"I’m Hollie Olson on behalf of Expert Village. I’m going to talk about another feature of the ultrasonic machine. The particular unit that I have also does a micro current face-lift, and that simply means that it’s going to stimulate the muscles through vibration massage with low frequency to lift the skin by tightening those muscles and having them work for you. It also creates a lot of blood circulation and blood flow and helps remove the toxins from the skin. Doctors have found that with ultrasonic waves that when you’re penetrating the skin with a micro current like this you actually produce more collagen in your skin by a lower frequency. I’m simply going to take the machine and you’ll hear a little buzzing, and you guide it over the skin. What we’re doing is we’re lifting and my model is feeling a little pulses go across her skin. This is always in an upward motion, never go down on you skin when you’re trying to do a lifting treatment. It’s all upward stokes following your skin line. One area to be very mindful of is between the eyes and the forehead to try to prevent that little crease that most of us get through age. I’m following through. This is a great benefit. This is not only lifting but it’s continuing to penetrate product and you create that blood flow. "
