Not only can a non-surgical facelift treatment deep cleanse and change the texture of the skin, but it will also help to tone and lift the muscles of the face. This technology will actually help to lift droopy eyebrows, tighten sagging jowls and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. During a Microcurrent facelift, the ATPs can actually rise to 500%, which equals more collagen and elastic production and totally equates to healthier overall skin and appearance. I can guarantee the results from your first facial, and this is even for younger skins.
As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and youthful glow, which can leave you looking older than your inner self. We start to notice ageing in our twenties and my types of technology facials should be the first go to to help no matter what age you are. So if you are looking to improve the overall look and health of your skin then please start having regular facials from a younger age. Remember that even one facial a few months apart is still better than no facials. You can increase this to monthly as you get older or have more time to fit this in. These facials make a guaranteed difference and it is worth trying one so you know what is there for when you need it. A course of treatments may be recommended for those of you wanting to restore a more youthful appearance and ask me for more information.
More information on each technology is further on down.

Karen’s Facial Aftercare Information
You can resume your normal daily activities after a microcurrent or technology facial. However avoid rubbing or applying pressure (exfoliating) to the skin during the first 24/48hrs hours of the treatment. Also avoid skincare products with active ingredients that may irritate the skin (includes retinol). Microdermabrasion has different aftercare instructions and I will have told you these at your appointment.
Also avoid picking, squeezing if you have a deep cleansing or rebalancing facial, and try to avoid make up for 6 -12 hrs after. If you have normal skin then make up can be applied after your facial and it will not hinder your treatment. Avoid sunbeds or the sun for 24 hrs after your treatment.
To maintain the wonderful glow from my facials please consider if your homecare routine is the best match for you. My technology facials work best when your skin has the correct moisture levels and I can help you figure out your skin and check your products at any appointment. Always analyse your skin health every time before purchasing a skincare product, and remember to ask for advise if you are not sure what to use.
Extra Microdermabrasion Instructions:
PRE TREATMENT – Avoid the use of Accutane 6 months prior to treatment. Avoid sun tanning, tanning creams or spray tans for at least a week before your treatment.
Discontinue use of products containing alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic etc), salicylic acid, retinoids (retin a, renova, differin, tazorac, etc.) and topical acne products for at least a week prior to your treatment.
Avoid sun tanning, tanning creams or sprays for at least a week before treatment. ( No facial treatments can go ahead if you present with sunburn)
Do not wax, tweeze, or use a depilatory on treated areas for a week prior before treatment.
Facial hair should be shaved a day before treatment.
Microdermabrasion is not recommended during pregnancy.
Avoid laser hair removal, laser skin rejuvenation, electrolysis, botox and dermal fillers for two to three weeks before treatment.
POST TREATMENT
You may have mild redness and minimal swelling for a few minutes up to 48hrs. You may apply Aloe Vera or a cold compress. Post Procedure products available for course treatments.
Acne may flare up if the skin is congested as microdermabrasion helps to purge the skin of impurities.
Avoid exercise or excessive perspiration for 24hrs after procedure.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning on treated areas for at least 3 days after treatment. Daily sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is vital to maintain the improved skin.
Avoid use of same products above for at least 3 days after treatment. Do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory on treated areas for a week after treatment.
Some peeling may occur on the treated areas, applying a moisturiser twice daily will help minimize this effect.
Avoid scratching or picking at the treated area, this could cause unwanted hyperpigmentation.
MICROCURRENT INFORMATION
Microcurrent Facial treatments may help with the following conditions:
Reduction of fine lines, creases and wrinkles.
Reduction in hydration and revitalization, resulting in smoother and softer skin.
Improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Rejuvenating restoration of the “pink glow” of youthful tones.
Visible firming and contouring, lifting overall drooping features.
Tightening of sagging jowls, doubling chins and fatty cheeks. Reduction and shrinking of enlarged facial pores.
Reduction of blackheads and acne.
Reduction of scars and pitting.
Reduction of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.
Microcurrent has been proven to:
Increase the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate, the chemical that fuels the cells) by 500%
Increase blood circulation by 35%
Increase Gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose) by 40%
Increase the number of elastin fibres in the dermis by 45%
Increase the length of elastin fibres by 50%
Increase the collagen thickness in the connective tissue by 10%
Increase the number of blood vessels by 35%
Increase the lymphatic drainage by 28%
Although this treatment can be enjoyed and experienced as a one-time treatment, it is recommended that at least 10 – 12 treatments be scheduled for maximum results. The reason is that microcurrent is stimulating the muscles as if they are working out and the same holds true for other muscles in your body. One workout does not firm and hold the muscles, but cumulative treatments will. Microcurrent facelift treatments are suggested as two in the first week, and then once a week for the remaining eight treatments. After which time maintenance treatments will be needed every four to six weeks. (Of course, depending on the age and condition of the skin, protocol treatments will vary.)
DIAMOND MICRODERMABRASION GUIDE
Diamond Dermabrasion provides a non-surgical skin refinish procedure, by using sterile diamond heads to abrade or diminish the top skin layer, then vacuuming out particles along with any impurities and dead skin back up. This procedure removes skin debris, imperfections, blemishes, wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation on the skin. Moderate usage of Diamond Dermabrasion, accompanied by skin products that penetrate through the top skin layer that reaches the dermis level, helps to replenish natural nutrients, restore cell activity, and promote skin health. The results after Micro Dermabrasion treatment are usually healthy, glowing, beautiful skin.
Micro-Dermabrasion is a cutting-edge facial that provides advanced results in:
Evening out the texture of the skin.
Improvement of overall skin health.
Deep cleansing and decongesting.
Reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Rejuvenation of sun-damaged skin – face, neck, shoulders, back, arms and legs.
Reduction of age spots.
Minimization of blotchy skin colouring.
Reduction of acne and superficial scars from past injury.
Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. Helps to clean pores and reduce pore size.
Reduction of oily skin.
ULTRASOUND FACIAL
This technology uses high-level sound wave technology to penetrate deep below the surface of the skin promoting cellular renewal and repair, with effects lasting a month into the skin. this healing and non-invasive therapy also has numerous benefits including toning muscles, increasing blood circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage, combating puffiness and swelling, and improving skincare product penetration.
This technology creates clear, radiant, more youthful-looking skin without redness and is safe to use for all skin types and conditions. Ultrasound waves penetrate the skin to cleanse, hydrate, increase circulation, promote collagen production, and kill bacteria. After the treatment the skin is noticeably improved and healthy.
PHOTON LIGHT THEAPY
Photo-rejuvenation works by unique light-emitting diodes (LEDs) producing soft cold light at specific wavelengths (red, blue, green etc) which have different properties on the cells (much less damaging to the skin). Colour therapy is available in red, blue, green, yellow, purple, cyan and white. The tissues of the body easily absorb light, different tissues absorb different beams of light. When absorbed the specific beams of light stimulate the body’s own repair and regenerative mechanisms, so they can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies.
Benefits of Led therapy include:
* increased radiance
* firms skin ( lifts aged and tired skin)
* more consistent skin colouration and complexion
* increases skin moisture retention
* increases circulation (due to the increased formation of new capillaries)
* promotes collagen production for plumper, more youthful-looking skin
* increases oxygenation and restoration of skin’s natural cellular activity, which keeps skin renewed and fresh
* increases lymphatic system drainage which detoxifies the skin tissue for a healthy look and feel of young skin
* Reduces inflammation in skin conditions such as acne
* May reduce sebum by normalizing the skin thereby helping control acne breakouts
