How to Set Up an Ultrasonic Skin Cleanser Step-by-Step

The right ultrasonic skin cleanser setup starts before the device even touches your face. Here's how to do it safely and effectively in just a few minutes.

1. Cleanse your face: Use a gentle cleanser to remove surface oil and makeup.
2. Steam or warm towel: Open pores with a facial steamer or warm towel for 5 minutes.
3. Keep skin damp: Moisture is key. The device needs hydration to work effectively.
4. Power on the device: Choose your ultrasonic mode if applicable.
5. Use correct angle: Hold the ultrasonic face spatula at a 30–45° angle for exfoliation.
6. Glide, don’t press: Light, upward strokes along congested areas are best.
7. Wipe device after each pass: This avoids buildup and ensures sanitation.

What to Avoid When Using an Ultrasonic Skin Cleanser

Even a premium ultrasonic skin care device can irritate if misused. Here’s what to avoid to keep your skin happy and glowing:

• Don’t use on dry skin: Always keep your face damp or misted during use.
• Don’t press hard: Light pressure is enough—ultrasonic waves do the work.
• Don’t use over active acne or broken skin: This can cause further irritation.
• Don’t overuse: 2–3 times a week is sufficient for most skin types.
• Don’t skip cleaning the device: Always sanitize after each use to avoid bacteria buildup.

What to Expect After First Use

After your first session with an ultrasonic facial cleaner, you might notice instant results—or subtle shifts. Here’s what’s normal and what’s not.

• Slight redness: Temporary and usually fades in 15–30 minutes.
• Smoother texture: Dead skin cells are removed gently, revealing fresher skin.
• Improved glow: You may notice your face looking more radiant due to increased circulation.
• Deeper product absorption: Serums and moisturizers apply more evenly post-treatment.
