Ultrasound therapy: Medical, aesthetic and expanded cancer treatment possibilities

Ultrasound therapy is a remarkable versatile, non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to generate heat and mechanical energy in the body's tissue. Historically, it has been used in musculoskeletal disorders, urological problems, and also for aesthetic purposes. Now it also turns out to be a potential tool for cancer treatment.

Mechanisms of action
Ultrasound therapy works through two primary mechanisms:

Heat generation: The thermal effects of the sound waves stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which are important for skin and tissue repair and elasticity.

Mechanical energy: Microvibrations induced by the waves start mechanical changes in tissue, which is useful for breaking down scar tissue and cellulite.

General health benefits

• Pain relief: Effective in reducing muscle, joint pain and inflammation.
• Spasmer relationship: contributes to muscle relaxation and spasm relief.
• Wound healing: accelerates healing by increasing blood flow and tissue growth.
• Reduction of scar tissue and edema: Improves scar tissue and reduces swelling.
• Improved circulation and tissue elasticity: Increases blood flow and making tissues more elastic.

Urological and sexual health

• Erection problems: Increases blood flow to the penis and improves elasticity.
• Prostate -related problems: Reduces inflammation and swelling of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis.
• Women's sexual and urological health: takes up low libido, pelvic pine and vaginal atrophy.

Aesthetic and beauty applications

• Skin tightening and wrinkle reduction: Increases collagen for skin firmness and reduces wrinkles.
• Scars and cellulite treatment: Effective for breaking down scar tissue and cellulite.
• Home texture and inflammatory control: Improves blood circulation for brilliant skin and controls inflammation related to acne.

Emerging applications in cancer treatment

• Tumor blowing: Focused ultrasound waves and cavitation bubbles can warm up and destroy cancer cells.
• Improved medication delivery: Ultrasound improves the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
• Immunotherapy: reinforces the body's natural defense mechanisms against cancer.

Protocols for ultrasound therapy

• Apply gel for better contact between probe and skin.
• Move the probe in circular or front-and-back movements.
• Adjust intensity and duration by condition and comfort.
• Typical treatment lasts for 10-20 minutes.

Specifications for treatment

• Frequency: 1 MHz for deeper tissues, 3 MHz for superficial tissue.
• Duration and intensity: 10-20 minutes, variable intensity based on state.
• Treatment rate: Consult health professionals for personal plans.

Security and precautions
Always consult with a health provider before treatment starts, especially if you are pregnant, have heart disease or handle cancer.

Conclusion
Ultrasound therapy stands as a multi-dimensional, non-invasive and effective treatment option for a variety of medical and aesthetic applications.
