If you listen to the morning show, you know I love all things skincare, anti-aging, and unique ways to be healthier. I’m fortunate in my job that I get the opportunity to try different products and treatments, some I pay for, some are discounted, and some I get for free so I can talk about it in my commercial spots for clients.
So when Alanna at Head Games (on Free Street in Portland!) offered me a 12-treatment series of micro-current sessions, I was like, “Hell yes!”
What is micro current? Basically imagine 2 metal wands being fed low voltage electrical current that mirrors your body’s own electrical currents –helps repair damaged skin, stimulate collagen and elastin production –all which make our skin saggy and older and less tight. Micro current is also said to improve muscle tone, increase cellular activity and tighten pores. It’s a cumulative effect, so a series makes sense.
The upside is no down time, a tiny bit of redness sometimes, but most times I walk out with glowing skin. It is not painful, in fact I usually fall asleep or at least get into a very relaxed state.
You know me and photos. I am pretty picky about what get’s published, but it’s important to show a difference in skin tone and quality -for me and you.
I goofed and didn’t take pics before the first two sessions, but here’s an untouched photo before my third session. I have already noticed a slight lessening of my smile lines, and tightening of my cheek area. The 11’s between my eyes are going to take more time, and I need to see if this works on eyelids –yikes, aging is hard on the face and body! Ok, let’s do this!

The photo below is right before my sixth micro-current treatment-unretouched, no filter, no makeup. I can see a difference in the firmness of my skin, especially my cheeks, forehead, and chin area. The best testament has been other women who’ve commented, unsolicited on how youthful and glowing my skin looks. I’m planning to do 12 treatments total. Prudence at Head Games cracks up because I instantly fall asleep –it’s that relaxing. Feel free to email me with questions at eva@coast931.com. My *cough cough* birthday is coming up and I’m feeling like I look much younger! 🙂

I just finished my 12th and final session of micro-current treatments with Prudence at Head Games Salon. I’ve received a number of compliments from people on the firmness and tightness of my skin, especially cheeks, and minimizing of sagging skin. The texture feels smoother, you can see my cheeks and forehead look baby smooth. I also feel like my nasal lines have softened too. It’s subtle, but there’s overall definite improvement.
