Microcurrent

used in our NON SURGICAL Face Lift Facial

What is microcurrent?

In short, a microcurrent facial is an anti-aging skincare treatment. In other words, it’s a facial that’s focused on your skin and muscles. There are 43 facial and 26 muscles in your neck which naturally lose their tone or become tightened through repeating facial expressions and the ageing process. These muscles can then cause the closely lying skin to become wrinkled, such as around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Microcurrent utilises a low-grade electrical current to “train” all of those muscles. It contours, tones, firms and lifts the muscles and the skin. The result is a healthier complexion and a youthful lift.

How Does Microcurrent Work?

Microcurrent is capable of facial stimulation, sending soft, gentle waves through the skin and down to the facial muscles. Microcurrent has been shown to also stimulate ATP production. ATP is known as Adenosine triphosphate which drives the creation of key structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin. This increased ATP levels also benefit facial muscles which is particularly important as, unlike other areas of the body, the muscles of the face are directly connected to the skin - there isn’t the layer of subcutaneous fat to ‘plump out’ the skin as there is on other areas of the body. Working specifically with your facial structure and muscle tone, Microcurrent is a very effective answer to ageing skin concerns.

How is the treatment performed?

The microcurrent facial uses two hand held prongs that deliver gentle waves of current to the skin. As the practitioner methodically moves the prongs around your face, you may feel a slight tingling sensation, this is surprisingly relaxing. The treatment takes approximately 60 minutes and is combined with the application of bespoke skincare products, lymphatic drainage, and a deep cleanse.
