WHAT IS MICROCURRENT?

HOW DOES MICROCURRENT WORK?

Microcurrent is one of the hottest innovations in the anti-aging industry and is used in top spas and medical offices for facial contouring, toning and firming of aging skin. As we age, the muscles in our face start to set to our expressions or weaken from never being used. This can lead to sagging and wrinkles, especially in the furrow between the brows. It can also affect the skin around our jaw lines, chin and neck. By age 45, the upper cheek muscles may elongate by as much as half an inch, causing the skin on the face to drag downward and the muscles under the chin to lose contour.

Our Microcurrent therapy “re-educates” the muscles to lift the face, strengthen elastin, and tighten the skin, ultimately reducing the appearance of sagging and wrinkles. Microcurrent treatments stimulate the 32 different facial muscles with the application of low-level electrical current to certain restorative acupuncture points. Probes are used to position the muscles back to their natural position and re-engage them through the process of lengthening and shortening. Often referred to as the “5 Minute Face-lift”, the Microcurrent Facial provides dramatic results, instantaneously, and is a safe alternative to other more invasive and surgical procedures. Microcurrent can stimulate cellular physiology and growth, but is NOT the same as a surgical face lift.

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.
