The Benefits of Microcurrent Facials
As we discussed in our blog “What is Microcurrent and What Are Its Benefits?”, microcurrent technology is a safe, effective, and easily-tailored way to treat a variety of common skin concerns… which is why we wanted to dedicate today’s topics to the benefits of microcurrent facials!
Read on to learn more about how microcurrent facials can take your skin’s health to the next level (and why booking right now can put money back in your pocket!)
First Things First: What is Microcurrent? What are Microcurrent Facials?
Used medically since the 1980s as an FDA-approved muscle stimulator (initially used to treat Bell’s Palsy and muscle paralysis!), microcurrent treatments have cemented itself in the world of skin care as an alternative to surgical facelifts and Botox.
How do they work? Well, by using low-voltage electricity that targets adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cell growth, microcurrent tightens the muscles and connective tissues of the face. This, in turn, stimulates key cellular activities such as collagen production, lymphatic drainage, skin lifting, and texture-smoothing.
Microcurrent facials channel these benefits into a series of expertly-delivered treatments. Here at Moonstone Skin & Body Care you can enjoy this holistic, non-invasive, and science-backed treatment in a series of five: each treatment includes an exfoliating enzyme masque, a lymphatic drainage massage, the inclusion of LED light therapy, the application of skin-relaxing peptides, a collagen-bolstering hydrating masque, and, of course, microcurrent.
The Benefits of Microcurrent Facials Long-Term
While visible results can and will be seen after just one treatment, it is recommended to enjoy a minimum of five microcurrent facial treatments; ideally, these are staggered twice-weekly and, upon completion, are followed by monthly maintenance sessions.
The benefits of microcurrent facials long-term include:
Improved elasticity due to an increase in natural elastin production
Improved collagen production and skin cell turnover
Diminished wrinkles and fine lines
Diminished pigmentation and skin roughness
After all, you can think of microcurrent facials as light exercises for your facial muscles to keep your skin smooth, firm, and glowing. To maintain your results between treatments, be sure to apply an SPF of 15 or higher daily, be regimented with your SPF application even when you’re planning on staying indoors, reapply every two hours, and remember commonly-skipped areas of your body like your neck, ears, and chest!
Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Book Your First (or Next!) Microcurrent Treatment
As a fast, painless, and 100% customizable treatment, microcurrent facials are an optimal skin care treatment all year-round; however, they’re especially great in the Fall if you’re looking to target post-summer pigmentation or stubborn melasma.
