Facial skin needs not only daily cleansing, but also periodic thorough deep cleansing. One of the most popular means of skin cleansing these days is ultrasonic facial cleansing, often abbreviated as ultrasonic facial cleansing . Ultrasonic skin cleansing is a virtually painless hardware procedure that allows you to achieve deep and effective cleansing of the skin from dead cells and clogged sebaceous glands. This cleaning is carried out using an ultrasonic scrubber. Ultrasonic vibrations of the metal plate, touching the patient’s skin, allow you to clean the skin pores, exfoliate the top layer of dead cells, even out the skin texture, and also stimulate the production of elastin and collagen in the patient’s skin, tone the facial muscles, and have a pronounced lifting effect. Ultrasonic facial cleansing has a restorative and rejuvenating effect without subjecting the skin to squeezing and stretching.
Ultrasonic skin cleansing is successfully used not only on the face, but also in the décolleté, back and shoulders and can be performed at any time of the year.
Ultrasonic facial cleansing: procedure
Before cleansing, the skin is moisturized with a special solution of mineral water and peeling substances. During the procedure, the cosmetologist makes stroking movements on the skin with a scrubber. The touch of the scrubber causes ultrasonic vibration. The pores are expanded, fat and dead cells are removed. As a result, the facial skin is cleansed of impurities, toxins, and sebum. In addition, during the procedure a light massage occurs, the level of cellular metabolism increases.
Ultrasonic cleaning is a fairly quick procedure, only 15-20 minutes. Finally, the cosmetologist applies a mask to the face that matches the patient’s skin type. After this type of facial cleansing, home care becomes more effective: creams, face masks. Because young cells perceive their action better. In most cases, ultrasonic facial cleansing is painless and has no consequences in the form of swelling and redness, because the upper layer of the epidermis is not disturbed. However, some clients complain of pain during the procedure, especially in the nose area. If the skin is sensitive, then in the next 24 hours after cleansing, redness may be observed on the skin. Another advantage of ultrasonic skin cleansing is that pores are not expanded by steaming before the procedure. This means that this cleaning method is suitable for people with spider veins.

How does ultrasound peeling work?
The mechanism of action of an ultrasonic wave (generated by a cosmetology device) is based on the effect of high-frequency acoustic vibrations on the skin.
There is a gentle mechanical separation of dead cells of the stratum corneum and sebaceous secretion produced by the pores. The power of the ultrasonic beam is enough to provide delicate deep cleansing of the skin. The penetration depth of the ultrasonic wave generated by a special multifunctional device is 0.2 mm. Living cells are not damaged and the dermis is not injured.
Ultrasonic waves have a beneficial effect on the skin in three ways:
- Promotes mechanical cleansing of the cells of the upper epidermal layer.
- Increases skin temperature in the treatment area, providing a thermal effect.
- By stimulating physicochemical reactions, it accelerates cellular metabolic processes.
Contraindications
Despite the numerous advantages of the procedure, there are also contraindications for ultrasonic skin cleansing. This cleaning method is not suitable for people with high blood pressure, diseases of the cardiovascular system, or women in the second half of pregnancy. Also, this procedure is not performed for vitiligo, inflammatory skin diseases, gold and platinum reinforcement, and in the presence of benign formations on the skin.

We keep it clean!
Both after whitening and after professional hygienic teeth cleaning with ultrasound, tooth sensitivity increases, although in the case of ultrasound cleaning, unpleasant painful sensations do not occur as often and are not as pronounced. Therefore, in order to protect yourself from possible discomfort, you need to reconsider your usual diet and temporarily exclude hot, cold, sour, salty, and sweet dishes from the menu.
In addition, for the first week after removing soft dental deposits and removing tartar, you should stop smoking and consuming any foods and drinks that have coloring properties. The list of foods that should be excluded from the diet includes berries (blackberries, blueberries, black grapes and currants), vegetables (carrots, beets, tomatoes, pumpkin, red cabbage, etc.), drinks (black tea, coffee, chocolate , cocoa, lemonades and carbonated sweet drinks), juices with the addition of natural and artificial colors.
The specialists of our dental clinic recommend that all patients, after professional teeth cleaning, be sure to adhere to the rules of thorough oral hygiene - if possible, brush your teeth after every meal or use special hygiene devices (toothpicks, floss, etc.).
When and when not to use ultrasound
Ultrasonic facial cleansing, although it is absolutely painless, is not recommended for everyone. Before the procedure, be sure to visit a dermatologist. It will give a positive result if:
- increased oily skin,
- tendency to inflammation;
- enlarged pores;
- the presence of comedones and acne;
- clogging of pores with sebum and impurities;
- seborrhea;
- dull and uneven complexion.
Be sure to consult about the possibility of using ultrasound to clean your face. It penetrates deeply and acts not only on the epidermis, but also on the dermis and subcutaneous fatty tissue, also affecting blood vessels. The possibility of its use depends on the condition of the skin and the causes of inflammation, the formation of acne and comedones.
Preparing for gynecological cleansing
- Consultation with a gynecologist and gynecological examination.
- General blood analysis.
- Coagulogram (test for blood clotting).

Taking certain medications is also contraindicated, but if you cannot stop taking the medications, be sure to consult your doctor. Douching is prohibited. You should not eat or drink 10–12 hours before the appointed time.

Types of professional facial cleansing
Professional cleansing is based on softening the skin mainly using the “cold steaming” method using cosmetic gels.
During mechanical cleaning, contaminants are removed through open pores using special tools. It is considered more thorough and deeper than hardware, and is mainly used according to indications for oily facial skin.
Hardware cleaning is divided into ultrasonic, laser, vacuum, galvanic, etc. It is performed using special equipment, it is more gentle on the skin (compared to mechanical cleaning), it is easily tolerated, and there is no risk of infection.
Possible complications after gynecological cleansing
- Perforation of the uterus is a perforating injury. May cause excessive bleeding, peritonitis and, as a result, loss of reproductive function.
- Inflammation of the uterus. Treated with antibiotics.
- Accumulation of postoperative discharge in the uterus - hematometra. Occurs in case of spasm after the procedure. If help is not provided in time, an infection may develop. This condition is treated with antispasmodics.
- Cervical tear. It may occur if the operation was performed during a period of inflammation, and the organ became loose.
- Excessive brushing may damage the mucous membrane. If the germ layer is damaged, the shell is not restored.
As a rule, complications are extremely rare. But for personal peace of mind, you need to contact experienced, certified specialists at the CELT clinic.
