Facts & History

For over 20 years micro-current has primarily been used for medical purposes, mostly in the field of physical therapy to stimulate paralyzed muscles. Some surgeons have used it to aid in the regeneration of new bone growth. Doctors have treated sports injuries and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, migraines, burns, and post surgical and trauma pains.

In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the use of electric micro-stimulation won national attention when Dr. Robert Picker used micro-current on Olympic athletes Mary Kay Decker and Joan Benoit. According to Dr. Picker, “Areas of trauma and injury have lost a measure of their electrical potentials and thus become electrochemically undercharged and metabolically sluggish. By feeding injured tissues electrical energy within an optimal bioelectric range, their electrical potentials can be restored, which in turn sets the stage for rapid clinical recovery.” With the micro-current's low frequency electrical stimulation is applied to the injured site is picked up by the body’s internal communication system, which signals the appropriate cells to “re-educate” or grow, develop and repair.

Micro Current Facial has become widely popular among cosmetologists and aestheticians as an effective non-surgical process to lift sagging jowls, diminish smile lines and small facial wrinkles (crow’s feet) around the eyes and between the brows.

The extremely low electrical current (micro-current) penetrates the protein (enzymes) within the individual cell of the muscle and creates a feedback to the nucleus that in turn reactivates the genetic life force within each cell. The original firmness returns to the muscle fiber, thereby correcting the sag in the muscle, which in turn corrects the sag of the skin as the facial muscles are attached directly to it. In essence, the computer-controlled micro-current toning unit gently tightens and strengthens the muscles of the face and neck.

Our treatments revitalize the natural regenerative processes of the facial and neck tissues, minimizes large pores, and increases blood circulation to the area, noticeably improving color and complexion, thereby creating a more rested and youthful appearance.

You are guaranteed to see a visible difference after just one session. Micro-Current Facial smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles and produces a radiance and skin tone which goes on improving for at least 24 hours.
