Are there side effects?
There are no adverse side effects.
Are there "after treatment" recommendations?
Yes. We recommend to drink at least 8 ounces of water (preferably filtered) immediately after the treatment. This will help ‘flush’ the toxins and impurities from the skin and body that have been stimulated from the treatment. Because the support cream now also has an electrical current, we recommend that you do not wash your face for at least 2 – 6 hours after the treatment because the support cream is still working to stimulate the skin a bit.
Also, drink 8 – 16 ounces of water starting a couple hours before the next appointment to help hydrate the skin. This can provide a better result since water is a conductor.
Best not to use any type of ‘oily’ cream as that causes a barrier and less conductivity.
Are there harmful side effects or pain during or after treatment?
None. Not only is our treatment painless, but many clients look forward to the relaxing experience. Our waveforms are very rest inducing, and you may fall asleep during the session. Afterwards you can feel euphoric as though the just experienced the most fantastic hour-long massage; however, 15-20 minutes later, many describe themselves as feeling invigorated and alert. Beautiful Image Facial Sculpting does not rely upon a thermal energy source like a laser. There is no inflammation or redness, no need to heal before seeing results, and absolutely no downtime. Just reapply makeup and go on with your day. Microcurrent facial treatments are by far the safest and most effective non-surgical treatment available today.
How long should I wait between treatments?
Its recommended to wait 72 hours in between treatments.
Is this new technology?
No. It has been widely used in the US for over 40 years and has been approved by the FDA.
