Wrinkle treatment with ultrasound

Introduction

Wrinkles are seen by most people as an unsightly blemish, although these visible skin imperfections are a perfectly normal reaction during the aging process. They are caused by an increasing loss of the inherent elasticity and resilience of the skin and underlying tissues. The beginning of the 25th year of life is widely regarded as the beginning of the aging process, as it is around this time that a radical change occurs within the organism.

This change is accompanied by a change in the normal metabolic and cell renewal processes and the human being begins to age. Of course, this is not a fixed reference value, both the beginning of cell aging and the speed of its progress are relatively variable from person to person. In addition, there are various factors (so-called exogenous factors) that can have a negative or positive external influence on the course of the aging process. The excessive consumption of nicotine and/or alcohol, for example, is considered an enormous accelerator of skin aging. UV light also has a largely negative influence on the appearance of the skin.

Correction methods

The effects of aging on the skin of the face are no longer just a matter of choice. There are various methods that can be used to correct skin imperfections. A basic distinction is made between surgical and non-surgical measures.

The classic facelift is one of the surgical methods, but it carries a lot of risks. Less traumatic possibilities for wrinkle treatment are Experience shows that the latter provides very good results in so-called “reducible wrinkles” (i.e. wrinkle depths of approximately 10 – 30 ?m), and crow’s feet in particular can be effectively treated by ultrasound.

Implementation

In wrinkle treatment using ultrasound, the skin and the underlying tissue are gently warmed by a special ultrasound device. In this way the purification process of the tissue is stimulated and the body’s own collagen synthesis is stimulated. Since the loss or damage of collagen tissue usually plays a decisive role in the development of wrinkles, this procedure makes it possible to treat wrinkles effectively.

In addition, the higher-frequency (approximately 10 Mhz) ultrasound improves blood circulation and increases the permeability of the cell membranes of skin cells. Their structure and functionality is also positively influenced by the wrinkle treatment with ultrasound. Devices for home use even allow independent wrinkle treatment with ultrasound from home.

When used regularly, the manufacturers promise a visible reduction in the depth of wrinkles and a significant improvement in the appearance of the skin. The ultrasound treatment of the face is offered in many cosmetic studios. Depending on whether a tightening of the skin, a wrinkle treatment or a skin pore cleansing is aimed at, there are suitable creams for the ultrasound.

First the facial skin is cleaned. Then the appropriate cream is worked into the skin. Now the desired parts of the face are sonicated by placing the transducer point by point on the skin. After the ultrasound, another thin layer of cream is applied to the desired areas of the face, but this time without working it in. These areas are then treated with ultrasound for 10 seconds at a time.
