How Does The Treatment Work?

Light-based technology removes hair in three ways:
Ruining the follicle by coagulating the melanocyte and matrix cells.
Clotting the follicle capillaries with heat energy, which means less food and oxygen to the hair follicle.
Triggering matrix cells to operate calcium pumps and exhaust the cell's energy, resulting in inhibition of the cellular metabolism.
Those three processes back up one another, so if one does not provide results, the two others will.

After a consultation, your Therapist will first use a cleanser and toner to remove all lotions and dirt particles off of your skin. Next is exfoliation of your skin then a liberal application of a conductive cream or serum to protect your skin from the electronic probes, and provide lubrication to move the probes, at the conclusion of the treatment cleansing and then application of moisturizer and SPF. A thorough treatment takes 60 minutes.

Does it hurt?

Microcurrent facials shouldn't hurt. Some people, however, are more sensitive than others and although completely safe, some discomfort may occur and is simply remedied by applying more cream and /or adjusting the equipment. Your Therapist will ask you how things feel through out the treatment, so make sure you speak up. Part of the benefit of microcurrent facials is relaxation, and any discomfort will make it counterproductive.
Your body will tell you what is the right, it should feel like a massage with metal probes and that's it. (Many clients fall asleep during their treatment). Since there is a subtle electric current going through your body, you may taste metal, but that's normal, and is easily remedied with candy or a lollie.

Is it safe? Who is not able to have this treatment?

Pregnant women and people with any kind of heart condition, metal implants (depends on their location) or a history of seizures will not be able to have this treatment. If you have any metal implants in the area to be treated, it may tingle. If you have any metal fillings you may taste a metal taste in your mouth (easily fixed with a candy or a lollie!)

How many sessions are recommended for the full treatment and how often?

Most clients need 12 treatments to achieve a full "facelift" makeover. Clients with greater aging effects such as severe neck sagging, deep creases, or distinguished "crow's feet" at the brow, may need up to 15 sessions. Clients need a minimum of 2-3 sessions per week for their first 3 weeks, then one per week thereafter until treatment package is complete.
Those who are on a short timeline (preparing for a wedding, accepting an award, doing camera work etc.) may be treated every 3 to 4 days in order to complete their treatment quicker. After your 12 sessions, your look is maintained by receiving a single booster treatment every 4-6 weeks.

How long should I expect the results to last?

You investment is preserved as long as you are receiving booster treatments every 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment span. If you stop booster treatments, you risk losing the muscle memory after about 6 months and will have to start a new treatment span again to regain the original youthful look.

Can I have a Peel or Microdermabrasion in conjunction with Microcurrent Facial?

Yes, we will extend the treatment times, as you will be having 2 or 3 separate treatments done at the same time. Multiple treatment discounts are available, ask about what offers are available at time of booking.
