MBK Skincare: The Wave

What is The Wave Device?

MBK Skincare combines four modalities for optimal treatment results. In addition, the Wave offers the flexibility of using the modalities individually or all four simultaneously. It improves toning and product penetration and provides anti-again assistance.

Here are the facts:

• Ultrasound waves 3MHz (3 million per minute) work on the skin in the following way: they stimulate cells. The tiny massage it produces expands the space in which the cells exist, causing movement of cytoplasm, the rotation of mitochondria, and the vibration of the cell nucleus; it stimulates and expands the cell membrane, improving local blood and lymph circulation and increases the penetration of skin-enhancing products.
• Biomechanical Vibrations (6000-7000 times per minute) send gentle vibrations that stimulate muscles. The effects are particularly beneficial for speeding up metabolism by improving the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tissue for smooth, healthy skin. This mode induces toning.
• Ion+ electrical current draws debris out of the pores for a deep cleanse. Use over top of a cleanser for about 3 minutes.
• Ion- electrical current drives product deeper into the skin, creating better hydration and effectiveness of ingredients.
• Red LED 620-630nm: Stimulates fiber cells, improves blood circulation and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and inflammation. Anti-aging and pigmentation.
• Blue LED 460-470nm: Kills surface bacteria and calms skin.
• Green LED 520-530nm: Kills bacteria deeper to help eliminate acne and works on pigmentation issues.

How to use The Wave:

1. There needs to be a product on the skin to conduct the modalities. You may use any water-based gel or high moisture content product for conduction. Remember that you are driving the product deep into your skin, so you don't want to use something with inferior ingredients. You may apply any serum on the skin before applying your conductive product.
2. Use the Wave in Ion+ mode over any cleanser for a deep cleanse. Use for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, use the Wave in the remaining modes for product penetration and lifting for 5 to 10 minutes on each side of the face.
3. Apply product to half of the face and neck, working that half first for 5 to 10 minutes. Your movements will be upward, starting on the lower neck. Make your movements slow with a pause at the end. No need to put pressure; glide the unit.
4. When finished with the first half of the face, apply the product to the second half and repeat.

What does ultrasound technology do for your skin?

Through the ultrasound procedure, the dermis is stimulated to produce new collagen. The result is a younger and tighter-looking skin as the tissue provides more support to the skin. Improves both neck and facial skin. The focused ultrasound is delivered to pre-planned depths within the tissue below the surface of your skin to stimulate collagen growth. Ultrasound technology bypasses the skin's surface, targeting the deep, structural skin tissues where collagen resides.

Is ultrasound technology safe?

Ultrasound technology has been proven safe and effective in tightening the skin on the face and neck. In addition, research shows that the forehead, cheeks, chin, and jaw areas can benefit from the treatment with ultrasound technology.
