It is a gentle electrical stimulation that triggers the body's natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level. Clinical studies have shown that after twenty days of treatment collagen production increases by 14%, elastin increases by 48%, and blood circulation increases by 38%. Scientists have also found that microcurrent facelift treatments trigger the body's production of amino acids and adenosine triphosphste (ATP) which accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production.

Microcurrent is a low level of electrical current that mirrors body's own natural current, which is sub sensory in most causes and therefore barely noticeable. A good comparison of how low microcurrent is: it would take one million microcurrent machines to light a 40 watt light bulb. It is difficult for the sensory nerves receptors to be stimulated by such low current. Microcurrent uses microamps (Ua); there are 1,000 microamps in a milliamp (mA). True Microrrent uses less than 500 microamps.

The number of treatments 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. Typically clients will notice a reduction in facial aging.

30-35 years old: 4-6 treatments, 1 time per week. Maintenance very 6-8 weeks.
35-40 years old: 6-10 treatments, 2 times per week. Maintenance every 6-8 weeks.
40-50 years old: 8-12 treatments, 2-3 times per week. Maintenance every 4-8 weeks.
50-60 years old: 12-15 treatments, 2-3 times per week. Maintenance every 4-8 weeks.
60+ years old: 15 treatments, 3 times per week. Maintenance every 4 weeks.

Younger clients can seek a microcurrent facelift to prevent some of the aesthetic effects of aging. Older clients will minimize lines, wrinkles, and improve skin tone and texture. It is known as the red Carpet treatment, the lunchtime lift for its immediate results and no downtime. It is the most effective treatment before any important event.

Microcurrent is used by aestheticians to deliver a variety of benefits to clients expecting to attain a healthier, younger looking appearance. Results are immediately seen after the first application and continue to improve with each subsequent application. It has cumulative effect. Microcurrent is performed to achieve the following:

• Improve muscle tone in face and neck
• Lift jowls and eyebrows
• Skin exfoliation
• Sun damaged treatment
• Increase product penetration
• Reduce wrinkles and eliminate fine lines
• Improve facial circulation

Utilizing both technologies maximize the end result. We recommend microcurrent treatments 2 weeks after your Botox injection.

Anyone with the following conditions should not be treated with Microcurrent: pacemaker, pregnancy, thrombosis, phlebitis, epilepsy or cancer.
