Ultrasonic Facial

What is an ultrasonic facial?

An ultrasonic facial uses low-frequency sound waves to stimulate collagen and elastin production and improve your skin’s appearance. The Integrated Dermatology of Brookline-Andover staff uses the latest advances in ultrasound technology to perfect your skin without surgery, needles, excisions, or downtime.

What are the benefits of ultrasonic facials?

Some of the benefits associated with ultrasonic facials at Integrated Dermatology of Brookline-Andover include:

• Fewer lines
• Less skin wrinkling
• Reduced acne and scarring
• Younger-looking skin
• Fewer skin imperfections
• Enhanced collagen production
• Tighter, smoother skin
• Reduced skin sagging

Ultrasonic facials are simple procedures that can produce dramatic anti-aging results. They are fast and painless, and safe for all skin colors and types. 

Is an ultrasonic facial right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for an ultrasonic facial, your dermatologist reviews your medical history and examines your skin. They discuss your desired outcome to develop a personalized anti-aging regimen that matches your personalized needs.

What should I expect during an ultrasonic facial?

During an ultrasonic facial, you relax in a comfortable chair. Your specialist applies a handheld device to your skin to emit ultrasound energy into targeted skin layers without damaging surrounding tissues. Each treatment often lasts less than an hour, making it an excellent lunchtime procedure.

What happens after the procedure?

After an ultrasonic facial, there’s no downtime, so you can resume your routine immediately. However, expect redness and swelling at the treatment site that soon subsides. Over time you will experience younger-looking, vibrant skin with fewer imperfections as collagen and elastin production increase. 

Protect your skin from the sun before and after each treatment. Your dermatologist often recommends a series of ultrasonic facials, plus periodic maintenance treatments, to help you achieve the best outcome. 

They may suggest you undergo other cosmetic treatments in addition to ultrasonic facials to achieve younger-looking skin that lasts long term. Examples include chemical peels, Fraxel® laser treatment, Botox®, dermal fillers, microneedling, and IPL photofacials.
