One of the Most Popular Facial Beauty Salon Treatments

How does the Microcurrent facial work?


This is still one of the most popular facials in the beauty salon today and gives great results. This is not a quick fix treatment and it will not make you look 20 years younger and the results are gradual as you attend each treatment. However, you will notice a overall improvement in your face contours, tightening of the jowl line, lifting of the brows, the face looks more relaxed and a healthy glowing complexion all makes you look more youthful. Find time in your diary to visit the salon at least twice a week whilst on your course. 10-15 treatments are normally recommended  depending on your skin condition and age. You will need to follow with a 4-6 week maintenance treatment to keep the muscles toned, just like going to the gym.

What to expect during the treatment?

The treatment is normally quite relaxing and my clients often fall a sleep, the time is about 1 hour depending if there are other added treatments involved. Probes are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform muscle re-education. The process of lengthening or shortening  muscles performed in a series of movements helps re-educate the muscles to their former position and allows the muscles the necessary energy to keep their tension. 

Microcurrent has been proven to provide the following

500% increase in cellular energy (ATP) to muscle cells leading to increased muscle tone

12% increase in 20 days in natural collagen production to increase hydration and fullness

 48% increase in 20 days in natural elastin production

39% increase in 20 days in blood circulation


Other Benefits

·         Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
·         Improved muscle tone in face and neck
·         Improved circulation
·         Lift of jowls and eyebrows
·         Lymphatic drainage
·         Product penetration
·         Smoother firmer skin
·         Hydrated and revitalised
·         Improved elasticity  

    There are many different types of micro-current treatments available including the celebrity endorsed CACI. The results of your treatment will very much depend on the skills and training of the therapist. The micro-current treatment can be combined with several other treatments like L.E.D, Microdermabrasion, Masks and tailored courses with other effective skin care treatments.  If you have any health concerns check with the salon first before your appointment to avoid disappointment. A average price per treatment in the UK is £55.00

Dermaroller

The Benefits of a Professional Dermaroller or Home Dermaroller Device.


A dermaroller is a lightweight tool consisting of a handle with a small barrel attached, covered in tiny needles. The needles range from titanium to surgical grade stainless steel. It is extremely important that they should arrive in a sturdy sterile packaging. The quality of your roller is extremely important, please don’t be tempted to purchase a cheap device, safety and efficacy first! 


Home-use rollers start at 0.2-0.3mm, with professional rollers being 1mm for a face treatment. The epidermis on the face varies in thickness from approximately 0.5mm (eyelids) – 1.5mm; therefore your professional roller is able to penetrate the skin somewhere around the basal junction, possibly slightly deeper. As there are no blood vessels present in the epidermis but pinprick bleeding may occur during the professional rolling process when contact is made with the upper dermis. 


A professional dermaroller treatment is intended to cause a degree of trauma to the skin. This trauma stimulates new collagen cells in abundance.                               

The ageing process, low body weight, regular intense exercise, smoking, drinking, diet and the environment all impacts collagen and elastin in your skin. 


The Dermaroller creates 1000’s of minor pinprick wounds to the skin which then begins to heal itself. A wound heals in three 3 stages:

1.Inflammation (erythema, oedema and the release of growth factors)

2.Proliferation (fibroblast stimulation, creating new collagen cells)

3.Tissue remodelling (collagen continues to build and contraction takes place)


Having created 1000s of these micro channels we can optimize this treatment by flooding the skin with active ingredients, which will work at a cellular level and be at their most efficacious. By adding these serums greater results can be achieved.


The home dermaroller is pain free but you may experience a tingling sensation and you will notice a high pink complexion which only lasts for a few hours. 


The professional Dermaroller treatment is certainly not pain free (ample numbing cream is applied prior to treatment), it does offer a more economical solution to some other ablative therapies. It has limited exclusionaries/contraindications, very limited downtime, and when delivered safely no side effects. It is an ideal treatment for:

  • Pitted acne scarring
  • Ice pick scarring
  • Pigmentation
  • Stretch marks
  • Anti-ageing, lines, wrinkles and lax skin

Benefits

  • No downtime
  • No side effects
  • Suits all skin types
  • Tightening and lifting

What is a Mesotherapy Treatment?

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a safe, natural skin therapy and is ideal for dry, dehydrated and dull skin or simply as a skin boost. Treatment can be applied to the whole face, neck, chest and hands.  This unique process involves a series of extremely superficial micro-needles to the epidermis which allows for transportation of the Mesotherpay ingredients to the epidermal layer where cellular interaction takes place.
Using a very fine needle to slightly break the surface of the skin one is able to nourish and rejuvenate the skin promoting the production of collagen, strengthening elastin fibres and stimulating cell metabolism.
Mesotherapy is a highly effective rejuvenating treatment, replacing hyaluronic acid which provides deep hydration, toning benefits and cell regeneration. The transdermal delivery of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that decrease as we age offer reduced sagging, cellular nutrition and anti-ageing properties to the skin.
The treatments can tone and tighten sagging skin, reduce fine lines and repair free radical damage.  Clients describe their skin as firm, radiant, youthful and glowing as a result of Mesotherapy treatment.
The delivery of Mesotherapy can be optimised by combining the treatment with a superficial glycolic skin peel.  The action of the glycolic peel exfoliates dead skin cells and unclogs pores allowing for improved penetration of the Mesotherapy cocktail.
A series of six weekly treatments is advised to achieve maximum improvement.  After this, monthly treatments are recommended to maintain smoother, healthier and better hydrated skin.
One-off treatments are extremely popular for special occasions delivering instantly glowing skin radiance and giving an amazing base to apply make-up.

FORMULATIONS 

The formulation of the intensely active ingredients delivered through Mesotherapy offer results to:
  • STIMULATE the skin’s biochemical reactions
  • IMPROVE skin firmness and tone
  • RESTRUCTURE mature skin tissue
  • REPAIR post trauma skin imperfections
The composition of active ingredients are designed to favour the different biological reactions of the architecture of the skin.
This market is booming and clients are looking for non-invasive, affordable skin therapies, that are results driven. Adding mesotherapy to your treatment portfolio can progress your business and enhance professional development.
