Overview
Ultrasound is acoustic energy in the form of waves having a frequency above the human hearing range. The highest frequency that the human ear can detect is approximately 20 kHz. This is where the sonic range ends and where the ultrasonic range begins. So all vibrations above 20 kHz are Ultrasounds.
Ultrasonic peeling is a skin cleansing treatment by using cavitationprocess: ultrasonic wave in the presence of liquid formed bubbles, filled with air, which expand and burst. This process under the heat and high pressure makes very thorough cleaning of the skin, removing dead skin cells, toxic substances and secretions of the sebaceous glands.
Ultrasonic peeling is a painless alternative to manual skin cleansing. Ultrasound increases the permeability of cell membranes.
How it works
Ultrasounds
Thanks to the vibrations in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, molecular mass of tissue vibrates and heats up. During Ultrasound treatment, there are 3 types of effects: mechanical, thermal and physicochemical.
Cavitation Peeling
Cavitation is a modern technology of painless cleansing of the skin. Ultrasound of a certain frequency induces flexible wave. This wave in the presence of water, sprayed on the skin surface, creates microscopic bubbles of liquid filled with rarefied gas. Under the influence of ultrasound vibrations bubbles are suddenly widened, and then comes to their sudden collapse – implosion. In a short time (scarcely a few microseconds) a great deal of heat is released on the small surface and the pressure rises, as a result, dead cells of the horny epidermis are destroyed without any damage to cells in deeper layers. This phenomenon is called cavitation.
