The first are the Mechanical Effects caused by the ultrasound
waves force on the cells that move toward low-pressure zones. As a
consequence cells torsions and rotations with small vortexes happen
in interstitial fluids (streaming).
These pressure variations can provoke permeability alterations of
cells membranes (biochemical and biological effects). In case of
adipose cells pressure variations promotes complex molecules
liberation as fats that are
subsequently they are eliminated through lymphatic system and
micro-circulation.
Another aspect related to biochemical effect is the Phonophoresis,
a technique that introduces drugs in tissues through the ultrasounds.
A non – thermal effect is the Cavitation.
In therapeutic field the ultrasounds are obtained in an artificial way.
In fact some mineral crystals are able to dilate and condense when
they are subjected to electric field action. Ultrasound irradiation
creates some vibrations and a consequent intensive micro-massage
on tissues in depth and as a consequence heat is generated
(ultrasounds interaction with biological tissues has mechanical,
thermal, chemical and cavitation effects).
Ultrasounds

for
pathologies in order to obtain an
analgesic effect, in sciatic pain and
neuritis, in periarticular calcifications, in
Duplay's
disease,
disease, in hematomas and in heal
tissues,
in
contractures. The ultrasounds can be
used also in cellulite treatment by activating local circulation and by
decreasing orange-peel effect. They promotes active substances
penetration like essential oils, liposolubil vitamins (for example
vitamin A and E) and water-soluble agents through skin by relaxing
the tissues with great results in wrinkles treatment.
Ultrasounds result very efficacious in anti-inflammatory process
that re-generate tissues in case of acne, in fats movement for tissue
metabolism promotion, with positive effects also on vascularization
and lymphatic drainage.
