Who an ultrasonic cleansing facial suits
An ultrasonic cleanse is for times when you would like your skin cleansed thoroughly without overworking it: for sensitive and thin skin, skin with visible capillaries, and drier, more mature skin. For oily and combination skin, it helps to clear excess oil and small blackheads.
Ultrasound does not harm living skin cells, so this cleanse can be done all year round, even in summer.
How it differs from a deep cleanse
In a deep-cleansing facial, the pores are cleared by hand, so even the more deeply embedded blackheads are removed. An ultrasonic cleanse works differently: a thin metal spatula vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency and, as it glides over the damp skin, loosens what is inside the pores and lifts away dead surface cells and excess oil. There is no need to squeeze, so the treatment is gentler.
If the pores are deeply congested in some areas and the skin is sensitive in others, you can choose a combined cleansing facial, which brings the two methods together.
How the treatment works
- We remove make-up and impurities, and tone the skin.
- We gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead cells.
- We give the skin a detox: we apply a detoxifying (cleansing) mask that softens what is inside the pores.
- We cleanse the skin with ultrasound – carefully, area by area.
- We finish with a mask chosen for what your skin needs.
At the end of the treatment, we tell you what we noticed and advise you on how to care for your skin at home.
If you are pregnant, taking any medication or have a skin condition, please tell us before the treatment – together we will decide whether it is right for you.
Three programmes
Ultrasonic cleanse – all the steps described above.
Ultrasonic cleanse with sonophoresis – after the cleanse, we infuse active ingredients into the skin with ultrasound. Freshly cleansed skin takes them in better, so this programme suits dry, tired or more mature skin that needs more hydration and nourishment. You can read more about the method on the sonophoresis page.
Ultrasonic cleanse with microdermabrasion and a rejuvenating mask – after the cleanse, we also gently resurface the skin with crystal microdermabrasion, and to finish, we choose a rejuvenating mask for your skin.
Aftercare
If you can, let your skin rest without make-up for the first day, and avoid saunas. Sun protection is needed every day, not only after treatments.
How often to repeat the cleanse depends on your skin type and its condition – we will advise after your first treatment.
