Cosmetic and Facial

using microcurrent, ultrasound, iontophoresis, lymphovibration and light

 
Interferential:  Our Interferential Current (IFC) generator operates from an internal 9 volt battery and has two separate outputs (microcurrent and EMS) each with its own unique range of benefits.  Output intensity can be reduced to microcurrent levels (zero up to 1 microampere) or from a separate output can be raised sufficiently to gently stimulate facial nerves and muscles (EMS) for muscle toning and strengthening (up to 20 milliamps).  We offer a choice of sine wave or square wave carrier waveforms automatically swept over a frequency range from 0 to 400 Hertz (widest in the industry).

Skin contact is made using electrically conductive soft rubber similar to that used in TENS and  EMS skin electrodes. We do not recommend wet Q-tips due to their being electrically and mechanically unreliable.  We have available various conductive hypo-allergenic and nourishing gels.  Look at our interferential page.

IFC is a superior form of electrical stimulation, already universally used and recognized by Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine experts as one of the most effective and well-tolerated of therapies because of its long-lasting benefits, pleasantly penetrating effects, wider range of applications and less superficial irritation than conventional brief-pulse TENS (Trans-cutaneous Electrical Neuro Muscular Stimulation. Its range of clinical indications are supported by a substantial body of professional medical literature. IFC is already replacing pulse TENS in European countries and Australia because of its comfortable high frequency smooth sine waves rather than the sharp pulses of TENS and also penetrates deeper into internal body organs and tissues.

Single probe with two skin electrodes for premodulated bipolar waveforms or for TENS stimulation. Metal stalk carrying each electrode can be bent to any angle to assist in feathering.

Two probes each with two skin electrodes for true interferential current (IFC). Two separate currents at differing constantly varying frequencies are used.  Metal stalk carrying each electrode can be bent to any angle.  Note that the vulnerable connection between probe and curly cable is strongly reinforced in our units. 

Single probe carrying 4 skin electrodes (quadripolar) and also high intensity LED of any colour. Metal stalk carrying each electrode can be bent to any angle.

  

Ultrasound:

Biophysica Ultraphotosonic Face and Body Skin Contouring and Regenerator System combines ultrasound, pulsed visible and infra-red light, ions (iontophoresis), variable frequency vibration for lymphatic enhancement and microcurrent all in one treatment head. See the benefits of pulsed versus unpulsed light.

     

The Biophysica electrophotosonic (EPS) ultracontour system is a professional grade multi-functional tool and treatment system which synergistically combines a hydration test function with 6 proven therapeutic technologies: ultrasound 1meg, ultrasound 3meg, negative ions, interferential microcurrent, LED multi-spectrum red and blue light, vibrational frequencies plus timer.  Skin care professionals all over the world are now beginning to use this kind of new hybrid technology to go far beyond previous techniques to improve the appearance and complexion of their customers skin.
 

EPS works by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the skin while driving anti-oxidants, ions and nutraceuticals beyond the epidermal layer into the subcutaneous adipose and cellulite layer and deep subdermal capillary and lymphatic areas.  It delivers and disperses energy evenly to tissue and effectively attacks fat cells, hyper-pigmentation, loss of elasticity and protein destruction by neutralizing free radicals and balancing collagen production. The process makes the old unhealthy collagen fibres contract, leading to a firmer, smoother and tighter appearance. Subsequently after treatment new healthy collagen production is increased, enhancing the effect of smoothing, toning and natural contouring of the skin while minimizing wrinkles.  The Ultrasonic Facial diminishes fine lines, giving the skin a smooth healthy glow and diminishes and smoothes unsightly contour irregularities often resulting from liposuction. Microdermabrasion is used prior to the Ultrasonic Facial for dead cell exfoliation.

 
Light: We offer LED and laser based pulsed and unpulsed light sources of any of the following 10 colours: infra-red, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultra-violet, white.  Pulsed light has much more effectiveness than unpulsed continuous light especially if the pulse repetition frequency is matched to the disease condition and body organ. Pulsed Blue for example is being used in hospitals for acne.   Green is used for chronic conditions, red for underactive organs and blue to cool overactive or inflamed organs (ref. "Vibrational Medicine" chapter 7 by Dr Richard Gerber M.D.).
Iontophoresis: 

 Iontophoresis involves the use of very low microcurrent levels to facilitates up to 70% greater mineral and ion substance penetration through the skin, allowing the beneficial ingredients to penetrate to the deeper levels below the surface of the skin, enhancing their effectiveness. The program allows the skin to accept collagen and elastin serums, and other natural creams, hyaluronic acid, vitamins and liposomes. All natural, hypoallergenic skin care products are infused into the cell with micro-current and work synergistically to leave the face rehydrated and revitalised.

 
Microcurrent:

Microcurrent is now a well proven treatment for non surgical facelift and is a prerequisite essential for top professional skin care professionals and estheticians in all spas and salons. Micro current facial treatment counteracts the ravages of sun and aging and poor dietary habits, without invasive surgery. Mild electrical vibration at a spefic range of frequencies (Frequency Specific Microcurrent, FSM) and specially designed waveform patterns stimulate the many functions of the skin through the use of one or two pairs of micro-current probes. Microcurrent seems to be uniquely effective in rebuilding thinner parts of the skin, filling in wrinkles and lifting sagging muscles because of its ability to regenerate tissue by stimulating cellular physiology and growth.  Research has shown that lower intensities up to 0.5 microampere are the most effective in restoring normal metabolism and homeostasis. Recent microcurrent studies from the University of Washington has shown a 14% increase in the production of natural collagen, a 48% increase in natural elastin production, and 38% increase in blood circulation over the course of 20 days.

Using 2 or 4 probes with conductive tips the operator or user glides those probes over certain acupuncture points, nerves and muscles on your own or the client's face. There is a very gentle micro-current pulsing through the probes. This micro current is what promotes collagen and elastin production in the layers of the skin, and vastly increases ATP (the energy molecule of the body)production. The buildup in ATP explains the lasting effects of microcurrent on re-educating the facial muscles to tighten and tone. To quote Danielle 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. Multi-layered problems require a multi-leveled solution through Multi-Layer Skin Rejuvenation” This MLSR 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. That is why this treatment is such a safe alternative to some of the invasive, risky and costly treatments on the market today. Our machine come with 2 or four probes which serve the same purpose for body toning.
