What is Microcurrent??

Microcurrent is becoming the HOTTEST facial treatment of 2016!   

It's been popular in California; Celebrities have been doing Microcurrent facials to avoid injectables, such as Botox or fillers and even avoid face lifts.



What is Microcurrent??


Microcurrent uses electromagnetic waves that performs two incredible functions:

1) It works the facial muscles (think of it as a workout for the face).  It will minimize fine lines and can even smooth out deep wrinkles as well as lift and tone sagging skin.  

2) It aids in penetration of products - which means that it can help treat skin conditions like Acne, Rosacea and dark spots or uneven skin tone and shrink pore size.

Microcurrent even works under the eye area and can minimize dark circles, fine lines, and even wrinkled, crepey skin in the eye area.

Who can benefit from Microcurrent Facials??

Anyone over the age of 25 who is concerned with aging skin such as fine lines or deeper wrinkles, sagging skin and wants to continue to look young and slow down the aging process!

The earlier you start, the better the benefits are for your facial muscles!  


I've been getting a lot of questions about Microcurrent, so I've added in a Q&A...


Q:  What is a Microcurrent facial??

A:  Microcurrent can be performed with your monthly facial or it can be done as just the treatment.  

Q:  What is the facial consist of?? 

A:  Using 2 probes to lift and smooth out wrinkles and sagging skin, there are a series of movements that target the facial muscles as well as the neck.

Q:  How long is the facial??

A:  The Microcurrent treatment is about 30 minutes. The facial is 90 minutes - that includes your Customized facial with extractions, serums and a mask.

Q:  How many treatments do I need??

A:  If you're 25-35, you will need monthly Microcurrent facial.
* 35-50, you will need 6-8 weekly Microcurrent treatments, then monthly maintenance facials.
* 50+ you will need twice-weekly for 4 weeks, once a week for 4 weeks, then every 2-3 weeks for maintenance.

Q:  When will I see results??

A:  After the first treatment!

I have been practicing on my mom, sister and friend.  I literally watched my mom's dark circles under her eyes lighten up during the treatment!!


These photos are my sister before and after 1 Microcurrent facial! 

Q:  Do I need to continue with monthly Microcurrent facials??

A:  Yes.  Remember it works the muscles of the face & just like with exercise, if you don't keep up, your muscles get weak and you lose muscle tone.  The same applies to the muscles in the face, in order to maintain the results, you will need maintenance facials.  

Most clients come every 4-6 weeks for facials and Microcurrent will be added into that service each month.

Do you REALLY know whats in that product you saved money purchasing online??

We are all guilty for making those online purchases because we can get a great deal.  If we spend $XX we get either FREE shipping or a gift with purchase.  How can you resist???  

Well I am here to tell you WHY buying online isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.

Being an Esthetician, I trained & learned about the skin & how the skin works with certain products.  I also understand skin conditions & how certain products can make or break the desired results of your skin.  I understand that I can suggest a product to you & you can turn around & purchase it cheaper online.
Here are 5 reasons why you should take my advice and purchase through a trained professional...
#1 MOST PRODUCTS PURCHASED ON AMAZON OR EBAY ARE EXPIRED!!!!!!!! 

This is why products are sold so cheap!!!  You can be buying expired products, which means that the active ingredients are no longer effective.  Also bacteria can begin to grow because the preservatives begin to lose their effectiveness. 

Or worse yet, you're NOT getting the product that you actually bought, because it's been repackaged!
#2 HAVE YOU HEARD OF DUMPSTER DIVING??
Some people have even gone to extremes and sit outside of Sephora or Ulta or the malls waiting for expired, damaged or already opened & returned products to be tossed and they grab them and turn around & sell them online!
This is really scary, again because even if it's packaged as the product you're buying, it may not be that product!  If a product was damaged, they can replace it as something else.
#3 I WILL SAVE YOU MONEY OVER THE LONG-TERM: 
Here's a great example that I hear a lot in my spa..."I just bought this amazing serum because my friend told me her wrinkles are gone!".  Being a trained professional, I immediately begin to ask questions.  What kind of skin does your friend have?  Are her skin care concerns the same as yours? How does YOUR skin feel when you use it?
I see it constantly, most of us are using the wrong products that just don't work for our skin.  Most OTC product lines carry specific lines, such as anti-aging, acne, rosacea or treatment of dark spots.
By using a professional line and getting the help from a Licensed Esthetician, you will be using a product that works and you won't have to waste your money trying all these products that can dry you out, strip your skin of oil or even cause breakouts!
#4 YOU CAN TOUCH, SMELL & FEEL PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS!!
Most spas & Estheticians offer FREE skin care consultations that INCLUDE a Cleanse, Exfoliation & Moisturizing treatment.  We also have you bring in your current products to see what you’re using to ensure nothing will irritate or create a negative effect in your skin.
Again, being licensed in Skin, we can understand if something is not working and we can get you in a product that will work.  

#5 YOU ARE IN THE BEST HANDS (NO PUN INTENDED)...
When my clients come in, the first thing I do is touch their skin & feel it before beginning any service.  This tells me the current condition of your skin and can help guide me to ask questions about products or your current regimen.
I then base my facials to fit specific needs at that time and re-evalute your at home products and adjust at the end.  

Estheticians are your personal skin care consultant.  Find one that you love and stick with her, because your skin WILL Thank You in the end!
