What is the Lunchtime Facelift?

A non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic technique that safely and effectively improves the appearance and health of the skin? It’s true, a Microcurrent treatment, also known as the lunchtime facelift uses technologies developed in the medical and physiotherapy fields to activate the skin’s natural chemicals responsible for health and vitality. Microcurrent facial sculpting provides satisfying aesthetic results with less risk of side effects compared to a traditional facelift. The Microcurrent facelift procedure is proven effective and safe, delivering results at a fraction of the cost of traditional procedures.

Microcurrent technology is the only aesthetic treatment available that can physically firm and tone the skin through muscle re-education. This process of a gentle re-education’ of the fine facial muscles stimulates them with very small amounts of electricity. Microcurrent is a specific amount of electricity that mirrors the body’s own natural current and works in harmony with the body’s electrical system. By reproducing the body’s own biological current we can re-establish muscle memory naturally. Muscle re-education is most related to the term “facial toning”. There are 32 different muscles of the face that are manipulated during the average microcurrent treatment

Microcurrent facial sculpting is gentle, relaxing, and painless, with no recovery time. The face is cleansed, and collagen/elastin serum applied to the skin. Cotton-tipped contact wands are carefully placed over acupressure points, transmitting painless micro currents to stimulate the underlying muscles. The face and neck are then gently stroked in specific motions to tone the muscles, firm the skin and ionize nutrients deep into the cells of the skin. The microcurrent facial device is applied to key muscles and skin tissues to stimulate movements and give the muscles a mini workout.’ This helps to tone and tighten the muscles over a short period of time, and may prevent many signs of the aging process such as wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin from forming. It is considered a facial ‘sculpting’ procedure that doesn’t cause injury to the dermis.

Microcurrent seems to be uniquely effective in rebuilding thinner parts of the skin, filling in wrinkles and lifting sagging muscles because of its ability to regenerate tissue by stimulating cellular physiology and growth.  Microcurrent facial sculpting works most efficiently on well-hydrated skin, and adequate water intake prior to treatment is essential.

The benefits of Microcurrent facial sculpting include:

* Reduction of fine lines, creases and wrinkles

* Hydration and revitalization, resulting in smoother and softer skin

* Improvement of blood circulation and lymphatic drainage

* Rejuvenating restoration of the “pink glow” of youthful tones

* Visible firming and contouring, lifting overall drooping features

* Tightening of sagging jowls, doubling chins and fatty cheeks

* Shrinking of enlarged pores

* Reduction of blackheads and acne

* Reduction of dark circles and puffiness under eyes

* Reduction of the symptoms from Eczema, Melasma and Rosacea

All of this without the usual risks…no redness, no harmful side-effects, no wounding, no abrasion, no soreness, and no pain. Call today to schedule a consultation, (480) 832 – SKIN (7546).
