Ultrasonic facial cleansing

Ultrasonic facial cleansing at Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic is an effective and completely painless way to improve skin microcirculation, normalise the function of the sebaceous glands and cleanse the skin surface and clogged pores. The procedure will give you a boost of energy, returning the feeling of cleanness and freshness to the skin. Ultrasonic facial cleaning at Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic is performed only by personnel with higher medical education or certified cosmetologists.

How does it work?

Unlike mechanical cleansing of the face, during ultrasonic cleansing, an ultrasonic source (spatula) acts only on the surface of the epidermis without injuring the skin. Ultrasonic waves create micro-vibration, activating blood circulation, draining the skin gland pores and helping the body get rid of waste materials and pollution. Ultrasound waves reactivate the lymphatic system, resulting in the normalisation of the function of the sebaceous glands.

Indications

Ultrasonic facial cleansing is recommended if you notice that your facial skin has become dull and oily and your pores become clogged too quickly. The procedure is also necessary for those who often have acne, blackheads and comedones on their face.

Contraindications

• Herpetic rashes
• Pregnancy in the later stages
• Gold thread implants
• Cancerous diseases
• Active eczema or bacterial rashes on the skin
• Arterial hypertension
• Infectious diseases accompanied by high fever
• Bronchial asthma

Almost all of these contraindications are relative, and the final decision on the procedure is made by the doctor or nurse at Confido Aesthetic Medicine Department during the individual examination and consultation prior to the procedure.

About the procedure

Ultrasonic facial cleansing does not require anaesthesia. The approximate procedure time is 60 minutes. During one course, you can carry out two to six procedures at intervals of two to three weeks, depending on the recommendations of the specialist at Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic.

Description of the procedure

Dust and makeup are removed from the face. A special remedy is applied to the skin to help exfoliate old skin. Then the ultrasonic cleansing takes place, which painlessly and gently brings the contents of the pores outside and deeply cleanses the skin. Immediately after the procedure, the skin is very sensitive to nutrients, so an antioxidant mask or other nourishing products can be applied.

Effects

The effect becomes noticeable immediately after completion of the procedure. After ultrasonic cleansing, the pores are cleaned, comedones disappear and the oiliness of the skin is reduced. After a while, puffiness decreases, skin tone increases, the number of rashes on the face decreases and skin colour improves. The function of the sebaceous glands is normalised.

What do you need to know before the procedure?

You should come to the procedure with clean skin, do not use cosmetics on the day of the procedure.

What will happen after the procedure?

Slight redness of the skin will disappear within the next few hours. For the first seven days after the procedure, use the lotions and creams recommended by the Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic specialist. For the first week, do not visit the solarium or swimming pool and do not use foundation.

Comparative analysis with other procedures

In addition to ultrasonic cleansing, mechanical cleansing is often used to improve facial skin microcirculation and cleanse pores. Mechanical cleansing is carried out for a significantly longer time, as preliminary steaming of the skin is required. After the mechanical cleansing procedure, strong swelling and redness is observed. Unlike ultrasonic cleansing, mechanical cleansing is more traumatic for the skin and much less pleasant.
