The “Non-Surgical” Face lift

What is microcurrent?

Microcurrent is a safe and effective non-invasive technology used in age management facials that utilizes a low level of electricity to stimulate the face. Microcurrent facials result in skin that is firm, contoured, and hydrated. Applications can be enjoyed as a one time facial, or in a series for improved comprehensive results.

How it works:

Microcurrent is an extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical current. Because this low level of electricity is subsensory, treatments are comfortable and painless. Together with proven application techniques, microcurrent technology offers clients a natural solution to the age management fight.

From the biochemical side, studies show that microcurrent stimulates the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (Cheng, et al. 1982). ATP is the powerhouse that provides energy for key functions, including protein synthesis which aides in collagen and elastin production.

Microcurrent helps with:

  • Improve skin quality (greater tone, smoother texture, healthier glow)

  • Reduce crows feet, wrinkles and eliminate fine lines

  • Lift the jowls and eyebrows and accentuate cheekbones

  • Reduce dark circles and eye bags

  • Promotes 12% increase in collagen production, Which plumps the skin and helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Supports scar repair by breaking up scar tissue and collagen remodeling

What does it feel like?

Microcurrent is an extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical current. Because this low level of electricity is subsensory, treatments are comfortable and painless.

Rapid Results!

Microcurrent facials are a fabulous one time service, and greatest improvement will be seen with a series. Depending on client individual goals, a typical series is 4-15 treatments over a 4-12 week period of time. Maintenance facials should be scheduled once a month thereafter.

Is Microcurrent for everyone?

Microcurrent is for use on healthy faces by healthy people. Individuals who fall into the below categories should not receive microcurrent facials. Clients who have past or present health concerns or questions not listed must consult with their physician to determine if microcurrent is right for them.

Contraindications to microcurrent use:

  • Pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices

  • Epilepsy

  • Pregnancy (client or esthetician)

  • Cancer

  • Thrombosis

  • Phlebitis

  • Metal plates or pins in the application area

  • Under a physician’s care for a disorder, illness, disease, or injury

DO NOT use microcurrent if any contraindication is present.

What’s the difference between a handheld or home use units and professional microcurrent machines?

While handheld and home units are novel, they are often imported gadgets that do not have the engineering and manufacturing standards behind them to support safety and results. Many use high levels of electricity that can be damaging and detrimental.

The professional microcurrent equipment is programmed with exclusive technology for proven results. This technology is engineered with proprietary waveshape, frequency, and output calculations. The Professional Microcurrent Machine is an ISO 9001 and 13485 certified manufacturer, and all microcurrent equipment is FDA approved and made in the USA.

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

With each treatment, ATP levels are stockpiled or stored, which is why microcurrent facial treatments are cumulative and become better as a series of treatments progresses.  A single microcurrent treatment will deliver up to 72 hours of lift in the initial treatment, then 3-4 days as you reach your 4th or 5th treatment.  By the 6th or 8th treatment, muscle memory takes over and progress becomes more rapid and longer lasting, until only a booster treatment is needed every 4-6 weeks to maintain the results. This is called “muscle re-education.”  This dramatic increase of ATP levels allows muscles to stay in the re-educated positions for longer periods of time.
