Microcurrent - Non-Surgical Face-lifts
See also Light Therapy Face-lifts

Your facial muscles undergo constant wear and tear, from laughing, crying, talking and eating. Over time, the skin loses it's elastic and youthful appearance and signs of aging begin to set in. Is your face showing signs of drooping and sagging? Have the fine lines made their appearance around your eyes and mouth? For centuries, various techniques have been used to keep skin from aging. For those who do not wish to go under the scalpel, we offer a non invasive technique to promote cellular repair and blood circulation, thereby lifting years off your face and neck.

A microelectronic personal face-lift is a non-invasive procedure that uses the latest state-of-the-art microcurrent technology to restore the skin’s tonicity. By increasing skin circulation and metabolism, improving skin tone, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and increasing hydration and nourishment of the skin will make the face look healthier, younger, toned and refreshed.

This technique is not electro muscle stimulation ( EMS). Instead, Microcurrent frequency follows the Arndt-Schulz Law and provides the microcurrent facial treatment known as hormesis. Robert Picker, MD used the Arndt-Schulz Law to support the therapeutic benefits of microcurrent therapy. Low microcurrent tends to increase circulation, oxygenate the blood and improve the tonality of the skin.

During a session, we are able to isolate approximately 30 muscles of the face. By stimulating muscle fibers with low electrical impulses, we are able to restore proper tone to the facial muscles.

Microcurrent Therapy - Microcurrent non-surgical facelift uses microcurrent electricity to accelerate cellular repair. Microcurrent stimulates muscles of the face and neck. Studies have shown increased production of collagen and improved blood circulation after microcurrent treatment for anti-aging. Microcurrent cause facial muscles to flex and relax, thereby strengthening and toning them. Lift up jaw lines, reduce jowls and reduce double chin with this non-surgical skin repair therapy.

Microcurrent maintains or increases muscle tone in three ways:

Circulation: By increasing circulation, we are able to provide the muscles with the nutrients they need to maintain tonus. The tissue is flooded with blood, which provides nutrition and removes waste products. The proper chemical balance is achieved and the tissue becomes healthier.

Micro-Contraction: By stimulating a nerve with electrical impulses, we are able to cause a micro-contraction in a muscle that allows for tightening or relaxation of the muscle. This process rejuvenates the muscles and returns them to the proper tonus.

Cerebral Effect: By exciting the nerves of the peripheral nervous system, we are able to imitate the neuro impulses that create and maintain muscle tone. This effect "reminds" the brain to initiate more of these impulses. This effect lasts for 24 – 48 hours and is why you see an increased effect after a few hours or overnight. In a series of microcurrent treatments, this effect is cumulative.

Reduce the signs of aging…

Your face is your most important asset in your daily life. It's how people remember you and describe you. In this respect, it's much better to be thought of as youthful and energetic, rather than wrinkled and old. That's why more and more people are trying microcurrent face lifts, because they are much less of a commitment and lack the risks of surgical face lifts.

There is a surge among middle-aged and older Americans wanting to maintain a younger look and vitality. As we age the lower third of our face and neck are the most noticeable. Microcurrent treatments have gaining popularity as an alternative method to surgery, chemical peels, botox, restyline, radiance, and collagen injections. Microcurrent probes are placed at empirical points on the face and body that result in the increase of collagen production, thereby tightening the existing fibers. Facial tissue is left more supple and smooth, and lines are minimized or removed.

Microcurrent Facial Treatments

Each treatment includes Naprapathic Connective Tissue Manipulation / microcurrent treatment to enhance the benefits of your face lift and your immune system.

A course of treatments includes two sessions per week, consisting of four to six weeks of treatment. Each individual will respond differently to the treatment depending on their age and lifestyle. Visible results may be noticeable after 3-6 treatments; many see results after the 1st treatment. Maintenance treatments maybe needed periodicity, depending on age and lifestyle. Allow about 45 -60 minutes per treatment. Results can last anywhere from two to four years.

Facial muscle tightening through micro-current energy is incredibly effective and provides for an immediate result. As with all forms of exercise, however, facial muscle toning requires upkeep and a regular schedule of visits

As we age, our collagen fibers stretch or become damaged as the result of a variety of causes, which can include sun exposure or simply gravity. By stimulating and restoring the natural process of creating collagen we can reset the physiological clock without ever cutting the skin or causing discomfort.

Technology has also provided a means of tightening lax skin. With the use of microcurrent, collagen becomes constricted in order to produce a tightening effect.

Get ready to become the new you! With the benefit of these new revolutionary energy based technologies, you truly can reset the hands of time.  

Alternatives
While not a replacement for surgery, Cosmetic Microcurrent is an excellent alternative. It is far less costly than cosmetic surgery. It is also safe, as it requires no drugs or injections and produces minimal side effects, if any. There is a slight chance of temporary local bruising, which should disappear within three days or less.

Who are not good Candidates
Some patients may not be good candidates for non-surgical face lifts, including persons with pacemakers, heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, migraine headaches, bleeding disorders, pregnancy and some pituitary disorders. Please consult with your health practitioner.
