What is the Microcurrent Facial?

What is Microcurrent?
Think non-surgical facelift or a Workout for your face!  Microcurrent is a facial that will tighten, lift, tone and increase the hydration of your skin!  This facial achieves all of this by delivering an electrical current to the skin.

What are the Benefits?
When you consistently have the microcurrent facial 5 major benefits occur:
  
Blood Flow: The low-level electrical pulse promotes blood and lymphatic flow in the skin.  
 
Hydration: These pulses also trigger ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production that helps to improve cellular function, thus improving oxygen levels and hydration levels.  ATP is crucial as it, simply put, is the energy of your cell.  Increasing your ATP, you are increasing your Anti-Aging Protection.  
 
Volume: Microcurrent not only increases the hydration level of the cell but it also stimulates the oxygen which helps to volumize the skin.  
 
Firmness: This increase in oxygen along with the muscle contractions lead to a toned face.  So, all the above benefits of the increase of ATP, hydration, blood flow, oxygen and muscle contraction will improve the firmness of the skin.  
 
Luminosity: The final benefit is the luminosity of the skin.  When you consistently have microcurrent facials you are extending the skin cells hydration and oxygen and that will give your skin a luminously beautiful glow!
