Microcurrent

A microcurrent facial is often referred to as a “natural” facelift. This treatment 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. Microcurrent has been around for decades, especially in physical therapy, it is very safe, effective, and targeted; increasing the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by as much as 500%. Increased levels of ATP speed cellular metabolism, stimulate protein synthesis, promote detoxification and reconstitute collagen and elastin.

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 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.

A microcurrent facial is ideal for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their skin, whether they are more focused on an anti-aging or preventative treatment because it covers all the bases. It is safe and effective on all skin types and skin colors.Pregnant womenand people with any kind of heart condition should avoid this treatment. As always, discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities with your practitioner before starting a treatment.

The microcurrent facial uses two hand held prongs that deliver precise dosages of energy to the skin. As the practitioner methodically moves the prongs around your face, you may feel a slight tingling sensation, but most say it’s surprisingly relaxing. Of course clients can expect all the other pleasures of a classic facial incorporated into the microcurrent facial, such as cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and facial massage.

There is no downtime and you can immediately go about your day…glowing like you’ve never glowed before. If you’ve had the treatment as part of the Ultimate HolisticFacial, clients may notice some redness (due to increased blood flow stimulation), which generally subsides within a few hours.

Results show within minutes of getting the treatment...after your first treatment, clients’ skin will feel firmer, glowing, more uplifted and will appear tightened and hydrated. Clients can expect their jaw line definition, pronounced cheekbones, and eyes to look younger and refreshed. However, the initial results are rather fleeting and generally subside in a week or two.

Results are cumulative, so after a series of sessions, the improvements are more noticeable and longer lasting. For sustained results, the recommended course of treatment is a series of 5-10 treatments within the first 8 weeks, followed by a 3-month maintenance schedule.

You can book a single Ultimate Microcurrent Facial + Holistic Facial or a series of Microcurrent ‘No-Tox Botox’Lift (5 sessions) over 2-3 weeks depending on desired results.

Because the immediate results are apparent immediately, microcurrent facials are a must-have treatment before a big event where you want to look your best.
