Phonophoresis

Phonophoresis is a technique based on the introduction of anti-inflammatory drugs under the influence of ultrasound.

Under the influence of the phonophoresis apparatus, cell metabolism, lymphatic drainage and blood circulation are activated. Medicinal phonophoresis provides heating, deep micromassage, oxygenation of tissues, increased elasticity of connective tissue due to the restoration of collagen and elastin fibers.

Phonophoresis affects the pH level of tissues, increases the activity of metabolism and enzymes. The ultraphonophoresis procedure is a process of introducing drugs by means of ultrasound, it is used for chronic inflammation, scar tissue, various diseases of the joints and muscles. The use of an ultraphonophoresis apparatus affects the permeability of the epidermis, vascular walls and cell membranes, which in turn allows the active components and substances to be freely introduced into the skin.

Application of phonophoresis

The use of medicinal phonophoresis improves lymph outflow and blood circulation, normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands, saturates the skin with oxygen and increases its elasticity, helps get rid of scars, cellulite and stretch marks.

The facial ultraphonophoresis procedure lasts 10-30 minutes 2-3 times a week, and the duration of the course is 13-15 procedures. During phonophoresis, special therapeutic gels or preparations are applied to the skin, which, under the influence of ultrasound, penetrate the skin with light massaging movements. According to reviews, phonophoresis refreshes the skin of the face, makes it soft and fresh.

Medicinal phonophoresis also effectively reduces the oily skin, tightens pores, softens and dissolves scars and seals, reduces the number and depth of wrinkles, bruises around the eyes and swelling, and evens out the skin's relief.

The ultraphonophoresis procedure is used for:

• Fat metabolism disorders;
• Treatment of stretch marks and scars;
• Cellulite treatment;
• Lymph outflow and blood circulation disorders;
• Acne treatment;
• Prevention and correction of wrinkles;
• Rehabilitation of the skin after surgery.

The use of ultraphonophoresis, according to reviews, increases the penetration of cosmetics, and the effect of their use becomes much more noticeable.

The use of phonophoresis, according to reviews, is especially effective in treating acne, and to achieve the best result, it is recommended to combine the phonophoresis procedure with ultrasonic cleaning. With the help of ultrasound, you can deeply clean the pores, increase skin permeability and enhance diffusion, and then inject cosmetics and drugs into the deep layers of the epidermis. Ultrasound not only deeply cleanses the skin, but also improves cell permeability, stimulates microcirculation, saturates cells with oxygen, increases the elasticity of the epidermis and tones the muscles.

Medicinal phonophoresis is an effective procedure for the treatment of first and second stage cellulite. For the procedure, you must first cleanse the skin, and then apply an anti-cellulite cream or gel. The intensity of ultrasonic exposure ranges from 0.8 to 0.9 watt / cm2. The duration of the procedure is 10-20 minutes, and in order to achieve a stable effect, it is necessary to conduct a course consisting of 10-20 procedures with a possible repeat in 2-3 months.

Contraindications to phonophoresis

The phonophoresis procedure is contraindicated in eczema, herpes, facial paralysis, acute infectious and viral diseases, malignant and benign tumors of the facial skin, neuralgia of the trigeminal and orbital nerves, persistent dilation of small vessels, cancer and systemic skin diseases.

Also, phonophoresis is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, acute thrombophlebitis, heart rhythm disturbances, coronary artery disease, diseases of the endocrine system, hypertension, after a chemical peeling procedure and during the first three months after maxillofacial operations.
