What is Microcurrent and why does the New Life Natural Facelift work?

Microcurrent Technology is the only aesthetic treatment available that can physically firm and tone the skin through muscle re-education. The New Life Microcurrent Facelift is proven safe and effective as the Microcurrent mirrors the body’s own natural current and works in harmony with the body’s electrical system.

Microcurrent impulses trigger a chemical reaction at a cellular level to increase the effectiveness of how our bodies use ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a protein that is referred to as ‘the energy of life’ and is present in all living cells. By reproducing the body’s own biological current we can re-establish muscle memory naturally thus bringing more definition to the face and body.

There are 32 different muscles of the face that are manipulated during the average microcurrent treatment.

Microcurrent emits subtle electrical frequencies that mimic the body’s own electrical signals, thereby increasing the amount of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate, the chemical fuel of human cells) by as much as 500%. (The 1982 Cheng study proves that ATP levels were increased by 500% on tissue that was treated utilising less than 500 Ua. The study also indicated that ATP levels plummeted and depleted when treated with more than 500 Ua (visible muscle contractions.) Such increased levels of ATP speed cellular metabolism. The results can be seen in improved skin tone and colour, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the firming of sagging areas of the face. In other words, it can take those years off to look younger without surgery or downtime.

Microcurrent is a low level of electrical current that mirrors the body’s own natural current, sub-sensory in most cases. It’s proven and accepted properties and potential range in application – from wound healing, muscle rehabilitation, and macular degeneration of the eye to lymphodema — continues to assist medical practitioners with amazing results.

Aside from muscle re-education and massive increases in ATP levels, microcurrent has other proven benefits for aesthetic applications.

Studies to prove the effectiveness of Microcurrent.

Emil Y Chi, PhD, director of the University Of Washington‘s department of pathology, performed clinical studies using microcurrent equipment. He notes,” The fact that technology works in harmony with the body is evident. Examination of the skin tissue treated with microcurrent showed a 45% increase in the number of elastin fibres in the dermis, and the length if the fibres on average doubled. The collagen thickness in the connective tissues increased 10%, and the numbers of blood vessels increased by 35%. The application of microcurrent to skin and tissue produced a firmer and tighter feeling on the skin surface.

Microcurrent aids penetration of product.

In terms of product penetration, microcurrent offers specific Iontophoresis that allows superior penetration of water based products into the skin. The idea that the electrical current emits from one probe and returns to the other allows specific focus on products penetration, Chi’s 1999 study also proved that the redness, irritation and inflammation of surgically traumatised tissue could be decreased significantly when treated with microcurrent.

The build-up of hardened collagen that makes up scar tissue was noted to be three times less in tissue treated with microcurrent. Further studies also indicated an amazing dispersion of existing scars when treated with microcurrent. This indicates that in the realm of plastic surgery you can see the obvious place for microcurrent technology. By administering a series of treatments before surgery, muscle and tissue condition is maximised, inclusive of an excessive storage of ATP. Microcurrent treatment of sutures and trauma post-op decreases the down time by reducing inflammation, redness and irritation, while enhancing the healing ability and minimizing scar tissue. Post- surgery treatments also are vital to maintain the results of the surgical work

A clinical study on Microcurrent by the University of Washington indicates that by increasing ATP activity we achieve:

• Increased cell metabolism and plumping of “slack” muscles

• Enhanced fibroblast activity resulting in a 14% increase in natural collagen production

• Enhanced protein synthesis resulting in a 48% increase of natural elastin

• A 38% increase in blood circulation
