DermaSound Elite is an ultrasonic facial system marketed under the GlyMed Plus brand. GlyMed’s product education describes use of ultrasound and microcurrent with its skincare products.
The exact Elite hardware manufacturer remains unconfirmed; documentation for DermaSound Ultra should not be applied automatically to Elite. A January 2006 trade publication already described Elite, so its first release predates the former 2010 catalog date.

Registration evidence reconciliation 2026-10-07
Removed an unsupported registration label and unverified regulatory indication. Catalog source tables had no supporting FDA-status evidence; exact-name openFDA listing search returned no match. Search absence is not proof of absence. Dataset updated 2026-09-28; reviewed 2026-10-07. Broader DermaSound search found a different Ultra model; no cross-model authorization inferred. Prices and whole-profile verification dates unchanged.
