Facial skin needs regular cleansing. Cosmetics have an extremely short-lived effect and can only cope with minor problems. For a more lasting result, many cosmetologists recommend resorting to ultrasonic facial peeling. Let us consider in more detail what this procedure is, what indications and contraindications it has for the appointment.
Ultrasound in cosmetology
Peeling is the most popular procedure in the field of cosmetology, helping to make the skin smooth and eliminate most dermatological problems. The procedure allows you to remove dead cells of the epidermis and start the recovery process. The keratinized layer is rejected due to the breaking of bonds between cells. This improves blood circulation and nourishment of the skin. Among the huge variety of methods for cleansing the dermis, ultrasonic facial peeling is considered the most gentle. Photos before and after the procedure allows you to clearlysee positive changes.
In cosmetology practice, ultrasound is used, which has a transverse shape of a sound wave. Devices that allow ultrasonic cleaning are called scrubbers.
Sound vibrations perform a kind of massage that stimulates the production of collagen. The number of procedures for ultrasonic facial peeling is determined depending on the type of skin. For example, for a dry type of epidermis, a similar procedure is recommended to be carried out once every three months. Oily facial skin requires more frequent ultrasonic cleansing.
Indications for appointment
Ultrasonic cleaning refers to the superficial type of peeling. The procedure is suitable for all types of epidermis and can be prescribed regardless of age. When should you use a scrubber?
Such facial cleansing is indicated in the following cases:
- in the presence of comedones;

- in the presence of age spots, post-acne;
- for dryness and flaking;
- when the first mimic wrinkles appear;

For sensitive and thin facial skin, ultrasonic peeling will be a real salvation, because more aggressive types of cleaning are not recommended in such cases.
Efficiencyprocedures
It is recommended to clean the epidermis using ultrasonic waves only if there are certain indications and on the recommendation of a specialist. Only in this case, the procedure will bring real benefits.
Ultrasonic facial peeling allows you to remove the upper keratinized layer of the epidermis and make the skin more tender and smooth.

Ultrasonic cleaners
