Phonophoresis Treatment (ENG)
Phonophoresis uses ultrasound waves to enhance the penetration of topical medications and vitamins such as vitamin A, C ,E or transmine through the skin.
What is Phono (Phonophoresis) treatment?
Phonophoresis is a technique that pushes medication through skin cells more quickly and in greater amounts than normal cream or topical application. It uses high-frequency ultrasonic waves (1 MHz) to help deliver drugs or vitamins into the skin.
Using this method allows the medication to penetrate the skin more deeply and faster than applying medicine or cream in the usual way.
Benefit of Phonophoresis
- Improvement of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation from pimples
- Hyperpigmented spots after Laser Treatment
- Freckles or age sopt
- Brighter and more radiant look
- Help sensitive skin
How does Phono (Phonophoresis) make the skin clearer?
It helps make the skin clearer by pushing different vitamins into the skin that promote a brighter complexion, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E, as well as moisturizing substances like aloe vera and various antioxidants. As a result, the skin becomes brighter, more hydrated, and softer.
In addition, ultrasonic waves create a gentle micro-massage within the skin at the cellular level, which helps increase blood circulation and lymphatic flow. This allows skin cells to receive more nutrients and enhances the removal of waste through the lymphatic system.
Therefore, the skin becomes smoother, healthier-looking, and more youthful.
How does phonophoresis help reduce acne and rashes?
Phonophoresis can help reduce acne and skin rashes by delivering medications that reduce irritation and treat acne into the skin. This allows the medication to work more effectively.
As a result, acne and rashes may heal faster, and dark spots and red marks left from acne can also gradually fade.
Treatment Procedure
- Evaluation by the dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment.
- Thorough facial cleansing.
- Application of the skin preparation usually in gel form (vitamin) at the area for phono treatment. The procedure usually takes 20 – 30 minutes per treatment.
- Wash face afterward to remove excess gel.
Advantages
-
Non-invasive
-
Painless
-
Enhances effectiveness of topical therapy
-
No needles required
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Phonophoresis is a type of skin nourishment treatment, but it cannot treat all types of skin spots or pigmentation, such as freckles or melasma, which usually require other treatments or laser devices as well.
However, people receiving the treatment can often notice that their skin looks brighter and feels smoother from the very first session.
How often can it be done?
It can be done 1–2 times per week, depending on your convenience. The treatment can also be continued regularly for as long as desired, because the skin needs ongoing nourishment and care.
Possible side effects
Side effects from phonophoresis are very rare.-
Mild skin redness or irritation-but these usually disappear on their own within about 15 minutes.
-
Rare burns if ultrasound intensity is high
-
Not recommended over infected or broken skin
