Joint pain from morning to night? Cellulite, sagging face? The MediSound 3000 is a dual-use professional ultrasound device: 18 therapeutic programs for musculoskeletal complaints (arthrosis, muscle pain, tendonitis) and 31 cosmetic programs for beauty care (cellulite, wrinkles, skin tightening). One device – two worlds. Why choose the MediSound 3000? Dual frequency – superficial and deep treatment 1 MHz frequency reaches deeper structures (muscles, lower back, hip and knee joints), while 3 MHz treats superficial layers (face, neck, tendons). No need to choose – both applications in one device. Professional 3 W/cm² output This is the kind of output used in physiotherapy clinics. This is a true therapeutic instrument, also used in clinics and rehabilitation centers. 49 pre-programmed treatments 18 therapeutic and 31 cosmetic programs – you don't need to be an expert to set it up. Select the complaint, start the program. The device optimizes frequency, intensity and duration. Waterproof transducer – suitable for underwater use If touching the treated area is painful, you don't need to place the transducer directly on the skin. Immerse the body part in warm water, and water will transmit the ultrasound – a gentle solution for acute pain. When to use it? If you feel constant or regularly recurring joint pain ▼ Complaints caused by arthrosis and arthritis – morning stiffness in the knee, hip pain when climbing stairs, limited shoulder mobility – regularly make everyday life difficult. Painkillers only provide symptomatic relief. How can ultrasound help? The pain-relieving effect of therapeutic ultrasound is partly due to heat generation and partly to the direct effect of ultrasound on sensory nerve endings. Through the trophic effect, blood vessels dilate and circulation increases – this facilitates the removal of metabolic waste and supplies tissues with nutrients and oxygen. All this can contribute to faster resolution of inflammatory processes. Programs: Hip arthrosis, Knee arthrosis, Shoulder arthrosis, Spine arthrosis, Ankle arthrosis, General arthrosis If tense, spasmodic muscles bother you – back, neck, trapezius ▼ Office work, stress, poor posture – and you already feel tight, pulling sensations in the neck, trapezius, or upper back. By afternoon you may be unable to move, and headaches set in. How can ultrasound help? As ultrasound passes through soft tissues it generates heat. This thermal effect increases cellular metabolism and causes vasodilation. In muscle tissue this can result in relaxation. The mechanical effect – tiny oscillations of tissue particles – provides a kind of micro-massage that can also contribute to muscle relaxation. Programs: Back pain, Neck pain, Trapezius muscle pain, Muscle pain If tendons are inflamed, stiff or overloaded – tennis elbow, shoulder ▼ Epicondylitis (tennis elbow), shoulder tendinitis, calcific shoulder – these tendon problems are stubborn and long-lasting. Every grasping, lifting, or reaching movement reminds you of them. How can ultrasound help? The fibrolytic effect of ultrasound, due to oscillation of tissue particles, can loosen collagen fibers in fibrous tissues. This is especially important for adhesions, scarring and calcifications. Heat and increased blood flow can also speed up regeneration of damaged tissues. Programs: Epicondylitis (tennis elbow), Calcific shoulder tendinitis If you want to accelerate bone healing after a fracture ▼ Wrist fracture, tibial fracture, stress fracture – bone healing can take weeks or months. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound may support this process. How can ultrasound help? Low-intensity (0.2–0.3 W/cm²) pulsed ultrasound stimulates bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) through mechanical microstimulation. Clinical studies indicate this can accelerate bony union, especially in fresh fractures and pseudoarthrosis. Programs: Wrist fracture, Tibial stress fracture, Fracture. If numbness or tingling bother you – tunnel syndromes ▼ Carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal stenosis – nerve compression causes numbness, tingling, and pain. It may wake you at night and interfere with work during the day. How can ultrasound help? Therapeutic ultrasound has anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effects that can reduce swelling of tissues around nerves. Increased blood flow can improve nerve nutrition, and the thermal effect may reduce pain. Programs: Carpal tunnel syndrome, Spinal stenosis If you want to enhance the effect of cosmetic creams ▼ Expensive serums, vitamins, active ingredient concentrates – but do they penetrate? The skin's protective barrier prevents active ingredients from reaching sufficient depth. How can ultrasound help? The sonophoresis effect of ultrasound increases cell permeability, reduces the skin's functional barrier, and enhances penetration of active ingredients. Oils, fat-soluble vitamins, liposomal formulations and water-soluble agents are all better absorbed during ultrasound application. Programs: Active ingredient delivery, Skin restructuring If wrinkles and tired-looking skin bother you ▼ Superficial expression wrinkles, loss of skin tone, and signs of photoaging – these are natural consequences of time, but their progression can be slowed. How can ultrasound help? The thermal effect of ultrasound warms tissues and stimulates biochemical and metabolic processes. The 3 MHz frequency is optimized for superficial layers (0.5–2 cm) – ideal for face and neck skin. Regular treatment may support the skin's natural renewal processes. Programs: Face lifting, Wrinkle treatment, Photoaging treatment, Skin smoothing If your skin is problematic, with pimples or acne ▼ Pimples and acne are not just teenage problems. Adult acne is stubborn and can leave marks. Scars and uneven skin texture are frustrating. How can ultrasound help? Besides its anti-inflammatory effect, ultrasound activates fibroblasts – cells that play a key role in post-inflammatory regeneration. The collagen and elastin fibers produced after treatment increase tissue elasticity, reducing the likelihood of post-acne scarring. Absorption of anti-acne products can also be enhanced. Programs: Facial acne, Facial pimples, Body pimples, Rosacea, Telangiectasia, Scar treatment, Keloid treatment If cellulite and orange-peel skin won't go away ▼ Cellulite, edematous and fibrous types – hard to influence with diet and exercise, and expensive and time-consuming at the beautician. How can ultrasound help? The thermal effect of therapeutic ultrasound mobilizes fat stored in adipocytes in the treated area. This increases fat metabolism and promotes fat removal. The device has dedicated programs for edematous (fluid-retention) and fibrous (connective tissue) cellulite – these require different approaches. Programs: Edematous cellulite, Fibrous cellulite, Orange-peel skin, Lipolysis, Abdominal adiposity, Buttock/hip adiposity If you want to improve sagging, lax skin ▼ After weight loss, after childbirth, or with aging – the skin loses firmness. The underside of the arms, abdomen, thighs and décolleté are particularly affected. How can ultrasound help? Ultrasound stimulates fibroblasts, which produce collagen and elastin – fibers responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. The thermal effect and mechanical micromassage together can improve tissue tone and circulation. Programs: Hypotonia, Abdominal relaxation, Sagging thighs, Breast relaxation, Arm relaxation, Stretch marks, Breast stretch marks If your limbs swell, retain fluid, or you have poor lymphatic circulation ▼ Swollen legs, heavy arms, stagnant fluid – slowed lymphatic circulation is visible and felt. Massage helps, but it's not always available. How can ultrasound help? The micro-massage effect of ultrasound and increased circulation can support lymph flow. The device's dedicated lymphatic massage programs use specific settings to aid lymphatic drainage of the arms, thighs and hips. Programs: Arm lymphatic massage, Thigh/hip lymphatic massage, Arm lymphatic drainage, Massage, Thigh/hip massage, Relaxation How to use the device's 49 programs The MediSound 3000 simplifies the work of healthcare and beauty professionals: select the complaint or goal and the device automatically sets the optimal frequency, intensity and duration. As an experienced user you can of course adjust every parameter manually, and save up to 30 custom programs.

Tip for professionals: The device allows custom setting and saving of any parameter (frequency, intensity, duration, duty cycle). You can create up to 30 custom programs for frequent treatments – enabling even faster work. How to use it? It's that simple: 1 Turn on and select a program Press the OK button, then use the P+/P- buttons to select the area or complaint to treat. Among the 49 pre-set programs you'll surely find a suitable one – no need to struggle with parameters. 2 Apply ultrasound gel Apply ultrasound gel generously to the treated area. This ensures proper contact and transmission of the ultrasound waves. Without gel the treatment is ineffective! The device has contact detection and will indicate if contact is insufficient. 3 Move the transducer in circular motions Place the transducer on the gel and move slowly in circular motions (approx. 4 cm/second). Never hold the head in one place! Continuous movement ensures even energy distribution and prevents overheating. 4 Observe time and intensity Treat an area for a maximum of 10 minutes. Start at low intensity and gradually increase. If you feel a pleasant warmth – that's fine. If you experience a burning sensation, stop the treatment immediately.

The manufacturer (DOMINO s.r.l.) primarily recommends it for physicians, physiotherapists and trained professionals in clinical, rehabilitation and physiotherapy settings. It is also suitable for discerning home users who seek a professional-level device – but consulting the treating physician about the appropriate treatment protocol is always recommended. When NOT to use the ultrasound device? Absolute contraindications: malignant tumor in the treated area, active thrombosis or thrombophlebitis, hematoma, acute infection or sepsis, presence of a pacemaker. Areas to avoid: eyes and surrounding area, directly over the heart, over glands, during pregnancy over the abdomen and pelvic area. Time restriction: do not treat areas that received radiotherapy for 6 months. Relative contraindication: severe osteoporosis – consult your physician. When in doubt always seek your treating physician's opinion! How does the MediSound 3000 differ from other ultrasound devices? The MediSound 3000 operates with dual frequency (1 MHz and 3 MHz). 1 MHz is suitable for deeper tissues while 3 MHz is for superficial cosmetic applications. In addition, the professional 3 W/cm² output and the 49 pre-programmed treatments distinguish it from simpler devices. The waterproof transducer (IP67) is another plus. What is the difference between 1 MHz and 3 MHz frequencies? Ultrasound frequency determines penetration depth. 1 MHz (lower frequency) penetrates deeper – ideal for deeper muscles and large joints (lower back, hip, shoulder, knee). 3 MHz (higher frequency) reaches more superficial tissues – optimal for cosmetic applications and smaller, superficial areas (face, neck, décolleté, hands). How often can I use the device? Treatment frequency depends on the treated condition and medical advice. General guidance: one treatment per day, up to 10 minutes per palm-sized area. Treatment cycles typically last 2–4 weeks. The device is designed for continuous operation, but the treated area needs rest. Always follow your treating physician's instructions for specific protocols. How does underwater treatment work? The transducer has IP67 protection, so it can be submerged. If touching the treated area is painful, immerse the body part (e.g. hand, foot) in water at approx. 37°C, then direct the transducer at the area from 1–2 cm distance. Water transmits the ultrasound. Important: bubbles may form in tap water and reflect the waves – remove them regularly from the skin surface and the head. When can results be expected from treatments? Therapeutic ultrasound works gradually. Clinical experience and research indicate that favorable changes are usually felt after 2–4 weeks of regular use. Results vary by individual and depend on the nature of the treated condition, treatment regularity and other factors. Therapeutic ultrasound is an adjunct to medical treatment and does not replace it. When NOT to use the device? Malignant tumor in or near the treated area Hematoma – ultrasound may promote embolism formation Thrombophlebitis, active thrombosis Acute infection, sepsis in the treated area – the infection may spread Area treated with radiotherapy – do not treat for 6 months Children with growing bones – avoid over the epiphysis Eye area and immediate vicinity During pregnancy over the abdomen and pelvic area Directly near the heart and large vessels, over glands Implanted pacemaker or other electrical implant Severe osteoporosis (relative contraindication – consult your physician) Unsure? Consult your treating physician before use! Important information Therapeutic ultrasound is a complementary method – it does not replace medical treatment or prescribed medications. Results vary by individual. Possible side effects: Mild, transient redness of the treated area; pleasant warmth; rarely transient pain increase (reduce intensity). If you experience a burning sensation, stop the treatment immediately! The device is CE IIa medical device certified (Kiwa Cermet Italia n° 0476). It is intended as a complement to medical treatment. It does not replace specialist care. Effects described may vary individually. Consult your treating physician in case of complaints.
