There is an entire range of therapies available to preserve and regain the youthful appearance of the skin and the body mostly aimed at manipulating the internal layers to correct the effects of ageing.
Microcurrent is a very popular antiaging skin treatment which is successfully used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the texture and appearance of skin, as well as reduce the overall visual appearance of ageing.
or the wrinkles on your face led you to search the internet for a possible solution or treatment. Before you go ahead, let me clarify that this book is not about erasing the evidences of your life’s experiences etched on your face and body in the form of innumerable fine lines and wrinkles. I am also not promoting any of the dubious makeover procedures for achieving fake youthful looks. This book is all about adorning and gracing your looks and body through in a completely natural way through proper nutrition, some physical activity, therapeutic and 100% natural skin remedies and products, and an innovative natural technique-Microcurrent.
The effects of ageing Everyone would love to turn back time to regain the youthful skin and beauty of years past, but the decades rushing by combined with the pollutants of everyday life leave an imprint on our skin and bodies which we call aging. Environmental factors such as excessive exposure to sun, smoking, allergies, climate, exposure to household and industrial chemicals, genetic constitution, nutrition and stress bring about changes in the normal functioning of the skin which causes it to look wrinkly, saggy, and shallow, with blotches, blemishes, uneven pigmentation, and dehydration. Many women develop stretch marks during pregnancy which are unsightly in appearance and have a negative impact on the appearance and confidence of the new moms. Even males are susceptible to cellulite or scars and marks from a previous surgery which makes them uncomfortable about their appearance. Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as an unhealthy diet, the excessive use of alcohol, tobacco and other illicit drugs, a sedentary life, no physical activity and age lead to changes in body shape, accumulation of body fat and reduction of lean muscles. As a person grows older, there is a reduction in the lean tissues and muscles and increase in the fatty mass. Increased weight leads to an increased tendency towards acquiring diseases like diabetes, diseases related to heart and blood circulation, hypertension, increased cholesterol, liver and gall bladder disorders, osteoarthritis, sleep disorder, infertility and reduced cognitive function. These problems are not isolated events and are occurrences which affect all of us. Thus, the skin and body rejuvenation in cosmetology is rapidly gaining popularity and acceptance among people in all walks of life. There is an entire range of therapies available to preserve and regain the youthful appearance of the skin and the body aimed at manipulating the internal layers to correct the effects of ageing. The rejuvenation techniques comprise of either a single therapy or a gamut of therapies intended towards creating the targeted effects. Page | 3
The rejuvenation techniques From the plethora of therapeutic techniques and procedures, the most commonly used are summarized below. These may either be used singly or in combinations.
Regular skin care. Healthy lifestyle habits like caloric restriction, physical activity. Use of antioxidants and proper therapeutic care. Use of cosmeceuticals e.g. α-hydroxy acid, hydroquinone and Vitamin C. Cosmetic makeover to conceal the effects of ageing. Non-surgical therapies such as massages, face packs and masks, iontophoresis, aromatherapy, Microcurrent therapy, color therapy. Surgical or minimally invasive therapies including chemical peels, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, radio surgery, laser, dermal fillers, Botox, intensed pulse light rejuvenation and surgical face lifts. Body sculpting techniques for weight loss. Bariatric surgery, restrictive surgery or malabsorptive surgery for inch loss.
Beauty treatments have proved that they emphasize the psychological benefits such as relaxation and promotion of wellbeing along with physically benefitting the appearance of the skin and body.
Disadvantages of rejuvenation therapies The rejuvenation therapies such as use of lotions or other cosmetics may exacerbate allergies, cause rashes and inflammations.
The procedures like laser, hyaluronic acid fillers, intensive pulse light rejuvenation, radio frequency, chemical peels may cause redness, blistering, inflammation and pain. Most of these therapies are associated with a downtime before the actual results can be visualized. These procedures may be painful or uncomfortable. The cures are not always long lasting in nature and require therapies to be repeated after regular periods. This leads to the recurrent use of anti-aging cures to uphold the youthful looks and hence may become unaffordable for the client.
The weight loss surgeries are known to cause some serious side effects such as “dumping syndrome,” nutritional deficiency, gallstones, lifestyle changes, avoid pregnancy and surgical complications such as hernias or infections.
The new technology: Microcurrent Lie back and be zapped into youth and beauty! Microcurrent therapy is an aesthetic treatment used in the firming and toning of the skin through muscle re-education via electrical stimulation with the help of a very small amount of electric current. The most unique feature of the Microcurrent technology which makes it stands out from the other rejuvenation therapies are:
It is a painless procedure. It does not need any downtime. There are no known side effects associated with Microcurrent. The results can be seen instantly after the therapy is completed. The results are long lasting and only require a few maintenance sessions. The Microcurrent is an affordable therapy.

1. Pioneering Natural Therapy - Microcurrent
“Microcurrent is unique in its ability to improve the muscles of the face to create a more youthful and toned appearance through a process that has come to be known as a non-surgical face-lift.”
Dr. Nicholas Perricone in his book, ‘Forever Young: The Science of Nutrigenomics for glowing, wrinkle-free skin’
What is Microcurrent Microcurrent is a popular therapy which is an electrical treatment for face lifts and body lifts with an immediate skin firming and toning effects. It has been offered to a gamut of clients including its use as a tool for preventing premature ageing as well as to reeducate and strengthen muscles. Microcurrent technology has been labeled as an aesthetic treatment which acts on the body to physically firm and tone the skin through a process called muscle re-education. Microcurrent can be defined as “an electric current which is delivered at 1 microampere which equals 1 millionth of an ampere.” Microcurrent is completely harmless and recovers the damaging effect on the tissues and is also capable of trapping the toxic waste. Various research studies have been performed claiming numerous benefits of Microcurrent. Research studies have proven that Microcurrent has specific ability in resurfacing thin layers of skin, filling up the wrinkles and lift the sagging or dropping skin as a consequence of the stimulation of cell growth and tissue rejuvenation. Microcurrent is a minute amount of electrical impulse which mirrors body’s own natural electrical current and thus works in tandem with body’s electrical system. When Microcurrent is delivered to the face or body, it stimulates the fine facial muscles or other muscles in the body with very small amount of electricity and brings about a process called muscle re-education. This Microcurrent impulse triggers a biochemical reaction at the cellular level to increase the body’s production and effective utilization of energy stores called as ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), also known as “energy of life!” Microcurrent also mimics the electrical signals between the brain and the tendons (connectors between the muscle and bone) thus stimulating and strengthening the muscles. This helps in the re-establishment of the muscle memory naturally. Thus, Microcurrent helps in bringing a more defined and tightened form to the face and the body.

Know your skin Your skin is made up of three layers;  

The epidermis: The thin outer layer protects the inner layer and new cells are formed at the base. The dermis: This layer lies just beneath the epidermis and contains connective tissue, glands producing oil and sweat, nerves, and cells producing collagen protein. These cells are playing a major role in formation of scars, accumulation of fat and swelling. There are two fibers collagen and elastin which are dispersed through the entire dermis and provide the flexibility and firmness to the skin. The subcutaneous layer: Lying beneath the dermis, this layer has adipose tissue commonly known as fat which function to cushion the skin and protect it from cold temperature.
What goes wrong With ageing there is an increase in the formation of free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules) which were earlier removed by the antioxidants found naturally in the skin. But in an ageing cell, antioxidants are in very short supply. These free radicals therefore go unchecked and ultimately destroy DNA, protein and cell membranes, breakdown collagen and release harmful chemicals causing inflammation eventually leading to wrinkles and skin ageing.
Muscle fibers store a limited amount of ATP which is the power source for the functioning of the muscle cells.
Extensive research has time and again proven that most of the beauty concerns are related with the appearance of wrinkles and saggy muscles. Gravity and sunshine are the leading factors towards breaking the collagen and elastin which are the main constituents of the skin. With the passage of time, epidermis and connective tissue also become weak, the firmness of the facial muscles diminish the epidermis becomes loose, there are folds in the cheek, neck and chin, unnatural deposition of fat and the blood circulation reduces to a large extent. The buildup of hardened collagen also makes up a scar tissue on the skin. The muscles in the face give in to the gravity as they age and due to underuse become droopy and saggy. Contrary to this some of the muscles which are overused such as those on the forehead and around the eyes form lines and wrinkles. Therefore, the underlying facial musculature has a direct impact on the appearance of the skin. Muscle fibers store a limited amount of ATP which is the power source for the functioning of the muscle cells. In cells ageing due to artificial factors or timely pattern, there is a decline in the content and rate of production of the ATP affecting the tissue function, reduced synthesis of collagen and fibrogen resulting in slack muscles.

How does Microcurrent work Microcurrent is known to work by two main mechanisms:
“Muscles are restored to their youthful form, not cut or altered” Dr. Peter Hanson on Microcurrent
Mechanical Stimulation Bio Stimulation
Mechanical stimulation Mechanical stimulation is brought about by manual manipulation through gentle massages. Probes delivering Microcurrent are used to gently massage the muscle along its origin (bone) and insertion points (point where the muscle connects to the skin). When the muscles are stimulated at the origin and insertion points, the muscles are coaxed to shorten or stretch. To make it easier to understand, if a muscle is in contraction it can be stretched while a muscle diminished in size can be shortened and toned with the use of Microcurrent. This is termed as muscle re-education. The muscles are manipulated at these two points while the entire length of the muscle is stimulated. Bio Stimulation The massage also stimulates the biochemical process in the muscle and surrounding tissue. This bio stimulation enhances the production of energy of the body cells which is called ATP which helps them in holding them in the manipulated position. Clinical studies have shown that Microcurrent application increases the energy production by almost 500%. Microcurrent also helps in correcting the muscle alignment. Simultaneously, Microcurrent has a positive effect on the underlying physiological processes promoting healthy skin. The other effects of Microcurrent are;
It facilitates active transport across membranes thus increasing the delivery of the nutrients inside the cell and exporting the toxic waste materials outside the cells. It enhances synthesis of proteins like collagen and elastin, thus bringing about tissue regeneration and repair. It increases the thickness of the collagen produced. It increases the blood circulation. It helps in preventing the scar formation and also disperses the scar formed in the body.

How does Microcurrent work in the body treatments? The body treatment performs an intense anaerobic workout, vigorous exercise that primarily uses the body’s stored fuel (in the form of two chemicals known as glycogen and phosphocreatine) for energy. After using up the glycogen, the body treatment taps into the stored fat cells for fuel. While a muscle is in an active contraction, the energy stored in the cells rushes to the muscles contracting them and affecting the buildup of lactic acid which eventually causes fatigue. During the relaxation/rest/recovery of the muscles the lactic acid is broken down with the help of oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. Therefore, the Microcurrent application helps the body to utilize its energy resources more efficiently, increase the metabolism and flush out the toxic waste. This overall effect eventually results in an inch loss, increased muscle strength, increased elasticity in skin, reduction of cellulite and scar tissue.
Effects of Microcurrent The history of Microcurrent goes back to 1830 when Dr. Carlos Matteucci found that the injured tissue in humans discharges electricity and since then many experiments validating the effect of Microcurrent in humans have been documented. In medical field, the use of Microcurrent has been common in the treatment of wounds, soft tissue and bone fracture, treatment of paralysis in patients of Bell’s palsy. It was during this treatment of Bell’s palsy, that the use of Microcurrent in skin aesthetics and beauty therapies was accidentally discovered. Ever since, Microcurrent has been integrated into the aesthetic field and is growing in popularity owing to its almost dramatic effects.
Page | 9
The physiological effects of Microcurrent as documented in various clinical and research studies are;
Wound healing: Research studies conducted by Carley and Wainapel have reported an increase in the healing rate (by almost 150-250%, stronger scar formation, reduced pain and decreased infection of the area under treatment. Energy, (ATP; Adenosine triphosphate) production: Microcurrent has been confirmed to boost the production of ATP or energy within the cells. It also increases the availability of free amino acids for the cellular repair. It was also proved that only very lowlevel electrical stimulation has a desirable effect on the production of energy. Strengthening tendons: Studies in animals have shown that Microcurrent results in stronger tendons. Healing of bone: Japanese researchers have also shown that Microcurrent promotes normal bone formation and increases the rate of healing of the bone. When Microcurrent is delivered for longer stretches of time periods, it promotes the remodeling of the bone. Prevents bone infection: Microcurrent application is also associated with bactericidal effects and hence prevents infection. Microcurrent is known to heal eye diseases and shrink the cancerous tumors. Release of neuropeptides: The application of Microcurrent has been known to release the neuropeptides (chemicals released in the nervous system) and thus promote communication, nerve signaling and emotions. Release of energetic blockade: When Microcurrent is delivered through subtle massage, blood circulation is increased, the energy in the meridian system is released and hence the pain is released.
“Treatment of youth coveted by Hollywood stars.” Oprah on Microcurrent
Few other general effects of Microcurrent in beauty therapy are;
Microcurrent stimulates the general functioning of the epidermis and dermis of the skin. It improves the circulation of the blood and therefore facilitates the transport of the oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells. It brings about muscular shortening and lengthening and helps in increasing muscular tone. Microcurrent increases circulation of lymph thereby increasing the rate at which the accumulated waste and toxins are eliminated from the body.

Use of Microcurrent in beauty Microcurrent is the latest technique trending in the field of Face and body rejuvenation. Microcurrent finds use in body rejuvenation therapies in improving the appearance of the skin tone, cellulite condition, removing scar tissues, stretch marks and bust contours. In facial rejuvenation therapies, Microcurrent improves the muscle and skin tone, skin complexion and reducing lines and saggy facial muscles, frown lines, and treating dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. Some of the popular Microcurrent therapies are;
Microcurrent body lifts
Body sculpting Cellulite treatment Stretch mark and skin tightening treatment Arm treatment
Microcurrent face lifts
Complete face lift Deep wrinkle treatment Brow lift/under eye treatment Neck sculpting

Benefits of Microcurrent Microcurrent is a unique and one of the most important non-invasive facelift and bodylift techniques. Some of its benefits are;
It’s natural. The low level of electricity mimicking the electricity naturally flowing through our body functions in stimulating the body’s own healing process to improve the skin and muscles of the face. Thus, the treatment aims at restoring the natural contour of the body within its own facial framework. The benefit of this is that it is completely natural and there are no “bad face-lifts.” The Microcurrent mimics the younger facial contours and increasing blood circulation and hence end result is younger looking and radiant skin. The current is one-millionth of an ampere of electricity and hence causes no sensation when applied to face. The result is visible after a single Microcurrent session. People who have undergone a series of treatments experience a definite improvement in their appearance. Microcurrent process is extremely comfortable and the client feels no sensation at all during the therapy session. In fact it is a pain free and relaxing experience. The technique is simple and easy to perform and is ideal for home use as well. Quick treatments may be performed for on the spot results. The Microcurrent treatment presents very few risks. Since the Microcurrent treatments give instant results, they can be performed right before a special occasion. Results are natural and predictable in nature. Microcurrent treatments are extremely affordable. There is no downtime or recovery period with the Microcurrent treatments.
Side effects of Microcurrent There are no known or documented side effects of Microcurrent beauty therapies. The only problem associated with the Microcurrent sessions are;
If there are any sensations or discomfiture, it may be typical sensations of metallic taste in mouth, lights flashing in the eye, small muscle twitches around eyes and a tapping sensation felt on the back of the head when the Microcurrent is delivered on the forehead. Since Microcurrent increases blood circulation, there may be a slight reddening of the treated area which goes away in a few minutes. There may be some muscle soreness after a rigorous body treatment session.

2. Microcurrent in Beauty Treatments
Microcurrent is a revolutionary anti-ageing and body sculpting technology involving safe delivery of Microcurrent and Nano current into the face and body with the help of specially designed gloves, probes and pads which are applied at specific areas. The specific massage techniques are used in Microcurrent beauty treatments and the current is applied at specific meridians of the face and muscle groups on the body. The entire Microcurrent treatment session is relaxing, euphoric and extremely satisfying. There is no pain or inflammation and results can be seen immediately.
Microcurrent facial sculpting Popularly known as “non-surgical facelift,” Microcurrent facial sculpting is an incredible procedure which gives instant results for all to see after every treatment. Microcurrent facials for face and neck have been used to obviate fine lines, creases, wrinkles, scars, blemishes and acne. It revitalizes and rehydrates the skin making it plumper, smoother and softer. It improves the underlying blood circulation and lymphatic drainage thereby rejuvenating the skin suffusing it with naturally youthful glow, creates a uniform skin tone, firms and stretches the skin, tightens the sagging areas of jowl, around eye, cheeks and double chin. It is a very good natural therapy for reducing acne and rosacea, dark circles, puffiness under the eye, and hyperpigmentation. And to top it all this esthetic service has solid scientific and research based background.
Microcurrent body sculpting Microcurrent is also an effective, easy and painless therapy for body sculpting and contouring providing instant results. The Microcurrent body therapy is ideal for treatment on the stomach, legs, back, arms and buttocks with exceptionally well results. Among the ladies, the buttock lift is gaining extreme popularity. There is no other technology which comes as close to Microcurrent body treatments in achieving the results that a Microcurrent session can boast of. There are some non-surgical options available for body sculpting but they do not come without pain, risk or other harmful side effects. The Microcurrent treatment is as effective as a work out session or weight training at the gym but without any pain, soreness, swelling, downtime or harmful side effects.
The body treatments The Microcurrent body treatments are involved with many body sculpting, cellulite and stretch removal therapies. The different treatments are:
Arm sculpting Stomach and back sculpting Legs and buttock sculpting Stretch mark removal Cellulite removal
The facial treatments The Microcurrent facial techniques are for the treatment of various problems inclusive of:
Deep wrinkle treatment Eye brow lift Forehead lift Face lift Under eye treatment
“By tightening and toning with Microcurrent, the face looks younger, increases volume and overall reduces wrinkles.” Dr. Nicholas Perricone

3. Microcurrent Face Lift
The cosmetic world is all about the skin today and not enhancing. Everyone prefers a natural radiant look rather than a frozen or over plumped look. This is where Microcurrent comes into the picture. The highlight of the rejuvenation practices, Microcurrent face lifts retrains the muscles, activates the functioning of the cell giving an immediate firming result. The bonus? It is absolutely natural and relaxing. With Microcurrent you can forget the old adage, no gain without pain! As you already know Microcurrent produces electrical current like those naturally occurring in the body when the body is repairing its damaged tissues and has been shown to stimulate cell growth and rejuvenate ageing skin.
The Microcurrent experience For a client the Microcurrent treatment sends safe, painless impulses to the muscles in your face and neck which re-educates the muscles and restores them back to their original shape. The visible results of a Microcurrent face lift are quite dramatic. The face and neck are lifted, firmed and toned back to a much more youthful appearance. It improves the circulation of blood to your skin thus increasing the production of collagen, improves tone and texture and improves or eliminates fine lines. The Microcurrent treatment is done for face lifts, deep wrinkle treatment, jaw lift, forehead lift, eye lift, cheek lift and lip lifts. The Microcurrent treatment experience is wonderfully relaxing, calming and euphoric. The client does not feel any pain or discomfort. There is no pain, or swelling following the Microcurrent session. The results are seen almost immediately without any downtimes.
The procedure Microcurrent is a simple procedure whereby with the help of probes, sticky pads and gloves, very small sub sensory levels of current is delivered to the skin through massage. Before the therapy The client is prepared before the Microcurrent therapy starts. Water conducts electricity and hence proper hydration is one of the cornerstones for the treatment to be effective. The clients are advised to drink 2 glasses of water prior to the commencement of the treatment and 2 to 4 glasses of water following the treatment. Any residual make up on the skin is a barrier to the conduction of the electricity. Therefore the skin is thoroughly cleaned, dried and a topical natural treatment serum is applied on the skin. The serum should be preferably hydrating in nature. Just prior to beginning the treatment, conductive gel is applied protecting the rim of the eyes. A few pumps of rehydrating sprays of ion spray are added to rehydrate the gel and increase its conductivity. The massage If you have ever experienced a massage, it is quite similar to that. The only difference is that the esthetician uses probes, pads and gloves to massage your neck and face while delivering small subsensory levels of current. The special gloves are attached to the machine to deliver the current to the skin. The claimed dramatic effects in Microcurrent therapies are due to the effective and efficient movements with the probes. The probes are moved in an “upward and outward� manner on your face and neck to re-educate the muscles and reverse the effects of gravity. Page | 16
The two probes are negative and positive and you as a client can identify the negative probe with its stronger pull. During the treatment the negative probe is usually kept on top of the muscle strand undergoing treatment and the positive one at the bottom. The facial sculpting by Microcurrent devices uses three basic movements; Glide This movement is used both with the gloves and the probes. A slow and smooth movement, the two probes are kept at a distance of 1 to 2 inches. The probes are moved together in an “up and out� movement while the distance between them is kept constant. Once an affected area is done, the probes are moved on to the next set of affected muscles and the whole process is repeated. The probes are also kept on hold for some time between the two muscle groups. Sinch In this movement, the negative probe is kept on top of the treated muscle group, positive at bottom and while the top one is held in its place the bottom probe is pulled upwards gripping the muscle strand. Erase With a freedom of movement this movement aims at focusing conductivity on small areas thereby erasing the fine lines or wrinkles in that area. The negative probe is kept flat and the positive probe moved on tips over the affected areas such as fine lines, wrinkles and the gentle eye area. The entire treatment is divided in phases which use different treatment modules and are for a specific time. Each phase has benefits of its own which is visible as the phase gets completed. At the beginning of each phase the client is given the lowest intensity of current which goes on increasing till the client can barely feel the current. The different phases are; Phase I (OXYGENATION) Lasting for about 3 minutes, this aims at causing dilation of the vessels carrying blood and increasing the blood circulation stimulating the blood cells to carry more oxygen and nutrition to the cells of the skin. The end result of this phase is a fresh and plumper looking skin which has a soft glow. The sculpting of the facial features is also initiated with a visible reduction in inflammation. This treatment module is ideal for those with dull and tired skin, dark circles and puffiness around eyes and jowls, sun damage, melasma, and poor circulation. Phase II & III (REFINES) Especially meant for removing fine lines and superficial skin smoothing, refine phase lasts for about 5 to 7 minutes depending on the skin type. The physiological result is building of the upper layer (the epidermis) of the skin, decrease in wrinkles and rejuvenation of the skin. A shallow current is generated to manipulate each muscle group to treat the epidermis. This treatment module is ideal for clients looking for treatment of wrinkles and fine lines, thinning skin, increasing the cell turnover, cellular rejuvenation, scars, rosacea, acne, sun damage and melasma.
Page | 17
Phase IV (TONING) The last phase toning generates the current which reaches the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis) and epidermis. Focusing on tightening and toning the skin it lasts for about 5 minutes. The result of this treatment module is lifting and sculpting of facial features as well as reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment is ideal for sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, rosacea, acne, sun damage, melasma, increased collagen and elastin, cellular rejuvenation and cellular turnover. Phase V, VI and VII (Derma Build & Derma Lift: FACE LIFTING and ION PENETRATION) Each phase lasting for 5 to 7 minutes, this treatment produces the deepest current and aims at reeducating the muscle layer. The derma lift treatment focusses on the superficial layers of the dermis while derma lifts on the deeper tissues and muscles. The end result is lifting and sculpting of face along with a removal of fine lines and deep wrinkles. This treatment is ideal for lifting sagging muscles, reducing wrinkles and increasing collagen and elastin.
The clientele The Microcurrent treatment can be best described as “preventive for younger clients and rejuvenating for older ones!” Experienced estheticians practicing Microcurrent recommend that it is best to start treatment in your 30’s and 40’s so that you can retard the effects of ageing and need fewer treatment sessions for an effective and visible result. However, it should be mentioned here that the treatment works effectively on all age groups. Facial sculpting by Microcurrent is recommended for adult clients of all ages. The preserving and maintaining nature of the treatment on the younger skin delays and even completely eliminates the need for more invasive treatments.
The uses of a Microcurrent facial The Microcurrent facial or treatment gives a variety of benefits to its clients. It helps all those adult clients who wish to attain a healthier and younger looking skin, improve muscle tone in neck and face, lift jowls and eyebrows, skin exfoliation, reduce and remove the fine lines and wrinkles, improve facial circulation and enhance natural collagen and elastin formation. The basic treatments that are offered by the Microcurrent face lift or Microcurrent facial are;
Non-surgical face lift for neck, jaw and eye area Reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles Increase the energy production in the cell by almost 500% Increased production of collagen and elastin, proteins which provide the firmness and elasticity to the skin Improves sun damage, rosacea, acne and melasma Reduces inflammation and dark circles to stimulate blood, oxygen and lymph Brings about a perfect balance of hydration, protection and receptivity to nutrients of the skin
Page | 18
The benefits of Microcurrent face lift The Microcurrent technology is innovative and so effective that the results start becoming noticeable within 1 hour of the therapy session. There are many benefits associated with the Microcurrent treatment. Some of these are;
It is completely natural and stimulates the physiological processes of the body. It is non-invasive It is a completely safe, painless and comfortable treatment It increases the ATP in the cells which is the “fuel for life” It is a progressive and not an aggressive treatment It diminishes the appearance of fine lines and other expressions of ageing It provides strength to the muscles The results are cumulative in nature and if performed in a series, it provides long lasting and striking effects. It provides benefits such as reduction of anti-ageing expressions, scars, blemishes, toning, firming of muscles in the face and body without any downtime So far there are no side effects which have been reported till date

4. Microcurrent Body Lift
Trying physical training, extreme dieting, even some non-surgical options such as mesotherapy, LipoDissolve and endermology have all been tried to spot reduce the problems related to weight without any noticeable results. The problems range high and wide from flabby inner thighs, saddlebags, droopy buttocks, stretch marks and cellulite deposits showing up as unpleasant and even ugly looking wrinkles and thighs. Microcurrent body treatment is not just another method to reduce weight but it is a systematic therapy involving a physical manipulation of the tissue and muscles while delivering Microcurrent into the affected or problem areas with the help of conductive instruments like special gloves, probes or pads.
The Microcurrent experience The Microcurrent body lift uses advanced Microcurrent and wave form technology and the goal of this therapy is targeting skin tightening and toning, muscle building, inch –loss, skin refinement, wrinkle reduction and non-surgical face lifting. Many people are “biochemically unfit” which means that the energy level in them is less than the average. Microcurrent successfully helps these people in in improving their biochemical fitness through increasing the intensity of sessions in every visit without them having to undergo rigorous training, burn out sessions and long endurance training sessions. The Microcurrent treatment is a comfortable approach which replicates an advanced strength training workout to increase the stamina and endurance.
The procedure The Microcurrent device uses placement of body pads into which conductive plates are inserted. There are different channels using which muscular contraction and recovery are achieved and efficiently and effectively utilizing body’s cellular energy. The tolerance and need of the client determine the protocol for the body lifting which will be applied to him. The various protocols in Microcurrent body lift sessions are aimed to achieve different targets; Endurance and stamina With equal recovery and contraction time for the muscles, this program improves overall circulation thereby increasing the blood supply to the muscles so that they produce and store more energy. For instance, if your goal is to increase the number of push-ups or pull - ups that you can perform during single exercise session or improve your endurance for a competitive event naturally then Microcurrent treatment is for you. Strength and muscle growth In this body program, the recovery period is longer followed by a short contraction period of the muscle. This particular program gives enough time to your muscles to rest before eventually overloading it with energy without allowing from complete recovery between contractions. The result achieved is growth of the muscle. The overall intensity of the workout is high increasing the amount of muscle growth absolutely naturally without you having to undergo the stress and strain of rigorous training session. Fat and inch loss This particular program males use of the fact that when glucose in the blood and glycogen in the muscles have been used up for the production of energy, the body then uses primarily fatty acids for the Page | 21
for its fuel. The treatment starts with a short rest or recovery period which gradually equals the period of contraction during the treatment session. High intensity initial contractions to use up the energy needed for glycolysis (the process for the formation of energy in the cells of the body) is used quickly are then followed with moderate intensity by increasing the rest time. Allowing the body to consume free fatty acids for the formation of energy and giving it the time to remove lactic acid. This constitutes the best form of workout to maximize energy along with selectively burning fat.
The use of Microcurrent body lift The body treatment s perform an intense anaerobic workout eventually causing the body to efficiently use its energy, increase the metabolic rate and eliminate all the toxic waste from the body. These eventually lead to inch loss, increased muscular strength, increased elasticity in skin, reduction of scar tissue and cellulite. The main uses of Microcurrent body treatment are;
Stomach and body sculpting Reduction of back fat and toning of back muscles Toning and tightening of flabby arms Reduce the appearance of stretch marks, cellulite, scarring and dimpling especially effective in case of pregnancy, surgery etc. Spot treatment in specific body areas Increase muscle strength Increase stamina/endurance Burn fat and build lean muscle Build muscle mass and strength Inch loss Increase elasticity of the skin Skin tightening, hydration and overall appearance of the skin
The benefits of Microcurrent body lift Microcurrent body sculpting and contouring has become very popular and many estheticians and chiropractors claim that there is no other treatment similar to Microcurrent in body treatments when it comes to benefits. The major benefits involved in the Microcurrent body lift are;
Tightens and stretches the loose and wrinkled skin Shaping of the body and toning of the muscle Increase in the energy in the cells Firms and lifts buttocks Increases the blood flow and glandular activity to a normal and healthy state Improvement in the muscle strength

5. Microcurrent Devices
There are many high end Microcurrent devices presently available from renowned manufacturers which also provide ongoing training and support to the customers. There is a wide range of Microcurrent devices from small attachable devices to larger equipment. The machines come for a variety of uses ranging from stress management to electro head ache relief and with significant versatility in frequencies, current ranges, application modes as self-adjustment after receiving biofeedback signals from the patient. The machines are approved by FDA as “Class II medical devices” and need a qualified healthcare professional to use them.
The basics of the Microcurrent devices Microcurrent devices are those machines that output therapeutic current in the range of a millionth of an ampere or Microcurrent range. The most fundamental parts of a Microcurrent device are; Microamp and milliamp currents Microcurrent devices generally offer milli and Microcurrent through the same output channels and are most clinically useful even when used for pain relief. Multiple output channels There are two main mediums through which Microcurrent are applied to the body: probe electrodes and pad electrodes. While probe electrodes have very small contact points, pad probes can be applied on multiple areas at the same time. The pads can also be used with different frequencies. This provides deeper penetration of current and hence better results. Controls The Microcurrent device comes with adjustable polarity controls so that proper polarization of the current needed for a particular treatment can be delivered. Presets for Treatment There are Microcurrent devices which can be simply programmed through presets making them easier to be used by the esthetician without being a techno probe! The more presets device offers, the broader range it can be used over. With increasing skill and confidence, user can set up their own preset programs or alter the ones provided by the manufacturer.
The Microcurrent edge over other systems The popularity and success of Microcurrent devices is completely owed to the history of superior client responses and dramatic effects when compared with conventional milliamp devices. The two most significant benefits of a Microcurrent device over other conventional equipments are;
Since, most of the human body’s electricity is in the range of Pico (trillionth) and Nano (billionth) of an ampere range and reaches micro amp in certain cases, the Microcurrent devices have assumed greater efficacy and better result. Also, when compared with other older devices, the Microcurrent devices are associated with greater superiority due to their more precise and targeted treatment techniques.

Personal devices There are many hand held devices for Microcurrent therapy which are also available from many manufacturers for the personal use. Even though the results are instant and desirable but nothing comes close to the treatment one can receive at the hands of a profession through elaborate Microcurrent devices. Two such hand held devices are available from NeurotriS and NuFace. NeurotriS makes an advanced personal face and body toner known as NeurotriS PICO Toner, a hand held Microcurrent device which can be used at home to rejuvenate the natural ‘glow’ and ‘radiance.’ The device is FDA approved and claimed to be the most versatile hand held device. This hand held device can be sued for many benefits inclusive of;
Improve blood circulation Reduce fine lines and wrinkles Stimulate the production of proteins known as collagen and elastin Tighten the pores of the skin Improve overall tone
Dr. Linda Hillebrand performed one year clinical trial at three different local spas in California on 380 test subjects and using the NeurotriS devices for Pro body sculpting/Facial rejuvenation system against devices from Beautiful Image, Arasys, Pefector, Eurowave, CACI and found that the treatments performed with NeurotriS SX-4000 Pro yields 200% greater result than the other machines. The time taken for results were less than half the time and the results were also long lasting in nature. The trials clearly stated the following benefits; (Hillebrand)
98% of the subjects showed immediate results Results were long lasting with monthly maintenance treatments 97% of the subjects showed an inch loss ranging from ½ to 9 inches. 91% of the subjects retained the results as permanent
NuFace hand held device is also available from the manufacturers for use by the client themselves. Professional device NeurotriS NeurotriS provides body contouring systems and facial rejuvenation systems. The body contouring systems are preprogrammed with two sets of unique and specific frequency signatures which deliver many effects. The frequency sets provide different effects of enhancing the breakdown of fat in the body, through the chemical process of metabolism and hydrolysis thereby shrinking fat cells. Another set of frequency signals when applied to the body also brings about detoxification, drainage of waste materials and lymph, building muscle, body toning. The two frequency sets are harmonious with each other resulting in instant loss of inches and weight. Page | 25
The facial rejuvenation systems are also pre-programmed with unique and specific sets of frequency signatures which deliver several effects in facial rejuvenation. The system can be tuned to Micro, Nano and Pico levels of electric current which will not cause any facial contractions. The company has various patented technologies used in delivering the current to all the layers of the skin and bringing about a true facial sculpting. Skin for Life Skin for Life is another manufacturer offering world leading technology in Microcurrent providing two systems NuFusion ND NuFace to help the clients achieve consistent results on the skin of face and body. The combination of micro and macro currents, adjustable voltage selector allows the delivery of precise electrical currents triggering a series of natural physiological reactions in the body which leaves skin instantly firmer and brighter. Nu Fusion uses low levels of electrical current working in synergy with the body’s own biological current. The deliverance of the Microcurrent effectively amplifies the skins rejuvenating abilities strengthening the muscles and defining the face. The device treats fine lines, wrinkles, lifts jowls, eyelids, double chins, and improves muscle tones in face and neck and firms and tones the muscles in the face and the body. Nu Skin is another Microcurrent device which produces results which are cumulative and an aggressive treatment. IT acts on both the face and the body reducing jowls, double chin, lift droopy eyelids, increase lymphatic drainage, body contouring, aids in reduction of fat cells, body toning and lifting, revitalize healthy blood circulation.
Are hand held devices effective? The NuFace hand held device for instance also has FDA approval and emits the same level f current as a professional machine but the micro-amp is delivered via two probes. The hand held devices like PICO probe, FaceMaster and Nu Face instantly increased circulation to produce the skin that glows and is plump. But these effects do not last for more than a few hours. Unlike the Microcurrent treatment done by the professionals, the ‘do it yourself’ machines do not provide the same sophisticated, custom effects. Also there is a certain number of maintenance treatments required which only a professional can assess and perform. With the right expertise, Microcurrent can be used for dramatic results such as shaping the face for large periods of time with properly taken follow up sessions. The placement of the probes is of extreme importance for better results which only a professional can do for you. So, use hand held device just before an occasion to sway the party but if you are looking for long lasting dramatic results, go to a professional!
