Ultrasound gel Mediagel (ultragel) medium viscosity 1kg bottle

Cleansing and treating facial skin with an ultrasonic device or scrubber is a popular procedure both in beauty salons and at home. The effectiveness of the method lies in the complex effect on the epidermis, which allows you to remove dirt accumulated in the pores and products of the sebaceous glands, as well as remove dead particles of the epidermis.

The use of scrubbers, in addition to a pleasant massage effect and deep relaxation of the facial muscles, stimulates the process of active formation of collagen in skin cells. Thanks to such procedures, the elasticity and firmness of the epidermis increases, and the oval of the face looks more toned and clearly defined.

Treatment of negative changes that mature skin is susceptible to is one of the popular methods of using modern ultrasound devices. The devices help reduce wrinkles and age-related pigmentation.

Scrubbers have proven themselves well in removing scars or treating acne. However, the effect of using ultrasonic devices directly depends on the correct selection of a contact gel that enhances conductivity and contains special components.

Description of the procedure

Ultrasonic facial cleansing (ultrasound peeling) is an exfoliation procedure aimed at removing dead particles and deep impurities from the surface of the skin.

It is carried out in a cosmetologist’s office or at home using a special device - a scrubber. After the device is activated, high-frequency vibrations occur in the nozzle with which it is equipped.

When in contact with the skin, they destroy the connections between the cells of the stratum corneum, cleanse the pores, promote the penetration of moisture into the epidermis, accelerate blood microcirculation and activate metabolic processes.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Without the use of a liquid medium, ultrasonic vibrations do not penetrate the skin. This is why conductors are used. For regular peeling, a physiological solution of sodium chloride (table salt) is used; to improve the result, special gels with medicinal components are used.

Reviews of ARAVIA Professional intensive gel for ultrasonic cleaning and hardware procedures

[email protected] , review on irecommend.ru

: “Thanks to the gel, the device glides perfectly over the skin and protects it during the procedure. The gel does not tighten the skin and does not dry out. The face is wet during the procedure. Also, the product does not dry out, does not cause itching or tingling. The gel really steams the skin and helps the contents of the pores come out. The result is noticeable, pores look narrower. After the procedure, the skin remains soft and smooth even after washing.”

What effect to expect

Ultrasonic cleaning helps to increase the elasticity of the epidermis, smooth out the skin texture and improve skin color.

Pores are cleansed of shallow impurities, blackheads are removed, skin breathing is normalized, and metabolic and regenerative processes in cells are accelerated. Positive changes are noticeable immediately after exposure.

The procedure allows you to refresh your face, make your skin smooth and well-groomed, eliminating peeling, the development of erythema and other side effects characteristic of peeling. That is why it is often performed before an important event to look fresh and young.

A one-time exposure to ultrasound cannot guarantee a long-term effect; ultrasonic cleaning belongs to the category of regular procedures. Cleaning should be done in courses based on the condition of the skin. The average duration of ultrasound therapy is 5–8 sessions every 7–10 days, after which a break is taken.

If there are no obvious problems or comments regarding the condition of the skin, it is enough to perform ultrasound peeling once a month.

Reviews from cosmetologists

Cosmetologists note the need to use contact gel as an active conductor for the ultrasound facial cleansing procedure and its high efficiency. The positive aspects include a beneficial effect on the skin, economical consumption and affordable cost. Special attention is paid to the fact that many try to replace professional preparations with thermal water, but it dries out the skin, so it is better to abandon this idea.
