The use of ultrasound leads to an increase in the extensibility of collagen fibers, so wounds heal faster and scar formation is controlled. It is an effective and completely safe form of adjunctive therapy in both rehabilitation and aesthetic medicine.
Experience the beneficial power of ultrasound
Ultrasound is used in many fields of medicine - from physiotherapy to plastic surgery to cosmetology. In our clinic, this treatment is part of a therapy that promotes healing of surgical wounds, tissue regeneration and scar reduction.
Thanks to its precise action on the deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, ultrasound accelerates cell renewal and improves skin elasticity.
The treatment is completely painless and non-invasive, and its effects can be felt after just a few sessions.
What does the ultrasound treatment look like?
The treatment uses mechanical longitudinal waves of 1 MHz and 3 MHz - inaudible to humans, but effective in penetrating deeper skin structures.
A conductive gel is applied to the surface of the skin to allow proper transmission of the ultrasound waves. The therapist moves a special ultrasound head over the skin in smooth, circular motions.
Under the influence of vibration, there is a micromassage of tissues, which produces mechanical, thermal and physicochemical effects.
The result is:
- improving microcirculation,
- Acceleration of intercellular diffusion,
- stimulation of regenerative processes,
- Relieving inflammation and muscle tension.
The entire procedure takes between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the area and indications.
Effects of ultrasound therapy
- Accelerated healing of wounds and scars,
- Increase the elasticity and tone of the skin,
- Relieving pain and inflammation,
- Improving blood circulation and tissue nutrition,
- Reduction of lymphedema,
- Relaxing tense muscles.
The treatment has a comprehensive effect - both regenerative and preventive, improving the overall condition of the tissues.
Indications for ultrasound treatment
Ultrasound therapy is recommended for:
- Post-surgical and post-traumatic scars,
- soft tissue inflammation,
- Degenerative diseases of the joints and spine,
- Rheumatism and chronic muscle pain,
- Lymphedema and post-traumatic edema,
- neuralgia and pain complaints,
- Muscle tension and limited joint mobility.
Ultrasound is also often used as a treatment to promote healing after plastic surgery, such as liposuction, abdominoplasty and facelift.
Contraindications
The procedure should not be performed in the case of:
- pregnancy,
- cancer and cancer-related diseases,
- acute inflammatory conditions,
- Fever and general infections,
- blood clotting disorders,
- pacemaker or electronic implants,
- Deep vein thrombosis,
- skin damage at the treatment site,
- Osteoporosis at an advanced stage,
- Nervous system diseases with sensory disorders.
Each treatment should be preceded by a consultation with a specialist who will select the parameters of ultrasound to suit the individual needs of the patient.
