What is phonophoresis?

Ultraphonophoresis is a technique in which waves and preparations applied to the skin or mucous membranes simultaneously affect the body. The development and introduction of this procedure into medical practice were due to data on the ability of ultrasound to soften connective tissues, improve the penetrating ability of tissue barriers, increase the spread of molecules and enhance the effectiveness of drugs.

Ultrasound phonophoresis of the skin provides:

  • Increased metabolism and elasticity of the skin
  • Reduction of wrinkles
  • Long-term effect of medications administered during the procedure
  • Relief of inflammation on the skin
  • Activation of capillaries

The technique of ultrasound exposure to the skin does not cause pain and is absolutely harmless. Phonophoresis can be used at any stage of life. The ultrasound procedure has no side effects and can be used in combination with other cosmetic techniques.

  • Cancerous tumors
  • Benign tumors with the risk of becoming cancerous
  • Acute infectious diseases
  • Paralysis, convulsions, high temperature

Types of ultraphonophoresis

Depending on the specific problem, the specialist selects the optimal method of ultraphonophoresis:
Type Ultrasound frequency Penetration depth Application Purpose
High-frequency 3000 kHz up to 3 cm After facial surgeries (blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty) Tissue restoration
Mid-frequency 800 kHz 4-6 cm Rehabilitation after surgeries, treatment of scars Destruction of fat deposits
Low-frequency 22 kHz 8-10 cm Reduction of inflammatory processes in the deep layers of the skin Reduction of inflammation
The frequency of the waves plays a key role in phonophoresis: the lower it is, the more medicine can penetrate the body. It is also important how well the tissues can absorb ultrasound, which depends on their acoustic properties. For example, skin and fatty tissue conduct ultrasound best, which allows the medicine to reach the desired places more effectively. The price of the phonophoresis procedure in Moscow is low, and no preparation or referral from a doctor is required. Choose a convenient time for you on the website and book an appointment with a doctor right now.

General information about the procedure

Stages of ultraphonophoresis

No special preparation is required before the ultrasound procedure. The procedure is divided into the following stages: cleaning the area of ​​action, if the procedure concerns the skin of the face; exfoliation and steaming for soft skin; toning to restore the acid-base balance of the skin; conducting a session using active agents; removing residues of agents from the skin with a napkin or rubbing them in by massage; applying a moisturizing or nourishing cream. The break between ultrasound sessions is from 5 to 7 days. It is not recommended to go outside immediately after the procedure, since the skin becomes especially sensitive to sunlight - you should wait 20 to 30 minutes.

Preparations for phonophoresis

Ultrasound treatment destroys, makes inactive or modifies the properties of such drugs as:

  • Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
  • B vitamins
  • Caffeine
  • Novocaine (local anesthetic)

It is known that ultrasound more intensively destroys substances with a high molecular weight and high biological activity. Many protein drugs belong to high-molecular compounds, the use of which in phonophoresis requires careful study.

Application of ultraphonophoresis in cosmetology

In addition to sodium hyaluronate, gels enriched with tocopherol (vitamin E), royal jelly, as well as extracts of various therapeutic herbs, collagen, chitosan, and placenta extract are used during therapy.

When the patient's main problem is scars, mixtures with trypsin and lidase are used. To treat acne and excess sebum secretion, gels containing aloe vera, chamomile extract, zinc, and sulfur are used, which contribute to an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect and also help dry the skin.

Treatment of joints using phonophoresis

Therapeutic effects in the treatment of joints with phonophoresis:

  • Expansion of blood vessels that feed the synovial membrane
  • Increased drainage of venous blood and lymph
  • Reduction of inflammation and swelling in the tissues around the joint, reduction of pain
  • Stimulation of the production of synovial fluid that protects cartilage from wear

During the procedure, the drugs are concentrated in the tissues, creating a drug depot, which ensures long-term preservation of the therapeutic effect of phonophoresis. Find out the price of the joint phonophoresis procedure and other services on the clinic's website or by phone.

Reviews

I want to tell you about a man who, without whom I don't think of leaving my face and body, about my incredible cosmetologist, Anako Olga Yurievne, who I've been going to for over eight years and has never been willing to mark another specialist. That's when a cosmetologist really hears a client. It was important for me to receive quality care without extra injections, and Olga Yurievna has set up a shiny program, she notices that others won't even notice, always takes into account the smallest individual characteristics. It's a combination of sensitivity and skill that's very rare. She doesn't work shabby, she sees personality. The result of our joint work is my imaginary and similar skin. They say a cosmetologist like the love of life finds once and for all. So, Olga Yurievna is exactly what it is.

By making a plan for our work, Olga Yurievna eliminated all my problems with a face like a sculptor, created me perfectly clear, sculpted, flat nose, lobe and chin. Helped to get rid of the wrinkles around the eyes of the century and the blues under the eyes. It successfully solves the problems where other cosmetologists just unleash their hands. I and my family trust only this doctor, very much appreciate her individual approach, sensitivity, good and sincere attitude towards patients and her work!
