Microcurrent: Contra-Indication For Microcurrent Treatment
Microcurrent: Contra-Indication For Microcurrent Treatment
Microcurrent Timings:
Skin rejuvenation through an improved muscle and skin tone – lines and
slack facial contours will appear less obvious.
Frown lines resulting from tense muscles are softened.
Open pores of greasy skin type tightened.
Cells degenerate with ageing, resulting in reduced nutrients and oxygen.
Affects cellular metabolism.
Electrical current stimulates cell metabolism.
Increase permeability of cell membranes
Thereby improving movement of material in and out of the cells.
Current directly stimulates muscle fibres.
Low intensity does not cause visible contraction as seen in faradic
treatment.
CONTRA – INDICATIONS FOR MICROCURRENT TREATMENT
Clients who suffer from migraines should not be treated around the eye
or forehead area.
PROCEDURE FOR FACIAL MICROCURRENT TREATMENT:
Position the machine on the stable base and check that the plugs, leads
are secure.
Select the appropriate controls.
Check that the intensity is at zero.
Select the electrodes, prepare them as instructed in the manual and
secure them into the machine (use organic cotton buds-moisture them)
Microcurrent is Interruptive direct current (current moves from one
electro (+) to the other(-)
Apply the conductive gel to the client treated skin surface.
Use 3 types of techniques: glide (to smooth fine lines); grab and hold
technique ( for sagging muscles and for lifting effect); slide technique
(stretching and relaxing the muscle, personal lines)
Always move black electrodes towards red electrodes
After treatment return all setting to zero.
Switch of the machine.
Remove excess conductive gel from client skin surface.
Clean and tone the clients skin
Apply appropriate mask or serum/concentrate, according to the client
treatment
