What’s an Ultrasonic Device?
Ultrasonic face scrubber spatula is a beauty device that exfoliates pores and deep cleans the skin. It cleans the face with high-frequency ultrasonic vibration. Although this tool was created not so long time ago, it gains popularity very fast. One of the reasons for that is its functionality. The face spatula gently exfoliates the skin removing oil, debris and dirt. After cleaning the face becomes smooth and firm, and pores will visibly shrink.
Moreover, blackheads and whiteheads that ruin your beauty will also be removed, and you’ll be surprised seeing how much dirt was on your face.Ultrasonic devices feature vibrations of up to 24,000-30,000 Hz, which basically "jiggles" out impurities from the pores as it exfoliates the surface of your skin. It’s also designed to make your favorite skin care serums penetrate your skin more deeply for maximum absorption and effectiveness. With consistent usage, you can treat the following skin complaints with an ultrasonic spatula:
Clogged pores
Excess oil
Blackheads and whiteheads
Dry, flaky skin
Dull skin tone
Uneven texture
Polluted skin
1. It’s gentler on sensitive skin.
We have found that women with sensitive skin are our fastest-growing base of customers. If you are also one with sensitive skin, an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula is a wonderful alternative to skin-cleansing brushes and personal microdermabrasion tools. You control the pressure, angle and direction of the spatula to delicately work debris from your pores, focusing on problem areas and exfoliating the skin gently without aggressively brushing or peeling it. Since you are using water or a hydrating toner with the spatula and not a gritty exfoliant, your skin will feel ultra clean and smooth after your treatment.
2. It’s more hygienic to use.
The Ultrasonic Skin Spatula doesn’t use brushes, discs or any abrasive methods that trap dead skin and bacteria like so many other beauty tools. Simply clean your spatula after each use with an antibacterial or alcohol wipe and store in it’s storage case.
3. It makes your other skin care products work better.
Skin care serums are filled with expensive and effective ingredients that promote optimum health for your skin. The problem is, if you are not exfoliating properly and infusing your serum deep into the surface, you serum is just sitting on top and not delivering the promised results. Ultrasonic Infusion helps make the skin care product claims come true for you!
4. Upkeep is more affordable.
This device is easy to clean and store as well. Once you invest in an Ultrasonic Skin Spatula, there are no other ongoing costs—no brushes or blades to replace, and it has a rechargeable battery.
5. It gives you that nice, clean feeling after.
Using the Ultrasonic Skin Spatula and seeing the gunk that has been extracted from your pores is extremely satisfying, and your face will feel squeaky clean without being flushed red from an aggressive “scrubbing.”
What type of skin is it used for?
You may wonder: Is it good for dry skin or oily skin? Can I use it for sensitive skin, acne-prone face or face with scars? Let’s go through this one by one.
Good news for you, ultrasonic face cleaner can be used for any type of skin. All the cleaning, exfoliating and dirt removing process is gentle and painless, so you can use it regardless the type of your skin.
If you have very sensitive skin after applying it your skin becomes red, however, the redness also will not last more than 15 minutes. The only thing you need to remember, before using a spatula your skin should be wet, otherwise you can’t use the device properly.
How to use ultrasonic skin scrubbing spatula?
Ultrasonic skin scrubber face spatula is an upgraded skin care tool. It works through vibration that can reach up to 24,000 hz high-frequency ultrasonic soundwaves to remove blackheads, whiteheads, oil and all other impurities. Here are the steps you should follow when using skin spatula:

Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber FAQ
“The skin is an amazing barrier, and so it takes a long time for things to get through it,”
says Dr. Adam Friedman, an associate professor of dermatology and director of translational research at George Washington University.
What's exfoliation? How does it work?
Exfoliation removes the top layer of your skin to reveal the smooth, beautiful skin below. The outer layer of your skin, called the epidermis, is made up of old, dead cells that are continually shedding. They're replaced by new cells below, which move up to replace the dead cells. As the new skin cells move up, they harden and die. This skin cycle is ongoing and takes about 30 days.But if those old, dead cells stay on the surface - instead of shedding - they can give your skin a flat, dull appearance. The buildup can also cause blemishes, and scaling. Exfoliation makes your skin more beautiful in 2 ways. It reveals the new skin below and improves the penetration of skincare products.
Ultrasound is one way to exfoliate skin and aestheticians LOVE it! This quote comes from the ReneeRouleau.com:
"For a treatment suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin, I believe ultrasonic exfoliation is a fabulous treatment."
What's ultrasound?
Ultrasound is sound waves (greater than or equal to 20 kHz) that travel at such a high frequency that you cannot hear them (unless you're young with FANTASTIC hearing).
Is it safe?
Ultrasound has been used in medicine for a long time. Many people are familiar with it because it's used to check the growth and development of babies while women are pregnant. Ultrasound is also used in cataract surgery and to break down kidney stones. It may even help to regrow teeth!
When ultrasound is used in physical therapy, it's called phonophoresis. First medication is applied to your skin, then the ultrasound waves are used to help the medication penetrate the skin - allowing it to be absorbed by the tissues below. So yes, ultrasound is used in lots of different applications. And when used as directed, ultrasound is very safe.
How does the ultrasonic facial work? (Sometimes you'll hear it called sonophoresis.)
Skin acts as a barrier to keep the good stuff in your body in AND the bad stuff out. It's built kind of like a brick wall. When skin works like it's supposed to, it's hard for creams and serums to penetrate. Katherine Farady, a Dermatologist in Austin, Texas, describes it like this:
"The outer layer of skin usually contains 20-35% water. The 'skin barrier,' also known as the stratum corneum, is comprised of a dead flattened layer of cells called corneocytes, forming the 'bricks,' and the intervening layer of lipids, forming 'the mortar.' This bricks and mortar structure prevents water loss through the skin."
"Low frequency ultrasonic exfoliation uses sound vibrations to disrupt your skin's barrier function," says Samir Mitragotri, PhD, assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The sound waves create small spaces between the skin cells (holes in the mortar between the bricks) that allow the ingredients in the creams/serums to quickly be absorbed into your skin.
Your aesthetician will apply water to your skin to loosen surface skin cells. Then she'll glide a "spatula" across your skin. It emits inaudible sound waves (about 28,000 per second) to lift the old cells off the surface of your skin. At the same time, those soundwaves push the water into your skin - leaving it plump and hydrated.
Are there any clinical studies? Is there any proof the ultrasonic facial works?
Low frequency ultrasound is used in many different medical applications. It allows medications to penetrate your skin more deeply. BUT there aren't many studies of how well ultrasound works for skin rejuvenation. In fact, I was only able to find 1 study of ultrasound & the ultrasonic spatula in skin rejuvenation.
A study by Steven Dayan, Shridhar Ventrapragada, and Anil R. Shah, followed 48 women ranging in age from 26 - 63. Each completed 8 treatments and had post-treatment photographs.
32 of the patients got salicylic acid + ultrasound.
16 got ultrasound alone.
All patients tolerated the study well and found the ultrasound therapy soothing.
There were no adverse effects
Results of the study:
An objective difference was seen when a mild skin exfoliant was added. The categories with significant improvements included skin laxity, fine wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and overall improvement. Only coarse wrinkles did not show significant improvement.
Improvements in facial skin were thought to be from exfoliation, NOT underlying structural skin changes. So the changes affected the epidermis (top layer of skin) most, with minimal effects on the dermis (2nd layer of skin).
Ultrasound was well tolerated with no downtime.
It was most effective when used with a mild peeling skincare product like salicylic acid.
Further study needs to be done to determine the best ultrasound exposure time, intensity level, and the best peeling skincare product to be used with the ultrasonic facial.
Ultrasound is widely used and safe when used by non-medical personnel under the guidance of a doctor.
Is it safe for all colors of skin?
Ultrasonic facials are very gentle and safe for even sensitive skin. They work well for people with rosacea, acne, dull, or aging skin. They're safe for all skin colors because they don't cause redness, swelling, or irritation. So you could have this facial on your lunch break and return to work looking great!
Does ultrasonic exfoliation hurt?
Nope. It's non-abrasive, not invasive (Ha! It rhymes!) and pain free.
How about down time?
Your skin may be a little pink right after an ultrasonic facial, but most people feel comfortable returning to their regular activities right away. That said, some people do get mild flaking when the ultrasonic facial is used with other exfoliating treatments or when it's used with active ingredients that increase flaking.
Is there anyone who should not have an ultrasonic facial?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
People with pacemakers
People with facial skin cancer
People with a bleeding disorder or people taking blood thinners/anticoagulant therapy
People who have a fever
People with an infection in the area to be treated.
