We all deserve to look and feel our absolute best. When it comes to our appearance, growing older can play a massive role in how we look, particularly where our skin is concerned. Generally, the two tell-tale signs of aging are graying hair, and wrinkled skin. Our grey hair can be masked with hair dye, but hiding the wrinkles and lines in our skin, is a whole lot harder. The good news, is that there are two relatively new and highly innovative beauty treatments currently available, which are providing very promising results.
Microcurrent Facial
Microcurrent facials are designed to tighten, lift, and contour the face, without causing harsh bruising and side effects associated with other forms of facial beauty treatments. A microcurrent facial works by utilizing a very low current of electricity applied directly to the face, to help stimulate natural skin cell regeneration processes. This electrical stimulation works at a cellular level, helping the body to produce new and healthy skin cells, along with elastin and collagen, which respectively improve the firmness and fullness of the skin. As we grow older, the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leaving it looking thin, wrinkled, and saggy.
Combine this with the fact that the environment, lifestyle choices, dietary choices, and genetics, can all also affect the skin, all of a sudden we understand the importance of allowing the skin to naturally regenerate itself. Studies have found that semi-regular treatments can result in elastin strength levels increasing by as much as 45%, whereas collagen levels can increase by 10%. Put simply, microcurrent facials help the skin to heal itself, helping to firm and tone the skin, leaving you looking healthier and more youthful. For best results, microcurrent facials are combined with oxygen facials. Primary benefits associated with this treatment include:
- Firmer skin
- Younger looking skin
- Healthier looking skin
- Enhanced cellular metabolism
- Improved facial circulation
- Tightens the pores
- Weekly treatments not required
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines
- Prevents dry skin
- Enhanced lymphatic drainage
- Evens out the skin tone
- And more…
Oxygen Facial
Oxygen facials are becoming more and more popular every single day, and whereas once they were exclusive only for celebs and the super-rich, nowadays they are becoming more readily available for everyday folk as well. O2 facials work by using pressurized streams of hyperbaric oxygen, which is applied directly into the pores of your skin. The oxygen is enriched with antioxidants, peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and hyaluronic acid, to deliver a nutrient-enriched serum to nourish the skin and the skin cells. Oxygen is applied via a pressurized device, similar to an air-gun, which gives out a highly concentrated dose of nutrient enriched oxygen. Typically a treatment will last around 30 – 60 minutes, and it is virtually pain free.
The antioxidants help to eradicate free radicals and toxins which can starve the skin cells of oxygen and cause them to die, so with less toxins, the skin cells can rejuvenate themselves, leaving the skin looking healthier and more vibrant. They also drastically reduce the signs and symptoms of aging. What’s more, there are different treatment options available, which provide different results. There are oxygen facials designed to rejuvenate the skin, and there are facials designed to plump and firm the skin, providing similar results to those you might expect from harsh botox treatments. Primary oxygen facial benefits include:
- Pain free
- Firm skin
- Younger looking skin
- Healthy looking skin
- Soft skin
- Improved circulation
- Rejuvenated skin cells
- Simple procedure
- Regular treatments are not required
- No harsh side effects or discomfort
- Rids the skin of toxins and bacteria
