Rejuvenation. Our apparent age depends on a number of factors. Genetic inheritance is important, as is the way our skin has been treated throughout our lifetime. Young, radiant skin has a healthy look that, as we get older, begins to fade as the skin loses its ability to retain moisture. The skin becomes drier, loses elasticity and begins to show the effects of constant exposure to the environment.

Some of the changes that accompany aging are natural and inevitable. Damage caused by external factors, such as exposure to UV radiation, are known collectively as ‘extrinsic aging’. As our skin ages, the natural substances, which help the skin retain moisture, are reduced, causing it to become drier. In addition, the rate at which our skin sheds old cells slows down, the network of collagen and elastin which support the skin degrade, and the production of the natural pigment melanin can become uneven. Fluid buildup, wrinkles, and sagging are the result.

Scientists found that skin responds to a universal healing frequency that tones muscles, reduces fluid retention, and softens wrinkles. To stimulate cells and re-educate muscles, skin care professionals are now using micro-current technology. In addition, very specific techniques are also used to lift, tighten, and keep muscles firm. This process also creates elasticity within the tissue to further enhance our skin’s health.

What is Lift & Tone? The Lift & Tone micro-current stimulates Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production, which is the stored cellular energy that allows cells to properly function. When ATP is triggered the body’s natural bio-chemical healing process begins. This process restores intracellular fluids, replenishes electrolyte levels, and increases the nutrients’ absorption.

In addition, micro-current technology stimulates intra-cellular calcium to further strengthen cellular balance and healing. Blood circulation, lymphatic flow, and amino acid uptake are increased, as well as protein synthesis, assisting in tissue repair. Micro-current technology accelerates these vital functions and promotes optimal cell and tissue healing and regeneration.

The number of treatments each client needs depends upon their age and the skin’s condition. Clients are seen for an initial consultation to evaluate the skin’s condition and for a recommendation on an appropriate treatment regime.

In general, the initial series includes two to three treatments a week for five to six weeks. These treatments re-tone the muscles while rejuvenating the skin. After the initial series, most clients return once a month for “maintenance” treatment to keep the muscles tight and healthy.

Results. Most clients see a difference on the very first treatment. In fact, some clients prefer that their first treatment be limited to only half of the face so they can see and fully appreciate the subtle differences that occur with each treatment.
Treatments last approximately 20-25 minutes and are pleasant and relaxing. Because the equipment operates at micro-amperage levels, the client usually cannot feel any electrical sensation.

A Second Face Lift Within a few years of a surgical lift, muscles and skin will again begin to sag. Instead of opting for that next face lift, many clients are finding that the Lift & Tone Rejuvenation can be used to enhance and/or maintain many surgical procedures, providing that the area has completely healed. When compared to a surgical face lift, where the muscles and skin are cut and stretched, the recovery time – not to mention the expense – is often prohibitive to many clients.

The Anatomy of a Wrinkle

Age 35 Until the mid thirties, most women retain the fresh, wrinkle-free skin of their youth.

Age 45 By the age of forty-five, the upper cheek muscles may elongate by as much as half an inch, dragging the skin over the cheeks downward to form pouches by the corner of the mouth.

Age 55 By the age of fifty-five, the upper cheek muscles will have stretched by at least three quarters of an inch, forming creases around the ears, mouth, and jaw line.

Lift & Tone Rejuvenation

Facial muscles are lifted and tightened during this treatment through micro-current technology. By stimulating the skin’s tissue, the skin’s elasticity and condition improves dramatically. The treatment includes deep cleansing and the “lifting and toning” process. Developed by medical science, this is a system of interrelated therapies whereby the muscles and connective tissues of the face, chin and neck are strengthened and tightened.

Micro-current was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show in February 2004 as breakthrough technology for the health and beauty industry, and is seen as a wonderful alternative to invasive injections.
