As baby boomers age, more advances are being made in anti-aging products to meet their needs. Electronic facial machines, which are designed to tighten and tone sagging facial muscles, are no exception.
The latest facial toning machines use “microcurrent” technology and are one of the hottest things in the anti-aging industry right now. There is a good reason why these machines are so popular. Using microcurrent pulses, they deliver near-instant visible results to tighten, tone and firm aging skin. In fact, the results of microcurrent facial toning are so dramatic that it is often referred to as a “non-surgical face lift.”
How does microcurrent facial toning work? To understand that, we must first understand what causes the skin on our face to wrinkle and sag. As we age, our muscles get used to certain expressions and tend to “stick” 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 begin to atrophy, leading to sagging. An example of this can often be seen around the jaw, chin and neck lines, where we tend to develop sagging or loss of definition as we age.
Microcurrent facial toning machines deliver safe and painless impulses to the muscles of the face that help overly tense muscles relax and help underworked muscles regain strength. In essence, microcurrent facial toning “re-educates” the facial muscles, restoring them almost to their original shape.
When this happens the visible results are quite dramatic and the face is lifted, firmed and toned to return to a much more youthful appearance. At the same time, microcurrents improve circulation to the face, which stimulates collagen production, improves tone and texture, and improves or eliminates fine lines.
Besides the fact that it actually works, one of the things that makes microcurrent facial toning so popular is that most people see visible results after just one treatment. This provides “instant gratification” rarely seen as a result of other anti-aging products or techniques. In fact, the results are so remarkable that if you only treat half of your face once, you can see a visible difference between the half you treated and the half you didn’t.
Microcurrent facial toning is also cumulative, which means that the more treatments you have, the more improvements you will see in your face. Treatments are quite expensive, with an average cost of $110/treatment. Most people receive at least 7-12 treatments to get the desired results.
Although microcurrent facial toning is the current “buzz word” in anti-aging, the technology is not new. It has over 50 years of historical data and clinical trials supporting its anti-aging benefits. It is a great peace of mind that shows that it will not only work, but also that it is safe and has no long-term side effects.
Microcurrent facial toning is an excellent alternative to having a facelift as it is non-invasive, requires no downtime, provides instant results, and does not have the same potential for harmful complications as surgery.
