Microcurrent Therapy
WHAT IS IT?
Microcurrent is often referred to as a ‘mini facelift’. Microcurrent technology was originally used by doctors as a treatment to repair the damaged tissues in patients with Bell’s Palsy. It is now recognized as one of the best innovations in the anti-aging industry and is used by aestheticians to perform facial tightening and toning. Microcurrent therapy improves muscle tone, reduces puffiness, increases cellular activity, and stimulates collagen and elastic production. It is a safe and has no harmful side effects. It is completely painless, and requires no downtime.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Microcurrent emits a low level of electrical current that mirrors your own body’s own electrical current. Most microcurrent devices use two hand held prongs that deliver precise dosages of energy to the skin. This process gently stimulates and re-educates the facial muscles, which minimizes the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles and gives your skin a ‘lifted’ look.
Because Microcurrent works best on hydrated, exfoliated skin, it is highly effective when paired with other facial treatments, such as the HydraFacial®. Think of Microcurrent as your exercise, treating skin from the inside out, while a HydraFacial and home care is your nutrition, treating skin from the outside in.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Whether it’s to reverse the signs of aging or just for preventative purposes, microcurrent is ideal for anyone looking to improve the appearance of their skin. It is safe and effective on all skin types and skin colors.
Microcurrent therapy should be avoided by pregnant women, those with active cancer, heart conditions, history of seizures or epilepsy, or those have electrical stimulatory devices such as a pacemaker.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Just one Microcurrent treatment is a perfect for a special occasion! Lifting results can last anywhere from one week to one month. Microcurrent facial toning is cumulative as well, which means that the more treatments you have, the better the results. A series of 10 treatments – two per week for five weeks is recommended for results to reach their maximum potential.
