What is Microcurrent?

Have you ever wondered how you can tighten and tone your face, without having to step foot in a gym or pay thousands of dollars on an invasive surgical face lift? If so, then you should consider experiencing a microcurrent treatment. Microcurrent is a gentle low-level electrical current, used to mimic your body’s naturally occurring bioelectric currents. These currents help to contour the face by stimulating and tightening the facial muscles.

While this kind of facial technology may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, you should know that it has been used for more then 70 years as a medical treatment to help patients with Bell’s Palsy and muscle paralysis. You will not be able to see or hear the electrical current and most of my clients feel nothing while I gently apply the Nuface device over their face.

During the treatment a conductive gel is applied to the skin to help carry the electrical current down to the facial muscles. The microcurrent device then glides along the natural contours of your face while delivering low- level electrical current that works to stimulate and energize the facial muscles. The results from microcurrent can be seen immediately, making it a great treatment for those seeking a more youthful complexion in preparation for a special event.

Microcurrent is safe for all skin types and skin tones with little to no side effects. However; some people may experience a slight tingling sensation near the hairline, anywhere the conductive gel may have been applied too thin, or areas where the skin may be sensitive or dehydrated. While microcurrent is a gentle low level current, this treatment is not recommended for pregnant women, anyone with a heart condition or metal implant such as a pacemaker, epilepsy (3,4,5), or if you are currently undergoing treatments for cancer.

Need a lift? Ask about incorporating microcurrent into your cusomized facial and leave with noticeably younger looking skin, without having to break a sweat!
