Micro-current technology for muscular stimulation works down in the cellular level of your face.
Understanding the role that cells have is a major part in the rejuvenation of the skin. It is the whole object behind Sumishi treatments.
Developed by Dr. Cheng in 1982, while observing micro-currents of a lower amp age of 600, Dr. Cheng notices a positive effect on the local availability of Adenosine Triphosphate Production (ATP). Dr. Cheng also noticed that higher levels like 5,000 micro-amps of electricity, the ATP actually decreased. Sumishi treatments are monitored by a battery operated devise to effectively maintain a proper lower Microcurrent needed to make the ATP that creates energy for the functioning of the cell. The more energy to your cells, the more nutrients it can absorb, resulting in healthy productive rejuvenating cells. It is the healthiest exercise your facial muscles will ever have!
Protein synthesis is another function of the cell as each cell contains about 15% protein. Dr. Cheng noticed that Microcurrents increases the protein synthesis of the cell. Increased circulation permits better oxygenation and allows muscles to maintain their tone.
Over a period of 8 years, Dr. Cheng using Sumishi, has tested different components such as, essential oils, vitamins, plant extracts and proteins. Since Microcurrent is able to boost protein synthesis, they found in their study that collagen and elastin proteins were responding much better with the treatments.
With Clayton Shagal feature Collagen and Elastin protein application this process can be achieved.
Typical treatments are done three times a week for 6 weeks. The process takes about 90 minutes. Probes are placed in all the different areas of the muscles in your face for 10 seconds at a time. Tiny electrical current are probing through the muscles which have an invigorating feeling. There is no pain involved, just a refreshing, relaxing feeling when you are done. Some patients find their sinuses clear up after a six week treatment. Rejuvenation continues long after treatments are done. Once a month maintenance treatments can be done to continue the facial toning for a long lasting younger looking face.
Body work treatments consist of breast lifting, cellulite, and body contouring.
