Ionophoresis is an effective and non-invasive method of delivering active substances deep into the skin using direct current. Thanks to the phenomena of electroporation and ionization, these substances - in the form of ions - penetrate much deeper than with regular surface application. This intensifies the action of the ingredients and makes the treatment effects faster and more long-lasting. As part of the therapy, it is also possible to perform ionopeeling - a treatment using fruit acids (e.g., glycolic, lactic) or medical acids (e.g., TCA, kojic, retinoic). These acids, through ionophoresis, reach deep into damaged cells, stimulating natural skin regeneration and rebuilding.
In facial skin tightening therapy, ionophoresis is exceptionally effective - as it combines the action of nourishing ingredients with the biostimulating effect of the current, which improves microcirculation and cellular metabolism.
How does ionophoresis work for skin tightening?
During the treatment, active ingredients are introduced into the skin, such as:
- vitamin A, C, E,
- antioxidants and peptides,
- fruit acids and medical acids (e.g., glycolic, lactic, TCA, kojic, retinoic).
Thanks to the direct current, these molecules overcome the skin barrier and go directly into the deeper layers of the skin, where they:
- stimulate the production of collagen and elastin,
- activate regenerative processes,
- help in firming and tightening tissues.
Additionally, applied ionopeels effectively exfoliate dead cells and stimulate skin renewal from within, without damaging healthy structures - allowing for the rebuilding of healthy, tight, and even skin.
When to consider treatments with ionophoresis?
Ionophoresis treatments are recommended for individuals who:
- notice sagging and loss of firmness in the skin of the face, neck, décolleté,
- have mimic and gravitational wrinkles,
- struggle with dull, thin skin with uneven tone,
- want to strengthen the skin structure and improve its elasticity,
- are looking for a non-invasive solution to improve facial contouring,
- want to achieve a skin tightening effect without a recovery period.
Effects of firming treatments with ionophoresis
- Firming of sagging skin by stimulating collagen and elastin fibers
- Improvement in tissue tension, especially in the cheek, jaw, and neck areas
- Increased skin density and elasticity, making it more resistant to gravity
- Smoothing of wrinkles and mimic lines through better internal filling
- Lifting of facial contours and improvement in shape without using invasive methods
- Regeneration of weakened skin structure by delivering active ingredients deep into the tissues
- Refreshment and brightening of the complexion, visually rejuvenating and adding radiance
- Enhancement of natural skin repair processes that slow down sagging
- Long-lasting improvement in firmness through regular fibroblast stimulation
- Reduction of skin sagging effects by improving its elasticity and moisture
Treatments with ionophoresis are an excellent solution for individuals who want to effectively firm sagging skin, improve facial contours, and restore a youthful, radiant look to the skin. By combining advanced technology with the action of highly active substances, ionophoresis allows for long-lasting and noticeable effects after just a few sessions. It is a safe, comfortable, and highly effective form of anti-aging therapy for demanding skin in need of significant reinforcement and renewal.
Combining treatments with ionophoresis for facial skin tightening
Ionophoresis is a treatment that combines caring and biostimulating properties - making it an excellent solution for skin sagging, loss of elasticity, and initial signs of facial contour loss. In aesthetic cosmetology, it is treated as a tool that supports skin quality restoration but also as a precise carrier of active substances that enhances the effects of other therapies.
To fully utilize its potential, it is beneficial to combine ionophoresis with other non-invasive procedures that prepare the skin or prolong the effect:
- Exfoliating treatments - performed before ionophoresis to remove dead cells and improve skin conductivity, allowing ionically introduced active ingredients to penetrate much deeper.
- Firming facial massages or lymphatic drainage - applied after ionophoresis to further stimulate microcirculation, improve tissue nutrition, and support detoxification, which positively affects skin tension and quality.
- Lifting and regenerating masks - applied after ionophoresis to the open skin, they work more effectively due to increased tissue permeability. The smoothing and rejuvenating effect on the skin is then more quickly noticeable.
- LED light treatments - especially red and infrared light, which can be applied directly after ionophoresis to enhance collagen synthesis, soothe potential irritations, and deepen the stimulation of the dermis.
- Courses of ultrasound therapy - performed alternately with ionophoresis, act at different depths of the skin, strengthening its density and tension in a multi-level manner.
Ionophoresis is a safe and highly precise method of strengthening the skin that should be used consciously - preferably as part of a multi-stage therapy combining nourishment, drainage, and fibroblast stimulation. Properly selected treatment combinations not only help firm the skin but also significantly improve its structure and resistance to aging processes.
