MICRO-CURRENT FACIAL REJUVENATION

 Micro-Current Facial Rejuvenation is one of the most revolutionary, non-invasive facial

treatments currently available. The procedure actually stimulates the facial area to tighten

and tone, giving the contour of the face a visible lift.

Micro-current has been shown effective when used to assist with cellular healing and

regeneration. Studies show that Micro-current stimulates the body’s own natural

rejuvenating powers which are lost as we age. Over time, collagen and elastin weaken

leading to the physical signs of age such as fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone

discoloration, uneven skin texture. When facial muscles lose their youthful tone and skin

begins to fall and sag as a result. This is akin to a battery losing its charge. Micro-current

helps the body recharge itself into a more youthful electric state.

Micro-current emits subtle electrical frequencies that mimic the body’s own electrical

signals (it is therefore physiologic and safe.), thereby increasing the amount of ATP

(adenosine tri-phosphate, the chemical fuel of human cells) by as much as 500%. Such

increased levels of ATP speed cellular metabolism; the result is a detoxification that

increases the rate of waste and impurity elimination. Protein synthesis and cellular

membrane transport are also increased, as well as the reconstitution of collagen and

elastin.The results of these processes can be seen in improved skin tone and coloration, the

reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the firming of sagging areas of the face and

body. Besides the increase in ATP, protein synthesis, and cellular membrane transport, clinical

studies have consistently shown that Micro-current causes the following:

  •  35% increase in blood circulation
  •  40% increase in Gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose)
  •  60% increase in fibroblastic activity. Cells that produce collagen and elastin
  •  45% increase in the number of elastin fibers in the dermis
  •  50% increase in the length of the elastin fibers
  •  10% increase in collagen thickness in the connective tissue
  •  35% increase in the number of blood vessels
  •  28% increase lymphatic drainage

 With each treatment, ATP levels are stockpiled or stored, which is why Micro-current

Facial Treatment results are cumulative and become better as a series of treatments

progresses.

 Micro-current is sub sensory and should not be felt while it is being delivered, since there

is barely enough current to stimulate the sensory receptors. Results that can be expected

right after a micro-current facial are:

  •  Improved overall appearance of skin.
  •  Relaxed and energized feeling that comes from a gentle massage
  •  Provides firmer skin
  • Healthier appearance
  • Results are immediately noticeable and will last 7-10 days. (Remember Micro-current Treatment is a cumulative process)

 FAQ ON MICRO-CURRENT:

 Are there any side effects or down time after Micro-current Treatment?  No, there

is no side effect reported by Micro-current treatments. Unlike laser, Micro-current do not

rely on thermal energy sources; as result, there is no inflammation or redness, no

downtime or recovery time involved. You can reapply make-up and go on your day right

after treatment. Everyone can benefit from this remarkable non-surgical technology.

 How soon can I see results? - You will see noticeable improvements with Micro-

current. .As we mentioned earlier above, Micro-current treatment is a cumulative

procedure; major changes will be more lasting as your memorable facial strength is

achieved with continues treatments.

 How long do the results last?  Visible improvements are noticeable with only one

treatment; however, such results may only last 48-72 (Individual case may vary) hours in

the initial treatment, then 3-4 days as you reach your 4 or 5 treatment. By the 6 or 8

treatment, muscle memory takes over and progress becomes more rapid and longer

lasting, until only a booster treatment is needed every 6-8 weeks to maintain the results.

This is called “muscle re education”. We recommend our users to perform Micro-current

treatment 2 times per week for the first 5 weeks; follow by only a booster treatment is

needed every 2 months to maintain the results.

 Is Micro-current treatment recognizable in the beauty industry?  Micro-current has

been reported to be one of the hottest available in the market. In fact, industry expects

predicted Micro-current treatment to be as popular as Botox and Microdermabrasion.

Hollywood has chosen Micro-current treatment for celebrities in the weeks before the

Academy Awards. (Micro-current was featured on an episode of “Pre-Oscar Makeovers”)

 How is it performed?  By using 2 probes with cotton tips through which emits a very gentle micro-

currentpulses that promotes collagen and elastin production in your skin As the cotton tipped

probes glide over very specific acupuncture points and muscles on your face, circulation

is stimulated. The treatment is performed in a very individualized and specific sequence

depending on your face and needs. The buildup in ATP explains the lasting effects of

micro-current on re-educating the facial muscles to tighten and tone.

 If you’re wishing to turn back the clock a bit but aren't interested in undergoing surgery,

this treatment is for you!
