Structural Evolution

Microcurrent delivers low-level electrical impulses that closely mirror the body's own bioelectric signals — the same type of current your nervous system uses to communicate with muscle tissue. When applied systematically across the face, these impulses stimulate communication between the muscle and the skin above it, supporting lift, tone, cellular energy production, and structural integrity over time.

Unlike neuromodulators such as Botox, which work by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles, microcurrent works by actively engaging and training them. A paralyzed muscle does not contract, and a muscle that doesn't contract will over time begin to atrophy — losing volume and tone, which contributes to the spongy, lax appearance many clients notice as neuromodulators wear off. Some clients who incorporate consistent microcurrent report being able to extend that interval — in some cases to four to six months — as the underlying musculature stays more supported between treatments.

Not all microcurrent devices are the same, and the difference is significant. Many devices on the market deliver a fixed, static current through a single channel — meaning the signal is identical regardless of what the skin actually needs, and it loses integrity as it travels through tissue.

Skin Shaman uses a professional Neurotris microcurrent system — recognized as one of the most advanced facial microcurrent devices on the market, and the device of choice for discerning clients including Paris Hilton and Madonna.

The system operates across four independent signal channels simultaneously, delivering precise current to more surface area per pass than single-channel systems. Each channel is independently controlled and adjusted throughout the session to match your skin's response and comfort level.

Five distinct program modes — Oxygen, Pico, Tone, Build, and Lift — each deliver a specific signature frequency designed to produce a specific biological effect. Oxygen supports cellular respiration and luminosity. Pico and Tone address fine line reduction and surface refinement. Build and Lift work deeper into the musculature to train, firm, and reposition facial structure.

The experience varies by treatment phase. During surface-level programs the sensation is subtle — some areas are almost imperceptible. During the deeper Build and Lift phases, particularly along the cheeks and jaw, the sensation becomes more visceral as the current engages the musculature directly. Most clients find this deeply engaging rather than uncomfortable, and intensity is always adjusted to your comfort throughout.

Microcurrent works on the same principle as physical exercise. A single session produces a visible result, but lasting structural change requires consistent, repeated input over time. Muscles need to be trained, not just stimulated once.

The number of sessions needed varies by individual — age, skin condition, degree of correction, and how the body responds to stimulation all influence the process. At your first appointment your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss a realistic treatment plan based on what she observes. Sessions during the initial series are most effective when spaced every 10 to 14 days.

In some cases — particularly where advanced glycation or significant sun damage is present — a course of Metabolic Cycling may be recommended alongside your Fusion Lift series. Every Fusion Lift includes a Level One peel as a standard component of the protocol.

Fusion Lift is built on microcurrent as the structural foundation. Each session includes at least one additional modality selected by the practitioner based on observed skin condition and treatment goals. Modalities are rotated deliberately over time to prevent adaptation and support continued improvement rather than a plateau.

• Nano Infusion — device-assisted delivery supporting hydration, luminosity, and absorption beyond topical application alone.
• LED Therapy — targeted wavelengths supporting cellular repair, collagen activity, and calm.
• Microdermabrasion — mechanical resurfacing that refines texture and supports cellular turnover.
• Dermaplaning — manual removal of surface dead cells and vellus hair, creating a smooth refined surface.
• Cold Atmospheric Plasma — non-thermal plasma treatment supporting surface skin health without heat, discomfort, or downtime. No numbing required.
• Activated Oxygen — oxygenating treatment supporting circulation, hydration, and visible luminosity.
• PLLA Facial Filler Smoothing — poly-L-lactic acid application supporting collagen stimulation and surface line smoothing over time.
• Microneedling — used selectively on specific areas of concern. Candidacy and application discussed at the time of treatment.

Yes. Series and maintenance rates are available for clients committed to a treatment plan. Clients actively working through their initial series and returning within 14 days receive a preferred series rate. Clients returning for maintenance within 4 to 6 weeks receive a maintenance rate. Both are booked at the time of your appointment in the treatment room — not available for online self-booking. Pricing is discussed at your first appointment.

Come with clean skin — a thorough cleanse is the first step of every session, so there is nothing you need to do beforehand.

Hydration is one of the most important preparation factors. Skin conductivity is directly influenced by how hydrated the tissue is at a cellular level. As the body ages its ability to retain water inside the cells becomes less efficient — drinking adequate water in the days before your appointment supports better current delivery and faster recovery.

For clients who want to maximize results, consider adding electrolytes to your routine. Sodium, potassium, and magnesium regulate how water moves into and out of cells. Simply drinking more water without sufficient electrolytes may not fully hydrate tissue at the cellular level where microcurrent works.

Microcurrent works at the cellular level and the internal environment matters. The following have the most direct impact on outcomes:

• Alcohol dehydrates tissue and depletes B vitamins, zinc, and collagen-supporting nutrients. Even moderate regular consumption can blunt results noticeably.
• Sugar and refined carbohydrates accelerate glycation — making collagen and elastin fibers stiff and less responsive.
• Sleep is when cellular repair happens. Chronic disruption elevates cortisol and impairs collagen rebuilding.
• Protein intake supports collagen synthesis directly. Sources rich in glycine and proline give the skin the building blocks it needs.
• Vitamin C is essential for collagen production. Consistent dietary intake or supplementation supports the structural work microcurrent initiates.
• Zinc supports collagen synthesis and cellular repair and is frequently deficient in modern diets.
• Omega-3 fatty acids reduce systemic inflammation and support barrier integrity.

Microcurrent is not appropriate for clients with a pacemaker or implanted electrical device, active cancer, epilepsy, or pregnancy. If you have metal implants in the treatment area please mention this at booking.
