What is an Ultrasonic Collagen Boost Facial?

Ultrasound facial therapy is a nourishing, anti-ageing, microdermabrasion treatment. It can be added onto any of our facials as an additional step. 

The Ultrasonic Collagen-Boost Facial at Contour Clinics uses this technology as its focus, utilising this modality to the fullest for its ability to stimulate and rejuvenate the skin’s tissue. 

Instead of physical dermabrasion, this type of facial technology uses ultrasound waves to loosen and remove dead skin cells, helping to increase turnover, renewal, and therefore restore natural vibrancy and improve texture, tone and clarity. 

The process doesn’t use physically abrasive crystals or chemicals, which makes it an excellent choice for sensitive, sun-damaged, and acne-prone skins. 

This facial also incorporates an oxygenation mask treatment. The use of oxygen in skin care is well known for its healing properties and anti-bacterial benefits. This direct boost of oxygen delivered straight to your skin serves to soften, smooth and sanitise the skin’s surface. 

Benefits of Ultrasonic Collagen Boost Facial

Ultrasonic facial therapy promotes cellular renewal and repair, tones facial muscles, increases blood circulation, encourages lymphatic drainage, combats puffiness and swelling and optimises the penetration of skincare products. 

The secret of its success is that with its application both water-soluble and fat-soluble active substances can easily enter the skin. Applying the method of ultrasound, the metabolic processes of the skin intensify, the nutrient and oxygen supply of the cells increase. 

Thanks to the positive effect on the connective tissues’ fibres, the skin’s laxity is improved, leading to tighter, more youthfully elastic skin. 

The heat generated during ultrasonic treatment increases blood flow, nutrient and oxygen supply to cells. 

The application of ultrasonic frequency is commonly used to increase cellular turnover, plump up and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. 

It is advantageous to tighten sagging skin, relieve puffy eyes, reduce the appearance of cellulite, improve acne, tighten enlarged pores, fade dark eye circles, freckles, and old age spots and even repair scar damage. 

The process is safe, painless, and gentle, and it can also be suitable by sensitive skin types such as those with Rosacea. 

Results are gradual and can be built with repeated treatments, and these results can vary by individual and skin type. 

Ultrasonic treatment can produce an immediate and temporary firming effect, and with regularly continued treatments, can provide more cumulative long-term, lasting results. 

Ideal Candidates for Ultrasonic Collagen Boost Facial

An ultrasonic facial treatment is ideal for male and female patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity, who want to minimise the earlier signs of ageing. 

If your skin is entering the earlier stages of sagging, such as starting to lose elasticity, or beginning to look and feel less firm, then you could benefit from this type of facial treatment. 

Collagen is a protein naturally found within the skin. After the age of 30, collagen production starts to diminish dramatically; which is why skin starts to lose tone and elasticity. Without collagen, the skin starts to sag slightly. 

If you are aged between 30 and 50, you are likely a great candidate for the Ultrasonic Collagen-Boost Facial, as you will have noticed the effects of this naturally occurring collagen depletion and will benefit from giving your collagen production a boost. 

A facial that uses ultrasound treatment effectively stimulates the production of fresh collagen; a process called neo-collagenesis. This increase in collagen results in skin that is smoother, tighter and more toned, which can also achieve a subtle lifting effect. 

It’s important to note that patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not recommended to have this treatment, and it’s best to wait until after this period. However, your dermal therapist can recommend a safe and suitable facial treatment for you during this time, to keep up with your skin goals. 

A thorough assessment of your skin by a professional dermal therapist is the best way to determine your suitability for any skin treatment. 

With a consultation appointment, we can discuss your current concerns and the desired outcome for your skin, and tailor a treatment plan to your unique requirements. 

The Ultrasonic Collagen Boost Facial at Contour Clinics

Your facial experience: What to expect  

Cleansing 

To begin, your dermal therapist will use a few drops of aromatherapy essential oil to promote a state of relaxation and signal the start of the treatment.  

The first part of your facial will be to cleanse the skin, preparing it for the next steps. Your therapist will double cleanse the skin with a medical-grade cleanser and hot towel.   

Oxygen Mask 

Your therapist will apply Société Oxygenation Cream to the entire face, neck and décolletage. Next, they will apply Société Catalyst Activator and massage this into your skin. 

To optimise the penetration of this mask and maximise its effects, this step will be performed with the use of steam therapy. 

After allowing some minutes for the two-step Oxygenation mask to work its magic, your therapist will gently remove the mask with a warm, moistened towel. 

Ultrasonic Extraction 

After the gently softening effects of the steam therapy and oxygen treatment, your skin is ready for the ultrasonic device to be applied. 

Your therapist will glide the microcurrent device on the skin, gently expelling sebaceous filament, dirt, oil and other impurities.  

Your therapist will also perform manual extractions if necessary to spot-treat larger blemishes. 

Facial Massage 

Next, your therapist will perform a mild lymphatic drainage massage designed to de-puff the skin. 

Using dermatological ice globes, they will begin on the forehead working down the face and neck. These therapeutic ice globes will also help calm any inflammation following your extraction.    

Mask and Massage 

This stage incorporates a soothing and deeply moisturising hydrojelly face mask, along with a relaxing face, neck and décolleté massage, using therapeutic oil and focusing on gently relieving tension points. 

If you prefer, you can choose to have a neck and décolleté exfoliation treatment using Cosmedix Blueberry Smoothie Peel instead of massage. 

Your therapist will select a hydrojelly mask appropriate for your skin type and concerns.  

The hydrojelly mask will be applied to the entire face, and if you are comfortable, can also be applied over the eyes and lips. 

While the mask is on, deeply hydrating your skin, your therapist will perform a relaxing neck, trapezius and décolleté massage. 

Following your massage or exfoliation, your therapist will remove the hydrojelly mask and massage oil with a hot towel. 

At this point, you may wish to boost your facial by adding on the option of LED light therapy. 

Ultrasonic Infusion 

Next, application of the luxurious and multi-active Ilumaé The Quartet peptide serum is infused into the skin by ultrasonic technology, providing a powerfully nourishing phase to the facial. 

Skincare 

Your therapist will conclude the treatment by applying skincare that’s appropriate for your unique concerns and skin type. 

Your facial treatment will be finished with the application of skincare products that your therapist finds suitable for your skin, such as hyaluronic acid serum, moisturiser and SPF.
