Phonophoresis is a common physiotherapeutic method of hardware cosmetology. It is based on a combination of effects caused by ultrasound and special cosmetic or medicinal products applied to the skin. Thanks to phonophoresis, drugs penetrate into deeper layers than with conventional application or massage .
So, phonophoresis is a method of introducing medications into the skin using ultrasound. The vibration created by ultrasound activates metabolism, blood circulation, provides lymphatic drainage, reduces swelling and manifestations of rosacea , and improves skin color.
Ultrasound increases the effectiveness of topical medications. The active substances of products (serums, gels, etc.), which penetrate into tissues during phonophoresis, accumulate in a kind of depot, allowing for a prolonged effect.
Phonophoresis copes well with small scars , starts regeneration processes, has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces swelling, restores the metabolism of adipose tissue, activates lymphatic drainage and local blood circulation. The procedure helps saturate tissues with oxygen and increase the elasticity of connective tissue by restoring collagen and elastin fibers.
