Microcurrent Probes with S.P.E.D® Dual Action Technology
The dual-tipped Microcurrent Probes utilise CACI’s pioneering S.P.E.D® (Simultaneous Photo-Electrical Delivery) Dual Action Technology, allowing skincare specialists to harness the power of LED light therapy at the same time as using microcurrent. The dual action of simultaneous LED and microcurrent energy stimulates tissue regeneration, helps in the production of collagen, tightens sagging muscles whilst smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The unique combination of these technologies provides more visible and longer lasting results.
Synergy’s new S.P.E.D® Dual Action Technology has been clinically proven to deliver faster, more effective and longer lasting results than standard Microcurrent.
Treatments
The Microcurrent Probes with S.P.E.D® Dual Action Technology are used in the following treatments:
- Signature Non-Surgical Facial Toning
- Synergy Advanced Non-Surgical Facial Toning
- Hand Rejuvenation & Signature Non-Surgical Facial Toning
- Eye Revive
The probes are available as standard microcurrent (without LED light) that feature in our earlier CACI systems.
What is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent stimulation delivers tiny electrical impulses that mirror the body’s own natural bio electrical field. In most cases, treatment is virtually sub-sensory, with just a slight electrical tingling sensation.
Originally developed for treating facial palsy microcurrent therapy is now also used widely in physiotherapy for pain control and in hospitals for wound healing. As an aesthetic treatment microcurrent stimulation has been shown to have a number of other cosmetic benefits:
Benefits of Microcurrent
Clinically proven to increase…
- Adenosine Triphosphate ATP up to 500% (Cell Energy)
- Fibroblastic Activity up to 60% (Collagen Stimulation)
- Protein Synthesis up to 73% (Elasticity Fibres)
- Cell Permeability 30-40% (Nutrition Absorption)
How is the Microcurrent delivered?
Conductivity Boosters
During treatment, the Conductivity Boosters are inserted into each prong of the microcurrent probes to enhance the effectiveness of the electrical currents.
The boosters are infused with super-conductive silver fibers, which work to improve conductivity, clarify the skin, and reduce breakouts. By optimizing the flow of microcurrents, they help you achieve more noticeable and lasting results.
In addition, our specially formulated serum, enriched with Electrolytes, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Peptides, enhances electrical conductivity while deeply hydrating and rejuvenating the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.
Understanding Microcurrent
Microcurrent in aesthetics is commonly described as “facial toning or non surgical face lifting” due to the dramatic lifting effect that microcurrent has on facial muscles and facial contours.
True microcurrent uses a current with an intensity of less than one millionth of an amp (< 1mA) and because of it’s low intensity it does not cause a physical or visual contraction of the muscle, instead, microcurrent stimulation works by a process called muscle re-education.
In the 1960’s Drs S. Baker and S.Doyle demonstrated that effective and long term muscle re-education could only be achieved using microcurrent if ultra low frequencies (less than 1 Hertz) were used.
In his book, The Body Electric Dr Robert O. Becker, indicates that to be effective microcurrent impulses need to be delivered using a modified waveform that is able to overcome the body’s natural resistance to current (Ohms law) without causing client discomfort.
Combining ultra low frequencies with a modified waveform enables the microcurrent to recharge the electrical potential of the muscle by stimulating the spindle cell fibres that run the length of the muscle and attach to the golgi tendon organ in the belly of the muscle. This golgi tendon organ (GTO) simulation technique was developed by Dr George Goodheart in the late 60’s.
During treatment all 32 facial muscles are physically manipulated using soft cotton tipped wands (probes) or other attachments that transmit the microcurrent impulses.
Working a muscle from belly outward will have a lengthening/relaxing effect that is necessary on muscles that have become contracted over years of facial expression (eg frown lines). Working a muscle from the origin and insertion point inward will have a shortening effect that is necessary for the majority of the muscles that have become elongated over time due to age and gravity.
Although a remarkable difference is seen after the first treatment, the benefits of microcurrent are cumulative and typically a course of 12 treatments will be required for optimum results. See some amazing Before and After Images.
