FAQ

  • What is microcurrent and how can it benefit my skin?
    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.
  • Would I see results in just one session?
    Yes! Results are immediately seen after the first application and continue to improve with each subsequent application. It has cumulative effect. Microcurrent is performed to achieve the following: Improve muscle tone in face and neck Sculpt and lift facial and neck muscles Increase product penetration Reduce wrinkles and fine lines Improve facial circulation Energize cells and restore youthful glow Recommended Treatments The number of sessions depends on your age and skin condition. The effects of microcurrent are immediate and cumulative. It is recommended to start with a series of treatments followed by regular maintenance to keep a more youthful appearance. Each time a treatment is performed the new contour maintains its position better and longer. The list below shows industry recommended treatment intervals based on age. This is just a guide.
