Microcurrent Q&A

What is microcurrent?

Microcurrent is a low-level electrical current that gently stimulates the facial muscles. It helps lift, tone, and contour the face while supporting collagen and elastin production for a more youthful appearance. 


 Microcurrent helps improve facial firmness, definition, and overall skin tone. Clients often notice lifted brows, more sculpted cheekbones and jawline, reduced puffiness, and a healthy glow after treatment. 

Does microcurrent hurt?

Not at all. Microcurrent is very gentle and relaxing. You may feel a light tingling or muscle twitching in certain areas, and a metallic flavour in your mouth but it should never be painful. 

Who is a good candidate for microcurrent?

 Microcurrent is ideal for clients looking to address early signs of aging, facial sagging, loss of definition, or dull skin—without needles or downtime. 

Who should not receive microcurrent?

 Microcurrent is not recommended for clients who are pregnant, have a pacemaker, active cancer, epilepsy, or certain medical implants. A full consultation is required to ensure treatment safety. 

Microdermabrasion Q&A

What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin.


Microdermabrasion helps improve skin texture, dullness, mild pigmentation, fine lines, congestion, and uneven tone. It also enhances product absorption and promotes healthy skin renewal.

 

There is little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. 

Does microdermabrasion hurt?

 No. Most clients describe it as a light scratching or polishing sensation. The treatment is comfortable and does not require numbing. 

Who is a good candidate for microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is ideal for most skin types looking to address dullness, rough texture, clogged pores, and mild signs of aging. 

 

Skin often looks brighter and feels smoother immediately after treatment. Results continue to improve over the following days as skin renews. 


While a single treatment can refresh the skin, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart delivers the best long-term results. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin goals. 

Who should not receive microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion may not be suitable for clients with active acne, rosacea flare-ups, broken skin, or certain skin conditions. 


A consultation is required to determine if it’s right for you. 

High frequency Q&A

What is high frequency?

High frequency is a skin treatment that uses a gentle electrical current delivered through a glass electrode to oxygenate the skin, stimulate circulation, and target acne-causing bacteria. 


High frequency helps reduce active breakouts, calm inflammation, speed up healing, and improve overall skin clarity. It can also support collagen production and boost circulation for a healthier glow. 


There is no downtime. You may notice slight redness immediately after treatment, which typically fades quickly. 


Many clients notice calmer, clearer skin shortly after treatment, especially when treating active breakouts. Results continue to improve with consistent treatments. 

Does high frequency hurt?

No. High frequency is generally painless. You may feel a mild warming sensation or light tingling, and hear a soft buzzing sound during treatment. 

Who is a good candidate for high frequency?

High frequency is ideal for clients experiencing acne, congestion, inflammation, or sluggish circulation, and for those wanting a clearer, more balanced complexion. 

Who should not receive high frequency?

High frequency is not recommended for clients who are pregnant, have pacemakers, epilepsy, metal implants, or certain medical conditions. 


A consultation is required to confirm suitability. 

led light therapy Q&A

What is LED Light Therapy?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity in the skin. It is a clinically studied, non-invasive, pain-free, zero downtime treatment that supports healing, reduces inflammation, and boosts collagen production. 

How does it work?

 Different wavelengths penetrate the skin at varying depths to trigger natural biological processes. The light energizes skin cells, encouraging repair, regeneration, and improved overall function. 

What does each light color treat?

  • Red Light: Stimulates collagen and elastin, improves fine lines, and supports firmness.
  • Blue Light: Targets acne-causing bacteria and helps calm breakouts
  • Near-Infrared Light: Reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and supports deeper tissue repair.

Can it be added to other treatments?

 Yes. LED Light Therapy is an excellent add-on to facials and microchanneling treatments to reduce redness, speed healing, and enhance results. 

Procell Microchanneling Q&A

What is Procell Microchanneling?

 Procell Microchanneling is a collagen induction treatment that creates precise microchannels in the skin to stimulate natural repair. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, accelerates cellular renewal, and enhances the absorption of growth factor–rich serums. 

What skin concerns does it treat?

 Microchanneling improves fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, pigmentation, texture irregularities, enlarged pores, and overall skin tone. It’s also excellent for restoring firmness and strengthening skin resilience. 

How is it different from traditional microneedling?

 Procell uses a stamping technique rather than dragging needles across the skin. This creates uniform channels with less trauma, minimal downtime, and more consistent results. 

Does it hurt?

 A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light vibration rather than pain. 

What is the downtime?

Wait a minimum of 90 minutes before applying anything to this skin including sunscreen, makeup, moisturizer. Leave 2-3 days before resuming the use of active skin products. Visible skin irritation is often gone after as little as two hours!

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments range greatly depending on what you are treating and the severity. For light anti-aging treatments, 2-3 treatments may be sufficient. For deeper wrinkles and acne scarring, 4-6 treatments may be required to achieve desired results. There is no limit to the number of treatments that one can receive as long as adequate time passes in between each treatment.

When will I see results?

 Initial glow and plumping can appear within days, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases. 

Is it safe for all skin types?

 Yes, Procell Microchanneling is safe for most skin types and tones when performed by a trained professional. A consultation will determine if it’s right for you. 

Can it be combined with other treatments?

 

Yes. LED Light Therapy is a popular add-on to reduce redness, accelerate healing, and further stimulate collagen production.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

 

Yes. LED Light Therapy is a popular add-on to reduce redness, accelerate healing, and further stimulate collagen production.
