Microcurrent
Microcurrent is low level current that mimics
the body's natural electrical currents, triggering chemical reactions at a
cellular level to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin and
provide circulatory benefits.
The result is immediate, firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while
reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Clinicians can
sculpt or contour the face and body with microcurrent. This procedure is preventative for younger clients and
rejuvenating for mature clients. It is a non-invasive treatment that
gives you the option for anti-aging without the recover
and expense of surgeries and other aggressive treatments.
Recent microcurrent studies performed at the University of
Washington School of Medicine, indicate a 14% increase in the production of natural collagen, a 48%
increase in natural elastin production, and a 38% increase in blood circulation
over the course of 20 days.
