MICROCURRENT

What is Microcurrent? A simple answer is that it can be the quickest & most pain-free way to rejuvenate the skin, lift facial muscles, and diminish fine lines & wrinkles.”

Microcurrent technology is the only aesthetic treatment available that can physically firm and tone the skin through muscle re-education. The process of gentle re-education of the fine facial muscles stimulates them with very small amounts of energy via electricity or battery .

Microcurrent is a specific amount of energy that mirrors the body's own natural current and works in harmony with the body's system.

Microcurrent triggers a reaction at the cellular level increasing ATP (the cells energy life), Elastin and Collagen. Microcurrent stimulates the facial tendons aiding them to strengthen the muscles thereby bringing definition back to the face.

By reproducing the body's own biological current we can re-establish muscle memory.

Microcurrent treatments are sub-sensory for the most part, meaning you won't feel anything uncomfortable during treatment.  Slight tingling is perfectly normal.

It is a safe, non-invasive treatment with no downtime and without the cost of expensive surgery. Treatments are cumulative meaning you will have to do a series of treatments . 2-3  per week then a monthly maintenance as desired .

Benefits of Microcurrent are:

• Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Improved muscle tone in face and neck

• Improved circulation

• Cleared up or reduced acne

• Lift of jowls and eyebrows

• Sun Damage Treatment

• Skin Pigmentation improvement

• Product Penetration

• Smoother, firmer skin

• Hydrated and revitalized skin

• Improved elasticity

• Increase in natural collagen production

• Increase in natural elastin production

• Increase in ATP

Using a True Microcurrent device with two probes allows the microcurrent technology to be delivered with the "Isolation or  Pinch-and-Hold" technique.

This means you can literally position the facial muscle to target microcurrent e every directly between the probes into the belly of the muscles you are working to re-educate.

So in order to initiate real communication between microcurrent and the muscles you really want to have a true Microcurrent with two applicators  or probes that allow you to pinch and hold or isolate the specific muscle.

It is not recommend that you use retinol the night before a microcurrent treatment. This is because it will remain in the skin and when microcurrent is performed over the skin it pushes the Retinol in deeper. Retinol tends to irritate the skin and when it is driven deeper into the skin by microcurrent,  it will cause more irritation after the treatment (usually the next day in the form of redness, puffiness, irritated skin).

It is also important not to use any type of chemical peel before a microcurrent treatment.

Microcurrent does not cause irritation on the skin, it is what is put on the skin "before" a treatment that can cause irritation.

Remember that Microcurrent is sub-sensory and should not  cause a physical or visual contraction of the muscle.

Twitching is a sign that you need to turn down the intensity. Twitching can cause a decrease in Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which is the energetic currency of a cell, and it is required for the cell to perform work of any kind. Twitching is also a sign of lactic acid build-up.  Generally clients choose to turn down intensity on the forehead and around the lips .

Microcurrent treatments using the right equipment and with the right knowledge should be very relaxing.

ABS+plated metal  is generally  used in development of microcurrent probes.

Some people may experience a metallic taste in their mouth .
