Sculpting Facial

What is a Sculpting Facial?

A Sculpting Facial, also called microcurrent therapy, uses small currents of electricity to tighten the skin, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve muscle tone. 

The microcurrent device is equipped with two electrodes on one end that deliver gentle electrical currents to the face, providing a natural lift and more sculpted appearance. Most patients describe the treatment as feeling like a facial massage. A conductive gel will be applied to the skin at the start of your treatment to protect it and ensure you’re completely comfortable while we address your skin concerns.

After your facial, we’ll apply a moisturizer and sunscreen to protect your skin.

How Does A Sculpting Facial Work?

During the Sculpting Facial, mild electrical currents stimulate mild contractions in the facial muscles to promote healthy blood flow and plump the skin. This can also help with wound healing and skin inflammation associated with acne and improve your overall skin health.

There is also evidence that electrical stimulation can boost collagen and elastin production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and volume loss.

Who Can Benefit From A Sculpting Facial?

If you want to improve mild skin laxity and tone the muscles in your face, you may be the perfect candidate for a Sculpting Facial. This treatment can also improve your muscle function and stimulate tissue healing of an injured muscle. 

The low-intensity direct current can also address specific tissues to alleviate pain caused by sports injuries, chronic illnesses, and other injuries. 

Microcurrent technology does not use strong electrical currents, so this is a safe electrical current treatment for most patients. 

However, we may recommend another treatment if you have epilepsy, a heart condition, or implanted medical devices like pacemakers. 

While at-home microcurrent devices are available, we use high-quality microcurrent devices and have the experience necessary to ensure that your treatment is performed safely.

Recovery and Results

There is no downtime or recovery necessary after a sculpting facial, so you can get back to your daily routine immediately. Some patients report mild tingling and discomfort, but these effects should improve within a few days.

You can also return to your normal at-home skincare routine right after your facial.

You may notice some improvements immediately, but you’ll see further improvement as collagen and elastin build up and your muscles firm up and tone. Multiple facial treatments may be needed for optimal results.
