Ultrasonic Facial - How Does it Work?

Facial

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at May 7th, 2022

You’ve probably experienced a standard facial once or twice in life, but did you know that an ultrasound facial using ultrasonic sound waves can provide healthier rejuvenated skin? With summertime around the corner, smooth and wrinkle-free skin is an awesome way to welcome the season! If you’re not familiar with the treatment, here’s what you should know about ultrasonic facials and how they can help achieve beautiful, rejuvenated skin!

What’s an Ultrasonic Facial?

Otherwise known as a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), an ultrasonic facial is a painless, non-invasive procedure that uses low-frequency vibrations to rejuvenate your skin. The treatment is an alternative to surgery, as it has a decreased recovery time and reduces unnecessary scarring. Ultrasonic facials are fantastic for people with loose and wrinkled skin. Plus, the effects are seen almost immediately after the procedure without negative side effects from surgery. 

How Does it Work?

Ultrasonic facials activate collagen production, which promotes firmer, healthier skin. The device works by creating high-energy, inaudible ultrasound waves that heat your tissues and get into the deep layers of your skin. Unlike other non-invasive methods like laser devices, ultrasonic facials manage to make it through the superficial layers of the skin. Ultrasonic facials stimulate the dermis layer that’s in charge of producing collagen, creating tighter, renewed-looking skin. 

What are the Benefits?

Ultrasonic facials benefit your skin in several ways. For one thing, it smooths out wrinkles and promotes the development of healthier facial skin. Ultrasonic facials have also been effective in rejuvenating skin elasticity. The procedure can eliminate dead skin, decrease acne, and nurture exfoliation. In general, ultrasonic facials promote the development of healthy nutrients that contribute to thriving, fabulous skin! 

Ultrasonic Facial - Are There Any Side Effects?

Performed by a trained and certified professional, ultrasonic facials are completely safe. Unlike surgical procedures, little to no recovery is necessary once your facial is finished. The procedure itself is painless and shouldn’t lead to any major complications. Nevertheless, if you experience any of the following rare side effects, contact your doctor immediately:
  • Skin tenderness that occurs more than a month after the procedure
  • Swelling that lasts for more than a month and doesn’t go away with a cold compress
  • Skin bleeding under the dermis that lasts more than two weeks
  • Redness that lasts more than 24 hours after the facial
  • Scratch marks on the skin
