Sonophoresis Infusion
A needle-free treatment using ultrasound to enhance the penetration of active skincare ingredients.
What is Sonophoresis Infusion?
Sonophoresis uses low-frequency ultrasound to enhance the penetration of active skincare ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, without needles or injections. It is used to boost the effectiveness of serums targeting hydration, brightening or skin repair, and is often paired with other treatments to enhance their results.
What's involved
What to expect
A serum suited to your skin's needs is applied, and the ultrasound device passed over the treatment area to enhance absorption. Most people feel only a gentle warmth. A session typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Recovery
There is no downtime. Skin generally feels immediately more hydrated and comfortable.
Potential benefits
This treatment may:
- May improve absorption and effectiveness of active skincare ingredients
- Can support hydration and overall skin condition
- No downtime and gentle enough for most skin types
- Often paired with other treatments to enhance their results
Outcomes vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
Risks and complications
All treatments carry some risk, even non-surgical ones. Key risks include:
- Temporary warmth or mild redness in the treated area
- Reaction to the infused product — an uncommon risk; patch testing is available on request
- Cumulative results — generally most effective as part of a course or ongoing routine rather than a single session

Frequently asked questions
What serums are used?
This depends on your skin's needs and is discussed at consultation — commonly hydrating, brightening or repair-focused formulations.
Can this replace my skincare routine?
No. It's designed to enhance the effectiveness of professional treatments and products, not replace a daily skincare routine.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Generally yes, though patch testing can be arranged for anyone with known sensitivities.
