Photon Microcurrent Facial Therapy

---

A microcurrent facial is a cosmetic treatment where a special handheld device is used to deliver tiny currents of electricity to the face. These microcurrents stimulate the skin and muscles with the aim of improving a person’s appearance. 

Essentially, a microcurrent facial is like strength training for your skin. "It stimulates the facial muscles underneath the skin, which will help to improve the facial contour, tone the skin, and reduce wrinkles.

This innovative facial treatment uses a low level electrical current to "train" facial muscles, resulting in skin that looks more youthful. Electrical currents cause the facial muscles to contract, which trains them to sculpt the face. 

Photon is also known as LED light therapy.  With this facial you receive the benefits of both microcurrent and light therapy! 

The Process

A microcurrent facial starts off like any other classic treatment: Double cleanse, exfoliate, steam, extractions, and massage—then it's time to whip out the microcurrent device. These can vary depending on the brand; some are short and narrow, while other probes are round and cylindrical. 

Microcurrents always need a water-based conductive gel to work, so your esthetician will begin by applying a jellylike goop on areas you'd like to tighten. Finally, they will start gliding the device across your skin: "Starting at the neck and finishing on the forehead, an electrical probe is used to lift from bottom up to reeducate your muscles! The treatment is pain free.

Results after one session are immediately noticeable;  However, the full effects of the procedure are  achieved with regular sessions. 

Risks

 The microcurrent facial is a safe treatment for most healthy adults. It is painless and may only cause a slight tingling or prickly sensation. Many patients find the procedure pleasurable.  

 Any skin type can fare well with microcurrent including sensitive skin!
