Anti-Aging Properties Of Microcurrent Facial Treatment

February 7, 2017

Microcurrent is a mid-level beauty treatment option that uses electrical current to mirror the original contents of the body. It includes the use of medically proven cosmetic products and can be applied to aid the healing of skin injuries, macular degeneration, muscle rehabilitation to lymphedema. This medical practice is fast gaining ground and has assisted many specialists in achieving amazing results when it comes to skin care.

 

How Does It Work?

While Microcurrent treatment works for different medical conditions, its primary objective is to help with the battle against aging. It helps in removing fine lines, wrinkles and enhances a patient’s look, texture, appearance, tone, facial muscles and the overall appearance of the skin (thus it is an efficient anti-aging therapy).

It is a non-invasive method that gives people the freedom to achieve their anti-aging goals without having to be bedridden (due to expensive surgeries that don’t often produce the desired results or almost always need more treatment sessions to fix).

 

Anti Aging Properties

Microcurrent stimulates the activity in the cell in the human body to generate massive amounts (about 500% increase) of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), which is known as the “energy of life.” The adenosine triphosphate enhances the number of biological stages including muscle contraction and protein (the collagen and elastin) synthesis.

It contributes to facial toning through working of the muscle from its original position and re-inserting it inward to reduce slackened muscles (especially the muscles in the cheeks or forehead). It also works from the belly out so as to lengthen the contracted muscles (particularly the muscles that pulls the sides of the mouth downward).

Microcurrent anti-aging treatment also provides some Iontophoresis that allows for greater penetration of the serum into the skin, thus making it glow.

 

How Frequently Should This Treatment Option Be Considered?

The number of times that microcurrent treatment can be received depends to a large extent on the condition or type of skin, the state of the muscles and the age of the patient. In order to get the best results, about 10 to 15 treatments need to be done at least twice every week, followed by a regularly scheduled monthly check up and maintenance treatments.

The skin care practitioner that is handling the treatment will inform you when it comes to determining the number of sessions that you need. The whole treatment process is entirely painless, and takes between 40 to 60 minutes to complete with no rest time required.

 

Who Handles a Microcurrent Anti-Aging Treatment?

This treatment can be handled by a licensed Aesthetician or Medical doctor. Although this varies from state to state because in some regions other medical practitioners including nurses are allowed to perform this procedure with or without professional supervision.

How Long Do the Results Last?

The result of microcurrent therapy usually begins to show right after the first treatment and its benefits of are cumulative because you have to go through a series of treatment sessions in order to gain the maximum anti-aging results that you desire.
