This service is called facial sculpting because it includes 3 modalities that when mixed together will achieve a total facial sculpting effect. This service includes normal deep pore cleansing, medi-cupping (controlled suction for lymphatic drainage of the face and neck), Microcurrent, and Red LED. Therefore, we achieve sculpting by draining the face of all bloating fluid, lifting and toning the facial muscles back to it's youthful place, and Red LED for healing and treating fine lines and wrinkles.

What is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent is a low level of electricity that mirrors the body‘s own natural electrical currents, triggering chemical reactions at a cellular level to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin, provide circulatory benefits, and re-educate the muscles of the face. 

Each tissue type in your body has its own signature electrical frequency, which may be disrupted by injury or disease. Microcurrent therapy simply restores normal frequencies within the cells, resulting in remarkable improvements in the skin's ability to produce collagen and elastin. This allows the skin to tighten and hold it's structure.

Microcurrent is known to be the most effective non-surgical method to take years off the face. The Jade microcurrent treatments take efficiency of microcurrent to a new level.  Along with professionally effective skin care products, the results are dramatic and the client is incredibly relaxed. Since microcurrent is sub-sensory, and since our gentle acupuncture is so stress releasing, most patients fall asleep during treatments.

At the cellular level, this therapy stimulates a dramatic increase in ATP, the energy that fuels all biochemical functions in the body. It also bumps up protein synthesis, which is necessary for tissue repair. This treatment enhances blood flow and decrease inflammation.  The result is immediate firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Microcurrent lifts, sculpts and tightens, provides immediate results, and has no downtime. In addition, ATP continues to build up for weeks after treatment. With a series, your skin will improve even between sessions!

How does microcurrent work?
We first need to understand what causes our facial skin to wrinkle and sag. As we age, our muscles become accustomed to certain expressions and tend to get stuck in these positions. A great example of this is the furrow between the eyebrows that many people get. At the same time, other muscles in our face are hardly ever used, and they begin to atrophy, which leads to sagging. An example of this can often be seen around our jaw lines, chins and necks where we tend to develop sagging or loss of definition as we get older. As we age, skin cells become less active, which leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin. By the age of 45, the upper cheek muscles may elongate by as much as half an inch, dragging the skin over the cheeks downward to form plump little pouches at the corners of the mouth. The muscles under the chin become loose and the jaw line loses its firm contour.

There are 32 different muscles of the face that are manipulated during the microcurrent facial treatment. The treatment lifts, smoothes, tightens and tones. Probes are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform muscle re-education – the process of lengthening or shortening muscles. Having muscle re-education movements performed in a series re-trains the muscles to maintain this new contour. Microcurrent treatment allows the muscles the necessary energy to keep their tension in this new contour.

Since you are re-educating the muscle tissue, it is crucial that you receive a series of treatments for results to reach their maximum potential. Once a series is completed, the results can be maintained by coming in every 4-8 weeks for maintenance treatments. Additionally, a series can be repeated every few years. If the full series of treatments is completed and maintenance sessions are continued on a monthly basis, results should last 3-4 years.

• 48% increase in 20 days in natural elastin production
• 39% increase in 20 days in blood circulation

Recommended Treatments
The number of sessions depends on the client age and skin condition. The effects of microcurrent are immediate and cumulative. Clients go through a series of treatments followed by regular maintenance to keep a more youthful appearance. Each time a treatment is performed the new contour maintains its position better and longer. Typically clients will notice about 5 year reduction in facial aging.

The following are general guidelines and frequency of treatment:

• 20 – 30 years old: Preventative, to slow down the aging process
• 30 – 35 years old: Initial series of 6, once per week
  Maintenance every 6-8 weeks
• 35 – 40 years old: Initial series of 8-10, once to twice per week
  Maintenance every 6-8 weeks
• 40 – 50 years old: Initial series of 10-12, once to twice per week
  Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
• 50 – 60 years old: Initial series of 12-15, once to twice per week
  Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
• 60 plus years old: Initial series of 15-18, ideally twice per week
  Maintenance every 4 weeks
• Perfect for special occasions or a quick pick-me-up for an instant lift lasting up to two days.
• Excellent for post surgical facelift to maintain the lift and treat blood stasis, scarring, and numbness.

Individuals with the following should not receive microcurrent:

• Pacemaker
• Pregnancy
• Thrombosis
• Phlebitis
• Epilepsy
• Cancer
