In an industry that is constantly changing it is important as licensed practitioners to stay on top of the latest equipment trends and innovative technology. Being able to offer your clients treatments that give instant results will guarantee client retention. MicroCurrent, also known as 'the non-surgical facelift' has been featured on Oprah and considered one of Hollywood's best kept secrets for the last few years and since it's recent media explosion has hit mainstream spas and medispas.

MicroCurrent is the only aesthetic treatment available that can physically firm and tone the skin through muscle re-education. This process of a gentle 're-education' of the fine facial muscles stimulates them with very small amounts of electricity. MicroCurrent is a specific amount of electricity that mirrors the body's own natural current and works in harmony with the body's electrical system. MicroCurrent impulses trigger a chemical reaction at a cellular level to increase the effectiveness of how our bodies use ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a protein that is referred to as 'the energy of life'. MicroCurrent mimics the electrical signals from the brain to the message center of the muscle, which is the tendon, the MicroCurrent stimulates the tendon thus aiding in strengthening the muscles by bringing more definition to the face and body. By reproducing the body's own biological current we can re-establish muscle memory naturally.

MicroCurrent works on expression aging by causing the muscles to flex and relax which is an effective method of 're-educating', strengthening, firming and toning slack, sagging muscles. MicroCurrent improves blood flow and increases the supply of vital nutrients to the muscle tissue and individual muscle fibers improving the tone and quality of the skin. By improving blood circulation the overall health, function and appearance of the skin is greatly enhanced.

For muscles to contract they need energy, that energy comes from adenosine triphoshate. ATP is the only energy source that muscles have to power their activity and these muscle fibers store only a limited supply of ATP. So, by increasing the supply of ATP to these muscle fibers MicroCurrent plays a crucial role in cell metabolism and plumping up those slack muscles. MicroCurrent also enhances fibroblast activity (collagen) and protein synthesis (elastin) because of the increased activity of ATP.

Skin for Life, a division of Lifeline Medical has taken this treatment to the next level. With their medical background it has allowed them to develop equipment that is innovative and introduce it to the spa world for not only the face, but for the face and body. Skin for Life's NueFusion 200 + 600, MicroCurrent offers unique precision engineering that provides the combination of micro & macro currents with their exclusive alternating polarity system. Their incremental adjustable voltage selector allows delivery of precise electrical current. These signals of MicroCurrent trigger a myofibril reaction that contract the muscle while enhancing production of natural collagen and elastin. Because blood flow is increased oxygen levels are elevated in the epidermis and dermis leaving the skin firmer and instantly brighter.

Skin for Life offers the aesthetician a powerful modality that allows us to offer the client a non-surgical alternative. With today's technology the aesthetician can effectively improve the over all health and appearance of the client's skin while fighting the battle of aging non-invasively.

The nue fusion offers the latest technology utilizing low levels of current with advanced wave forms that work in synergy with the body's own biological current to address the visible signs of aging and to help restore the face to its youthfulness and vitality. This low level electrical current using MicroCurrent is often referred to as 'the non-surgical' face lift. The muscles of the body require both electrical and chemical activity in order to perform the daily activities of the body. As the body ages the reactions triggered by our electrical impulses slows down and the skin begins to lose its elasticity and suppleness.
Since we know the body responds to electrical current, this non-invasive and effective technology can be utilized for its many benefits in the skin care industry.
