Microcurrent Facial Contouring & Lifting
This treatment has been called the “non-surgical facelift”. You will see instant results with each treatment. Microcurrent therapy is a way to stimulate the facial muscles with a small electrical current. That’s it! It is a simple, pain-free method that works with the body’s natural systems to re-energize the facial skin and muscles from a cellular level. The cumulative effect of this process, on the other hand, now that is where things get fascinating!
Benefits
- Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The facial muscles have the distinct responsibility of helping us create facial expressions. Because the muscles connect to both the bone and skin, they work to produce countless facial expressions. When we are consistent with microcurrent sessions, we are lifting or "tightening" the muscle, which in turn helps to tighten our skin. Improved muscle tone in face and neck.
- Improved circulation. Circulation is generally increased from any stimulation done to the surface of the skin. Blood flowing towards our skin brings oxygen and other nutrients that our skin requires to remain healthy. As it continues to circulate, the blood also removes carbon dioxide and wastes that the skin doesn't need.
- Cleared up and /or reduced acne. Microcurrent can help to clear up and reduce acne due to its processes oxygenating the skin and creating an unsustainable environment for bacteria to live.
- Sun Damage Treatment. Most sun damage comes in the form of dry and/or wrinkled skin. When using microcurrent you are infusing hydration back into the skin. With the help of water based serum's you can restore the moisture back into the skin on a deeper level since another benefit of microcurrent is the driving of products deeper into the skin, which we call an increase of “product penetration.” More on this below!
- Product Penetration. As stated above, anything you put on your skin before a microcurrent will be driven deeper into the skin. Applying hydrating serums, for example, before you apply conductivity gel and perform a microcurrent session will allow your skin to reap the full benefit of that serum. At least 30 minutes of microcurrent is recommended to help push those products deeper into the skin. Any type of products that will go deeper into the live layers (dermis) will give you a better result. Please note: this works both ways, so products that tend to irritate or work harshly on your skin should be avoided prior to a microcurrent facial. For example: Retinol products should not be used within the 24 hours leading up to your microcurrent facial.
- Skin Pigmentation improvement. Overall, improving skin pigmentation is a tricky topic. This is because there is a wide range of circumstances which cause pigmentation. Some pigmentation can be hormonal, some can be from sun damage. What you need to know is that when you are completing a consistent microcurrent series you are actively building ATP which helps to lighten and brighten the skin tone. For the best results targeting a specific trouble area of pigmentation you can use a water based serum that will directly address this issue and drive it down deeper into the skin.
- Smoother, firmer skin. Microcurrent works on the muscles of the face but is also working on the skin. As you use microcurrent on a consistent basis you are increasing the collagen/elastin in the skin, increasing hydration and increasing the ATP (energy) of the skin. These are three individual benefits that work together to result in smoother and firmer skin.
- Hydrated and revitalized skin. We know how important it is to stay hydrated by treating it internally -- drink lots of water and your skin will show it! It is also important to treat the skin externally with hydrating products. It's important to use products that will help to hold hydration such as hyaluronic acid. The benefits of keeping your skin hydrated will result in skin that is revitalized and plump.
