Micro-current facial care is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate the facial muscles, boost cellular activity, and enhance the skin’s natural rejuvenation processes. Often referred to as a “non-surgical facelift,” this technique helps to tone and tighten the skin, improve facial contour, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The micro-currents mimic the body’s natural electrical signals, encouraging collagen and elastin production while improving blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Treatments are gentle, pain-free, and suitable for most skin types, delivering immediate visible results with cumulative benefits over time.
Perfect for those seeking a natural, youthful glow, micro-current facial care offers a safe and effective way to refresh and lift the skin without downtime.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of micro-current facial sessions you need depends on your age, skin condition, and desired results. Here’s a general guideline:
Initial Phase (Building Results):
- Recommended: 1 sessions per week
- Duration: For about 4–6 weeks
This phase helps to retrain facial muscles, stimulate collagen production, and lay the foundation for longer-term results.
Maintenance Phase:
- Recommended: Once every 2–4 weeks
- This maintains the lifted, toned appearance and keeps collagen and elastin production active.
Your beauty therapist can customise a plan based on your skin’s needs and goals. You’ll often see visible improvement even after one session, but optimal, lasting results typically come with consistency.
What to Do Before a Micro-current Facial?
- Hydrate Your Body:
- Drink plenty of water 24 hours before your appointment. Well-hydrated skin conducts the micro-current more effectively.
- Arrive with Clean Skin (if possible):
- Avoid heavy makeup or oily skincare products before your session. A clean face helps the micro-current penetrate better.
- Moisturise Your Skin:
- Apply a light, water-based moisturiser the day of your treatment. Avoid heavy or oil-based creams.
- Eat Lightly:
- A light meal a few hours before treatment can help avoid dizziness or discomfort.
What to Do After a Micro-current Facial?
- Hydrate Well:
- Drink plenty of water before and after treatment. Micro-current works best when your skin is well-hydrated.
- Apply Moisturiser or Serum:
- Use a hydrating serum (preferably with hyaluronic acid) and a nourishing moisturiser to lock in moisture and support collagen production.
- Use Sunscreen:
- Protect your skin with SPF 30 or higher daily. Even though there’s no surface damage, your skin is still sensitive and needs protection.
- Continue Gentle Skincare:
- Use mild, non-irritating products for at least 24 hours after your session.
