Micro-current treatments deliver anti-aging, skin rejuvenating benefits that not only slow the aging process down, but when started early enough, may delay or totally eliminate the need for more invasive treatments. Although not considered a replacement for surgical procedures, micro-current treatments reach well below the epidermal layer, the dermal layer and the muscular level, providing visible results.
How Micro-current treatments work
The body is a machine that is run by electrical impulses. Muscles and skin are related to this electrical system. Micro-currents work in harmony with the natural bioelectrical currents found in the body.
As electrical stimuli slow down as we age, the skin loses its suppleness and elasticity while the underlying muscles lose their tone, resulting in sagging skin.
Micro-currents are able to reconstruct or re-educate muscle tissue, stretching or tightening as necessary, providing beneficial results, treating aging skin on three levels, the epidermal layer, the dermal layer and the muscular level:
Phase 1 – this phase stimulates lymph and blood circulation, oxygenates the skin and increases cellular turnover
Phase 2 – consists of restoring initial tone to muscles and stimulating the production of collagen
Phase 3 - a specially formulated nutritive, antioxidant gel is used to provide vital nutrients essential to the production of elastin and collagen

As with any treatment, age, lifestyle and skin condition will determine the number of treatments needed to achieve the desired results. Improvement is generally seen right away, but a series of treatments may be needed to achieve lasting results
