Microcurrent
PREVENTATIVE AND CORRECTIVE ANTI-AGING
Microcurrent is a safe and effective preventative and corrective treatment for aging skin that 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
Increase in cellular energy (ATP) to muscle cells leading to increased muscular tone and cell repair
Increase in natural collagen production to increase hydration and fullness
Increase in natural elastin production
The microcurrent facial 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.
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 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.
The number of sessions depends on the client’s 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, once a month.
- 30 – 40 years old: Preventative/Corrective, Initial series of 6, once per week, then Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
- 40 – 50 years old: Corrective, Initial series of 8-12, once to twice per week, then Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
- 50 – 60 years old: Corrective, Initial series of 12-15, once to twice per week, then Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
- 60 plus years old: Corrective, Initial series of 15-18, ideally twice per week,
then 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.
