Hello microcurrent fans. Christine Byer, licensed Master Esthetician here in Austin, Texas.
I specialize in microcurrent and I wanted to talk about lifting the neck today.
The neck is probably one of the hardest areas to lift with microcurrent
But its the hardest area to lift period. You know it's constantly, the whole face is under gravity but the skin on the neck is always hanging
it's a difficult area. Its one of the first areas that people start to see aging.
Besides maybe their eyes.
And it takes some doing. It will definately take a series of microcurrent but
It does lift. I can tell you if you have a fatty neck, what happens to alot of us as we get older
you start to see this in your 40s, is fat migration in the face. So the fat that's like up here that makes us look nice and full
starts to slide down as we get older and so we'll get the jowling. I definately have this going on.
Although microcurrent has made that better. And it will. So if you have the ability to turn the current up on your machine, or the voltage
If it's low, medium, high, I would definately put it on high for this area if you have any fat in your neck, which most of us do.
Past 40 we get that nice little pad. And so what I like to do on the neck is, well first of all HOLD.
You're gonna be holding alooot on the neck. And you know, the neck is a tricky area.
If you get that banding on your neck you will want to start from the middle and pull out. I do that as well.
You know every neck is different so I have different moves I try to use on different necks. But
The basics are simply vertical and horizontal holds. I think the neck, depending on your neck you just keep experimenting until you find the parts that
You know really give it that lift. I like to do this hold method and I get a little more *** for my buck by doing a point and then sliding along the bottom here.
So the current is moving between the two probes. Alot of microcurrent practitioners make the mistake of believing that there is a sheet of energy that is is going from one wand to the next.
But the truth is it's one small little line of current. You know if you've ever seen like those mad scientist balls where the electricity is crackling all over there are little lines
LInes of current, you know. So it's one line of current that is going between my two probes here.
And so with that in mind I think you can get a better treatment. Let's see, and so once I do the vertical moves then I start to do the horizontal
This platysma muscle it tends to start to fall down and lengthen, sort of fall forward. And so we're trying to just lift up the scaffolding
Lift is right back up. And so I'll work on the neck really well. I'm trying this new thing where I wrap it all the way around to behind the platysma.
Since everything is connected. And so you'll want to work the neck really well. Hold a long time. I would make sure to avoid this thyroid area because if you activate it
It can make you just feel nauseous and jittery and hyper. So it's good to avoid the thyroid. It controls our metabolism and a host of other things. So really let's steer clear of the thyroid area.
I wouldn't take two probes and go straight across by any means. You can get close to it but I would definately have the other wand going in the opposite direction.
Once you've worked on the neck, if you still see some wattle, you want to work on that some more. Remember everything is connected
So you can go in and do your jaw points. Really work on the jaw.
Do points like this. Just think about working the scaffolding. You are always trying to work it up and out.
I hope that that helps. Microcurrent is a skill and an art at the same time. I think it takes a few years of doing many many faces to really get some good results.
It's something that can be mastered. I think it depends on your machine, it depends on how many classes you take. It depends on alot of different things.
But I hope to hasten that process. It took me alot of years I think to get the results I'm getting now.
And maybe I can help hasten that so...Thanks for watching!
