BE : SCULPTED with Microcurrent

Microcurrent FAQ's

Q: What is Microcurrent?

A:  Microcurrent is a Nobel Prize winning therapeutic skin treatment that utilizes a mild electric current to re-educate facial muscles while improving the tone and texture of the skin and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Each treatment using our unique third generation microcurrent technology increases cellular production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) by 500%.  ATP is the primary energy currency in the body and powers virtually every activity of the cell and organism within the skin.  As the ATP levels increase, the muscles will hold their tone longer.  Consecutive microcurrent treatments yield increased production of collagen (collagen is a form of protein and is the supporter and connector of tissues in the body which is naturally lost as we age) and increased production of elastin (a protein that gives the skin elasticity, allowing it to bounce back in place after being stretched out or scrunched from smiling or squinting). Increasing the production of collagen and elastin creates more youthful looking and healthier skin.
Other benefits include:

  • Lymphatic circulation (Elimination of fluid waste throughout the body)
  • Stimulates increased blood circulation to treated areas
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Tissue oxygenation

 Microcurrent specifically reprograms muscle fibers and has been used by alternative medicine practitioners and physicians to treat a broad array of injuries, wounds, soft tissue and bone fracture for more then a century.

Q: What benefits should I expect from a microcurrent treatment?

A:  Microcurrent is performed to achieve the following:

-Improve muscle tone in face and neck

-Lift jowls and eyebrows

-Skin exfoliation

-Sun damage treatment

-Increase product penetration

-Reduce wrinkles and eliminate fine lines

-Improve facial circulation

 -Extending the lifespan of injectables

Q: Can I receive a microcurrent treatment if I get Botox or other injectable fillers?

A:  Yes!  Not only does microcurrent help to extend the lifespan and longevity of fillers and Botox, but the two are extremely complementary companions.  Fillers give a quick and effective “filling “ effect, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  However they do nothing for muscle contour, natural collagen or elastin production, all of which are addressed with microcurrent.  Many doctors find it necessary to sculpt and contour the muscles of the face to maximize and complete the effect of fillers.  It is necessary to wait 2 weeks after having Botox or other injectable treatments before resuming your microcurrent treatments.

Q: How many treatments will I need and at what frequency?

A:  Clients receive a series of weekly treatments and then move onto monthly maintenance treatments after series completion.  The number of sessions depends on the clients' skin condition and will be determined with the client during our initial consultation.  The effects of microcurrent are immediate and cumulative.  Each time a treatment is performed the new contour maintains its position better and longer. Typically clients will notice a 5 to 10 year reduction in facial aging.

These are approximate estimations of treatment guidelines:

• ages 20-30: Preventative maintenance to slow down the aging process

• ages 30–40: Initial series of 4-6, 1X per week + maintenance every 4-6 weeks

•ages 40-50: Initial series of 6–10, 1x per week + maintenance every 4-6 weeks

•ages 50-60: Initial series of 8– 12, 1x per week + maintenance every 4-6 weeks

 •ages 50–60: Initial series of 12-15, 1x per week + maintenance every 4 weeks

Q:  What sets our unique machine apart from others on the market?

A:  Our Neurotris machine is like no other machine on the market.  As a company they have achieved a breakthrough in the deliverance of bioelectric signals achieved with their patented Wave Form technology.  The system uses Specific Bioelectric Signatures with advanced Nano technology to communicate at a cellular level via the neurological pathways to improve and return a youthful appearance.  Neurotris is the only machine that utilizes:

  • Constant Waveform Morphology (specialized unique signature delivery)
  • Multi-Channels with Multi-Signatures (energy frequencies)
  • Neurotris is the only machine that incorporates a Bio feedback system that reads your body’s frequencies of energy and compensates for impedance to create a purity of wave current. All other microcurrent machines on the market use only single-channel, one-way systems. Neurotris is the only FDA-approved manufacturer of microcurrent machines and technology in the United States

Q: Are there any medical conditions that are contraindicated for microcurrent use?

A: Microcurrent is not advised for the following conditions:

-Epilepsy

-Pregnancy

-Pacemakers 

-Melanoma

Q: Are there other benefits of Microcurrent therapy?

A: Microcurrent treatment has been used successfully in the management of various types and origin of pain including fibromyalgia, arthritis, neck and back pain, sports related injuries etc. Other reported benefits include:
    •    Relief from menopausal symptoms
    •    Relieves insomnia
    •    Mood elevation
