Microcurrent

Microcurrentis a low-level current that mimics the body’s natural ionic flow1 and has been clinically tested to safely and effectively address a variety of skin concerns. Because microcurrent works virtually without sensation, the treatment is soothing and most clients feel nothing at all. Microcurrent treatments are popular in the beauty indus- try for providing both instant and cumulative results.

Microcurrent at various outputs and waveforms has been clinically shown to:
* Stimulates the recovery of damaged tissue
* Re-educate the muscles
* Improve muscle tone and contour in the face/neck * Temporarily improve local circulation
* Aid in lymphatic drainage
* Enhance product penetration
* Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
* Firm and tighten skin

Microcurrent is capable of facial stimulation, sending soft, gentle waves through the skin and down to the facial muscles. This gentle wave of energy is nearly identical to your body’s natural ionic flow and has been shown to increase ATP (bodies cellular energy) concentration up to 400%, while simultaneously stimulating protein synthesis and promoting amino acid transport2.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the main energy fuel source for our cells and is needed for muscle contraction and relaxation. It also encourages the production of key structur- al proteins, such as collagen which acts like a scaffolding to support the skin’s structure3 and elastin that provides the recoil necessary within the skin to snap back into place4.

As we age, our skin’s natural ability to manufacture these protein fibers reduces, giving way to the multiple signs of aging. ATP’s increased production of proteins and amino acids during facial stimulation helps to energize and tone facial muscles over time—just like how exercise energizes and strengthens the muscles of our body. Unlike anywhere else on the body, the facial muscles are directly connected to the skin, so the result of energizing the muscle is often improved, providing a smooth and lifted appearance.
