Modern technologies do not stand still. Until quite recently, no one had any idea about the presence of ultrasonic waves with an almost unlimited range of applications. Nowadays, the use of an ultrasonic device is widespread not only in medicine, but also in cosmetology. In addition, this device can become indispensable in everyday life and household! But first things first.
Operation principle
How does this device work? Why can a doctor see an image of a certain organ thanks to an ultrasound therapy device, and a beautician can clean the face and improve blood circulation in the capillaries of the skin?
The operation of the ultrasound machine is based on the creation of an ultrasonic wave oscillating at a frequency of 1-25 MHz. When this wave of ultrasound hits various organs and tissues, each individual cell reflects it in its own way, transmitting the signal back to the sensor, after which it is broadcast to the monitor of the device. It is on this principle of action that its use in medicine is based.
In cosmetology, non-reflective ability is usedtissues, and the ability of ultrasound to literally push the necessary substances into the skin with its vibrations. Before the procedure, a special cream-gel is applied to the skin, which cleanses the pores under the action of an ultrasonic wave.

Use in cosmetology
The facial ultrasound machine is a device much smaller than that used in medicine. It fits in the hand and has a small weight so as not to cause fatigue of the beautician's hands. Ultrasonic waves are bounced off a small metal plate located at the end of the instrument. They drive in a product previously applied to the face, cleansing the pores, exfoliating dead skin cells.
