Microcurrent facials were originally medical grade treatments created and used to treat temporary or permanent facial paralysis in patients who have suffered from stroke or Bell's Palsy.
I had Bell's palsy years and years ago. I suffer from minor residual side-effects from the temporary paralysis on the left side of my face. Those side effects are something that I notice every single day that make me incredibly self conscious.
Due to other superficial benefits of microcurrent facials, like more youthful looking skin, they are more readily available for cosmetic purposes and not easily accessible, or affordable, for people like me, who seek it for rehabilitation purposes. THAT is why I am GRATEFUL for Spaweek and all of it's participating Spas, like DAPHNE.
I booked an appointment with Anastasia, a knowledgable and INCREDIBLE esthetician at DAPHNE who was already familiar with Bell's Palsy and the origin of the Microcurrent facial. After carefully and attentively listening to my concerns, she adjusted the facial for me and within minutes of completion, I felt change in stimulation on the affected side of my face. For the following three days, I was very mildly sore, which is specific to me and the atrophied muscles in my face. I remember years ago, when I was recovering and regaining movement of my facial muscles months after losing movement of them, my face was so sore because I was healing. Needless to say, I was right! I have noticed a significant improvement in dexterity on the afflicted side of my face.
This is not to say that Anastasia is a miracle worker! Anyone going to see her for a microcurrent facial should have realistic expectations. I will absolutely see her again and again, because these treatments take time to really make a difference, but I have had them before at different spas and I can honestly say that, Anastasia was by far, hands down, the best esthetician and DAPHNE has the best microcurrent machines I have ever had used on me. And yes, my skin looks better, healthier, more rested, and more youthful.
Anastasia and Daphne: Thank you. I love you.
THE END.
