Q. "What is a NON INVASIVE face lift?"

A. Through a highly advanced micro-current technology, which is 100% safe, a painless low level electrical impulse is used to re-program the muscles back into shape. This in turn supports the facial skin giving you immediate results after just one treatment. The facial contours are uplifted and toned and the complexion is left glowing.

Q. "What is MICRO-CURRENT technology about?"

A. Micro-current is an electro-stimulator which sends a micro-current through the skin and muscle via two hand held probes. This produces a firming and lifting effect. It also reduces puffiness and dark circles from around the eyes. Micro-current is safe, and many consider the process to be soothing and extremely relaxing.

Q. "Why isn't my skin like it used to be?"

A. As we get older our blood circulation slows down resulting in a lack of nutrients and stimulation to the muscle. The muscle begins to weaken and gravity will encourage it to drop.

Q. "How can micro-current help"

A. Micro-current will speed up the circulation and not only feed and stimulate the muscle but shorten it, back to its original tone.

This technique has been used in the medical profession for over 30 years, it is completely painless and totally safe -- in fact it is good for you!

Q. "Are there any other benefits?"

A. Our lymphatic drainage stimulates circulation in the lower layers of connective tissue providing increased nourishment to the epidermis. By extension, this detoxifies by activating the lymphatic system, ridding the tissue of toxic waste so reducing puffiness and fluid retention. Micro-current will leave a clearer, fresher, smoother texture to the skin.

Q. "What are the techniques used in a NON INVASIVE face lift?"

A. There are three techniques used in this treatment:

1. E.T.R. (Enhanced Tissue repair):
E.T.R. is the basis of the NON SURGICAL FACE LIFT. The technique stimulates and enhances the spindle cells which are essential to the maintenance of the muscles tone. This technique has a strong stimulating effect on the tissues, increasing blood circulation, which may be evident by a flushed appearance in the skin. E.T.R. is done on the face and neck at every treatment.

2. The Golgi Tendon Technique:
This technique involves muscle contraction and extension by stimulating the origin and insertion of the muscle body with the Golgi apparatus. This technique is applied to the NON SURGICAL FACE LIFT to obtain a shortening or lengthening of the muscles using microampere electrical stimulation.

3. The Feathering Technique:
This technique provides superficial stimulation to the skin for over all toning and softening of wrinkles and lines. The entire face and neck is feathered at every treatment in the series.

Q. "What results can one expect?"

A. According to Dr. Howard Bezoza, a New York City physician, the machine strengthens the facial skin, lifts sagging muscles and rejuvenates the skin's elasticity.

"Skin ages because it loses it's elasticity and moisture", explains Bezoza. "This device is phenomenal in how it returns your skin to it's youthful appearance!" The doctor says he has never seen tissue improve like this before. "You can actually see the improvement right before your eyes", he says.

Q. "What are some of the benefits of a NON INVASIVE face lift?"

A. Firms and tones facial muscles * Increases elasticity * Reduces lines and wrinkles * Refines skin textures * Increases cell renewal * Oxygenates the skin * Nourishes the skin * Redefines facial contours.

Q. "What if one smokes?"

A. Factors that influence the success of the treatment are smoking, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, any medications and age. An accurate attempt must also be made to determine any stress factors in one's lifestyle as this will play an important role in providing for maintenance programs to retain the youthful appearance achieved through the series.

Q. "How old or young should one be to start treatments?"

A. At the age of 25 facial muscles start to fall. The earlier one starts treatment the more effective the treatment is in keeping a lifelong youthful appearance.

Q. "How long do the treatments last?"
