Face Sculpture (Microcurrent) is known to be the most effective non-surgical method to take years off the face. Our treatments take the efficacy of microcurrent to a new level by pairing it with gentle, restorative acupuncture points used on the body to rebalance the constitution. Along with award winning Swiss skin care products, this combination provides dramatic results and is incredibly relaxing. During treatment most patients fall asleep as it is so stress releasing. 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, provide circulatory benefits, and re-educate the muscles of the face. The result is immediate firming, smoothing, and re-hydration of the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Microcurrent lifts, sculpts and tightens, provides immediate results, and has no downtime.

How does microcurrent 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 get stuck 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 Face Sculpture treatment. The treatment lifts, smoothes, tightens and tones. Probes are used to physically move the muscle into the desired position to perform muscle re-education – the process of lengthening or shortening muscles. Having muscle re-education movements performed in a series re-trains the muscles to maintain this new contour. Face Sculpture 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. Once a series is completed, the results can be maintained by by coming in every 4-6 weeks for maintenance treatments. Additionally, a series can be repeated every few years. If the full series of treatments is completed and maintenance sessions are continued on a monthly basis, results should last 3-4 years. Face Sculpture is one of the fastest growing services in the esthetic anti-aging industry today. Microcurrent has been proven to provide the following:
  • 500% increase in cellular energy (ATP) to muscle cells leading to increased muscular tone
  • 12% increase in 20 days in natural collagen production to increase hydration and fullness
  • 48% increase in 20 days in natural elastin production
  • 39% increase in 20 days in blood circulation
What are the benefits of Face Sculpture treatments?
  • Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved muscle tone in face and neck
  • Improved circulation
  • Lift of jowls and eyebrows
  • Lymphatic drainage
  • Product penetration
  • Smoother, firmer skin
  • Hydrated and revitalized skin
  • Improved elasticity
  • Recommended treatments
The number of sessions depends on the client age and skin condition. The effects of Face Sculpture are immediate and cumulative. Clients go through a series of treatments followed by regular maintenance to keep a more youthful appearance. Each time a treatment is performed the new contour maintains its position better and longer. Typically clients will notice about 5 year reduction in facial aging. The following are general and approximate guidelines for frequency of treatment:
  • 20 – 30 years old: Preventative, to slow down the aging process, once a month.
  • 30 – 35 years old: Initial series of 15, twice per week. Maintenance every 6-8 weeks
  • 35 – 40 years old: Initial series of 15-20, twice or three times per week. Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
  • 40 – 50 years old: Initial series of 20, three times per week. Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
  • 50 – 60 years old: Initial series of 20, three times per week. Maintenance every 4-6 weeks
  • 60 plus years old: Initial series of 15-20, ideally twice per week. Maintenance every 4 weeks
  • Perfect for special occasions or a quick pick-me-up for an instant lift lasting up to two days.
  • Excellent for post surgical facelift to maintain the lift and treat blood stasis, scarring, and numbness.
Individuals with the following should not receive microcurrent:
  • Pacemaker
  • Pregnancy
  • Thrombosis
  • Phlebitis
  • Epilepsy
  • Cancer
If you have had a botox or filler treatment, we recommend to wait two weeks to receive a Face Sculpture facial.  However, there is no downtime after a Face Sculpture  facial.  Patients who regularly get Face Sculpture facials actually lessen the need for and frequency of botox.
