Microcurrent is a popular treatment for aging skin which uses low level electrical current to trigger the body’s skin chemicals at a cellular level providing firming and toning benefits that continue to improve with subsequent treatments.
Microcurrent can achieve the following benefits:
• Improve muscle tone in the face and neck
• Lift jowels and eyebrows
• Reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve facial circulation
• Aid in lymphatic drainage
• Enhance product penetration to treat multiple skin problems
• Smoother, firmer skin
• Hydrated and revitalized skin
• Improved elasticity
Some clinical studies have shown that after twenty days of Microcurrent treatments, collagen and elastin production increases and blood circulation improves. Scientists have also found that Microcurrent facelift treatments trigger the body’s production of amino acids and Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Both of these accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production.
Muscle re-education and product penetration are two ways to use Microcurrent for improved skin. There are 32 different muscles of the face that are manipulated during the microcurrent facial treatment. The treatment lifts, smoothes, tightens and tones. Probes are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform muscle re-education – the process of lengthening or shortening muscles. Having muscle re-education movements performed in a series re-trains the muscles to maintain this new contour. Microcurrent treatment allows the muscles the necessary energy to keep their tension in this new contour.
Since you are re-educating the muscle tissue, it is crucial that you receive a series of treatments for results to reach their maximum potential. Once a series is completed, the results can be maintained by by coming in every 4-8 weeks for maintenance treatments. Additionally, a series can be repeated every few years. If the full series of treatments is completed and maintenance sessions are continued on a monthly basis, results should last 3-4 years.
Microcurrent has been proven to provide the following:
• 500% increase in cellular energy (ATP) to muscle cells leading to increased muscular tone
• 12% increase in 20 days in natural collagen production to increase hydration and fullness
• 48% increase in 20 days in natural elastin production
• 39% increase in 20 days in blood circulation
The number of sessions depends on the client age and skin condition. The effects of microcurrent are immediate and cumulative. Clients go through a series of treatments followed by regular maintenance to keep a more youthful appearance. Each time a treatment is performed the new contour maintains its position better and longer.
The following are general and approximate guidelines for frequency of treatment:
• 20 – 30 years old: Preventative, to slow down the aging process
• 30 – 35 years old: Initial series of 6, once per week
Maintenance every 6-8 weeks
• 35 – 40 years old: Initial series of 8-10, once to twice per week
Maintenance every 6-8 weeks
• 40 – 50 years old: Initial series of 10-12, once to twice per week
Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
• 50 – 60 years old: Initial series of 12-15, once to twice per week
Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
• 60 plus years old: Initial series of 15-18, ideally twice per week
Maintenance every 4 weeks
Microcurrent is also perfect for special occasions or a quick pick-me-up for an instant lift lasting up to two days.
Contraindications: Individuals with the following should not receive microcurrent:
• Pacemaker
• Pregnancy
• Thrombosis
• Phlebitis
• Epilepsy
• Cancer
I have been using a Korean Gold Lifting mask along with the Microcurrent for even more impressive results. Before your session, it is important to drink lots of water to increase the conductivity and have better results. To schedule, visit our website: www.myperfectskinclinic.com
