A microcurrent facelift is a non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic technique that safely and effectively improves the health and appearance of the skin. A microcurrent facelift is also called a Bio-ultimate facelift. A microcurrent facelift uses technologies developed in the medical and physiotherapy fields to activate the skin’s natural chemicals responsible for health and vitality. A microcurrent facelift provides satisfying aesthetic results with less risk of side effects compared to a traditional facelift. The microcurrent facelift procedure is proven safe and effective, delivering results at a fraction of the cost of traditional procedures.

A microcurrent facelift delivers a variety of benefits to patients who wish to attain a healthier and younger looking appearance. A microcurrent facelift can be performed to achieve the following benefits: improve muscle tone in face and neck, lift jowls and eyebrows, reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, improve facial circulation, skin exfoliation, lymphatic drainage, sun damage treatment, skin pigment improvement, product penetration, and much more.

A microcurrent facelift utilizes microcurrent technology which uses gentle electrical stimulation to trigger the body’s natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level. Clinical studies have shown that after twenty days of treatment collagen production increases by 14 percent, elastin increases by 48 percent, and blood circulation increases by 38 percent. Scientists have also found that microcurrent facelift treatments trigger the body’s production of amino acids and ATP. Both of these accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production.

The best candidate for a microcurrent facelift is any patient who wishes to maintain or gain a youthful appearance. Younger clients can seek a microcurrent facelift to prevent some of the aesthetic effects of aging. Older clients can be rejuvenated by having a microcurrent facelift. Men and women, who are interested in having a microcurrent facelift, should speak to their cosmetic surgery specialist about what to expect before, during, and after the treatment. This information will help you develop realistic expectations about your microcurrent facelift so that you may enjoy the results of this procedure’s many benefits.

The microcurrent facelift procedure itself takes approximately one hour to complete and is virtually painless. A microcurrent facelift specialist will use a two pronged cotton tipped instrument to gently deliver electrical stimulation to the muscles and tissues of the face and/or neck. The microcurrent facelift procedure requires no anesthesia, no recovery time, no down time from work, and has no irritating side effects. To achieve the ultimate benefits of a microcurrent facelift, approximately twelve treatment sessions are recommended. Routine follow up treatments are performed to maintain microcurrent facelift results.
