Gas-liquid peeling
This is one of the most popular facial rejuvenation procedures after 40 years. Modern gas-liquid peeling devices are used successfully in beauty salons. The set comes with 2 manipulators. The first creates a high-speed supersonic flow with microdroplets of the required size. Allows gas-liquid peeling, lymphatic drainage and 3D modeling massage. The second is designed for even application of serum and nutrient solution.
Operating principle
The device is modeled in such a way that a mixture of liquid and gas is sprayed on the skin surface under high pressure. The penetration of bubbles and microscopic droplets into the inner layers of the skin is ensured by the high spray rate. The keratinized layer of cells is removed without compromising the integrity of the skin.

By stimulating the production of collagen and elastane, the process of tissue regeneration begins. The skin is rejuvenated, the color is improved, puffiness is reduced, a noticeable lifting effect is observed. In addition, small wrinkles disappear and deep wrinkles become less pronounced.

Even the most expensive cosmetics, when applied topically, will not be able to remove all age-related defects due to the small depth of penetration. In such cases, ultrasound devices come to the rescue.
Operating principle
The technique combines the effect of ultrasonic waves and cosmetic products. It is prescribed to reduce the severity of the first signs of aging, as well as to moisturize the skin, treat acne and eliminate some other defects.
