In medicine, ultrasound began to be used in the second half of the 20th century. A century and a half before this event, "scientific minds" conducted many experiments and made many discoveries about the physical properties of sound waves.

The active development and application of ultrasound in medicine began in the 50s of the last century. At the same time, ultrasound was initially used for diagnostic purposes, and later its therapeutic properties were also determined. In cosmetology, ultrasound has been used relatively recently, within the last thirty years.

Ultrasound therapy

The therapeutic effect of ultrasonic waves is due to the creation of variable acoustic pressure on the tissue, which causes vibration and changes in the position of intracellular and extracellular substances. First of all, ultrasound affects the mitochondria and lysosomal apparatus, which are responsible for redox processes, ATP synthesis and energy supply of the cell.

Types of ultrasonic exposure

High-frequency ultrasound with a frequency of 2.5-2.8 MHz is used to work with the face and correct skin problems. The depth of its penetration is on average 0.5-1 cm.
