Ultrasound has been used in physiotherapy for many years. Recently, ultrasound has begun to be actively used in aesthetic medicine, because its impact turned out to be diverse and effective.
In physiotherapy, high-frequency sound vibrations of low intensity are used. Penetrating into tissues, they have an effect similar to vibration massage, activate biochemical processes and diffusion at the cellular level.
Ultrasound treatment gives a good anti-inflammatory effect and causes resorption of scars and infiltrates. In connective tissue, under the influence of ultrasound, collagen production decreases and elastin formation increases, which is successfully used for cosmetic purposes.
In nervous tissue, ultrasound reduces the sensitivity of nerve endings (pain-relieving effect) and stimulates the restoration of damaged nerve fibers.
Ultrasound treatment is contraindicated for heart rhythm disturbances, severe central nervous system disorders, cancer, pregnancy, bleeding tendency, active tuberculosis, fever. The impact is not carried out in the area of the brain, large vessels, protruding bone structures, thrombophlebitis.
