Ultrasound is not a strange thing in the world of health. We know ultrasound for additional examinations and make a diagnosis of an illness. However, with the development of technology and current research, ultrasound can be utilized not only for health but has penetrated the world of beauty.

Actually, what is ultrasound?

Ultrasound is an imaging device that is usually used to diagnose various diseases and other health conditions. Ultrasound has the ability to create sound waves that will cause echoes when highlighted in the body. These waves will then create images that can be used to diagnose the disease.

In addition to providing images or imaging to diagnose disease, ultrasound is also used for physiotherapy. But recently ultrasound began to be applied in the world of medical beauty for antiaging therapy by stimulating the formation of new collagen in the face, neck and chest area.

How ultrasound works

Ultrasound has the mechanical ability of sound waves with a frequency of more than 20,000 Hz. In addition, ultrasound conducts waves in a longitudinal direction, so that it can enter the tissue which is expected to produce biological effects. One of the biological effects of ultrasound is that it can deliver heat. This heat effect is taken for the application of the world of beauty in stimulating the formation of new collagen which can have an effect lifting aka tight on the skin.

The importance of collagen in the skin

The word collagen itself comes from Greek, which means it is sticky or produces a stick. In our body, collagen is actually one of the proteins that make up the body. Its existence reaches approximately 30% of all proteins contained in the body, and it turns out that about 70% of our skin consists of collagen. The presence of 70% collagen in our skin makes it more elastic, supple, supple, and moist. With skin that still contains a lot of collagen, someone will look young and free of wrinkles.

With increasing age, the ability to form collagen decreases. This is what affects skin conditions in old age. Sagging, wrinkled, and sagging skin is often found in older women and men or in the world of beauty referred to as "the process aging" The essence of preventing the process aging is by stimulating the formation of new collagen with heat delivery. Because the nature of collagen is protein, if it is exposed to external pressure such as chemical compounds or heat, it will lose its tertiary structure and its secondary which is called "protein denaturation" in medicine

How can ultrasound make skin younger?

A classic example of protein denaturation can be seen in egg white. When new from eggs, egg white is transparent and liquid. However, cooking the egg white by heating makes it blurry, forming a dense mass that is related.

And this is what also happens to collagen in the dermis layer of our skin when exposed to heat stimulation from ultrasound. It becomes hardened and dense so that the epidermal skin layer on it will be attracted and tightened. Heat delivered by ultrasound reaches 60-70 ° C. Higher than stimulation using radio frequency technology that is only 38-50 ° C. The delivered ultrasound waves reach a depth of 4.5 mm or as deep as the connective tissue between the muscles and skin.

This new technology opens the horizon for antiaging therapy. Ultrasound effects can be an option for some people who are still afraid to do so lifting with plastic surgery. Because the aging process continues, to maintain skin elasticity and firmness it is necessary to stimulate collagen that is needed routinely.
