Microcurrent is known to be the one of most effective non-surgical method to take years off the face.
Microcurrent is a non-invasive, anti-aging treatment that uses electrical currents that mimic the body's natural electrical currents, to stimulate the muscles and deeper layers of the skin on your face. At The Chill Facialist, I utilize this technology to help tone and firm your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful, radiant complexion. Microcurrent enhances cellular activity and boosts collagen and elastin production.
Microcurrent is a very popular anti aging skin treatment used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving texture and appearance of skin and reducing the overall visual appearance of aging. Skin therapists use microcurrent to tone and firm the skin. Microcurrent will reprogram the muscle fiber and re-educate the muscles. This results in improved facial contours, better skin texture, and a noticeable lift.
