Acoustic Wave Therapy and Oily Skin

Acoustic wave therapy (AWT) provides a solution to the skin problem that has eluded even dermatologists – oily skin. Of all the skin types, oily skin is the hardest to treat.

Oily Skin

If you are not having a lot of success with topical treatments, it is not surprising. They fail to reach the source of oil secretion – the sebaceous glands, which are buried in the connective tissues of the thick second layer of skin called the dermis. These glands lubricate the skin with oil and keep it from drying out.

For those of us who suffer from excess secretion of oil, superficial treatments only provide temporary relief from the appearance of clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes. The vibrations from acoustic wave therapy, on the other hand, can reach deep into the dermis layer, unclogging pores and loosening up oil deposits.

Acoustic Wave Pressure

Acoustic wave pressure is also being successfully applied in the treatment of cellulite. Acoustic vibrations are smoothing out lumpy skin by loosening up the connective tissues that store fatty deposits. Similarly, through AWT, the oil/sweat glands embedded in the dermis layer of your body can be stimulated, circulation improved and oil deposits in the skin cleared up.

Scientists are now using sound waves to levitate dust off the surface of Mars. Consider what the same technology could do for your clogged pores.
