The microcurrent treatment is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that uses low electric currents passed through facial tissues to produce several therapeutic effects such as facial muscle toning and micro-lifting of the whole face.

This treatment works by passing a very small direct current through the skin and muscle tissue to stimulate them. The technology prompts the face to lift and tone the muscles naturally, by gently contracting and releasing them as well as massaging deep tissues.

Since it took more than a few years for gravity and the aging process to pull the skin and muscles down, it may take a few treatments to reverse this drooping effect. The results become more dramatic as your treatments progress.

Microcurrent requires a series of treatments to achieve maximum lifting benefits depending on your age, skin condition and health. The treatment is painless, even relaxing, and requires no down time. It does not interfere with normal daily activities and requires only 20 min of patient’s time.

Microcurrent treatment may produce remarkable results listed below:

• May help tighten facial muscles and skin
• May help improve collagen production and skin elasticity
• May help stimulate blood circulation
• My help increase skin hydration and revitalization
• May help diminish appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• May help reduce dark circles under the eyes

Ultrasonic skin tightening is an aesthetic procedure that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate subdermal collagen production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin. During the skin tightening treatment ultrasound energy transmits deep into the skin tissues and helps to contract the dermis and collagen resulting in wrinkle reduction and the production of new collagen and elastin.

Another important beneficial effect of ultrasound treatment is that it may help stimulate blood circulation. This may result in overall skin tissue rejuvenation and tightening of sagging skin.

With new technology, our estheticians and nurses have a chance to combine Microcurrent and Ultrasonic skin tightening into one unique treatment to amplify the benefits of both procedures. Microcurrent / Ultrasonic skin tightening treatment is a safer, less expensive alternative to surgical face lifts and has become known as a “non-surgical facelift”.

In many cases, this treatment produces immediately noticeable results. Microcurrent / Ultrasonic face treatments are conducted in a series of treatments, one to two weeks apart. The treatment is very relaxing, and no recovery time is needed after the treatment.

Results may become apparent immediately, but their maximum effect appears in one-two months after the treatment cycle is over. This procedure can be a good alternative for skin tightening and rejuvenation without the risks, pain or downtime of surgery and injectables. Results may be long lasting, and treatments may be undergone again if it’s necessary. To find out more about Microcurrent and Ultrasonic facelift please contact Dermatology & Laser Surgery office
