What is Dr. Grandel Professional+ Ultrasound Hydro Gel?
Dr. Grandel Professional+ Ultrasound Hydro Gel is a conduction gel from the PROFESSIONAL+ line. Dr. Grandel built this line of treatment media for licensed estheticians running device-based facials.
The gel intensively moisturizes the skin and leaves it feeling pleasantly fresh and cool. At the same time, it provides a smooth, consistent glide. Cosmetic ultrasound heads need that glide to move across the skin without drag or friction.
Dr. Grandel also notes the gel works as a traditional 10-minute massage medium when a device isn’t part of the treatment. It is free from added colorants and fragrance, which keeps it gentle for repeated professional use.
Key benefits of Dr. Grandel Ultrasound Hydro Gel
- Built for ultrasound work: a consistency formulated to give cosmetic ultrasound equipment even, glide-friendly contact with the skin.
- Intensive hydration: a lightweight aqueous gel base helps the skin feel deeply moisturized during and after treatment.
- A cooling, fresh finish: clients feel a pleasant coolness while you work the gel in, which many find soothing mid-treatment.
- Sensitive-skin friendly: Dr. Grandel formulates it without colorants or fragrance so it’s well tolerated across skin types.
Key ingredients
The formula centers on Sodium Hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid. It binds water at the skin’s surface to support the gel’s moisturizing feel.
Sclerotium Gum and Xanthan Gum, both plant-derived thickeners, give the gel its smooth, glide-ready texture. In addition, Algin (derived from brown algae) helps stabilize that texture through a treatment.
Glycerin and Pentylene Glycol round out the humectant base. Finally, Caprylhydroxamic Acid and Citric Acid help preserve and balance the formula without relying on stronger preservative systems.
How to use Dr. Grandel Ultrasound Hydro Gel
- Cleanse the treatment area before beginning.
- Then apply a generous, even layer of gel to the skin.
- If you use a device, glide the cosmetic ultrasound device head over the gelled area. Without a device, massage in with gentle, traditional movements for about 10 minutes instead.
- When the treatment step is complete, remove any residue with a warm, damp cloth or towel.
- Follow with the next step of the protocol, such as a serum or mask appropriate to the client’s skin.
For external use only; avoid the eye area. Follow your device manufacturer’s own treatment guidelines alongside this gel.
Who it is for
This gel is for licensed estheticians and spas running cosmetic ultrasound protocols. It also suits sensitive skin well, thanks to its fragrance-free, colorant-free formula. It is sold and intended for professional treatment-room use rather than a retail at-home step.
Retail size vs. professional size
