Daily exposure to the sun, environmental pollutants, stress and ageing all take their toll on the skin. Assisting skin's renewal process with a daily skin care regime combined with regular treatments is an essential part of skin maintenance. Microdermabrasion can assist with this process, delivering healthy, radiant looking skin.A microplus+ medi-facial is more than a facial. The treatment combines the benefits of clinical grade microdermabrasion and sonophoresis for maximum skin correcting results.The asap microplus+ is a state-of-the-art machine, designed and built in Australia, that combines microdermabrasion and sonophoresis.Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, safe and gentle procedure that deeply exfoliates and polishes the skin to stimulate new cell growth and the renewal of collagen. Using a gentle vacuuming system and diamond tips, microdermabrasion removes dull, dead skin cells and unclogs pores. It is a non-invasive procedure that can be used to treat a number of skin concerns with no downtime.Sonophoresis is a relaxing, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasonic (soundwave) technology.

The main function of the skin is to act as a barrier. Keep the bad stuff out and keep the good stuff in. Sometimes eating the right nutrients is just not enough, as often the skin is the last organ to receive the benefits and the first to show any sign of imbalance. And then there are the hormones that can cause havoc on the skin no matter how “good” you’ve been (well that is a whole other essay!). Sometimes we need to supplement the skin from the outside in.

But if the skin is a barrier how do we get these supplements into those deeper layers so they can do their work - well that is where Sonophoresis Infusion comes in!

Sonophoresis uses sound waves (ultrasound) to penetrate treatment serums into the deeper layers of the skin where they can be most beneficial. It is non-intrusive and safe for almost anyone. Basically it creates a temporary break in the skin's lipid bi-layers allowing active nutrients to fill little pockets between the skin cells. The sound waves then move the active nutrients down into the deeper skin layers. Sonophoresis can increase the skin's permeability by up to 800%. Magic!!

Why should I have sonophoresis?

Sonophoresis is a great compliment to any facial treatment and can be tailor made to combat any skin concern depending of the active serums that are used with it. In a nutshell, sonophoresis will greatly increase the therapeutic benefits of whichever serum is used. This could be for concerns such as aging, pigmentation, acne or redness.

What does the treatment feel like?

A smooth metal wand is used to administer sonophoresis to the skin. There is a slight humming sound and sometimes a gentle vibrating sensation. The wand actually feels like a therapeutic facial massage as it is slowly moved over all of the face and neck. Particular focus is taken on the areas of concern such as around the eyes mouth & mouth, forehead or breakouts. The skin can flush slightly from the treatment but settles usually within an hour.

If you would like to have a sonophoresis treatment it is available in our ultimate SUPER TRIO FACIAL and DYNAMIC DUO FACIALS, also all the NUTRA-ESSENCE "SERIOUS SKIN FOOD" FACIALS.

What is a Sonophoresis facial?

The skin is very effective at providing a barrier from external compounds, mainly through lipids (oils) between skin cells. These lipids work so well that in many cases only a fraction of skin care ingredients we apply ever enter the skin. Sonophoresis work by temporarily disrupting the lipid barrier using ultrasound vibrations providing intense transdermal delivery, about a thousand times more effective than a hand massage. This allows products and vitamins selected to suit your skin condition to be pushed into the dermis (deeper layers of the skin) where they are more effective in treating acne, pigmentation, ageing and improving the skin’s overall appearance.

Sonophoresis is the best known method when used in conjunction with chemical peels, to accelerate the treatment of stubborn deep pigmentation. The application and penetration of vitamins assists in lightening abnormal skin pigmentation and helps plump the dermal layer with new collagen which fills out and tightens fine lines and wrinkles and firms the skin. Sonophoresis can also be used to remove oils and trapped grime in the skin resulting in a reduced count of acne causing bacteria and an overall cleanliness and clarity of the skin.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Sonophoresis Delivery System uses ultrasound technology – or low frequency ‘sonophoresis’ to achieve a penetration rate that far exceeds what can be achieved by other penetration enhancers. Low frequency sonophoresis (29 KHz) disrupts the lipid barrier through ultrasound vibrations momentarily creating little spaces in the skin allowing greater penetration of applied products containing active key ingredients.

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
The frequency of 20 KHz is just above the top of the range of hearing. Occasionally a soft high-pitched sound can be experienced during the treatment. The physical sensation felt while undergoing a Sonophoresis Skin Workout is one of warmth.
