Dermal Aquaphoresis

Make an Appointment


We all experience challenges when it comes to looking after our appearance. The implant of the sun, environmental pollution and a less that perfect diet can dramatically impact the way we look and feel.

That’s why Dermal Aquaphoresis (ak-wa-for-ree-sis) is so successful. It’s designed to maximize skin recovery and repair in a attempt to return tissue to normal function and appearance.

The treatment is painless and can be administered in varying intensities depending on individual needs. Most importantly, Dermal Aquaphoresis requires no down time so you can return to work the same day, work out, or simply enjoy and evening out with friends.

Dermal Aquaphoresis

The outer protective coating of the skin- or stratum corneum- is a virtually impenetrable barrier which is designed to resist external influences. Topical products cannot penetrate this protective layer so by themselves these products have limited success in treating problem areas.

To achieve results, Dermal Aquaphoresis penetrates the skin with advanced electrical waveforms and a conductive gel containing ingredients that treat imperfections caused by the aging process. A combination of three waveforms ‘push’ the gel ingredients deep into the tissue allowing them to more effectively address skin repair.

How it works

Your skin has various entry points which allow substances to pass through: hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands. However, these ‘openings’ are not evenly distributed over the surface of the skin and are generally too small to allow absorption. However, the initial waveform used in Dermal Aquaphoresis dilates these tiny openings and allows the transfer of active ingredients down into the skin.

And that’s just part of the story. A second electrical waveform targets muscle tone to increase skin firmness and to stimulate blood flow is critical for the production of collagen which maintains your skin’s ability to repair efficiently.

Finally, a third sequence of waveforms is used for lymphatic drainage of toxins and waste products that can compromise your skin’s ability to repair efficiently.

Treatments

Your medical professional will recommend an appropriate course or treatments based on your individual needs. Generally, Dermal Aquaphoresis requires an initial series of four to six sessions and may be offered in conjunction with other treatment strategies to maximize results. Also, you may be asked to take advantage of a home care program to compliment the sessions you receive in the office. We also recommend that you reduce sun exposure, quit smoking and modify your diet to enhance all treatments results.

Prior to treatment you will be asked a series of questions regarding your overall health and current medications. This is done because certain conditions may interfere with treatment. For example, if you have a cardiac pacemaker, a history of skin cancer, or are pregnant you cannot receive treatment.

Dermal Aquaphoresis treatments are only available in doctor’s offices or medically supervised spas and are generally delivered by highly-trained nurses and medical aesthetics professionals.

New applications

Dermal Aquaphoresis is now used as an alternative to needle injection mesotherapy on the face because it eliminates the pain, bruising and swelling that can occur at the injection site as well as eliminates possible allergic reactions.

The most popular use of the treatment today is on body cellulite- the areas of congested tissue deposits most prominent on the thigh and buttocks. Called Derma Wave No Needle Mesotherapy, this new treatment uses similar techniques to Dermal Aquaphoresis but with a different formula of active ingredients and a low level laser. These painless treatments also require no down time affording patients greater flexibility in scheduling appointments around a busy lifestyle.
