Hydratone Facial

Micro-current stimulation delivers tiny electrical impulses that mirror the body’s natural bioelectrical field. In most cases, treatment is virtually sub- sensory with just a slight electric tingling sensation. Initially developed for treating facial palsy Micro-current therapy has now been shown beneficial when applied during physiotherapy sessions—pain control through electrical impulses delivered via low voltage currents passed across electrodes placed on targeted areas: Re-educates muscles. Micro-current stimulation can increase blood and lymph circulation. Micro-current stimulation enhances the penetration of the active ingredients of skincare formulations. Micro-current stimulation increases the production of collagen and elastin. Micro-current stimulation increases protein synthesis, gluconeogenesis and cell membrane transport. Lastly, micro-current stimulation increases mitochondria activity, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Microcurrent in aesthetics is commonly described as “facial toning or non-surgical face lifting” due to the dramatic lifting effect that micro-current has on facial muscles and facial contours. True micro-current uses a current with an intensity of less than one-millionth of an amp (< 1mA). Because of its low intensity, it does not cause a physical or visual contraction of the muscle. Instead, micro-current stimulation works by a process called muscle re-education. In the 1960s Doctors, S. Baker and S.Doyle demonstrated that effective and long term muscle re-education, using micro-current if ultra-low frequencies (less than 1 Hertz).
