A microcurrent facial is often referred to as a “natural” facelift. “This safe and painless facial helps erase fine lines and wrinkles, while firming your skin and defining your features. It improves muscle tone, reduces puffiness, increases cellular activity, and tightens pores. The overall result is a healthier and younger looking skin, no matter your age.

Microcurrent technology has been around since the 1800’s as a treatment for damaged tissues and muscles. But when a physician of a Bell’s palsy patient noticed that the face of his patients appeared much smoother and younger looking after receiving microcurrent therapy, one of the world’s first high-tech aesthetic treatments was born.

A microcurrent facial emits extremely low-voltage electrical currents (hence ‘micro’ current), which mirror your own body’s electrical currents, on a cellular level to repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The intensity is so slight that it would take one million microcurrent machines to light a 40-watt light bulb. This treatment is often referred to as “facial toning” because it’s like a workout for your face, whereby skin cells are broken down and then grow back stronger, the same way your muscles do after lifting weights. “It works simultaneously to repair a product collagen in the dermis, the deepest layer of your skin, while gently erasing signs of aging in the epidermis, the top layer of your skin. According to studies, a microcurrent facial can increase collagen production up to 14%, elastin increases 48% and blood circulation goes up 38%”.

How and Why does the use of Micro-current help someone look younger?

1. As a result of increased perfusion, the skin experiences a renewed and rejuvenated look.
2. As a result of the underlying muscle stimulation, the skin will take on the appearance of greatly increased smoothness- EASILY noticeable.
3. The signal activates acupuncture points on the face that affect the entire body and generates a feeling of relaxation.
4. Microcurrent causes an increase in energy, which may be noticed as having a little more “spring in the step”.
5. Repeated use provides accumulative benefits. The results look better and last longer. One single use lasts up to 7 to 10 days. Twice weekly use maintains peak performance and appearance.
6. Results are immediate
7. Production of collagen and realignment of collagen in skin helps to reduce the appearance of scars/scar tissue.
8. Technology is non-toxic, non-invasive, has no side-effects, simple to use, can even be used over make-up, is portable (hand-held), can be used anywhere and anyplace user sees fit.

Eight Key Aspects of Microcurrent

1. Signal triggers brain’s repair response.
2. Increased perfusion at site.
3. Neuropeptides released and production ramped up. Results in pain relief and speeds healing.
4. Reduces Inflammation, swelling, edema – rapidly.
5. Increases ATP in Mitochondria.
6. Stimulates C-fibers- insures continued healing and pain reduction.
7. Increases Lymphatic drainage.
8. Continued use is Accumulative- pain relief lasts longer between uses; rate of healing maximized.
