MY Skin Care Center - special $110, best microcurrent facial treatments in bergen & essex county NJ/NY area

The hottest Hollywood non-surgical age defying face treatment has made its way to New Jersey! This breakthrough in anti-aging technology is a well kept celebrity secret and has been featured on Oprah’s favorite things, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Microcurrent technology has been at the forefront of the battle against aging for several decades. Since its inception in the early 70’s, through today’s progressive developments, celebrities and common people alike have touted microcurrent treatments as the true “fountain of youth”. Younger clients seek a microcurrent facelift treatment to prevent some of the aesthetic effects of aging, while older clients can be rejuvenated. Amazingly, 20 minutes of microcurrent is equivalent to four hours of deep tissue massage. According to some studies, one microcurrent treatment delivers 72 hours of lift, while a series of 10 to 12 treatments gives anywhere from 6 to 18 months of lift. With consistent microcurrent treatments your age can remain a mystery!

What is Microcurrent ?

Microcurrent is completely non-invasive—no surgery, no injections treatment more commonly referred to as the “lunch time lift” or “non-surgical face lift”. 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, to provide circulatory benefits and to assist in product penetration.
The result is immediate firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while greatly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microcurrent is also referred to as facial sculpting treatment. It can lift, sculpt and tighten any part of your face or body. It can even lighten acne scaring or calm rosacea. This is a procedure that has NO DOWNTIME and results are immediate. Microcurrent facials are painless and so relaxing that most clients often fall asleep during the treatment.

How does it 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 "stick" 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 literally lifts, smoothes, and tightens before your eyes. Probes or electric gloves are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform what is known as muscle re-education – the process of lengthening or shortening muscles. Although microcurrent is electricity, this level of electrical current is far too low to cause the muscles to “twitch” or move involuntary. Too much energy can have a detrimental effect on the skin. It leads to a decrease in muscle tonicity and cellular activity. The patented technology we use is called microcurrent Suzuki sequencing. It controls the depth, purpose and effect that the electric current will have on the tissue being treated. The human body and all of its functions, are completely frequency specific. Just as we have an individualized DNA code and finger print, we also have a one of a kind electrical code that is unique to each of us.

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. If the full series of treatments is completed and maintenance sessions are well maintained, results should last 3-4 years. Aging is an unstoppable assurance, therefore maintenance sessions are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Microcurrent and Bell's Palsy
Microcurrent was first developed as a medical treatment to treat Bell's Palsy. The currents were designs to re-educate the muscles of the face, stimulating them to return to a normal position. Bells Palsy is facial paralysis, usually effects one side of the face only. The cause is unknown, but inflammation of one of the facial nerves results in muscle paralysis to one side of the face. As their facial muscles atrophy (sag) microcurrent is used to rehabilitate the muscles. The muscles are lifted and toned and their faces look closer to their former selves again.

Can microcurrent be combined with microdermabrasion ?
Layering technologies optimize your results. By utilizing multiple treatments together, it significantly increases the end result as well as reduces the amount of time it requires to achieve this result.
Microdermabrasion and microcurent have long been dynamic, natural non-invasive partners in crusade in fighting the aging process. Microdermabrasion may be performed as an exfoliating treatment prior to a microcurrent. Microcurrent working from the inside out, and microdermabrasion from the outside in.

Microcurrent and injectables.
Utilizing both technologies maximize the end result. Fillers give a quick and effective “filling “ effect, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However they do nothing for muscle contour, natural collagen or elastin production, all of which are addressed with microcurrent. Many doctors find it necessary to sculpt and contour the muscles of the face to maximize and complete the effect of fillers. Recommended microcurrent treatment after Botox and fillers is 2 weeks after. A lot of clients and doctors see prolonged effects of Botox when using in conjunction with microcurrent. Because of healing properties that microcurrent possess, it also is recognized as the tool of choice by surgeons for pre and post-op applications. It reduces post operative swelling, bruising and discomfort by 50 %.
