What are the effects of using Ultrasonic Health & Beauty Devices?
-The use of ultrasound devices in treatments have three major effects [Ref. 4]: Mechanical effects: The mechanical effects include the very important micro-massage of tissue, softening of scars, increased superficial toning, and increased elasticity of the skin. Thermal effects: The thermal effects of ultrasound create friction and increase local heat. By increasing the metabolism of fibroblasts and other connective tissue cells, production of collagen and elastin increases. Increased temperature also stimulates blood flow to the area, bringing with it more oxygen and nutrients for healing. Another benefit of increased blood flow is an increase in lymph flow, which aids in removing toxins and waste products. Chemicals effects: Ultrasound helps increase the rate of chemical reactions in cells to facilitate healing. It also decreases the local pH and increases the permeability of skin cells, effects that favor the penetration of active ingredients in the epidermis.
