Ultrasonic facial cleansing is one of the ways to do peeling, which does not involve the use of cosmetic and chemical compounds. This procedure is carried out using special ultrasound devices , affecting the skin with a certain frequency. There are many types of similar devices that are used both at a professional level and for facial cleansing at home.
Vacuum facial cleansing is a hardware method of superficial skin cleansing using special attachments that create a vacuum with negative pressure.
Algorithm for working with the device:
- Pre-cleanse your face, including makeup, using foam or milk for washing;
- Wipe your face with toner;
- Distribute contact gel, serum or other cosmetic product (depending on the purpose) over your face;
- Turn on the device, then the desired mode (to do this, press the button repeatedly);
- Bring the paddle of the device to your face, lightly pressing it against the skin. If for peeling - at an angle of 45°, if for massage or phonophoresis - with the flat side;
- Gently and carefully move the device along the massage lines of the face (from the periphery to the center);
- In case of peeling, periodically clean the spatula with a cotton pad. In the case of massage and phonophoresis, work until the cosmetic product is completely absorbed;
- The standard operating time of the device is 10 minutes, so after 10 minutes it automatically turns off. If you want to complete the procedure earlier, simply hold the button for 1 second;
- Complete the procedure by applying the required mask to your face.
Helpful Tips:
- While using the device, the skin should always be moist so as not to pull the skin;
- Do deep cleansing of the skin no more than 5 times a week (about 3 minutes at a time);
- It is enough to do lifting and phonophoresis 3-5 times a week (about 3-5 minutes at a time);
- When using any mode, always try to slide along the massage lines of the face (move from the jaw line to the hairline, while directing movements from the center of the face to the sides);
- The manufacturer of the device recommends cleaning your face according to the suggested scheme below (pay attention to the directions of the arrows). Start with smooth horizontal movements from the neck up to the face, then work all areas of the face in this way. After this, change the direction of movement of the spatula to work the face with vertical movements from the bottom up (start from the neck area and slide to the hairline). For the tricky area along the nostrils, use the curved edge of the spatula blade;
- The skin around the eyes is very soft and delicate, so choose the softest mode for it.
Which device is better to choose for depilation?
Excessive hair on a woman's body does not add beauty. Most girls try to get rid of it. Sugaring, waxing, and depilatories help cope with the problem only for a short period of time. Experts suggest using laser devices.

Features and Functions
Each device is designed to clean any type of face, regardless of the severity of wrinkles, acne and age spots. If this or that formation in the form of acne and wrinkles appears on the skin, you need to use ultrasonic cleaning devices. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that each variety has a beneficial effect on the dermis and eliminates visible defects, giving the face aesthetics and natural radiance.
The medium-power device has three functions.
- Ultrasonic peeling. Removal of dead layer, dirt, excess secretion of the sebaceous glands. During
- Ultrasound cleaning uses sound waves to heat the gel and separate the top layer of skin. The procedure gently cleanses the dermis without causing microdamage and increases oxygen saturation.
- Ultrasound massage. This massage affects the cellular level of the skin. As a result, collagen production is stimulated, the structure of skin cells is strengthened, and metabolic processes are improved. Phonophoresis. This procedure means the introduction of the necessary cosmetics into the deep layers of the epidermis. Such “reserves” of nutritional components in the layers of the dermis nourish, moisturize and transform the skin for a long time.
What to look for when choosing?
To choose a high-quality and effective device for facial cleansing, you need to know what parameters you should pay attention to when choosing. Let's consider the most necessary characteristics:
Size and weight. The smaller and lighter the device, the more convenient it will be to use, carry and use anywhere. If you choose large dimensions that do not fit into your hands, it will be extremely difficult to carry out the procedure. Power. The effectiveness of the procedure depends on the power indicators. For home manipulations, the best option would be a power of 0.36 - 2 W/cm2. If the device has an additional power control function, it will be much easier to deal with them. Manufacturer. Devices must be chosen only from well-known and modern manufacturers who provide a full guarantee for the product, and are also characterized by optimal prices for a good device. Functions. If you have the financial opportunity, you should give preference to a multifunctional device that has the functions of phonophoresis, cleaning, peeling, skin ionization and other necessary functions. With the help of such functions, you can carry out a number of cosmetic procedures at home that will significantly improve the condition of your skin. Price. It is best to give preference to options with an average cost, since a device for home use will be in demand no more than once a month. To do this, you don’t need to buy the most expensive model, but you shouldn’t buy too cheap devices either. Preference should be given to devices with an average cost that will last a long time when used once a month. Environmental safety and appearance
When buying a product, you should pay attention to the assembly and quality of the material. The simpler the design, the better the device and the quality of its functions.
Many deceive buyers through bright and affecting designs, not meeting expectations.
These characteristics will allow you to choose a truly high-quality and modern device that will last for many years and will delight you with maximum functions and results after the procedure.
How to use a Uno spoon
The device is indicated for independent use if a small area of skin requires cleaning and it is easily accessible (for example, the face). Still, before using Uno, you should consult with a cosmetologist or dermatologist: your rashes may require treatment rather than mechanical squeezing.
So what to do:
- We cleanse the facial skin as thoroughly as possible of decorative cosmetics and other contaminants; you can use a scrub or peel;
- Steam your face for at least 20 minutes with your favorite herbal decoction or one suitable for your skin problem. Chamomile, nettle, coltsfoot, sage, etc. are well suited for cleansing and opening pores;
- We blot the condensation on the skin with a dry towel or paper napkins;
- Wipe the face and spoon of Uno with antibacterial lotion;
- We start the procedure with a slotted spoon - we get rid of fatty secretions, dead cells, and dirt. Light massage movements treat the T-zone, cheeks and forehead, preventing pustules, white and blackheads;
- Using another tip - a spoon with one hole - we eliminate larger pimples. To do this, place the inflammation in the center of the spoon, press slightly to pull out the rod and release the pus;
- The loop attachment is effective for the prevalence of blackheads and various types of acne on the face. We proceed in the same way: the affected area of the skin must be placed in the center of the loop, apply a little pressure and “drag” the spoon to the side to squeeze out the contents of the pore.
The Vidal needle tip is used for closed pores: they are quickly opened with a sharp end and the contents are removed - pus or excess sebum.
Cosmetologists categorically do not recommend using the Uno spoon for demodicosis, herpes, boils, carbuncles, pyoderma and a number of other skin diseases. With such problems, be sure to consult a dermatologist.
Course duration
Doctors do not recommend mechanical cleaning with a Uno spoon more than once every four weeks.
In addition, you need to remember the importance of an integrated approach to the treatment of acne and pimples - at home or in the salon
Often, periodic or constant acne is not a skin problem. As a rule, the reasons lie in hormonal changes, poor diet, not entirely healthy lifestyle, bad habits, inappropriate decorative and even caring cosmetics. It is worth going through all the relevant doctors to rule out diseases of organs and systems that affect the skin.
What to do after cleaning with a Uno spoon
Due to the slight mechanical impact and opening of clogged pores and pimples, minor redness is possible. However, the main thing that distinguishes cleaning with a spoon from cleaning with your hands is that in the first case there are no scars or other unpleasant marks left on the skin.
In order not to at least spoil the result of the procedure, and at maximum to avoid introducing an infection into “bare” pores and open pimples, follow the following instructions:
- For the first two days, do not use decorative cosmetics;
- Do not touch your face with your hands until the redness goes away completely;
- In the morning and evening, cleanse the skin with the mildest products;
- Use sunscreen outside.
If any consequences do appear, it is better not to wait, and especially not to self-medicate: go to a cosmetologist.
Drybrushing is a facial massage with a dry brush: a combination of peeling and lymphatic drainage.
