Ok, everyone, I haven't posted in ages but I am back! I've been doing a fun experiment. I usually have clients who are doing a series of microcurrent treatments in the spa come in twice a week for 6 or more weeks. I'm doing a power series where I'm doing twelve microcurrent treatments to myself with my professional machine, once daily! You can see the results on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/christinebyer

I'll try to post a before and after photo of 6 treatments here. But if it doesn't work you can see the results on my channel.
Cheers!

The link for Christine's Youtube videos didn't work for me. It should have been http://www.youtube.com/user/christinebyer/
Hope this works.

Hi Christine wave Welcome back. I have been following your 12 day challenge with interest. I have a Pico toner and have experienced the Neurotris 3800 machine. I'm a subscriber and a fan of your channel.
You go girl!

Thanks everyone. Today was day 11. I posted a quick video about the progress. My toddler walked in during taping-oh well what can you do! Here it is (it's quick)

http://youtu.be/2KGfsCzc7oA

Let's see if I get the courage to post before and afters here. Kinda scary seeing my face up close with no makeup. Yikes! Really want to take the others down, but also want people to see the progress.

Thanks for watching. Stay tuned.

Thanks Christine. I could really see great results a few days ago. Love microcurrent!

Hi Sister sweets,

After checking out the pico toner thread I'm guessing this forum does lots of microcurrent everyday. I'm dying to pick up a pair but having a hard time justifying it since I have a good machine already (along with a million other machines) and alas, no clients (only at the spa where I work). Sigh.

I sure understand! You are doing great with what you have. Part of the battle is using it! and then using it correctly. You rock. Thanks Christine for all you share with us. I love your vids!

Sister Sweets, thanks! How cool you went to the Emmys and got to talk about Neurotris. And now I'm all interested in AGS! Can't wait to try it.
Kassy, I lived in Miami for 10 years. My hubby's from Trinidad. So who knows, maybe after a few Indiana winters, we'll be moving back! I loved Miami and Florida in general. (Sniff...I miss it!)

And psychicemergencyroom? You gals are so interesting. So many things to check out!

Cheers,
Christine

Thanks for the you tube videos.

Unfortunately I am an at home user. I have tried the Suzanne Summers facemaster. That was nothing compared to that SSC EGG thing. That really gave you a jolt.

I am currently testing the NuFace. I see what you mean by not being able to get it where you want.

I think that is why I like the probes on the facemaster. Is there anyway to turn that low enough to make it true microcurrent?

I feel this should really work. I just can't find the right home machine to do it.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

The results are in, here are the before and after photos (at zero, after 6 and after 12 microcurrent treatments). Twelve treatments in 12 days! Some of the shots are downright scary, but it's all in the name of (pseudo) science, right?

Christine, you are very brave for doing this! But I have to ask why the lighting is so different in the various pics?

Here's the last video of the series:

Http://youtu.be/N8r4au1HFCs

Sorry about the different lighting. I really dropped the ball on that one. If you really want to see the difference, watch some of my videos from a couple months ago when I was doing nothing to my skin. Compare it to today's video. One member here sent me a pm with comparison shots from the video I did on the 4th day and the 7th day. Pretty cool. Maybe I'll put those up.

Cheers,
Christine

I don't think you can turn the face master down to true microcurrent. I'm not sure the amperage of that machine but it zings ya! True microcurrent you rarely feel.

How are you liking the NuFace? I hear they have wands now. That's great because probe placement is so important!

Congratulations Christine on completing the challenge and getting such nice results. I only just now saw the still photos and you went from looking exhausted and sad as if you had the world on your shoulders to looking fresh, relaxed and happy.

But even before seeing the pics (which showed the improved jawline, diminished nasolabial lines, smoothing out of your face, etc), your videos had already blown me away. I didn't even need the lighting to be the same to detect the changes that were happening. It was so clear to me how your face progressively became line-free so that you started to look flawless like a porcelain doll and oh so fresh! But unlike Botoxed faces which are frozen, you were still very expressive and your face would return to that relaxed look once you completed the expression. I found myself unable to take my eyes off you the way babies can't help but stare at beautiful faces. Laughing

I think you are such a good ad for the services you have to offer your clients. I wish you continued success....

Hi Christine,

Beautiful results!! Your cheeks *really* pop in your after photos, proving microcurrent does indeed work, despite the difference in the lighting! There's no hiding that! Wishing you all the best in your new home. But, please keep posting!! We need all the expert microcurrent advice you can share with us!! Btw, I really enjoy your videos and techniques!! Aprile Very Happy

Nonie,

Thank you! It was really cool to see the results happen for me just as they do my clients, only faster! It would be so fun to do a makeover of the week as some makeup artists do on youtube, only I would use every machine I have, everyday, for 7 days. That would be a commitment, but so interesting to see how much change could happen in a week to any aging face. I mean, I see it a lot with clients, but they are not so keen to have their photos plastered all over Youtube and Facebook!
Thanks for watching. Let's see what I come up with next. Hmmmm, maybe I'll grab my mom...

Aprile,
Thank you! I'll keep posting. It's a bit more of a task now that I'm working for a spa but I will continue to post. Let me know if you have any requests for specific topics.
