How do Intrasonic and Ultrasonic Sound Waves Compare?
Ultrasound waves are widely used in medicine for both diagnosis, such as ultrasound scans and echocardiograms, and treatment. Ultrasound waves are able to penetrate deep into the body and must be very specifically targeted when they are used at very high energy levels to heat and destroy fibroids and tumors. Ultrasound can only be used therapeutically by very qualified medical professionals. Intrasonic waves are perfectly safe for home use. They can only travel about 60mm into the body tissue and so it is very easy to target a specific area, such as a muscle or cartilage, close to the surface of the body. Intrasonic waves can stimulate the body tissue but are not strong enough to heat or destroy tissue.
