Toning, Sculpting & Energizing Your Skin
One of the most effective non-invasive tools we use ismicrocurrent, a gentle yet powerful technology that lifts, tones, and energizes the skin by stimulating the underlying muscles. Often referred to as a “workout for your face,” microcurrent treatments help restore definition, improve circulation, and support collagen production without any discomfort or downtime.
What Is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent therapy uses low-level electrical currents that mimic the body’s own bioelectricity to stimulate the facial muscles, increase circulation, and encourage cellular energy production. These microcurrents send signals to the skin and deeper tissues, helping to tone and lift the muscles while promoting better nutrient absorption and overall skin vitality.
Unlike more aggressive treatments, microcurrent is completely non-invasive and pain-free. It works subtly yet effectively, retraining the facial muscles and promoting long-term improvements in skin firmness and tone.
The Key Benefits of Microcurrent
Microcurrent is more than just a lifting treatment—it supports the entire function of the skin and facial structure for a healthier, more vibrant appearance.
- Tones & Lifts the Facial Muscles – Just like a workout for your body, microcurrent strengthens and re-educates facial muscles, helping to create a more sculpted, lifted look.
- Boosts Circulation & Lymphatic Flow – The gentle electrical stimulation enhances blood flow and encourages lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and brightening the complexion.
- Increases Cellular Energy (ATP Production) – Microcurrent stimulates ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy source for our cells. This fuels collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, more resilient skin over time.
- Supports Collagen & Elastin Regeneration – With regular treatments, microcurrent helps strengthen the skin’s structure, making it a great long-term solution for preventing premature aging.
- Smooths Fine Lines & Wrinkles – By improving skin elasticity and hydration at a cellular level, microcurrent helps soften expression lines and refine skin texture.
- Enhances Product Penetration – The increased circulation and electrical stimulation allow serums and nutrient-rich skincare to absorb more effectively, maximizing their benefits.
- Gently Stimulates the Nervous System – Microcurrent has a calming effect on the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce stress and tension in the face.
What to Expect During a Microcurrent Treatment
During a microcurrent session at SEED, we use specialized handheld devices to deliver gentle electrical currents to targeted areas of the face. The experience is incredibly relaxing—many clients describe it as a light, soothing sensation with no discomfort. Unlike more intense facial treatments, microcurrent leaves no redness or irritation, making it perfect for those looking for an instant refresh with long-term benefits.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments—just like muscle training, the effects build over time as the facial muscles become stronger and more defined.
Who Is Microcurrent Best For?
Microcurrent is an excellent choice for anyone looking to:
✔ Improve facial tone and definition
✔ Prevent or soften fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Boost circulation and lymphatic drainage
✔ Support skin health without aggressive treatments
A Subtle Yet Powerful Approach to Aging Well
Microcurrent is one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to support healthy aging, helping to tone, sculpt, and energize the skin from within. Whether used as part of a professional facial or incorporated into a long-term skincare plan, this technology offers real results in a way that feels effortless and natural.
Microneedling FAQ'S
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Microneedling has minimal downtime, but your skin may be red and sensitive for 1-24 hours as your skin experiences an inflammatory response that kickstarts the healing process. After your treatment, a protective hyaluronic acid gel will be applied, which cannot be washed off for 24 hours. As it begins to peel off naturally, your skin may look uneven or flaky until you can rinse it off the next day.
This initial 24-hour period is critical—avoid touching, washing, or applying any products to your skin to allow for proper healing. After this period, you can resume a gentle, nourishing skincare routine
What should I avoid after microneedling?
For the first 24 hours, avoid washing your face, applying skincare products, or exposing your skin to heat, sweat, or direct sunlight. After this period, use only gentle, nourishing products to support healing. We also recommend avoiding exfoliants, retinoids, and active treatments for two weeks.
How should I prepare my skin before microneedling?
Prioritize skin barrier health by using gentle, nourishing skincare in the weeks leading up to your treatment. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or anything that could make your skin more sensitive.
Can microneedling be done on acne-prone skin?
Yes, microneedling can help regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture and scaring
Can I get microneedling if I’ve been in the sun?
If your skin is sunburned or recently overexposed to UV rays, it’s best to wait. Avoid prolonged sun exposure in the days leading up to your appointment.
Should I avoid certain medications or supplements before microneedling?
Yes, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and high-dose vitamin E for about a week before treatment. If you are on prescription medications, consult your doctor before making any changes.
How can I support my skin’s healing process before treatment?
Focus on a nutrient-rich diet, stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest. Your skin’s ability to repair and regenerate is influenced by your overall health and wellness.
By following these guidelines, you’ll help your skin respond optimally to microneedling.
Is hydration important before microneedling?
Hydrated skin heals more efficiently. Drink plenty of water in the days before and after your appointment.
