Questions and Answers about Beautiful Image Facial & Body Sculpting™ What is Beautiful Image Facial & Body Sculpting™? Beautiful Image Facial & Body Sculpting™ is a procedure that involves the delivery of Microcurrent into the face and body through specially designed conducting wands that are applied at specific acupuncture points. The experience is described as wonderfully relaxing and euphoric, causes no pain or swelling, and the age-defying results are remarkable. Although mainstream in Europe for several years, the technology is only recently gaining popularity in America, particularly in Hollywood, where most cosmetic trends originate. For two years in a row, celebrity insiders have reported this as one of the hottest cosmetic procedures among celebrities in the weeks before the Academy Awards. Now more celebs are publicly confessing to being regular clients of this exploding technology, including Goldie Hawn, Jamie-Lee Curtis, Mel Gibson, Liv Tyler, Meryl Streep, Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock, Susan Sarandon, Rene Zellweger, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jane Fonda, Kate Winslett, and many more. Although Beautiful Image has spent 30 years in the cosmetic industry, we did not invent Microcurrent cosmetic technology--we only perfected it. Employing a team of physicians, scientists, and a NASA engineer, we spent 10 years alone developing the FSM waveforms that are used, and this is the secret to our unique results. Introduced almost 4 years ago, our innovation was the first and still the only Microcurrent cosmetic procedure to consistently get noticeable age- defying results beginning with the first 1-hour session. What results can I expect from Beautiful Image Facial Sculpting™? If you already have signs of aging, you can expect to look younger once you complete your recommended program. Some respond better than others, but everyone gets age-defying results. Factors that compliment your progress include a healthier diet, drinking lots of clean water daily, avoiding overexposure to UV rays, and exercising regularly. Our technology is so effective, that you should see some noticeable results on your first 1-hour session. Changes are gradual rather than drastic, and look more natural than other non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Ask your skin care professional to show you some of the before/after photos of actual clients just like you. Some of the many benefits from the Facial Sculpting include: Diminishes or eliminates fine lines, creases, and wrinkles Hydrates and revitalizes skin, making it smoother and softer Improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage Rejuvenates the "pink glow" of youthful hues Visibly firms and contours, lifting the overall droop Tightens sagging jowls, doubling chins, and fatty cheeks Clears up or reduces acne Reduces the appearance of stretch marks & cellulite on the body Reduces scarring and dimpling from laser resurfacing Reduces dark circles or puffiness under eyes Reduces symptoms of Sinusitis, Rhinitis, and Rosacea. While many cosmetic procedures like skin resurfacing rely upon invasive means such as wounding the dermis to obtain results, the results from Beautiful Image Facial & Body Sculpting™ are produced in a non-invasive and non-abrasive way that stimulates natural regenerative powers within your body. FSM clinical research shows the following effects: 500% increase in ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the chemical fuel of human cells) 35% increase in blood circulation 40% increase in Gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose) 45% increase in the number of elastin fibers in the dermis 50% increase in the length of the elastin fibers 10% increase in collagen thickness in the connective tissue 35% increase in the number of blood vessels 28% increase lymphatic drainage What results can I expect from the Beautiful Image Body Sculpting™? Beautiful Image Body Sculpting works to tone and lift sagging body areas, reducing the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, cellulite dimples and creases, and achieves an overall firming of muscle tone. The most popular procedure is the buttock lift. Other areas include the stomach, thighs, back, arms, and even the hands. What is Microcurrent? Microcurrent is a modality providing electric current in millionths of an ampere, called Microamperes. It is the closest known electrical current that can be delivered on a near identical magnitude as the electrical current the human body naturally produces on its own; it is therefore physiologic and safe. Microcurrent, because of its close proximity to our own body's current, works on a more cellular level and it is upon this initial cellular healing platform that we began our research and development into the use of Microcurrent for aesthetic regeneration. Microcurrent is as much as 1000 times less in strength than the electrical current used in a TENS unit. It is such a small strength of electrical current that it would take nearly 1 million of our Microcurrent devices to light up a 40-watt light bulb. So how is this age-defying technology rejuvenating the face and body? As we age, our body loses much of its natural electrical energy, much like a battery gradually losing its charge. On a cellular level, this leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin, which leads to sagging and unevenness of texture; lines, wrinkles, and folds become the inevitable result. Beneath the skin, the facial muscles become increasingly contracted over years of facial expression and constant gravity, allowing the overall lift of our face to decline. Microcurrent emits subtle electrical frequencies that mimic the body’s own electrical signals, thereby increasing the amount of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate, the chemical fuel of human cells) by as much as 500%. Such increased levels of ATP speed cellular metabolism; the result is a detoxification that increases the rate of waste and impurity elimination. Protein synthesis and cellular membrane transport are also increased, as well as the reconstitution of collagen and elastin. The results of these processes can be seen in improved skin tone and coloration, the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the firming of sagging areas of the face and body. The body is literally being recharged back to its more youthful electrical state, as though a draining battery were plugged into a charger. With each treatment, ATP levels are stockpiled or stored, which is why Microcurrent Facial Sculpting results are cumulative and become better as a series of treatments progresses. What age range is this treatment suited for? Beautiful Image Facial & Body Sculpting™ is recommended for adult clients of all ages, since it preserves and maintains the youthful elements of younger clients, postponing future aging issues, while it rejuvenates and restores youthfulness in older clients. Is there any risk of harmful side effects, pain, or downtime from the procedure? Microcurrent has been used on the human body for over 60 years without any reported harmful side effects. Described as a great escape from the worries of the day, Beautiful Image Facial & Body Sculpting™ is relaxing and euphoric. There is no pain during or after the procedure, no redness or swelling, and no downtime required. How many procedures do I need and how long do the results last? The minimum recommended program involves 10 sessions, with two the first week and one per week thereafter. The results will last as long as you continue to maintain them with booster sessions every 4-8 weeks, just as you would maintain highlights in your hair or a manicure. How much would I expect to pay for this procedure? This remarkable age-defying breakthrough is easy on all types of budgets. Available pricing packages make procedures as affordable as a 1-hour massage. In fact, we challenge you to find a more cost effective alternative available today that attains such effective results. .
