Muscle toning is for strengthening the muscles, improving the texture and giving a general feeling of facial firmness.

Basic Principles

The human body uses micro-currents to control the activities of the various muscle groups. Muscle tone ultimately depends on the regularity of distribution of these natural body currents. Anomalies and their causes are numerous: age, state of health, stress to name but a few.

At skin level, the primary cause of wrinkles is a decline in the rate of cellular regeneration. Collagen and elastin cannot achieve the elasticity of young skin in the presence of age, sun and dehydration. Micro-currents applied to the surface of the skin stimulate peripheral cells, enhance blood circulation and encourage inter-cellular organic exchange. A nutrition process is created, resulting in sustained skin hydration and elasticity.

The length of muscles at rest is affected by an arrangement of their fibres. The ‘Golgi tendon' situated in muscle tendons monitor the electric signals transmitted by neurons. With time, a muscle stretches from a lack of exercise, and retracts in the presence of continual stimulation (stress). With an appropriate stimulation of the ‘Golgi tendon' we can re-establish the natural routes of current normally used to contract and relax muscles. This technique results in improved muscle tone that is directly related to the dimensions of the muscle at rest: the muscle returns to its original size.

Skin condition

Best results are achieved on clean and well prepared skin; all make-up must be removed, the use of a gentle peeling is recommended before a micro-current treatment. The results of micro-current treatments are cumulative and are longer lasting when a series of treatments are carried out; a night cream applied in the evening would enhance overall effectiveness. Gentle lifting for face,neck and eye area then Bust treatments also available.
