This focused training video offers a crystal-clear, step-by-step demonstration of the ultrasonic attachment function on a hydra dermabrasion machine. You’ll observe the precise techniques for preparing the skin, accurately applying the appropriate serum or gel, and executing the correct application method of the ultrasonic handpiece.
This visual guide is designed to equip you with the practical skills needed to effectively utilize the ultrasonic attachment for enhanced product penetration, improved circulation, and lymphatic drainage in your hydra dermabrasion treatments. Following this demonstration, you will be required to submit a video assessment of yourself performing this technique to confirm your proficiency.
For optimal viewing and to ensure you capture every detail, please set your video quality to High Definition (HD).

- Secure Connection: Ensure the ultrasonic handpiece is securely plugged into its designated port on the main machine.
- Machine Power/Function: Verify the main machine is powered on and the ultrasonic function is activated.
- Intensity Level: Adjust the intensity level on the main unit; start low and gradually increase.
- Conductive Gel: Essential: You MUST use a conductive gel (ultrasound gel, water-based gel, serum) between the handpiece and the skin. Ultrasonic waves cannot travel through air.
- Full Contact: Ensure the ultrasonic head is in full, even contact with the skin. Any air gaps will impede energy transfer.
- Water Droplet Test: Put a few drops of water on the metal head. If it’s working, the water should “dance” or atomize slightly. If not, there’s likely an internal issue.
Intermittent Function?
- Consistent Gel: Ensure consistent application of conductive gel.
- Loose Connections: Check for loose connections at the handpiece or machine.
- Consistent Contact: Maintain consistent contact with the skin.
Not Turning On At All?
- Main Machine Power: Confirm the main machine is powered on.
- Handpiece Connection: Check the handpiece connection to the machine.
Instructions for the Practical Assessment Submission:
Assessment Goal: To demonstrate your practical competency in setting up and correctly utilizing the ultrasonic attachment function of a hydra dermabrasion machine.
What to Submit: A short video (approximately 1-3 minutes) of yourself demonstrating the ultrasonic attachment technique.
Video Submission Requirements:
- Client Comfort (Optional but Recommended): Briefly mention or simulate how you would ensure client comfort during this step.
- Verbal Explanation (Recommended): As you perform the steps, it’s highly recommended to verbally explain what you’re doing and why. For example, “I’m applying a thin layer of conductive gel,” or “I’m using a slow, upward motion to encourage lymphatic drainage.”
- Video Clarity: Please ensure your video submission is filmed in High Definition (HD) and is well-lit so all actions are clearly visible.
