Will having ultrasound therapy accelerate aging?
Generally, ultrasound therapy devices (commonly known as "Ultrasound Cannon") use micro-focused and broad focal zone techniques to precisely deliver ultrasonic energy to different layers of subcutaneous tissue, such as the dermis, superficial fascia, and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer. The thermal effect causes tissue contraction and stimulates collagen production and reorganization, thereby achieving skin tightening, facial contour lifting, and wrinkle reduction. The typical reference price for an Ultrasound Cannon treatment ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per session. Results are usually visible within 1 to 3 months after treatment, although temporary side effects such as redness and pain may occur. Importantly, undergoing Ultrasound Cannon treatment does not accelerate aging. A detailed explanation is as follows:
The Ultrasound Cannon promotes new collagen formation. As people age, collagen in the skin gradually diminishes, leading to signs of aging such as sagging skin and wrinkles. The energy delivered by the Ultrasound Cannon stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness, thus improving the appearance of aging. The treatment is precise and controllable. Professional physicians can adjust the intensity and depth of the energy based on the patient’s skin condition and individual needs, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. The device targets only specific tissue layers without causing excessive damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Therefore, Ultrasound Cannon treatment does not accelerate aging; instead, it helps delay the aging process.
It is recommended to undergo this procedure at a reputable medical facility under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and efficacy. After treatment, patients can further maintain and prolong the results by following proper skincare routines and healthy lifestyle habits, such as applying sunscreen, getting sufficient sleep, and maintaining a balanced diet.
