A gentle electronic facial that makes you look younger, requires no effort and doesn't hurt? Sound too good to be true? It’s not. Thanks to modern technology, it is now possible to have an effective face-lift without surgery. There are several non-surgical face-lift techniques available, but one of the quickest, least painful, and most cost effective is the microcurrent face-lift. Can a zap of electricity really chase the frown lines away? This procedure is minimally invasive--just a slight tingle, remarkably efficient, and it delivers the goods! Microcurrent facials are fast becoming the lift du jour on spa menus all over the country. No wonder Sharon Stone still looks like she did in “Basic Instinct” (and I don’t mean the dreadful sequal!)?
A microcurrent facelift utilizes microcurrent technology that uses gentle electrical stimulation to trigger the body's natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level. It works on all levels of the skin, soft tissue and muscle fibers, helping to speed up cellular activity and re-educate the muscle fibers. During a microcurrent face-lift, tiny electric currents are applied to the face, stimulating a natural cellular reaction. These gentle impulses encourage your body's own currents at a cellular level. Frown lines and wrinkles can sometimes be reduced, while skin tone and elasticity are dramatically improved. The effects of this stimulation are varied and include exfoliation and rejuvenation of the skin, tightening of the facial muscles, reduction of sun damage, and improvements in overall skin tone. By promoting the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, microcurrent face-lifts leave you with subtle but exceptional facial enhancement.
Clinical studies have shown that after twenty days of treatment collagen production increases by 14 percent, elastin increases by 48 percent, and blood circulation increases by 38 percent. Scientists have also found that microcurrent facelift treatments trigger the body's production of amino acids and ATP. Both of these accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production. Treatments cost betwen $100 to $300, and different salons use different devices. Wands are most popular, but gloves and electrode patches can also deliver the current.
The great thing about the microcurrent facelift is that it seems to work at any age, whether you’re trying to maintain your youthful appearance, or you need a quick fix for a night on the town without going broke. So jolt away those wrinkles.
