Have you experienced micro-current for your facial muscles?
This is a popular treatment in skincare centers, but you can also do it at home! It delivers a tighter, firmer look in a short amount of time.
You know how when you start working out your body, you start with low weights and build up from there, right? You’re making those muscles stronger. It’s the same in a sense with mico-current for the face muscles. You start off with a low current and over weeks, you increase the strength. The muscles get more defined and sculpted with each treatment.
I love little gadgets for skincare! Guasha, micro-needling, the facial roller are all amazing. Micro-current is different, and you are going to love it!
A little science
The nervous system is like a complex electrical network with a multitude of inputs and outputs. As we age, neurotransmitters and their corresponding neuroreceptors deteriorate and start to break down and do not perform as efficiently as they once did.
The side effects are both internal and external. Organs don’t function as well as they used to, and aging starts to make its appearance.
Ok, enough science. What does that all mean for you and your beautiful self? Let’s jump into the world of micro-current and find out!
What is micro-current really?
It’s a form of electrotherapy. In other words, it’s known as a workout for your facial muscles. The purpose is to retrain the muscles by delivering low-levels of electrical current in a sequence, or pattern with repeated movements. It’s really amazing in how it interacts with your cells. The body recognizes this low-level current as natural and therapeutic. It increases fibroblast production, which affects BOTH collagen and elastin levels.
What can you expect to see in your facial skin?
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and major improvement where the skin is starting to sag. I will say the “j” word. Jowls. Let’s get that lifted!
I would always take before and after pictures of my clients when they were getting micro-current treatments. The results were amazing that was noticeable to them and to other people!
Since micro-current increases circulation, the skin is more vibrant because of the increase of nutrients to the cells. The glow is back!
At home use
There are several devices on the market that give a really nice result. One of the most popular ones is called NuFace. There are new ones hitting the market, but NuFace has been around a long time, and it gets the job done!
It’s hand-held, with different levels of intensity. Start off low about 5x times a week for a couple of weeks and keep going up a level. It only takes about 5 minutes! Remember you retraining the muscle. You start off low, and as your muscle gets stronger, you power up a little more. Don’t use on bare skin though. You will need to apply a gel-like product first before you apply the current. A gel mask type of product works fine for this purpose.
What will you feel in your facial muscles with micro-current?
Little prickles. Does it hurt? No. It’s more of a sensation. The gel product minimizes the prickles, even more, so you can barely feel it. Afterwards, your muscles feel tighter, just like they got a little workout. Because they did! Technology is amazing?! Especially in skincare!
Ok, are you intrigued? If you want to power up your skincare, literally power it up, micro-current is the way to go!
Technolgy changes quickly in skincare. There is always a new and better gadget, or product ingredient that deliver big promises. Micro-current though will always be around because it works.
Give it a try and you will start to hear the question my clients were always asked by others. “Did you do something different to your face? You look amazing!” Share the love, and tell them about micro-curent!
Until next time,
