What do microcurrent facials 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.
What is the typical number of services a client receives?
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 4-8 treatments over a 4-8 week period of time. Maintenance facials should be scheduled once a month thereafter.
You can add-on microcurrent to any of our facials as an add-on service. Microcurrent is a low-level current that mimics our body's natural current and can provide both instant and cumulative anti-aging results. Microcurrent technology uses gentle electrical stimulation to trigger the body's natural response at both cellular and muscular levels. Microcurrent is a safe and effective technology for those who wish to attain and maintain a healthier, younger looking appearance. This treatment helps with toning, lifting, wrinkle reduction and is effective in improving the areas around the eyes, cheeks, chin and jawline.
Are microcurrent facials right 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.
Treatments are a safe effective alternative to more aggressive medical procedures. Our treatments are painless, non invasive and completely holistic.
We use the Bio-Ultimate Platinum Microcurrent facial equipment.
The Importance of True Microcurrent
When it comes to electrical current and the skin, the “more is better” paradigm is clearly incorrect. Unfortunately, it’s a popular approach for some equipment suppliers because of the ability to achieve temporary, short-term results with low quality machines.
Unlike other technologies in the skin care arena, microcurrent is subsensory and invisible, so it is difficult for a skin therapist to visually evaluate. This is why it is absolutely critical to work with a manufacturer who has demonstrated long standing technological skill with the technology, and has established trust in maintaining exceptional quality standards, executes all aspects of engineering and manufacturing, and provides the robust training needed to get the most out of this transformative technology.
The human body is an extremely subtle electrical system, and haphazardly delivering large charges of electricity to the skin surface may cause gross muscle contractions, temporarily resulting in a tightened appearance. (For those of you who did dissection in high school biology, think of the electrical charge on the frog leg!). However, this approach ultimately fatigues the musculature and can lead to increase muscle laxity and loss of skin tone, exactly the opposite of the intended result.
