Sonophoresis is a technology that utilizes sound or ‘sonic’ waves to deliver active ingredients to the skin. While the technology itself has been around for a while, it’s starting to gain increasing popularity in the treatment of skin. Sonophoresis is useful in skin care as it allows for large molecules to penetrate the skin’s dermis.
Studies have shown that it may help to increase the skin’s permeability by up to 800 percent. It is often used in conjunction with intophoresis to deliver maximum results. It may be combined with chemical peels or microdermabrasion to accelerate treatment of issues including deep pigmentation. Sonophoresis is also used to remove oils that may clog pores leading to acne. The result is an increase in skin clarity.
