vibrations are able to create temporary cellular pathways that allow for better and deeper product absorption while microcurrent ionizes the product and helps encourage it down the new pathways. The efficacy of these technologies, when used together, are incredible.
A new breed of ultrasonic silicone brushes are said to be the hottest new trend in professional and at home skin care. Using similar technology that is found in the professional spatulas, forward-thinking manufacturers have harnessed this energy and transferred it through new antimicrobial and antibacterial silicone cleansing brush that can assist in achieving a significantly more thorough and consistent cleansing.
Progressive manufacturers have made the designs of these new tools so that they can be used in any environment, including by our customers at home.
wet / dry microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion was a game changer when it entered the esthetic market in the early 80s. It was really the first technology that made skin care fashionable, driving tens of thousands of new customers to skin therapists around the world.
Today’s new wet/dry microdermabrasion continues to remain amongst the highest sought service in our industry. Unlike the dry corundum crystals used in the original microdermabrasion concepts, the new generation of wet/dry microdermabrasion uses a variety of strategic topically applied products, a diamond incrusted abrasive tip, and light vacuum to place the skin gently in contact with the tip.
As the hand-piece smoothly glides over the surface of the skin, the skin is thoroughly exfoliated while the topical products enhance the experience and the skin. The result is smooth, firm, hydrated skin.
microcurrent
Once we have achieved an amazing base with our wet/dry microdermabrasion – we are ready to put a little lift in our facial. Using strategically formulated water-based products and the probes of microcurrent technology, a series of lifting movements are performed to wow the customer with amazing results.
True microcurrent defined as using less than 500uA, used in combination with a patented sequence of frequencies, has been proven to increase ATP by as much as 500%. This huge upregulation of cellular energy

expedites the healing and regeneration process and has been directly linked with significant increases in collagen production, elastin production, as well as enhanced blood circulation.
Microcurrent is also an amazing tool for iontophoresis, effectively eliminating the need for separate galvanic devices. Most forward thinking manufacturers design their microcurrent devices to be battery operated and may come in a variety of sizes including very compact models.
LED
As like microcurrent, certain nanometers of LED light have been proven to stimulate mitochondria activity and in turn increase ATP production. Efficacy studies for age management mostly centre on yellow and red light (590-640 nanometers), while Acne studies focus on blue light (470 nanometers). Panel style devices are really the only way to go, as they are the only type of technology that can cover the entire face, neck and décolleté effectively at one time.
Well manufactured devices with the appropriate light strength and frequency patterns (flickering) can usually achieve their results in 8-14 minutes. While microcurrent is working on contouring and lifting, LED’s forte is its ability to smooth and perfect the texture of the skin. Together, microcurrent and LED make an incredible partnership.
oxygen infusion
It’s all in the air! The ambient air around us is composed of approximately 18% oxygen and up to 82% nitrogen. We need oxygen to survive – we know this. However, most do not know that the process of making ATP in the mitochondria is an aerobic process, and therefore requires oxygen to carry out its mission effectively. It is because of this fact that cellular respiration is so incredibly important to our skin and to our body.
Forward-thinking manufacturers have developed a method of separating the nitrogen from the oxygen, allowing for purity levels that can reach as high as 94%. This new availability of oxygen excites the mitochondria and near instantly begins to refine the pores and smooth the texture of the skin as well as enhances the colour, hence the reason that oxygen is Hollywood’s tool of choice! The combination of a greatly up regulated oxygen supply and the organic energy source of microcurrent and LED – gives your mitochondria all of the components to leverage the maximum amount of cellular energy.
the real stuff
In your search for legit technology and suppliers, always request:
• ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 Quality Certifications
• Liability Insurance • CE Safety Testing Declaration
In addition, make sure that you are dealing with the manufacturer and / or a representative of the manufacturer, that they have an education department that will champion your training needs at no additional cost, as well as a comprehensive marketing department that will assist you with placing your new services on your menu!
Experts predict that if technology is not part of your practice, that in five years you will have no practice! Remember, not once have we inferred that technology will or has replaced our hands. This will never happen. Technology is good, but not human. While at the same time, technology can help us as skin therapists create results that can only be described as extraordinary!
