A lift you can see the same afternoon.
The jaw softens and the cheek drops with age. That is muscle, not just skin. A low current works it the way a trainer would.

What actually happens
The treatment runs in three stages, and only the middle one is the current itself. First, an actuator gently exfoliates, shaking dead skin loose so the current and the serums meet clean skin.
Then the microcurrent: up to 640 microamperes, close to the body's own bio-electrical field, delivered through probes worked across more than thirty muscles in the face and neck. A T-shaped prong handles the large muscles along the jawline; smaller probes take the delicate ones around the eye.
Last, an ultrasonic infusion works peptides and serums into the skin. The current sits well below anything you would feel as a shock — most clients report a faint tingle, and some a slight metallic taste when a probe passes near the jaw.
Why it is muscle work, not skin work
Faces age partly because muscles do. Some are overused and shorten into set lines; others — the jawline group especially — are barely used at all and slacken.
Microcurrent works them the way a trainer would, which is why the probe positions matter as much as the current does. What you see the same day is lift.
Over a run of visits, the face looks firmer and more toned, and that is what lasts.
Who this suits
Microcurrent suits clients focused on muscle tone and jawline definition, rather than surface texture. Many book it before an event.
The lifted look is strongest right after treatment, and it builds with repeated sessions over weeks. It is not done during pregnancy.
It is also not done for anyone with a pacemaker or another implanted electrical device, since the current passes through facial tissue.
One visit versus a run of them
Be clear about what one session buys: a real lift that fades over a day or two. That makes it a good booking the day before an event, and plenty of clients use it for exactly that.
Tone that stays is a different purchase. It builds over sessions booked close together, then holds with occasional visits.
How many depends on where your tone is now, so we set that schedule at your first read rather than sell a block up front.
Arrive hydrated — current travels better through hydrated tissue, and we'll ask about your water before we start.
Common questions
Does microcurrent hurt?
No. The current runs well below the level you would feel as a shock — most people describe a light tingle and some warmth. A few notice a faint metallic taste when a probe passes near the jaw. That is normal, it is harmless, and it stops as soon as the probe moves on.
Will it help a jawline that softened after menopause?
It is one of the two things we would suggest for it. A softening jaw is partly muscle losing tone, and this works that muscle directly. If the skin itself has thinned as well, we pair it with something that rebuilds collagen and say so at the read.
How long does the lift last after one session?
A day or two. The visible lift is strongest in the hours right afterward, then eases off. That is why one session works well before an event, and why tone that stays takes a run of them.
How many sessions is a series?
There is no fixed number, and we will not invent one before seeing your face. It depends on how much tone you have lost and how quickly your muscle answers. We map the schedule at your first appointment and tell you what maintenance looks like after that.
Can I have this with a pacemaker?
No. Microcurrent is not done for anyone with a pacemaker or another implanted electrical device, because the current passes through facial tissue. It is also not done in pregnancy. Tell us at intake and we suggest something that suits.
