Ultrasonic facial cleansing: how it works, does it hurt and how often

For many people a facial cleanse means squeezing, pain and a red face for several days. Ultrasonic Facial Cleansing is the other way - a gentle deep cleanse that removes impurities, dead skin cells and blackheads without aggressive impact on the skin.

How it works

Ultrasound loosens what sits in the pores using vibration instead of mechanical pressure. So there is no squeezing and no days of redness - it can be done before work. The treatment lasts 60 minutes.

Which skin it suits

It works well for blackheads, clogged pores, uneven skin tone, combination and oily skin, and when the skin simply needs a refresh. It also suits sensitive skin, because nothing is squeezed.

What you can expect - and what you cannot

Cleaner pores, fresher skin, a smoother texture and a more radiant look.

For severe acne, though, ultrasound is not enough - that is a question for a dermatologist, not a cosmetic treatment. Ultrasonic cleansing does not treat the skin, it cleans it.

How often

Once every four to six weeks is enough. More often does not make skin cleaner, only more irritated.

When to see a doctor first

Severe or inflamed acne, a rash, a wound, or a skin condition you are being treated for. Ask your dermatologist first.
