What is medical ultrasound?
Ultrasound refers to sound waves that are inaudible to the human ear because they have a frequency of more than 20,000 vibrations per second (20 kHz). In medicine, it is used for two main applications:
- Diagnostic ultrasound, for example during pregnancy or organ examinations (imaging procedures)
- Therapeutic ultrasound, in which targeted sound impulses are used to trigger healing or activating processes in the body
Two main forms are relevant:
- Continuous ultrasound: Sends energy evenly into the tissue.
- Pulsed ultrasound: works in short pulses with pauses in between - this allows for more targeted and gentle effects.
Frequency-modulated pulsed ultrasound: the next stage of development
With frequency-modulated pulsed ultrasound (pFMUS), the frequency of the sound pulses is varied during treatment. This allows different tissue depths to be reached and certain cell processes to be addressed particularly effectively.
The advantage:
- Gentle treatment with a targeted effect
- Low intensity, but higher biological efficiency
- Less heat development, therefore gentler on tissue
It has been scientifically shown that pFMUS stimulates anti-inflammatory processes and can promote tissue healing more effectively than conventional methods (e.g. Zhou et al., 2023).
How does ultrasound affect the body?
Ultrasound has two basic modes of action:
1. thermal (through heating):
- The tissue is slightly warmed, which stimulates blood circulation.
- This heat improves cell metabolism and promotes healing processes.
2. mechanical (through micro-movements):
- Microvibrations stimulate cell membranes.
- So-called cavitation effects (tiny gas bubbles) occur, which affect cell structures in intensive applications.
- Signaling cascades within the cells are activated (e.g. PI3K/Akt, ERK), which leads to increased cell division, regeneration and inhibition of inflammation.
These effects are scientifically documented and form the basis of modern ultrasound therapies.
Areas of application: From rehab to beauty
In orthopaedics & rehabilitation:
- Treatment of muscle injuries or tendon irritation (tendinopathies)
- Use for bone fractures to accelerate healing
- Support for osteoporosis to improve bone preservation
The aim is to accelerate healing processes , alleviate pain and restore mobility.
In cosmetics and aesthetic dermatology:
- Fat tissue reduction in problem areas (e.g. stomach, thighs)
- Skin tightening and lifting effects through targeted stimulation of the deep layers of the skin (SMAS)
- Scar reduction and wound healing by stimulating cell renewal
Ultrasound is therefore a real all-rounder: medically sound, but also aesthetically effective.
Liposana3: Ultrasound treatment without cell destruction
In contrast to intensive ultrasound procedures such as HIFU, in which fat cells are destroyed by heat and cavitation, Liposana3 uses a gentle approach:
- Frequency-modulated ultrasound with low intensity
- No cavitation effects - therefore no cell destruction
- The fat cells deflate through reversible membrane stretching
- Cell structures remain intact and capable of regeneration
In addition, a functional diet is recommended to regulate the metabolism and prevent fat from being stored again in the depleted cells.
The result:
- Gentle figure shaping without side effects
- Long-term results through a sustainable therapeutic approach
How does ultrasound affect different types of tissue?
Skin:
- Ultrasound stimulates collagen formation.
- The skin structure improves, wrinkles are reduced and the skin appears firmer.
Fatty tissue:
- Fat cells are stimulated to empty without being destroyed.
- The treatment is therefore low-risk and natural.
Musculature:
- Injured muscle structures regenerate faster.
- Cell processes for muscle formation and energy metabolism are promoted.
Metabolism:
- Glucose transport in muscle cells is improved.
- Mitochondria (energy power plants of the cells) work more efficiently - this also supports metabolic diseases.
Conclusion: Progress through targeted sound impulses
Ultrasound is more than just an imaging instrument. In its modern form, as with Liposana3, it becomes an integrative tool for regeneration, metabolic optimization and physical aesthetics. The focus is not on destruction, but on activation and renewal.
Liposana3 makes targeted use of this potential - precisely, regeneratively and with respect for the cell structure.
