Ultrasonic facial cleansing at home

Cleansed pores, skin without blackheads, normalization of sebaceous glands – all this thanks to one single procedure? This is not fantasy, we are talking about ultrasonic cleaning. Of course, in beauty salons the cost of this service will result in an impressive sum. Not everyone knows that such cleaning can be easily done at home. A visit to the salon will cost about the same as... an ultrasonic facial cleaning device at home. Many may say that the salon uses professional equipment, so you cannot achieve the same result at home. However, you are unlikely to notice the difference if you use an alternative option and carry out the procedure at home. But first things first. First, let's figure out what cleaning is and why it is so popular.

Indications and contraindications

Main indications for cleaning:

• oily or combination skin;
• acne;
• excessive synthesis of sebum;
• wide, clogged, visible pores;
• pigmentation;
• dermatitis;
• dull, sickly complexion.

Are there any contraindications?

The procedure is very gentle, it can also cause complications. Therefore, cleaning cannot be done in the presence of skin diseases, neuralgia, infections and after chemical cleaning.

Pregnancy. The device does not emit waves of such frequency that can harm the child. Moreover, this type of cleaning is considered the most gentle for skin care of a pregnant woman. Due to the hormonal "revolution" the skin often suffers - pigmentation, rashes appear, the work of sweat and sebaceous glands increases. If you still have doubts about using the device, you can consult an ultrasound specialist or a gynecologist.

Couperose. It is believed that ultrasonic facial cleansing at home with couperose can be done, but it is necessary to determine the degree of the disease first. When the vascular network is insignificant in area, with barely noticeable vessels, then, most likely, there will be no harm. But if the vessels are severely affected, cleaning is not recommended.

Based on the results of the first ultrasonic facial cleansing at home, you can already feel what the effect of the procedure is. How long-lasting it will be depends on the characteristics of the epidermis and how prone its pores are to the accumulation of impurities.

What are the advantages of ultrasonic facial cleansing at home?

Ultrasonic cleaning is very effective, so it is deservedly popular and is offered in almost every beauty salon. The procedure itself is safe and does not cause any painful sensations.

This type of cleaning has undeniable advantages and practically no disadvantages. Why is ultrasonic facial cleaning preferable to other types of cleaning? Ultrasonic waves act very gently, without damaging the skin. This fundamentally distinguishes it from the mechanical method, when specialized tools are used to eliminate skin imperfections, and such contact often causes inflammation and swelling, due to which the skin will recover only after a few days. In the meantime, you will need to refrain from skin contact with water and alcohol-containing skin care products. It will also be necessary to avoid exposure to ultraviolet light, as it can provoke the appearance of pigment spots.

Unlike mechanical cleaning, which can damage sensitive skin, ultrasonic cleaning is suitable for any skin type.

And the result will be impressive:

• The pores will be cleared;
• The dead skin cells on the skin surface will be removed;
• Previously clogged sebaceous glands will open up and become less noticeable;
• The action of ultrasonic waves is not limited to cleaning only. At the same time, micro massage is performed, due to which the skin of the face looks younger and fresher, and the metabolism in the cells is more intensive.
• The skin will soften, look moisturized, and swelling will go away. Cosmetologists recommend applying a cream or mask immediately after cleaning: then its effect will spread to the deeper layers of the epidermis, since the keratinized layer of dead skin particles has become thinner.

The frequency of cleaning directly depends on the skin type and its health. There are no strict limits here. Of course, the procedure should not be used for daily care under any circumstances. It is best to repeat it 1-2 times a month.

Technique of implementation

Ultrasonic facial cleansing at home is simple and fast: in 15-30 minutes the epidermis will have time to cleanse itself and will be able to "breathe". When oxygen penetrates the skin, collagen synthesis is intensified, thereby maintaining the elasticity of the skin.

Preparing the skin does not require any special skills. All you need to do is wash your face thoroughly and remove makeup. To improve the penetration of ultrasonic vibrations, wipe the skin with lotion or moisturizing gel. After moisturizing the skin, you can turn on the device and start cleaning. During the procedure, you can notice steam vapors above the skin surface. This indicates that the cleaning process is underway. The device spatula must be moved lightly over the skin without applying excessive pressure. You will feel a slight tingling sensation during cleaning. Important: a larger amount of gel or water on the skin ensures deeper penetration of ultrasonic waves.

The cleaning mechanism consists of the device spreading ultrasonic waves of a given frequency, which cause the boiling of the applied gel or water. The impurities in the pores are boiled out. Under their action, the skin is also cleansed of dead cells. However, the power of the device is at a level that is absolutely harmless to living cells. The device works only with hydrogel or water. Without it, the device will turn on, but after contact with the skin surface, it will give a signal and turn off.

After a single pass with a special spatula on wet skin, it dries instantly. If there is a need to treat this area again, then the skin needs to be moisturized again. We cleanse the entire face in this way.

Never use devices for ultrasonic facial cleansing at home in the neck area: there is a risk of disrupting the function of the thyroid gland.

If you notice that your skin has become very sensitive after ultrasonic cleaning, apply a moisturizer.

The consequences of ultrasonic facial cleansing may manifest as slight redness, increased sebum secretion, but after a few hours, the skin is restored. For this reason, it is better to do ultrasonic facial cleansing at home before going to bed. And after waking up, you can apply decorative cosmetics and use your usual cosmetics.
