What to do Before and After Your Next Body Sculpting Session
What to do Before and After Your Next Body Sculpting Session
We’re sure you’ve heard about the beauty industry’s latest obsession, microcurrent therapy for skin, but did you know microcurrent innovation has been around since the 1800s? While the therapy is quickly gaining popularity amongst those who are looking to reverse the effects of aging skin, the effective process has been found to treat harmed tissues and muscles for centuries. Years ago, when a doctor of a Bell’s paralysis patient noticed that their skin seemed much smoother and more youthful after microcurrent treatment, one of the world’s first cutting edge stylish medications was conceived. If you’re curious to know if microcurrent body sculpting in Las Vegas is right for you, or if you’re ready to book your appointment and experience noticeably quick results, read on to learn more about the treatment’s easy pre and post-treatment care.
Body sculpting in Las Vegas combats the effects of aging, significant weight changes, and pregnancy by targeting concerns such as excess fat and loose skin. A safer, non-obtrusive alternative to laser treatments, Collagen, Botox, liposuction or other intrusive medications, microcurrent body sculpting is pain-free treatment and rarely has side-effects. If you’re looking to shed a few inches fast with no recovery time, body contouring surgery can achieve goals that even diet and exercise can’t do all on their own. But before you book your appointment, let’s review what you should do at home before and after your treatment.
Before your appointment:
Since microcurrent body sculpting is safe and noninvasive, there is little to no pre-care required before you can experience the technology’s detoxification, muscle building and skin tightening benefits! With microcurrent body sculpting, there are NO needles, NO chemicals and NO harsh chemicals involved, meaning your body will require much less preparation when compared to liposuction or other invasive plastic surgery procedures. However, we do encourage you to drink plenty of water prior to your treatment because hydration is always key.
Following your appointment:
A one hour body sculpting session at Vanity Beauty Boutique can do wonders for your skin. Not only can microcurrent technology help you lose real inches in a short amount of time, it also reduces cellulite, shrinks fat cells and aids in the removal of dead skin. What’s amazing about this noninvasive treatment is how quick it is to see effective results and how low of a risk the procedure has on your body. As we previously mentioned, there is no recovery time for this treatment. To keep your skin looking refreshed, healthy and nourished following your microcurrent body sculpting session, be sure to follow these post-care recommendations:
- Cleanse the face/area with a gentle cleanser or face wash for the first 48-72 hours after the procedure and gently dab dry any treated skin. Ensure your hands are clean when touching the treated area and avoid any deep exfoliation in the area for at least one week.
- Apply a chemical-free, broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with minimum SPF 30 to best protect the skin while in the sun.
- Following your treatment, your skin may feel drier than usual. Use an appropriate moisturizer and reapply as needed. A rule of thumb is to wash and moisturize once in the morning and once at night.
- Try to keep makeup to a minimum for at least two hours after a microcurrent treatment.
- Engage in light cardiovascular activity, such as walking, within six hours of post-treatment to stimulate lymphatic drainage, and for at least 30 minutes a day, following treatment.
- Maintain a healthy diet.
- Apply cool aloe vera gel to the treated area if it feels warm or irritated.
- Avoid places with hot temperatures, such as saunas and steam rooms, for 48-72 hours after treatment to avoid dehydration.
- Use ice packs to reduce any swelling, stiffness and bruising that may occur following a body sculpting procedure.
- Do not engage in strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment. This allows the body to recover so that the liver can remove extruded fatty acids and toxins from your system.
- Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
