If Only Toning Our Abs Was This Easy!

Our Skin Fit Facial has arrived at Skin Studio Spa, and it has people asking - what is this fancy new device and how does it work?

This new Facial incorporates our existing LED Therapy and amazing organic products with the incredible benefits of micro-current technology.
Micro-current has been widely used for over 30 years by physicians, occupational therapists, chiropractors and acupuncturists - but once it's tissue repairing capabilities were discovered, it was quickly introduced to the aesthetics industry for facial rejuvenation. It has since been proven that micro-current helps accelerate healing, increase circulation, and improve muscle tone, among other benefits.

First, the science-y stuff...
As you may or may not know, as we age, our cell turnover rate slows, and more and more of our skin cells become damaged. All damaged cells are deficient in a coenzyme known as adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. ATP is the cell's main energy source and is essential in the healing process. When we apply micro-current to the skin, it helps increase circulation and ATP within the cells and therefore allow nutrients to flow to the damaged cells and build new proteins. It is also believed that as we age, the body's natural electrical current becomes "misdirected", and by applying micro-current we can reprogram the muscles back to their original shape. Because the technology works in harmony with our body's natural functions, the result is dramatically increased elastin fibres, (both in number and length), as well as collagen thickness and number of blood vessels in the skin. Overall, the result is firmer, tighter, more youthful skin.


So how does this treatment compare to other anti-aging treatments on the market?
Well, what if I told you, you could get the results of a face lift without surgery, or even the prick of a needle? For years, doctors have been turning to Botox and fillers to mimic the effect of a brow lift for example, but with micro-current we can create the same great results, without the side effects! We can even slim the jawline, define the cheek bones, and smooth common expression lines between the brows and in the naso-labial fold. Over time, Botox injections can cause the muscle to atrophy, so even though micro-current can mimic the results of Botox, it can also be a beneficial complementary treatment to provide "plumpness" to the muscle and generate controlled muscle activity. Just remember to allow two-weeks post injections prior to going for a micro-current facial.

Think of micro-current as your personal trainer for your face. It strengthens and tones facial muscles, among many other benefits, and has even been dubbed the "pilates for your face"! Makeup artists love to keep NuFace in their kit to help create a more almond shaped eye, and a more dramatic arch in the brow. In as little as five minutes they can tighten, and create a gentle lift, and even help you look more awake! Oh, and don't worry, the current works below the sensation threshold, so you will only feel a slight tingling sensation, if anything at all - in fact, many clients fall asleep during their facial!
