Microcurrent Facials

A microcurrent facelift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate the muscles and tissues of the face and neck. The procedure aims to tighten and tone the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

At The Bare Solutions, we use The Clareblend Jeunesse Microcurrent System. This facial increases collagen and elastin, increases ATP production, increases the elasticity in the skin to create firmness, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We use a low level, sub-sensory current which mimics the body's electrical process. This has been proven to be safe and effective. The results are immediate. You will see firm, re-hydrated skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure is preventative for younger clients while helping the aging process with our more mature clients. This Microcurrent Facial, is the only aesthetic treatment available that can physically firm and tone skin through muscle re-education.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure performed by a licensed professional to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. It involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath.
How does a chemical peel work?

The chemical solution used in a peel causes controlled damage to the skin's outer layers. This stimulates the skin to shed dead cells and prompts the body to produce new collagen and elastin, leading to a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.
What skin concerns can be addressed with chemical peels?

Chemical peels can help improve various skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven skin tone, pigmentation issues, and mild to moderate acne.
Are there different types of chemical peels?

Yes, chemical peels come in various types and strengths, including superficial, medium, and deep peels. The type of peel used depends on the specific skin concerns being addressed and the desired level of exfoliation.
How long does a chemical peel procedure take?

The duration of a chemical peel procedure can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel being performed. Typically, superficial peels take about 30 minutes, while medium to deep peels may take up to an hour or more.
Is a chemical peel painful?

Most patients experience a mild burning or stinging sensation during the procedure, which subsides relatively quickly. Deeper peels may cause more discomfort, but pain management techniques can be used to minimize any discomfort.
How long is the recovery period after a chemical peel?

The recovery time can vary depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may have little to no downtime, with some redness and peeling that usually resolves within a few days. Medium to deep peels may require a week or more of recovery time, during which the skin may be red, swollen, and peeling.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with chemical peels?

Like any cosmetic procedure, chemical peels carry some risks, such as redness, swelling, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun. In rare cases, there might be complications like scarring or infection, especially with deeper peels.
How many sessions of chemical peels are needed to see results?

The number of sessions required depends on the individual's skin condition and the type of peel used. Some people may achieve desired results with a single peel, while others might need a series of peels spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
Can anyone get a chemical peel?

While chemical peels are generally safe for most skin types, not everyone is a suitable candidate.
