"True" microcurrent uses less than 500 microamperes (Ua). Only true, quality, professional-grade facial toning machines such as NuFace use 0-500 microamps for optimal effectiveness and should never cause an actual "visual" contraction of the facial muscle. NuFace is easy to use. A simple manual knob allows the user to turn the equipment on/off and adjust settings.

NuFace® can be used daily as an extension to a healthy skincare regimen. NuFace® is also used in spas and medical offices by professionals, for a non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation in addition to complimenting many in-office treatments such as LED Photorejuvenation. NuFace® is non-invasive, non-ablative (no cutting) and requires no down time!

In 1980, Thomas W. Wing. D.C., N.D., LAc., a fifth generation Chinese Doctor is credited with introducing a microcurrent instrument which was found to be beneficial in the treatment of muscles. Originally approved by the FDA as a muscle stimulator, it also found new life in the Cosmetology industry for cellular rejuvenation, facial toning and wrinkle reduction.

Microcurrent techniques have been proven successful in treating a variety of medical conditions including Bell’s Palsy. Bell’s Palsy is facial paralysis, usually effects one side of the face only. The cause is unknown, but inflammation of one of the facial nerves resultsin muscle paralysis to one side of the face. This usually recovers over a period of months, but on occasions can be permanent.

Electrical currents have been incorporated into facial machines for many years. The research and development conducted to assist the “baby boomers” in maintaining a youthful appearance has promoted their evolution to the highly efficient apparatuses we have at our disposal today. Understandably, there is a great deal of interest around the muscle enhancement abilities of microcurrent.

Microcurrent promotes collagen and elastin production in your skin, and has the ability to dramatically increase ATP production. ATP is basically the vitality of your cells. The buildup in ATP explains the lasting effects of microcurrent on re-educating the facial muscles to tighten and tone. To quote D. Tsoklis, an expert on the subject, “Microcurrent is the reproduction of your own biological current. As we age, this current, which sends messages from the brain to the muscles via the spinal cord, does not send those messages properly.”

The microcurrent treatment restores those messages from the brain to tell the skin to rejuvenate. It helps tone facial muscles by replicating our own biological currents. Clinical studies have shown that after twenty days of treatment collagen production increases by 14 percent, elastin increases by 48 percent, and blood circulation increases by 38 percent. Scientists have also found that microcurrent facelift treatments trigger the body’s production of amino acids and ATP. Both of these accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production.

NuFace uses safe, painless, low-level, waveform-shaped currents (electrical impulses) to “reprogram” the muscles to nearly original muscle shape. The gentle electrical impulses actually rehabilitate the muscles and improve circulation, texture, tone, and fine lines. Regular use of the NuFace will continue to provide muscle strength and restore freshness to appearance.

Microcurrent “recharges” facial tissue by combining a unique electrical waveform using dual tipped probes, in combination with the naturally occurring biological current of the body. This technology has the capacity to work internally on the muscle fiber and tissue for visible, external results – just like taking your face to the gym!

NuFace uses a combination of different frequency variations to promote dramatic tissue enhancement and repair. The frequency variation in the current can be concentrated on specific tissues and adapted to the individual needs of each client. The microcurrent utilized produces different effects on the muscle and the tissue of the skin. The method of applying a specific current to certain muscular areas of the face reverses and corrects habitual muscle patterns and reverses atrophy.

The NuFace Microcurrent Facial Toning System is used to improve the muscle reception and re-educate the muscle to respond more effectively to regular nerve stimulation. The desired relaxed state of a muscle is semi-contracted, allowing it to function effectively. Microcurrent can help bring this “memory” back to the muscle, giving better tone to the face and relaxing over contracted muscles. To the patient this means a firmer facial tone and diminished lines.

By stimulating cellular blood flow, cell turnover is increased which in turn promotes increased collagen, elastin production. This assists with skin rejuvenation, delays aging of the skin, and reduces the appearance of facial wrinkling.

NuFace allows the skin to repair itself "naturally" from the inside out. This unique microcurrent system works by gently stimulating skin cells and the underlying muscles below the epidermis. Excessive fluids are removed and lymphatic drainage is increased, leading to decreased tissue swelling or "puffiness".

NuFace is considered a safe, easy and gentle skin beautification appliance however the following precautions should always be taken:

NuFace is a safe and gentle, non-invasive alternative to dramatic plastic surgery procedures, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, Collagen and Botox injections and other invasive treatments.

Please note that results can vary by individual and skin type and although NuFace has been shown to produce an immediate and temporary lifting effect, continued daily application may provide more cumulative long-term, lasting results.
