves, hyaluronic acid is usually present. Next you need to drive the nozzle along the massage lines. You cannot stay at one point for longer than seven seconds. The device can not be used in the eyes and on the lips. The whole procedure lasts fifteen minutes.
After peeling is completed, the skin should be treated with an antiseptic. It is best to use a mild chlorhexidine solution or special formulations. It remains only to apply the cream. This part of the procedure is especially important for women with dry or sensitive skin, who need careful additional nutrition and hydration.
How often can I peel
Ultrasonic face peeling (in the reviews with the photo you can see that the positive effect is visible after just a few procedures) can be used quite often. In most cases, five procedures are enough with interruptions of four to five days. If two or three days after peeling, no spots or rashes appear, then after completing the aspen course, you can continue to use the device once a month. This frequency is enough to maintain a healthy skin condition.
Skin condition before and after the procedure
Judging by the reviews, not only a safe and mild procedure, but also very effective is ultrasonic face peeling. Photos before and after a course of purges (above) confirm this as well as possible. The skin is leveled, oily sheen disappears, the number of age spots decreases or they become much lighter, inflammations pass, and small wrinkles (especially in the forehead and nose) are smoothed. If you observe the regularity, then with the help of ultrasound peeling you can forever forget about problems with age spots, black spots and inflammations.
