There are many different variations of high frequency machines currently being used today. All high frequency facial machines function by using a glass high frequency electrode which comes in many different shapes and sizes to treat various contours of the face and body. When applied to the surface of the skin, a mild electrical current passes through the neon or argon gas filled glass electrode causing it to submit a subtle glow and buzzing noise. The electrodes produce either a neon red/orange light or violet/blue light depending on the inert gas that they are filled with. Traditionally acne prone skin is treated with violet and aging skin has been treated with red, however recent studies show that both are effective regardless of skin care concern. During the high frequency treatment enriched oxygen molecules are produced which have an anti-bacterial action as well as a “natural” thermal tissue warming. That reaction causes a natural contraction of underlying blood vessels and in tiny muscle groups which push away toxins, while the cells in your skin are enriched with nutrients and hydrating volume. This in turn creates an increase in blood circulation and cell renewal that aids in the support of increased levels of collagen and elastin. The skin is left feeling instantly energized, rosy, firm refreshed and noticeably softer- even after just one treatment!  

High frequency has been proven to be effective on almost any skin lesion from acne and burns, to waxing procedures and cold sores. It helps to quickly heal and restore the skins’ health. High frequency facials are considered a safe and gentle therapeutic approach to skin rejuvenation. Always be sure to talk with your skin care provider first to be sure if high frequency is right for you as there are few contraindications.

Used as needed

Micro-Current is also particularly effective in treating acne as it destroys the bacteria, while encouraging the healing process without harming healthy skin. This treatment will also soften scar tissue.

The effects last for 72 hours, but the more treatments the longer the effects last. 

I recommend a series of treatments for those who are serious about maintaining the amazing, uplifted results. When these powerful muscle lifting sessions are done 2 times per week for a period of 3-6 weeks, the lifting results are cumulative. The uplifted position of the muscles will stay in it’s re-educated position. One treatment per month after will support these revitalized results.

Micro-Current Info

The microcurrent facial is a therapeutic treatment that delivers safe, painless, low-level electrical impulses to strategic locations under the skin to firm and tone the facial muscles on both an immediate and long-term basis. The technology simultaneously repairs collagen in the dermis (the deepest layer of the skin), while gently erasing signs of aging in the epidermis (the top layer of skin). As we age, our electrical impulses slow down causing aging and sagging facial skin. Microcurrent technology works in harmony with the natural bio-electrical currents naturally found in our bodies to help speed up the cellular regenerative process resulting in firmer, healthier, more youthful looking skin.

Micro-Current facials are used to help re-educate the underlying muscles, giving better tone to the face. The result is a firmer facial tone, diminished lines and overall improvement in texture. 

A Brief History Of Micro-Current Therapy

In 1980, Thomas W. Wing. D.C., N.D., LAc., a fifth generation Chinese Doctor is credited with introducing a microcurrent device which was found to be beneficial in the treatment of muscles. Originally approved by the FDA as a muscle stimulator, it also found new life in the Cosmetology industry for cellular rejuvenation, facial toning and wrinkle reduction.

Microcurrent treatment has been proven successful in treating a variety of medical conditions including Bell’s Palsy. Bell’s Palsy is facial paralysis and usually effects one side of the face only. The cause is unknown, but inflammation of one of the facial nerves results in muscle paralysis to one side of the face. This usually recovers over a period of months, but on occasions can be permanent. Electrical currents have been incorporated into facial machines for many years. The research and development conducted to assist the “baby boomers” in maintaining a youthful appearance has promoted their evolution to the highly efficient apparatuses we have at our disposal today. Understandably, there is a great deal of interest around the muscle enhancement abilities of microcurrent.

How Does The Micro-Current Facial Work?

The microcurrent facial involves the application of low-level, waveform-shaped electrical impulses through dual tipped probes in combination with a water-based conductive gel. When applied to the skin, the gentle electrical current rehabilitates the underlying muscles and improves circulation, texture, tone, and fine lines. Regular use of microcurrent will continue to provide muscle strength and restore freshness to the appearance. The technology works internally on the muscle fiber and tissue for visible, external results – it’s like taking your face to the gym! Microcurrent used for the purpose of skin rejuvenation differs from Electro-Muscle Stimulation (E.M.S.) which is a medical procedure utilizing a very strong current to force repeated muscular contraction and expansion.

The skin on the face is attached to the facial muscles. When the muscles become slack, the skin goes with them! When tension and worry cause the muscles to contract continuously, wrinkles and deep lines form. Micro-Current Lifting reverses and corrects habitual muscle patterns and accelerates the repair of atrophy in the muscles.

This advanced treatment increases the Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) muscle cells, which boosts muscle energy by up to 500% – similar to the levels we have at a much younger age. The mitochondria in each cell produces ATP, our vital cell energy, and ATP produces muscle protein.

What Are The Benefits Of A Micro-Current Facial?

Microcurrent facials deliver a variety of benefits to patients who wish to maintain a more youthful looking appearance and is an extremely safe and gentle non-invasive alternative to dramatic plastic surgery procedures, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, Collagen and Botox injections and other invasive treatments. The results can vary by individual and skin type, are gradual, and will not just “happen” over night. Although microcurrent facials are know known to produce an immediate and temporary rejuvenating effect, continued daily application will provide more cumulative long-term, lasting results!

Advantages of Ultrasound in Skin Care

Ultrasound is effectively used for any part of our face or body. The depth of the wave penetration depends on ultrasonic frequencies – the higher is the frequency of the vibration the more shallow is the wave penetration. And vice versa, the smaller is number of wave vibration the deeper it penetrates underneath the skin. Therefore the 1MHz (1 million vibrations per second) is a better option for lower face or body treatments (tissues and muscles are thicker). The 3MHz (3 million vibrations per second) is optimal for facial treatment (tissues and muscles are much thinner). The 5Mhz is mostly used for delicate skin around the eyes.

The high speed micro vibration and deep heat of ultrasound wave are safe, painless and gentle. It resonates above our hearing level and penetrates the skin without any discomfort or side effects. The vibration produces fast repeated stretching and shrinking of the cell membranes improving skin elasticity, stimulating skin metabolism, promoting collagen production. The vibration of this kind generates soft cellular tissue massage, with powerful stimulating effect. The deep heat is very mild on the surface of the skin, but is powerful enough to initiate reproduction of collagen and elastin, At the same time the head of the device produces mechanical massage without stretching the skin, unlike regular facial massage.

Aesthetic professionals use ultrasound machines to promote skin cellular renewal and repair, increase blood circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness and swelling, plump up and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. The application of ultrasonic frequency tightens sagging skin, fades dark eye circles, freckles and old age spots. It enforces penetration of creams and lotions in the deeper layers of the skin and boosts the effectiveness of any skin care product you use.

Advantage of Photon LED Light Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation

The LED light therapy converts the light energy into energy within your skin cells (in spring plants absorb sun light, as a result they start blossoming). The light enters our body as photons (energy) and is absorbed by the photo receptors within skin cells. Once your skin absorbs the LED light, your body starts to heal from inside out. It decreases inflammation processes and reduces the amount and strength of acne causing bacterium. As a result you will see improvements in skin affected by acne, blemishes, scar tissue and also reduction of wrinkle formation, enhancement in blood circulation.

LED therapy is recognized as the safest and most effective acne and scar minimizing treatment. Light therapy has been usedin professional skin care clinics throughout Europe for a good part of the last decade, but only now this technology became available for home skin care.

Each color of light has it’s own spectrum (wavelength and frequency) and is effective for treating various skin conditions, e.g: use blue light if you are trying to get rid of acne and use red light for collagen production if your concern is aging skin. The overlapping spectrum of lights is especially effectivefor treating mature skin with lines and wrinkles.

Red Light: The 633nm-650nm low-level red light is one of the most powerful and active light colors. The red light penetrates up to 8-10mm ceasing the inflammatory process, it significantly improves healing and reduces chance of scarring. It accelerates blood circulation, stimulates skin cell re-growth, enhances Collagen production and triggers self repair mechanisms. Beneficial for any skin type.

Blue light: The 415nm-462nm blue light regulates skin sebum secretion, in other words its effective for reducing skin oil production. This light penetrates up to 0.5mm beneath the skin and has powerful calming and anti-bacterial properties. It is most beneficial for sensitive or oily skin and skin with acne, large pores or rashes. Blue light is proven to be an effective treatment and cure for acne, since it destructs and eventually kills the acne causing bacterium and helps shrink the enlarged pores.

Green Light: The 527nm green light is for skin comforting and rejuvenation. Its spectrum is between red and blue and is suitable for the mixed skin types. The green light has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, it helps fight free radicals, which is on of the main reasons of skin aging process. It improves skin texture, activates and oxygenates skin cells, improves micro-circulation. Extremely beneficial for anti-aging use on skin with dry and dehydrated appearance. Green light is proven to be effective for skin with hyperpigmentation
