Sonophoresis skin care infusion

Unlock your skin’s true potential. Our advanced ultrasound technology deeply infuses active ingredients for transformative results you can see and feel.#

Sonophoresis is a revolutionary, non-invasive and pain-free aesthetic treatment that uses low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound waves to dramatically enhance the delivery and efficacy of professional skincare products.

Think of it as a high-performance delivery system for your skin. It ensures that powerful serums for hydration, brightening, or anti-ageing don’t just sit on the surface, but are driven exactly where they’re needed to work.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Cleansing & Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed.

Application of Actives
A concentrated, professional-grade serum is applied, selected for your specific skin concern (e.g., hyaluronic acid for hydration, vitamin C for brightening, growth factors for ageing).

Ultrasound Infusion
A specialised handpiece glides over the skin, emitting safe, low-frequency ultrasound waves. These waves create gentle cavitation (micro-vibrations) that:

  • Loosen the bonds between skin cells in the outermost layer.

  • Push the active ingredients through this temporary pathway.

  • Stimulate micro-circulation and cellular metabolism.

Soothing Finale
The treatment concludes with a calming mask or moisturiser to lock in the benefits.

What Can Sonophoresis Treat?

By selecting the appropriate professional serum, we can target:

  • Deep Hydration & Plumping: Infusing hyaluronic acid to alleviate severe dryness and improve suppleness.
  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Delivering peptides, growth factors, and antioxidants to stimulate collagen and combat ageing.
  • Dullness & Uneven Pigmentation: Infusing vitamin C, arbutin, or niacinamide to brighten and even skin tone.
  • Acne-Prone & Congested Skin: Delivering salicylic acid or antibacterial agents deep into pores to clear congestion.
  • Sensitive & Dehydrated Skin: Calming and rebuilding the skin barrier with ceramides and soothing agents.
  • Pre/Post-Procedure Care: Enhancing results of microneedling, peels, or laser by ensuring optimal product penetration during healing.

Your Treatment Session

A typical Sonophoresis facial takes 30-45 minutes. It is a serene, clinical experience. You will feel a gentle, warm vibration and a light tingling sensation as the handpiece glides—many clients find it incredibly relaxing.

The Treatment Process

What to Expect: Safe, Professional Administration

Prior to any injection, we conduct a thorough consultation. We review your health history, lifestyle, diet, and reasons for seeking B12. This ensures the treatment is suitable and safe for you.
We use high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade Hydroxocobalamin or Methylcobalamin—the active, bioavailable forms of B12. The injection is prepared using a sterile, single-use syringe.
The injection is typically given into the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal muscle (buttock) or the deltoid muscle (upper arm). The area is cleansed with an antiseptic wipe. The process is quick, with most clients feeling only a minor pinch.
A small plaster is applied. You can resume normal activities immediately. Mild, temporary soreness at the injection site is possible.
A typical initial protocol involves 4-6 weekly injections to restore optimal levels, followed by a maintenance programme of one injection every 4-12 weeks, depending on your individual needs and response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discomfort is minimal. Using a fine-gauge needle and experienced technique, most clients describe it as a quick, slight pinch. The muscle may feel slightly tender for a short time afterwards.
Some people report increased energy and improved mood within 24-72 hours. For others with a significant deficiency, it may take a few treatments to notice a substantial difference as bodily stores are replenished.
B12 injections are very safe when administered correctly. Potential side effects are rare and mild, including temporary soreness at the injection site, mild headache, or light-headedness. Allergic reactions are extremely uncommon.
Vitamin B12 is essential during pregnancy and lactation. However, you must seek advice from your GP or midwife before receiving any injections from us to ensure it aligns with your overall care plan.
Hydroxocobalamin: an inactive B12 form that the body converts as needed; lasts longer in the body and is commonly used in injections. Methylcobalamin: an active B12 form that the body can use directly; often preferred for nerve health.
