What is Sonophoresis? Sonophoresis is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasonic technology, warmth and motion energy to significantly increase the depth and rate at which active ingredients can be absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin. Sonophoresis has been shown to increase the permeability of the skin by up to 800%. How does it work? The skin’s natural waterproofing barrier can often impede the absorption of active ingredients. Sonophoresis works by relaxing this natural barrier by opening up the intracellular pathways to allow the active ingredients to be absorbed. (picture) Sonophoresis is an extremely effective treatment that significantly increases the rate of absorption of active ingredients into the skin. Sonophoresis is a stand alone treatment that can be used in conjunction with Microdermabrasion to deliver excellent results for all skin types. Sonophoresis is a treatment that can become a regular feature of any ongoing skincare regime.
acne treatment This treatment uses vitamins A, B and C to soothe, clear and heal acne, promoting clearer, smoother skin with a decrease in inflammation and redness. anti-ageing treatment This clinical grade skin treatment will help minimise the signs of ageing, reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin tone and texture, revealing a clearer, firmer looking skin. complete skin rejuvenation Using active ingredients and antioxidants, this rejuvenating skin treatment is ideal for all skin types by helping to promote cell turnover, stimulate collagen while also reducing the appearance of fine lines. super hydration facial Sonophoresis provides a non-invasive infusion of A, B & C to deeply regenerate cells to strengthen and firm the skin. asap ultimate hydration is recommended as an anti-ageing treatment and to help with pigmentation concerns. Ultimate microplus+ experience Diamond Microdermabrasion comfortably exfoliates the epidermis and polishes the skin while Sonophoresis delivers non-invasive, transdermal infusion using soundwaves to allow maximum absorption of active ingredients. This treatment uses Vitamin A, B & C to intensely nourish, regenerate and hydrate most skins.
