Non-Surgical Face Lifting
Why should I consider non-surgical face lifting?
The long-term effects of life ’s stress eventually shows up somewhere on the body, and the face is one of the first places showing degeneration and sagging. The telltale signs are these; the skin begins to dry out, blotches of discoloration appear, muscles lose their tone, cheeks and jowls start to sag, wrinkles spread and deepen. We begin to look older than our years.
​
For skin to age well on all levels, several steps need to take place:
a) First, a proper high tech Skin Scan Analysis should be performed to look at the 7 areas of your skin, so you know
where you're at.
b) Ensure adequate internal nutrition & hydration,
c) Customized at-home skin care to prolong & maintain professional treatments,
d) The most gentle & effective Professional Peeling method possible to remove impurities &
dead surface cells allowing for maximum nutrient absorption,
e) Micro Lifting Treatments to re-energize the 30 muscles of the face so they remember to
contract instead of stretching & remaining slack. Micro Lifting Facials to the rescue!
What Causes Muscles To Sag?
The muscles in the face are like small elastic bands under the skin. As we grow older, they lose their electrical charge and elasticity, allowing the facial skin to sag. This sagging becomes particularly noticeable around the eyes, mouth and chin, where even the slightest slackness has an undesirable effect on the facial appearance.
Kinesiologists (muscle specialists) have demonstrated that any muscle can be re-programmed to accept or release its tone. The face has over thirty muscles directly below and connected to, the skins surface. As we age, muscles lose their electrical memory and tend to expand (lengthen), forgetting to contract (shorten) or return to their normal state. By re-energizing the muscles with micro currents, improved muscle tone results.
How Do Micro Currents Work?
The Micro Lifting system uses sub-sensory low frequency micro-currents to stimulate the memory of each facial muscle at specific points. Due to the sensitivity of the facial muscles, and the degree of exercise, facial improvement takes longer than improving the figure. The treatments increase lymphatic drainage of the face, resulting in a more glowing complexion and a reduction of eye puffiness. Due to increased cellular turnover, the Micro Lifting method also softens scar tissue, lightens pigmentation, reduces lines and re hydrates the skin.
How Is The Micro Lifting Facial Performed?
This comfortable & relaxing treatment is performed using the most sophisticated European technology available. Two handheld wands are applied to specific facial muscles in specific ways while you relax on a facial bed. One Quantum Ultrasonic Peel should be performed with every other Micro Lifting Facial treatment, as the lifting facials increase cellular turnover & excessive top layers should not be allowed to accumulate. After the appropriate customized series your face will feel more alive and look vibrant for several months.
What Does The Quantum Ultrasonic Peeling Really Do?
Quantum Ultrasonic Peeling utilizes Ultrasound waves, oscillating at 28000 pulses per second, emitted through a special hand piece. This causes micro-cavitations in the epidermal layers (something like mini earthquakes) that break up dead cells & assists the skin to gently purge unwanted debris. The purifying action of this state-of-the-art protocol further assists in the flushing of excess oils & impurities, allowing for a deeper penetration & absorption of nourishing corrective serums due to the shifting and opening of micro inter cellular channels in the dermis thus greatly increasing the deeper penetration of actives by up to 85% over conventional massage. This adjunctive treatment is gentle on every skin type as well as relaxing and does not cause any irritation.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
A minimum of twelve to fifteen relaxing treatments, at a rate of 2-3 per week, is recommended. Improvement is normally noticed after the very first treatment. An immediate lifting of the face will be apparent and after four treatments a marked improvement in the tone of the eyelids and the area beneath the eye will be evident.
How Long Will The Results Last?
The length of time a Micro Lifting Facial series will last depends largely on the individual’s age, skin tone and lifestyle. The average time tends to be between twelve to eighteen months. However; after the goal has been reached, the best way to ensure long lasting results is for the client to invest in a maintenance program of one treatment every 4 – 6 weeks, on an ongoing basis. We offer a Special Bonuses when a client purchases an Annual Skin Fitness Membership package. Additionally, we offer a payment program to facilitate the process for each client.
