Intelligent Ultrasonic Handheld

The Intelligent Ultrasonic Handheld is one of the most versatile and technologically advanced for home use application. Its purpose is two-fold: facial rejuvenation and therapeutic ultrasound. Facial rejuvenation shall be addressed first.

Facial Rejuvenation

Atrophy of the connective tissue in the subcutaneous layer results in loose skin and wrinkles.

With the unique high-frequency vibrations of 1 million per second, the Intelligent 1 MHz Ultrasonic Handheld helps lift and compact connective tissues.

The Intelligent Ultrasonic assists in the following ways:

* Helps promote the metabolism of collagen

* Helps strengthen muscles

* Helps provides elasticity to connective tissues

* Helps improve blood circulation

* Helps smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles

* Helps firm and lift loose, sagging skin

Measures water content of skin's corneous layer

* Helps relieve pain

* Helps soreness and stiffness in muscles

* Helps reduce swelling and inflammation

* Increases blood flow, helps improve circulation, and assists in healing

Clear, precise, easy to follow instructions are included when the handhelds are purchased and used individually as well as when they are purchased and used together.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic Ultrasound is a treatment method utilizing sound waves to treat pain, inflammation and muscle spasm. Ultrasound therapy has been used by physical therapists and chiropractors since the 1940s. Therapeutic Ultrasound is a method of stimulating tissue beneath the skin's surface using sound waves.  

The waves are generated by a piezoelectric effect caused by the vibration of crystals within the head of the wand. Sound waves are pulsed at the area causing your pain at millions of times per second. These waves stimulate your joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and other tissues providing targeted pain relief without drugs or surgery

Ultrasound waves do the following:

Add Heat: The sound waves penetrate the skin and surface layers and cause the soft tissue to vibrate, producing gentle healing vibrations within the affected area that soothe inflammation and relieve pain.

Increase Blood Flow and Aids in Healing: Ultrasound waves also cause tissues to relax and increase blood flow. Increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, removes cell waste and aids healing.

Reduce swelling and inflammation: This in turn greatly reduces the pain.

Enhances Absorption of Analgesics and Anti-inflammatory Agents: Ultrasound can also be used to evoke phonophoresis. This is a non-invasive way of enhancing the absorption of analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents to tissues below the skin using ultrasonic waves.

Decreases Trigger Point Pain: Ultrasound works by decreasing the pain and sensitivity associated with muscular trigger points. Studies have demonstrated trigger points to be important causes of headache, back ache and all types of muscular and soft tissue "overuse" syndromes.

Ultrasound therapy has been shown to cause increases in tissue relaxation, local blood flow, and scar tissue breakdown. The effect of the increase in local blood flow can be used to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation

Results from Therapeutic Ultrasound:

You should notice pain relief immediately after you begin treatment. If you use ultrasound consistently, your pain should gradually lessen over a 2-3 week period. After you've relieved your pain, you should continue to treat yourself once or twice a week to ensure that your pain does not return.

Any Side Effects?

No adverse effects with ultrasound therapy have ever been documented. Ultrasound has been used in the medical community for more than 60 years. Ultrasound therapy, unlike painkillers or other drug treatments, has not been shown to interact with systemic medications or to be habit-forming.

People with pacemakers and other electronic implants should NOT use ultrasound.

Ultrasound should not be performed directly over replacement joints, metal implants or on the skull or throat.
