Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this device for calf problems (achilles, compartment issues). I had a whole slew of injuries stemming from achillies tendonitis that would not heal. I was going to a physical therapist(PT) for ultrasound therapy at my ortho's direction. I decided to buy a unit instead of continue to deal with the hassle of going to a PT. The convenience of this device, and the results, as I used it 3-4x per week versus 1-2x at the physical therapists, plus strengthening exercises (which alone did not do it), were impressive. The injury healed in a ~month(while continuing to run a bit). I now do strengthening exercises only and run to my hearts content with no issues.
I also experimented with this device on other minor muscle/tendon/ligament injuries and it really does make a difference in heal time. As you age, it takes longer... this device helps fight Father Time. The logic behind the claims and the reason the doc had me trying ultrasound makes sense. I feel that it does make a difference.
I also experimented on my face (different setting). I think it does make a difference if the issue is puffiness, fine wrinkles, uneven skin tone, you know --the early aging signs. The benefit is subtle, nothing dramatic but it is noticeable.
I would recommend this to fellow athletes, 100%. It will help heal injuries faster than without it, especially in mature (35-40+) athletes.
I would also recommend this for anyone that wants to try or is doing "lunchtime" laser facials(been there, done that). This is much gentler. You will get similar results for less money and more convenience with a more comfortable therapy.
Overall, I consider this unit worth the money. It was a good investment.

Ultrasound is gentle and safe. It provides rapid results and represents a significant advance in serious skin care. Ultrasound produces sound waves by rapidly oscillating the head hand piece probe. Altering the frequency of the oscillations, controls the depth of penetration. The lower the frequency, the greater the depth of penetration. The treatment has three major effects Mechanical, Thermal and Chemical. Mechanical effects include micro-massage of tissue, softening of scars, increased superficial toning, and increased elasticity of the skin. Thermal effects of ultrasound create friction and increase local heat. By increasing the metabolism of fibroblasts and other connective tissue cells, production of collagen and elastin increases. Increased temperature also stimulates blood flow to the area, bringing with it more oxygen and nutrients for healing. Another benefit of increased blood flow is an increase in lymph flow, which aids in removing toxins and waste products. Chemical reactions in cells to facilitate healing. It also decreases the local pH and increases the permeability of skin cells--effects that favor the penetration of active ingredients in the epidermis. Therapeutic ultrasound treatments hydrate the skin and allow product to penetrate deeper into the skin, leaving your skin feeling smoother and rejuvenated.The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery recently stated: "New skin care product formulations, used in conjunction with ULTRASOUND, will allow for deeper penetration of topically applied rejuvenating agents into the skin, resulting in significantly improved aesthetic results." "Early controlled studies suggest that externally-applied ultrasound can result in significant clinical skin rejuvenation benefits." Aesthetic Surgery Journal article's author David H. McDaniel, M.D.
