Cosmetic Ultrasound with Skindream® TITANIUM from a Medical Perspective.
Effects and impact on the organism and indications
The
cosmetic benefits of ultrasound were discovered in the medical field
where it had been used for decades as a safe and conservative
diagnostic imaging. With the help of a coupling medium (gel), placed
either on the sonic head or the anatomy to be examined, the sound waves
penetrate the body and reflect with the appropriate technical
composition, images from the inside of the body. The most common
example is the ultrasound imaging of the unborn baby. Therapeutic uses
of ultrasound have existed for a long time in the field of therapy.
Ultrasound supports orthopaedic treatments by relaxing muscles and
increasing the blood circulation. It was during these treatments, that
the positive effects on the skin were discovered. Patients treated for
muscle tension noticed not only increased blood circulation in the
muscles, but also visible improvement of their skin in the treated
areas. This discovery prompted the development of “cosmetic ultrasound”
devices.
The effects of ultrasound on the organism are very complex and depend largely on:
- The intensity
- Treatment duration
- The sound field
- The type of tissue
- Tissue density
- Biological variations
The
frequency and intensity of ultrasound waves are of paramount
importance. Both factors define and influence the thermal, mechanical
and chemical components and allow for a versatile range of treatments
in the field of aesthetics.
Skindream® TITANIUM operates
with 1 MHz, a frequency that research and studies have proven to
produce the most effective results on the skin and related indications.
The focus of treatment with continuous ultrasound (therapeutic
ultrasound, orthopaedic) is to increase blood circulation, while for
cosmetic ultrasound treatments pulsed ultrasound is optimal and
preferred.
These vibrations produce mechanical and chemical
effects in each skin layer and also facilitate thermal (increase in
blood circulation) effects.
Skindream® TITANIUM improves the metabolism in the skin:
The
localized thermal effect during ultrasound treatment increases blood
circulation, oxygen supply to the skin cells as well as the metabolism.
At the same time, this entire process accelerates the lymphatic
circulation. Lymphatic drainage is improved and excess toxins are
eliminated from the skin layers.
Skindream® TITANIUM activates cell regeneration:
The
mechanical effect of impulse ultrasound (micro massage), causes the
dermal tissue to vibrate. The combined effect of vibration and deep
penetration flushes the entire skin structure. This elimination of
so-called “waste products” from individual skin layers and the
activation of collagen and elastin synthesis restores firmness and
elasticity to the skin. Cells are regenerated quickly and the
newly-formed cells are transported to the outer skin layer by way of an
accelerated metabolism. This mechanism achieves what is referred to as
the “bolster-effect” that is responsible for reducing and softening
lines and wrinkles.
Skindream® TITANIUM strengthens and tightens connective tissue:
The
combination of heat and pressure from pulsating ultrasound adjusts the
ph –level (alkaline) value in the skin. Tissue is revitalized, which
produces a firming effect. It should be noted that only continuous
treatments over time lead to these desired results.
Skindream® TITANIUM facilitates effective penetration of active ingredients:
The
micro-massage causes “friction” among the individual skin layers. Even
the smallest molecules detach from the skin layer and the skin becomes
more “transparent” The experts speak of “sonophoresis”. Through
sonophoresis liquid, active ingredients (i.e. hyaluronic acid, vitamin
complex, collagen and elastin products) can penetrate into the deeper
layer of the skin. The effectiveness of these active ingredients is not
only increased but also enabled.
