Leg, Arm and Abs Days exist but what about Face Day?
While most are familiar with muscle toning, few realize there is also a facial-toning machine designed specifically to sculpt and lift skin. This treatment is known as non-invasive “non-surgical facelift.” This procedure can firm and tighten skin while improving elasticity and decreasing wrinkles. Facial muscle toning devices use electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) tо target specific facial muscles, helping tо reduce the appearance оf fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is It?
Facial toning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure used to strengthen and tone facial muscles. Microcurrent facials use gentle electrical currents to stimulate skin cells and muscle fibers for healthy, radiant complexion.
Microcurrent facials work to tighten and tighten skin by smoothing away fine lines and folds that appear between your nasolabial folds, smoothing moderate fine lines and mild nasolabial folds while increasing collagen production and providing natural, youthful glow to the complexion.
A toner is a skin care product used after cleansing and prior to moisturizing. Similar to an astringent, except it doesn’t contain alcohol and is less harsh on your face.
Toning facials involve applying cold temperatures and massage techniques in order to combat blemishes, acne and fine lines and wrinkles as well as reduce puffy eyes and forehead. A toning facial is an affordable way to give yourself a treat while giving your skin an all-new appearance without spending a lot of money.
How Does It Work?
Microcurrent machines use low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles and improve muscle tone for a more lifted look. Furthermore, this therapy has also been known to promote collagen production for plumper, tighter complexions.
For optimal results, select a toner tailored to your skin type. Contrary to past formulas containing drying alcohol-heavy elements, modern toners tend to be gentler and better tailored towards meeting individual skin care needs.
If you suffer from acne, consider choosing one with exfoliants or salicylic acid (renowned for its dead-skin-sloughing abilities) in it to help dissolve existing blemishes while helping prevent further breakouts.
At iCRYO, the Cryoskin device offers toning facials that use cold temperatures to massage your face in an effective yet relaxing service. Celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas has even called this treatment “non-surgical facelift”, counting Mindy Kaling and Jenna Dewan among her clientele and creating her own skincare brand under this name.
What Are the Benefits?
Toners help clear away all traces of dirt and makeup from your skin, leaving it clean and ready for moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning or evening. Furthermore, toners help balance pH levels on skin as well as smooth rough patches to provide better tone enhancement.
A quality toner can also tighten pores by decreasing extra sebum production, as well as reduce blackheads or acne scarring. Select a formula containing ingredients such as glycerin and aloe vera which provide moisture, as these are particularly soothing on dry skin; for those with oilier complexions consider one with glycolic or salicylic acids which act as exfoliants.
Microcurrent facial toning treatments promote cell repair and regeneration, enhance blood and lymphatic flow, increase oxygen and hydration at a cellular level, enhance muscle tone and skin texture improvements and diminish wrinkles. If you commit to multiple microcurrent machine treatments at either a spa or at home with one available online retailers – results could last.
How Long Does It Last?
Facial toning may take anywhere from five days to a month depending on your skin type and lifestyle, with immediate results lasting five days after receiving a facial and additional steps taken at home to maintain and extend them.
Microcurrent facial toning is a safe, painless non-invasive technique that uses low-grade electrical current to stimulate facial muscles.
First used clinically as an approach for Bell’s Palsy and muscle paralysis treatment over four decades ago, microcurrent has since become the go-to technique of facialists like Joanna Vargas and Shamara Bondaroff.
As part of its non-invasive facelift technique, known as the “Madonna Facial”, this non-surgical facial helps firms and tone facial muscles for reduced crows feet, wrinkles, lift eyebrows to diminish 11’s between brows, firm neck muscles and reduce puffy eyes. Research shows it also leads to an increase of up to 12% collagen production for firmer, plumper and younger-looking skin.
