Facial Toning Or Myotonology
Facial Microcurrent is a safe, painless, non-surgical, non-invasive anti-aging procedure that helps tone, lift, and firm sagging facial muscles back to its original position and shape.
“It’s like a little workout for your face,” actress Jennifer Aniston said in an interview with InStyle magazine last year.
The electrical stimulation technology behind the microcurrent facial has been used in partnership with various treatments for patients afflicted with Bell’s palsy, sudden paralysis or weakness of facial muscles that causes one side of your face to appear to droop. Now the technology is making waves in the cosmetic field.
For a cosmetic procedure, an aesthetician would apply a conductive gel to your face. The same type of gel is used for ultrasound scans since it allows for the distribution of electric impulses. Next, the aesthetician would use two prongs to apply electrical currents to the skin’s surface, stimulating the facial muscles underneath. “These two wands talk to each other. They’re delivering currents back and forth to stimulating the top layer of the skin and the muscle.”
Treatment sessions last for about 30 minutes to an hour. A complete treatment course has an average of 10-15 treatments within the first 8 weeks with a recommended once a month maintenance treatment. However, the number of treatments varies depending on each client’s skin condition and muscle tone.
The more procedures you undergo, the more results you may see, she said. During the treatment, patients might feel “a little bit of a tingle” on the skin or have a metallic taste in the mouth, but many find the procedure to be relaxing.
The procedure ranges from $128 Series of 6 $600
