How is Ultrasound Therapy Performed?

Your therapist will select a small area to treat at a time 3 to 10 minutes. Gel is applied either to the transducer head or to your skin, which helps the sound waves evenly penetrate the skin. During your ultrasound treatment, your therapist will continually move the transducer head over and around the selected area.
