To improve the condition of the skin and solve various cosmetic problems, cosmetologists come to the aid of hardware techniques. One such method is ultraphonophoresis.
Since the main processes of skin aging occur inside the skin, cosmetologists have the goal of delivering nutrients to a sufficient depth of the skin. Even the highest quality creams and lotions are not effective enough when applied superficially due to the shallow depth of penetration. Only with the help of special cosmetic devices and procedures can nutrients and medicinal substances be delivered to a certain depth of the skin and effectively slow down destructive processes and achieve high-quality treatment. One of these procedures is ultraphonophoresis, which is used to moisturize the skin of the face and neck, reduce the severity of signs of aging, eliminate some defects, and treat acne.
Ultraphonophoresis is a combined effect on the skin structures of ultrasonic waves and specially selected cosmetic preparations.
This technique has found its niche in cosmetology thanks to such properties of ultrasonic waves as:
- the ability to loosen and warm the structure of connective tissue;
-implementation of massage effects at the cellular level;
- significant increase in the permeability of cell membranes and intercellular substances for therapeutic agents;
-increasing the transport of liquids and elements dissolved in them through the walls of capillaries and lymphatic vessels;
-improving blood microcirculation in small vessels and enhancing lymphatic drainage;
- stimulation of the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin;
-reducing cellular and blood barriers to the diffusion of drugs and cosmetics;
-accumulation in the skin and potentiation of the effect of drugs;
- the ability to stimulate cellular enzyme systems and local immunity, reduce inflammation and side effects of used cosmetics.
The introduction of drugs into tissues using ultrasonic waves is carried out to a depth of 2-6 cm through the excretory ducts of the sweat and sebaceous glands, intercellular spaces and extracellular substance. During a one-time procedure, only about 5-10% of the cosmetic product applied to it penetrates from the surface of the skin, but it gradually accumulates and has its effect after 5-15 sessions.
The maximum effect of ultrasonic waves and the penetration of the products used are possible only if the rules and parameters of the procedure provided for in the device instructions are correctly followed.
As a result of the combined action of phonophoresis and various therapeutic effects of ultrasound (mechanical, thermal, chemical), the therapeutic effects are potentiated and are quite pronounced
In our center, for this procedure we use medicinal or cosmetic products developed specifically for hardware cosmetology. During phonophoresis, contact and special cosmetic preparations are additionally applied as needed, and after the end of the session they are left on the surface of the skin.
Stages of the procedure:
— make-up removal and facial cleansing.
— a medicine or a special (for phonophoresis) cosmetic product is applied to the face. And using a device sensor that generates ultrasonic waves with a certain frequency, this substance is injected into the skin within 5-20 minutes. A smooth change in the power and frequency of ultrasonic waves during an ultraphonophoresis session facilitates the penetration of the active components used to different depths.
— applying a moisturizing protective cream after the end of the session.
Basic information
Ultraphonophoresis is a hardware method for caring for the skin of the face and body, which involves the introduction of certain substances into tissues through ultrasound.
Absorption is improved by changing cell activity and stimulating metabolic processes. The procedure is used to combat expression lines, blackheads, acne, cellulite, scars and other ailments. The administration of medicinal substances is not accompanied by unpleasant sensations. In addition, ultraphonophoresis does not cause any complications, since high-frequency sound waves are safe for the body. Ultrasound refers to high-frequency sound vibrations that can propagate in liquid and solid media. In the last century, this type of physical influence began to be used in medicine. Ultrasound diagnostics has successfully replaced radiography in many areas. This technology is best suited for soft tissue imaging. The discovery of the therapeutic effects of ultrasound has allowed scientists to develop treatment methods based on such effects. Today, ultrasound machines that produce sound vibrations of different frequencies are widely used in cosmetology.
Contraindications:
— Acute and chronic purulent-inflammatory processes of the skin and organs.
- Acute thrombophlebitis.
- Oncological diseases.
- Pregnancy.
- Hypertonic disease.
— Coronary heart disease, rhythm disturbance.
— Diseases of the endocrine system.
To achieve the effect, it is recommended to carry out a course of treatment ranging from 5 to 15 procedures at intervals of several days. Their effect is noted after 5-6 sessions. Repeating the course of phonophoresis is recommended after 3-5 months.
At Interval MC, qualified cosmetologists will offer you the following procedures using ultraphonophoresis:
Efficiency of the method
Ultraphonophoresis is successfully combined with many types of cosmetic procedures; the effectiveness of this method is confirmed by the majority of patients. The advantages of the method are:
- painlessness;
- targeted effects of drugs;
- no side effects or negative effects on internal organs;
- fast action: the result is noticeable after 2-3 sessions;
- activation of blood and lymph circulation in the affected area;
- stimulation of collagen production;
- acceleration of recovery processes.
Ultraphonophoresis enhances the activity of leukocytes, which increases the protective properties of the body. After the procedures, the intensity of inflammatory processes decreases and the severity of pain decreases.
Care and cleansing for normal skin using ultraphonophoresis
The purpose of the program: comprehensive cleansing of the facial skin, removal of excess sebum, improvement of skin condition.
Cosmetics used in this procedure have an anti-inflammatory, detoxifying effect, blur fats in the pores, cleanse the skin, thereby increasing the effect of the procedure. Due to the hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, E, C, salt from the Ostrovnoye mud lake, collagen hydrolyzate and aloe vera, the preparations have an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effect, restore firmness, elasticity and color of the skin, increase its protective properties, prevent the formation of wrinkles
The juice of the medicinal plant Aloe Vera has an anti-inflammatory effect, eliminates irritation, peeling, and dry skin.
The duration of the procedure is 60-70 minutes.
The principle of action of phonophoresis therapeutic agents
During this procedure, the healing components penetrate the skin immediately, and within an hour or two they find themselves in the muscles, blood and subcutaneous fat. After the formation of a “skin depot”, the active substances enter the blood and spread throughout the body.
For the procedure, only about 3% of the drug dose is administered. The dose of the substance depends on the condition of the skin, its characteristics and the concentration of the substance itself. If a labile phonophoresis technique is used, 25-30% more therapeutic agents are delivered to the skin than with stable phonophoresis. After all, the continuous mode of wave generation provides a much greater phoretic ability than with the impulsive mode.
To make the procedure more effective, the skin is subjected to mechanical rubbing of the drug. Dimexide, hyaluronidase, and alcohol solutions are used for pre-treatment of tissues. A better result of the procedure can be achieved if the medicinal substances are not removed immediately. It is best to leave them for 30-60 minutes.
Acne ultrasound therapy program
Purpose: anti-inflammatory effect, acceleration of skin regeneration.
This program uses drugs rich in medicinal components that provide anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating effects.
The mask used at the beginning of the procedure, due to its constituent pectin, pilmoist, lactic acid, Rapan salt, significantly improves the effectiveness of ultraphonophoresis, promotes the natural peeling process, prepares the skin for toning and moisturizing, increases the effectiveness of cosmetics that will be applied to the skin after the mask .
The gel has anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, cleansing, moisturizing and nourishing effects, stimulates the renewal of the epidermal layer of the skin. Hyaluronic acid in the gel moisturizes the skin and makes it more elastic. The sulfur preparation has antiseptic, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory effects, and also promotes the formation of epidermal cells. Aloe vera juice has an anti-inflammatory effect, eliminates irritation, peeling and dry skin. Thanks to the content of polyvinylpyrrolidone, it quickly and effectively cleanses the skin of impurities.
The tonic tightens pores, normalizes skin color and elasticity, and minimizes inflammatory processes. Ideal for use as a skin tightening agent after all types of facial cleansing. The salts of Lake Ostrovnoye contain a large amount of minerals, trace elements and biologically active components, provide high electrical conductivity of the gel and enhance lymphatic drainage.
Thus, the procedure has a therapeutic and bactericidal effect on problem skin and is effective for acne and rosacea. After the first procedure, the skin becomes clean, without inflammation, the number of pustules and papules is significantly reduced, redness and discomfort go away. Thanks to vitamins and antioxidants, irritation and redness of the skin are instantly relieved, it is cleansed, imperfections and inflammation are hidden.
Course and frequency of the procedure: 15 procedures with a frequency of 2 times per
week.
In what cases is ultraphonophoresis necessary?
Ultraphonophoresis is aimed at rejuvenation, healing the skin, eliminating internal and external defects and skin diseases. The technique is used for: general cleansing of the neck and face, unclogging clogged pores, narrowing pores, reducing and eliminating fine and deep age wrinkles.
The patient is prescribed a procedure to improve turgor and provide a lifting effect, get rid of pigmented areas on the skin, treat hematomas and remove freckles. With the help of ultrasound, the skin is moisturized, dry skin is eliminated, and fat metabolism returns to normal. Manipulations help the patient restore the skin of the face and neck, giving them a healthy appearance. With the help of the procedure, inflammatory processes and acne are treated, scars are eliminated and the scalp is restored.
The technique works well in the treatment of scars, scars and even post-traumatic adhesions. The effect of ultraphonophoresis is that the tissues in the body soften, as a result of which their elasticity is restored.
Manipulation also helps to get rid of fat deposits in the form of cellulite. The hardware technique uses ultrasonic waves and drugs to destroy fat deposits, normalize blood circulation, enhance cell restoration and lymphatic drainage.
Ultraphonophoresis is indicated before plastic surgery, as it enhances cell regeneration by saturating them with oxygen and other nutrients. Thanks to this, damaged epithelial layers heal faster and reduce the likelihood of complications after severe surgical interventions. Experts note the benefits of manipulation after liposuction.
Lifting program for skin with age-related changes using ultraphonophoresis
Suitable for mature, atonic skin with a network of superficial and deep wrinkles, as well as stressed, tired skin with signs of early aging.
Thanks to the unique composition of the preparations, the procedure has a good preventive effect, increases skin density and elasticity, reduces the depth of wrinkles, relieves inflammation, smoothes the skin, restores turgor, and makes the face noticeably younger. Moreover, all these changes are achieved thanks to the internal mechanisms of the body and are natural for human skin. Hyaluronic acid penetrates into the deep layers of cells, “pushes out” wrinkles, gives noticeable turgor to the skin, increases its density, and straightens the network of superficial wrinkles. Vitamins A, C and E, Aloe Vera, extracts of dandelion roots, parsley seeds and licorice roots restore the skin's antioxidant protection, have a rejuvenating effect and prevent premature aging.
The program has a noticeable rejuvenating effect, provides a lifting effect, makes the skin smooth and radiant.
The duration of the procedure is 60-70 minutes.
Course and frequency of the procedure: 15 procedures with a frequency of 2 times per
week.
Observed effects
After a course of procedures, the following effects are observed:
- the depth of wrinkles is reduced;
- tissue swelling decreases;
- Due to micromassage, the flow of lymph and blood is activated, the supply of tissues with oxygen and nutrients is improved;
- cellular metabolism is activated;
- the secretion of the sebaceous glands is regulated;
- skin tone increases;
- skin texture is evened out;
- when using certain drugs, deep cleansing of pores is achieved;

You can sign up for procedures in Moscow online. The price of a session ranges from 500-2000 rubles. The cost depends on the type of drug used and the level of the clinic.
Execution technique
To achieve a pronounced effect from phonophoresis at home, it is recommended to adhere to the following instructions:
- At the initial stage, problem areas are identified and the choice of treatment composition is determined.
- Before treatment, the selected areas are cleaned with micellar water or warm soapy water.
- After disinfection, clean areas are thinly coated with a bioactive agent. After this, they begin to move an ultrasonic nozzle over them. The movements should be circular. The sensor delay time over each zone is about 15 seconds.
- After ultrasound treatment, the skin is additionally moisturized. To do this, apply cream or nourishing serum to it.
