Ultrasound Facial

The deep-clean your skin has never gotten — no extractions, no irritation, no downtime

What Is It?

Most cleansers touch the surface of your skin. An ultrasound facial works inside your pores. High-frequency ultrasonic waves oscillating at 25,000–30,000 Hz generate a cavitation effect that loosens and lifts impurities from within the pore structure — without the trauma or redness of manual extraction.[1] This is paired with iontophoresis, a technique that uses a mild galvanic current to transport water-soluble active ingredients — vitamins, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid — through the stratum corneum and into the deeper epidermal layers where they can actually function.[2] At UR ALLURE, VitaLina has used this protocol for over 14 years to give clients the kind of deep, radiant clarity that no at-home routine can replicate.

Why You Need This

If your skin still looks dull, congested, or dehydrated despite a diligent skincare routine, your products aren't failing you — they just cannot reach deep enough. The outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum, is biologically designed to keep things out. Even the most potent serums absorb only a fraction of their active ingredients through this barrier. Meanwhile, sebum, dead cells, and pollutants accumulate inside pores below the surface — causing breakouts, blackheads, and a flat complexion that topical products alone will never fully resolve. This facial goes where your cleanser cannot: inside the pore, and through the barrier, delivering real cleansing and real nutrition to the skin beneath.

How It Works

The ultrasonic device vibrates at 25,000–30,000 Hz, creating a micro-cavitation effect that physically dislodges sebum and impurities from within pores without manual pressure or redness.[1] The vibrations also generate gentle thermal energy that increases local blood circulation and stimulates cellular metabolism — bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the skin surface. In the second phase, iontophoresis applies a gentle galvanic current that temporarily opens intercellular channels, allowing charged active molecules to travel past the stratum corneum into the epidermis — achieving ingredient penetration that would require extended occlusion to approximate through topical application alone.[2] The result is skin that is genuinely clean and genuinely fed at the same time.

Key Benefits

  • Pores cleared from within — without extractions, redness, or irritation
  • Active ingredients driven deep past the skin barrier where they can actually work
  • Brighter, more even skin tone visible immediately after treatment
  • Reduced congestion and breakout frequency with regular sessions
  • Gentle enough for sensitive and reactive skin types
  • Zero downtime — walk in, walk out with a visible glow

Who Is It For?

  • Your skin looks dull no matter how many products you layer on
  • Congested pores, blackheads, or frequent small breakouts that won't resolve
  • Sensitive skin that reacts to more aggressive treatments
  • You want to maximize the actual efficacy of your skincare products
  • Maintaining results between microneedling or chemical peel sessions
  • You want to start with a professional facial that is effective and gentle

What to Expect

1

Cleansing

5 min

Initial gentle cleansing of the skin surface.

2

Ultrasound Phase

15 min

Ultrasonic device moved across the skin to deeply cleanse pores and gently exfoliate from within.

3

Iontophoresis

15 min

Active serums are driven deep into the skin using mild galvanic current.

4

Finishing

5 min

Moisturizer and SPF application. No downtime — skin may appear flushed and glowing.

Results & Frequency

Most clients notice an immediate improvement in clarity and radiance after just one session — skin looks cleaner and more luminous within hours. For ongoing skin health and consistent pore clearance, treatments every 2–4 weeks are ideal. This facial pairs exceptionally well as a maintenance treatment between microneedling or chemical peel sessions, keeping skin clear, receptive, and maximally responsive to each intensive treatment.
