Therapeutic ultrasound is a method of stimulating skin tissues using high frequency sound waves that can penetrate up to five inches beneath the skin’s surface skin without heating the skin. The technology is the same as that is used to inspect foetus in mother’s womb. The benefits of ultrasound are well established.
Therapeutic ultrasound is typically between 800,000 and 3,000,000 hz. This sound cannot be heard by humans. The higher the frequency, lesser the depth of penetration. At 3mhz, penetration can be just 1 or 2 mm, perfect for skin care and treatment. The ultrasound waves vibrate, or move body cells and thus massage and relax them. The massaging effects of therapeutic ultrasound have three primary benefits:
- Ultrasound therapy increases blood flow in the treated area which speeds the healing process. Very little heat is generated.
- Ultrasound therapy reduces swelling and edema which are the main sources of pain.
- Ultrasound waves gently massage the muscles, tendons and/or ligaments in the treated area and enable medicines to reach deep inside. This enhances the recovery rate of damaged tissue without adding strain, and softens any scar tissue that is usually present in an injured area.
