The largest organ of our bodies is our skin. It goes through many changes due to aging, sun exposure, pregnancy, hormones, stress, and what we put into our bodies. It’s our organ that everyone sees. We try numerous creams, sprays and masks that promise to erase wrinkles, firm skin, and give us that youthful glow again. We can drop hundreds of dollars in search for the fountain of youth. Some people even choose to go under the knife and come out with a duck in headlights look. That’s right, a duck, not a deer. There are fillers and botox that can result in an unexpressive face. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big fan of needles. So, what are we to do? Do we just let nature take its course and allow the chicken wattle neck to set in?

Here’s where esthetician and small business owner, Samantha Dench with Skin Deep, can step in and give your skin that UMPH of lifting and toning with Microcurrent treatments. She also offers services such as facials and waxing. I have been a satisfied, happy recipient of one of her relaxing facials and a Microcurrent treatment.

What is a Microcurrent Treatment?

A Microcurrent treatment is known to be the most effective non-surgical method to reverse the conditions I mentioned earlier. There are 32 different muscles in the face that are basically being re-trained from their current state using probes that send out low levels of electricity that mirror our body’s own natural electrical currents to reposition the muscle tissue while triggering chemical reactions at a cellular level to promote the production of natural elastin and collagen.

Over the years we have trained these muscles with our different facial expressions from the furrowed brow you get when concentrating to the resting frowning lips from all that smiling we do. Some muscles haven’t been used much and with time can cause sagging skin, which is also due to our skin cells being less active with age and the break down of elastin and collagen. Because of this we can lose the definition in our jaw line and under our chin. Oh, aging is so fun, isn’t it?

Samantha uses this program to map your face for the treatment:

Microcurrent benefits include:

• Improves muscle tone in face and neck
• Diminishes appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
• Reduces or clears up acne
• Sun damage treatment
• Lifts eyebrows and jowls
• Smooths and firms skin
• Improves elasticity
• Improves skin pigment
• Hydrates and revitalizes the skin

Here is a before and after from just one treatment:

Another before and after some treatments:

Samantha started her small business spa, Skin Deep, almost six years ago. She has been licensed for 12 years and worked at a Medi-Spa for three years before opening her own spa. Samantha is also Oncology trained and certified to work with cancer patients. She attends conferences and shows to keep herself on top of the newest treatments and products out there.

She juggles her business and being a mommy of three children (ages 3, 4 and 8). Her husband created an area in their basement for the spa so she could have that flexibility to do both of these important jobs. Samantha is very sweet and has those small business personal touches that make your experience even more pleasant.

Samantha really works on getting to the root of what your skin needs, working from the inside out. She suffered from adult acne and learned that once she eliminated certain things in her diet and stopped using toxic over-the-counter products, her skin cleared up. She customizes facials after asking her clients questions and determines the best treatments and products for your skin.

Skin Deep also provides an amazing product line, Osmosis Skincare, which uses “holistic therapies rooted in science.” Check out their amazing results with before and after pictures. I was impressed and it makes me want to give it a try.  osmosisskincare.com
