Treatment times vary and usually take around 15 minutes to an hour per session. For larger areas such as post-pregnancy stretch marks, you’ll need to set aside 90 minutes.

Great news! Upon leaving your chosen salon or clinic, you’ll often see immediate improvements in your skin. For long term results, however, it’s best to book a course of treatments over a series of a few weeks.

During your ultrasound therapy treatment, the vibration of the sound waves will create deep heat within your tissue. This is great for softening hardened materials such as scar tissue or cellulite (yes please!), but check with your therapist if you have any concerns about using it on more sensitive parts of your body.

Sorry pregnant ladies! To enjoy this treatment, you’ll have to wait until after your pregnancy.

Now’s the time to address any concerns as well as discuss your goals for your session.

Next stop? The treatment itself. Using an ultrasound hand-held wand that emits high-frequency noises, your therapist will gently attend to the area by stroking the wand over your skin in gentle circular movements. You can expect some creams or gels to be used, too, which helps infuse the ultrasound into the skin deeper and more effectively.
