   NEW!  Ultrasonic facial $125   ( series discount available )

As seen on the DOCTORS!

This service provides a cutting edge technology that utilizes low frequency sound waves in a three stage system for safer mechanical exfoliation, molecular penetration and healing micro amp therapy to combat aging skin, reduce wrinkles, clear acne, manage Rosacea, and control hyperpigmentation. No other skin tool exists for ALL SKIN TYPES and CONDITIONS in the esthetic environment or can provide the level of efficacy to improve skin without invasive injury!

A Chicago plastic surgeon Dr. DeBartello, conducted studies using the GlyMed Plus Dermasound Elite machine with D2O and distilled water. One thousand patients were employed in this study. The study parameters utilized were split faced, matched pairs and cross over study.  The current conclusive research is no less than scientifically spectacular and a breakthrough for skin care specialists everywhere!

HOW Microcurrent technology works

Microcurrent, with a medically based origin, works in harmony with our body’s natural electrical system. When used in conjunction with specialized products and manual manipulations, these tiny microcurrent impulses trigger chemical reactions at a cellular level to enhance the production of elastin, provide circulatory benefits, and assist in product penetration (iontophoresis). Results enhance as much as 65% in comparison to 10-20%, when products are placed topically on the skin. The result is visible firming and smoothing of the skin. It represents years of scientific research and development in natural skin care.

Recent studies, from the University of Washington, demonstrated a 39% increase in natural collagen and a 48% increase in elastin from these anti-aging skin care treatments. Studies have also found a 30-40% increase in protein synthesis and membrane transport and a 500% increase in ATP (the intercellular energy of all our cells.) These allow for the re- education of muscles and contouring of the face, for a revitalized appearance
