Mechanism Behind the Operation of Skin Treatment Devices
The influence of technology is felt in virtually every aspect of life, and world of beauty- skin treatment in this context- is not left out in any way. There are quite a number of devices that operate on different technologies such as microdermabrasion, ultrasound/ultrasonic, LED light therapy and so on. So, we feel it's good that you get intimated on how these technologies work hence we've decided to shed some thoughts on them.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion basically concerns the removal of dead (skin) cells [from surface of the skin] through vacuuming action along with either crystal or diamond tips. This technology is also suitable for getting rid of sun damage that might have affected the skin. Examples of some devices that operate on this principle include: Nuvederm Diamond Microdermabrasion System and PMD Personal Microderm System.
Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic devices simply use sound waves [which eventually bring about vibration], and then massage surrounding skin tissues while boosting the supply of oxygen [to the cells] and helping in the removal of dead cells. For the devices that utilize ultrasonic technology, we have Ultherapy, Clarisonic Pedi Foot Transformation System, etc.
Laser
Devices that are integrated with laser technology work by upsetting the skin in order to make it to rapidly turn over the cells. The technology is best suited for eliminating wrinkles, and also promote the growth of collagen. Some of the devices set on laser technology include: Tria Beauty Age-Defying Laser and LightStim LED light therapy handheld device.
LED Light Therapy
The LED light devices vary in design and purpose- there are the ones with red LED light, amber LED light and blue LED light. The devices function by targeting the layers of water present on elastin, a protein that aids in the rejuvenation of the skin. The SkinClinical Reverse Anti-Aging Light Therapy Device and the Newkey LED Light Photon Therapy System are just two (2) good examples of such devices.
