A gentler alternative to microdermabrasion, the ultrasonic skin spatula uses safe, gentle, low-frequency ultrasonic waves of up to 28,000 cycles per second.  Ultrasonic cavitation alters the structure of the lipid by-layer of the stratum corneum, breaking down the fats and oils, flushing them to the surface for removal and eradicating dead skin cells.
Deep-cleaning and exfoliation procedures can be done on all skin types without causing redness or irritation, even on sensitive or mature skin, acne or rosacea.  Pore size decreases and bacteria levels are reduced.

With the ultrasonic skin spatuala in deep-penetrating position, it promotes penetration of skin serums into the lower layer of the dermis, enabling more effective treatments.  The process creates reversible micro channels (about 25-125 microns, which is smaller than the width of a strand of hair) through which topical nutrients can be delivered.  At the same time, there is a temporary decrease in the skin's pH, increasing the permeability of skin cells, effectively allowing the penetration of active ingredients into the epidermis.  The overall effect of Ultrasound energy is to enhance the penetration of the topical cosmeceuticals while exciting their molecular compositions to drastically augment their therapeutic potency.

By simultaneously micro-massaging skin tissues and producing local heat, the spatula facilitates circulation, nourishment and cellular renewal. The thermal effects of ultrasound increases metabolism of fibroblasts and other connective tissue cells resulting in increasing the production of collagen and elastin.  Stimulation of blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients for healing.  With increase in blood flow there is an increase in lymph flow which aids in removing toxins and waste products.  With regular treatments, fine lines and wrinkles diminish, there is a noticeable softening of scar tissue, an increase in superficial toning, increased elasticity and a youthful glow returns to the complexion.
