Lifting Microcurrent Facial in NYC
Bespoke Microcurrent
A microcurrent facial uses gentle, low level currents that work with your body’s natural signals to tone the facial muscles, a bit like strength training for your face. Over time, it can help lift, sculpt, and soften the look of fine lines, a non invasive treatment with no needles and no downtime.
At our NYC atelier, we use the TriaWave device, which combines microcurrent with sonophoresis and iontophoresis to help active ingredients absorb more deeply, so your skin is lifted and nourished in the same treatment. We offer it two ways: as part of a complete 90 minute Bespoke Microcurrent Facial, or as a focused 60 minute Microcurrent Lift + Tone.
Bespoke Microcurrent Facial
This noninvasive lifting treatment utilizes a combination of microcurrent, iontophoresis and pulsed sonophoresis to effectively address loss of elasticity, tone and fine lines and wrinkles.
The 90 minute treatment is customized to the client’s skin condition and may include exfoliation, extraction, and a combination of modalities such as microdermabrasion and LED light therapy.
*While it provides an immediate lift, long lasting results may require a series of 6 treatments done close together.
Price: $360 (90 min.)
Microcurrent Lift + Tone
This noninvasive microcurrent treatment focuses solely on muscle stimulation to lift, tone, and sculpt facial contours. Using microcurrent therapy, iontophoresis, and pulsed sonophoresis, it strengthens facial muscles, enhances firmness, and improves skin elasticity for a visibly lifted, contoured look.
Perfect as a standalone treatment for an instant lift, it also delivers longer-lasting, more visible results when done in a series to progressively strengthen and train facial muscles.
Price: $285 (60 min.)
What Technology Is Used During Microcurrent Facials?
Microcurrent technology , also known as the “Natural Face Lift” works by stimulating facial muscles, which will help to tone the skin, improve facial contour, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
An electromagnetic device sends gentle pulses of energy to stimulate your skin cells. This, in turn, can exercise the facial muscles and make them appear more toned and lifted. Using energy to treat the face and neck is one of the best weapons against the aging process.
Picowave microcurrent
Our TriaWave device uses Picowave microcurrent technology, a low level electrical current that gives the facial muscles a targeted workout. It helps stimulate collagen, support tissue repair, and lift and sculpt the skin.
Low-Frequency Sonophoresis & Pulsed Iontophoresis
These technologies assist in the efficacy and absorption of topical products.
What Should You Know Before a Microcurrent Facial?
If you’re considering a microcurrent facial, a few things are worth knowing before your first visit.

Microcurrent facials enhance muscle tone and circulation for a lifted appearance over time. Results are cumulative, making multiple sessions recommended for optimal effects.
Post-Treatment Care
Post-microcurrent facial, adhere to care instructions from your skincare professional. Maximize benefits by avoiding excessive sun exposure, using gentle skincare, and staying adequately hydrated.
FAQs

A microcurrent facial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles, improving skin tone and appearance. These microcurrents mimic the body's natural electrical signals, promoting muscle tightness. This stimulation triggers responses from the cells, leading to tightened skin and softened wrinkles. By targeting specific facial and neck muscles, the procedure results in hydrated, lifted, firmer, and softer skin, providing a rejuvenated appearance.
It naturally enhances the overall health, tone, facial contour, and texture of the skin, with results that many people compare to a non-surgical facelift.
