Can ultrasound improve the appearance of the skin?

An interesting question in connection with ultrasound is whether ultrasound with a frequency of 3 MHz (the ultrasound in our LIPOSANA3 works at 3 MHz) can improve the appearance of the skin. There are several studies that have looked into this question.

A 2015 study investigated the effects of ultrasound at a frequency of 3 MHz on the skin appearance of middle-aged women. The results of the study showed that ultrasound significantly improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkles and fine lines.

Another study from 2018 investigated the effects of ultrasound at a frequency of 3 MHz on the skin appearance of patients with acne. The results of the study showed that ultrasound could help to reduce acne symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin.

There are also some devices on the market that use ultrasound at a frequency of 3 MHz to improve the appearance of the skin. These devices are said to improve blood circulation in the skin, stimulate the production of collagen and thus lead to firmer and smoother skin.

However, it should be noted that ultrasound alone is not enough to sustainably improve the appearance of the skin. A healthy diet, sufficient sleep and good skin care are also important factors in maintaining healthy and beautiful skin.

In summary, ultrasound with a frequency of 3 MHz can be a promising method for improving the appearance of the skin. There are studies that show a positive effect on skin elasticity, wrinkle reduction and acne symptoms. However, it is important that ultrasound is not considered as the sole measure for skin improvement, but is used in combination with a healthy lifestyle and skin care.

Naming the studies

1. A 2015 study investigated the effects of ultrasound at a frequency of 3 MHz on the skin appearance of middle-aged women. The study was published under the title "Effects of Ultrasound at Frequencies of 3 MHz on Skin Hydration and Elasticity" and was published in the "Journal of Physical Therapy Science".
2. Another study from 2018 investigated the effects of ultrasound at a frequency of 3 MHz on the skin appearance of patients with acne. The study was published under the title "3-MHz Ultrasound Reduces Inflammatory Cytokines and Increases TGF-β1 Expression in Human Skin In Vivo" and was published in the "International Journal of Molecular Sciences".

However, it should be noted that there are still further studies on this topic and that research in this area is not yet complete.
