Medilift Muscle Contouring-the 4th Dimension to skin and body rejuvenation

Diamond Medilift® Nonsurgical Facelift

You may have seen this non-surgical face lift, the newest rage in Hollywood, featured on E-entertainment, Oprah, or Dr. Phil. Why all this notoriety?, Because for the first time, an efficient and effective method has been developed for a non-surgical face-lift and body contouring. The Diamond Medilift® provides a 5-wave length device that can be used to tone muscles anywhere on the body, as well as decrease and mobilize fat in certain areas.

This technique is based on the response of muscles to electric stimulation. With proper pad placement, the muscles of the face can be stimulated to increase their size and tone. This will fill in the gaps that cause wrinkles from poor muscle tone.

Four different waveforms are used in the process one of the waveforms is Microcurrent

Microcurrent is a low level of electrical current used to improve the appearance of skin and the contour of the face and body. With this in mind, it meets the scope of nearly every state regulating board's definition of esthetics.

True microcurrent works at less than 400 microamperes of electrical current and has no relation to electrical muscle stimulation that causes a visual or physical manipulation of the muscle via the electrical current. Microcurrent works in harmony with the body's own natural electrical system and, in a nutshell, accelerates the body's ability to function much more effectively and expeditiously. The wellness applications and possibilities of microcurrent seem endless and truly are amazing, ranging from wound healing to macular degeneration.

During a typical microcurrent esthetic treatment, the esthetician performs a series of manipulations to achieve what sometimes is referred to as muscle re-education, or lengthening and shortening, which is responsible for the contouring or lifting portion of the treatment. Results usually can be seen after the first application.

The second portion of the treatment is focused on skin, improving blood circulation, product penetration, and increasing the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, the most integral two components of supple, firm, youthful skin. Recent studies at the University of Washington indicate that skin treated with microcurrent showed a 14-percent increase of natural collagen production, a 48-percent increase in elastin and a 39-percent increase of blood circulation-all inside of a 20-day time period.

The retonification of facial muscles using microcurrent results from accelerated ATP [adenosine triphosphate] generation along with increased production of collagen and elastin.

The medilift can even be used before or after facelifts where the muscles are not toned and have lost their bulk. Surgical facelifts do not address the muscle tone in most cases. The Medilift® has been used to mobilize fat under the chin as well as on the hips, thighs and buttock. The contouring provided by one of the wavelengths can also be used to treat cellulite on the legs. Requires Series
