When you think of ultrasounds, you may associate it with pregnancy and the medical field. Now spas are using it for facial rejuvenation.

At La Dolci Vita Salon and Spa in Augusta, Merideth Thomkins has been doing ultrasound facials for nearly four months.

"Some of the benefits you can exfoliate the dead skin cells making for a clear, healthier complexion without the redness and irritation associated with microdermabrasion," said Merideth Thomkins, Skin Therapist.

Merideth says you get great results without the irritation other procedures may cause.

And Dr. Achih Chen, Chief of Plastic Surgery at MCG Health System agrees.

" There's no prolonged redness, there's not a healing wound as a result of the treatment and it's almost in many cases, it can be a lunch time treatment," said Dr. Achih Chen, Plastic Surgeon.

In fact, one treatment usually just takes an hour.

We were there when Shivah Tosigh got her first ultrasound facial.

A ground wire was wrapped around Shivah's hand because the procedure involves electronic sound waves.

About two hundred and fifty volts push antioxidants and vitamins into the layers of her skin, much deeper than what your hands could do.

And when the procedure's over, you see immediate results.

"The clients definitely feel rejuvenated, refreshed, their glowing, they have a new skin," said Thomkins.

"I think the thing that's important with ultrasound facials is that the expectations are realistic," said Dr. Chen.

And how does Shivah feel about her first ultrasound facial? "Oh it was wonderful. The process was very, very good , the smell was good and it makes me relaxed," said Shivah Tosigh, Client.

So, if you're looking for a quick and painless way to reduce the signs of aging, an ultrasound facial may be your fountain of youth.
