Fine lines, skin sagging, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin tone are the inevitable result of skin aging, but skincare technology is helping to slow down the aging process with impressive anti-aging modalities. Technologies like radio frequency skin tightening, ultrasound, red light therapy, and EMS work deep into the skin layers to boost collagen production to visibly lift and tighten the skin and smooth fine lines while targeting uneven skin tone.

Ultrasonic skin tightening is one of those options that sounds pretty enticing: non-invasive, collagen-boosting, can be done at home with possibly a more affordable device compared to in-clinic treatments, and - perhaps most importantly - it offers a list of benefits beyond skin tightening such as cell rejuvenation, tightening enlarged pores, fading dark circles, skin oxygenation and boosting product absorption.

What is Ultrasonic Skin Tightening?

It is a non-surgical approach to skin tightening that uses low-frequency ultrasonic waves to penetrate the skin causing micro-vibrations. The waves reach the dermal skin layer to stimulate skin cells and trigger the production of new collagen stores for firmer, tighter skin. Also called ultrasound therapy, this non-invasive treatment uses ultrasound energy to lift the face and reduce wrinkles with minimal risk.

What Does Ultrasonic Skin Tightening Do for The Skin?

An at-home ultrasound facial device triggers the skin’s natural healing and repairing function to produce stronger, firmer, and newer collagen stores. While immediate results are often evident, this procedure requires dedication to see results. Consistent use supports overall skin rejuvenation as collagen stores are strengthened and skin elasticity and fine lines are improved for natural and lasting results.

Can I do an Ultrasound Facial At-Home?

A recent surge in the popularity of at-home beauty technology means many treatments are now available from home at a fraction of the cost. There are several advantages to opting for an at-home treatment device over-committing to a course of in-clinic treatments.

- Accessibility - at-home devices are easily incorporated into your existing skincare routine
- Cost-effectiveness - at-home skin tightening devices are a ‘once-off investment’ without the burden of repeat payments
- Gradual approach - a measured approach to anti-aging often offers the most sustainable and noticeable results - in-clinic procedures may offer more extreme results initially but unless you are regularly repeating certain treatments results may fade over time
- Personal comfort - the privacy and comfort of relaxing in your own space vs an unfamiliar clinic setting

What is the Best Ultrasonic Skin Tightening Device For Anti-Aging?

If you have decided to invest in an at-home skin tightening device you’re probably looking for ‘The One’ - a device that will target a diverse range of skin concerns such as lifting, skin tone, fine lines, and eye bags. This why we recommend opting for an at-home skin tightening device that incorporates ultrasonic skin tightening with other anti-aging modalities. Few things are more frustrating than investing in a beauty tool, only to realize we must buy several more to complete a full skin treatment. This is the exact frustration we had in mind when we created Reva, a novel 5-in-1 skin tightening and anti-aging device with ultrasound, EMS, electroporation, radio frequency, and LED light therapy. Each technology is designed to target a unique skin layer for a holistic approach to anti-aging from the inside out (literally).

EMS penetrates the deepest (even deeper than the skin layers) to effectively stimulate and tone the facial muscles for an intense facial workout. It’s like the gym for your skin! On the other hand, blue light therapy targets the most superficial layer or ‘epidermal skin layer’ to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and other surface-level blemishes.

How Do Reva’s Anti-Aging Technologies Affect the Skin Layer?

Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

EMS targets all 43 facial muscles to strengthen and tighten the face for younger and firmer-looking skin. EMS uses painless electrical currents to wake up the facial muscles telling them to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP supports the creation of key structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.

Ultrasonic Skin Tightening + Radio Frequency (URF)

Reva combines ultrasonic skin tightening and radio frequency skin tightening to create a powerful ‘skin lifting’ treatment mode. The combined treatment targets deep into the dermis, even reaching subcutaneous tissue to tighten the skin, break down built-up adipose tissue for a more sculpted appearance, support cell rejuvenation, and reduce the appearance of crow’s feet and other wrinkles. Radio frequency technology works by creating electromagnetic energy to heat skin tissue to generate new collagen stores.

Revolving Electroporation Pulse (REP)

REP is an advanced form of ‘electroporation’ a technique that works by creating micro-wounds in the skin to enhance the absorption of topical treatments. Electroporation is a powerful treatment that targets all three skin layer, the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis (or subcutaneous tissue). Electrical pulses disrupt the cell membrane to create temporary pores for better skincare penetration, this prevents expensive serums and creams from resting on the skin’s surface.

LED Light Therapy

Reva allows you to incorporate red, blue, and yellow light therapy with each of the treatment modes above. Red light therapy (620-625nm) penetrates deep into the dermal layer to bolster collagen production. Yellow light therapy reaches the epidermal and dermal layers also but at a shallower depth than red light, it soothes irritated skin and repairs a damaged or compromised skin barrier for a brighter and more vibrant complexion. Blue light therapy (460nm) has the shortest wavelength and treats the epidermal skin layer to remove acne-causing bacteria and control sebum production and other persistent blemishes.

The Takeaway

Ultrasound skin tightening is a powerful anti-aging treatment that uses low-frequency ultrasonic waves to support anti-aging and skin tightening. With advancements in at-home devices, this skin rejuvenation treatment is now easily accessible for use in the comfort of your own home. Choosing an at-home skin-tightening device to invest in is not always easy and we always recommend opting for a device that combines more than one modality. Just as an in-clinic facialist would create a comprehensive treatment plan that targets all skin layers, with different technologies and topical treatments based on your skin needs, so too should your at-home devices. Reva offers a streamlined solution with multiple treatments in one device, saving both time and money. After all, who has the resources to invest in multiple single-function skincare devices that are not designed to address all your skin needs?
