Before you sign up for ultrasonic cleaning, you first need to analyze in more detail what this procedure is.

Mechanism of action

Ultrasonic face cleaning - hardware cleansing by ultrasonic waves. Today this method is one of the most painless and effective. The procedure is carried out with the use of a special device - a scraber, which is tuned to a specific frequency affecting the skin. Moreover, the outgoing waves penetrate deep into the fabric, conducting simultaneously massage

The main functions of ultrasound waves:

1. Mechanical, leading to changes in the conductivity of the ion channels of cells.
2. Thermal, emitting a large amount of heat, as a result, fabrics become more elastic.
3. Physico-chemical. This function causes the cells to move faster, which improves their regeneration.

It is important to note that this procedure is 100% safe, not traumatic, because after it is done, no damage and wounds remain on the face, as often happens after mechanical cleaning.

disadvantages

There are some disadvantages:

1. With the help of this cleaning, it is impossible to pierce deep greasy plugs, only mechanical cleaning can cope with this.
2. You can’t get rid of acne.
3. The effect of rejuvenation is not as bright as the ultrasonic waves do not penetrate too deep into the skin.
4. To maintain the effect, it is necessary to carry out the procedure approximately 1 time per 1-1.5 months.

How is the ultrasonic cleaning of the face

The procedure in the cabin should be carried out according to a specific scheme, which includes the following steps:

Peeling

Or face preparation. During the procedure, up to 50% of the cornified skin layer is removed. First, the master applies a special gel, distributing it with electrodes. In the process of applying the gel bubbles appear - they burst when in contact with the skin. At this stage, small spots disappear, follicles are cleaned.

The solution is applied with a solution of fruit or lactic acids (the latter are considered the most gentle for the skin).

Exposure to ultrasound

Directly cleaning itself lasts about ten minutes. On the surface of the face the master conducts a scraper through which ultrasound is applied.

At this stage, the entire contents of the pores come out.

Despite the painlessness of the procedure, some patients feel a slight tingling sensation.

Final stage

The final stage ends with the treatment of the face with a soothing gel, an algal mask is also applied, which is held for about 15 minutes. After removing it, a nourishing cream is applied.

What procedures combine ultrasonic cleaning

If necessary, this cleaning can be combined with other cosmetic procedures. For example, if the pores are highly contaminated, one ultrasonic action will not be enough - one cannot do without mechanical cleaning.

You can also combine with special masks, light massage. According to experts, in the presence of pigment spots, they can be removed if ultrasonic cleaning is simultaneously performed using bleaching agents.

It should be remembered that ultrasound cleaning after chemical peeling should not be done - the latter procedure is very traumatic for the skin, because of which it can become thinner, get older.

How to clean at home

If you do not have the funds for regular visits to a beauty salon, you can clean it yourself, for which you should purchase a special preparation. It is easy to use, affordable and quite effective.

2. Facial cleansing gel. The minimum cost of funds - from 400 rubles.
3. Napkins.
4. 70% alcohol.

As with any cosmetic procedure, everything starts with peeling (makeup is removed, other impurities). To enhance the effect, you can use a scrub.

Also determine which areas of skin you will clean, and remember that using an ultrasound device you cannot touch the lips, the eye area, the area above the thyroid.

After cleansing the skin, apply the gel, after which the cleaning itself begins: take the device and run the tip of the scapula over the skin. Moreover, the paddle itself should be placed at an angle of 45 degrees - it should be directed downwards; otherwise, the gel will flow down the instrument. Direct the device from the hairline to the center of the face.

After cleaning one zone, go to the next. The wings of the nose require special attention, since it is there that usually forms the most black dots. After the procedure, the face may be the pellets - it is keratinized skin, impurities left after the procedure. They need to be removed with a napkin. After completion of work, wipe the blade with alcohol.

There are a number of limitations to remember:

1. The duration of the procedure is no more than 10 minutes.
2. You can process the same area no more than 4 times.

The advantages of working at home include:

• significant cost savings;

Also, the disadvantages include the fact that appliances for home use are weaker than professional tools, and therefore ultrasonic cleaning will have to be done more often.
