What's the principle behind Powerskin?
The Powerskin combines advanced western computer technology with the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. A treatment session stimulates the body to heal itself from within, resulting in a transformed outer appearance.

What's the Powerskin procedure actually like?
The Powerskin's artificial intelligence directs your treatment while you relax on the therapy table. The computer 'reads' the bioelectric energy of the specific tissue area in order to evaluate its current condition and determine specific therapy requirements. This means you always receive a customized session each time you have a Powerskin treatment, (a key benefit other microcurrent therapies cannot offer).

What is that gel used with Powerskin?
A nutrient-rich electrolyte gel, specifically formulated for the area undergoing treatment, is applied, and your therapist then places a micro-conductor along the appropriate meridian lines (energy pathways) of the body. The computer calculates how the tissue is reacting and varies the frequency to ensure each area receives the optimum treatment.

In a nutshell, what's the science behind Powerskin?
The technologically advanced and sophisticated artificial intelligence of Powerskin customizes the microcurrent transmission at a rate of 900 times per second. The specially formulated nutrient-rich conductivity gel ensures correct calibration of the treatment along with delivering active ingredients into the skin. Enhanced beauty is achieved inside and out.

Computer programmed low frequency microcurrents transfer energy into the area to be treated, stimulating the tissue to start a remarkable process of renewal. Scientific studies have shown that:

· Collagen production and cell repair is activated.
· Cells are loaded with energy so they can perform at their optimum
  level.
· Water and waste materials stored in your fat cells are redistributed
  to the lymphatic pathways, and eliminated by the body.
· Circulation is stimulated, which speeds up the metabolism to
  enhance your ability to burn fat.
· Balanced tissue hydration is restored.

How often should I have a Powerskin treament, and for how long?
To achieve optimum results, a minimum of two treatments per week are required, with two days in between each session. Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated, but on average lasts about 60 minutes. A Powerskin session is totally pain-free with no side effects; in fact, many clients report feelings of increased well-being and energy after a session.

How soon will I see results from a Powerskin treatment?
Results can often be seen after just a single treatment, but a series of twelve treatments over a six week period are required to show the most significant results. Your therapist will take digital photographs of the area before and after the first treatment, and then after every sixth treatment. It's a great way to track your body's transformation.

Will I feel pain or experience side effects?
No side effects, no pain, no risk - that's the beauty of Powerskin! After a treatment you may feel the need to urinate frequently. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the treatment is having the desired effect; your system has been stimulated into flushing toxins out.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Every client is unique in the number of treatments they will need to achieve their optimal results because of individual physiological composition. However, an initial series of 12 treatments over a two week period is recommended to start.

How much does it cost?
Treatment prices vary according to the area being treated and will be discussed during your consultation. Single treatments can be purchased, however the series package price provides the best value.

Do I need Powerskin maintenance treatments?
Once the desired result has been achieved (usually after 12 treatments), we recommend that you schedule convenient annual maintenance treatments to keep you looking and feeling your best. Usually maintenance treatments are done every three to four months depending on your age, condition and the area being treated. Your therapist will recommend what is best for you.

Can I have more than one area treated at a time with Powerskin?
During your initial 12 treatments, you can only have one area treated at a time; otherwise the body's energy is dispersed and not concentrated where required. However, when you start your maintenance program you can do two areas at the same time.

If I Have Breast Implants Can I Still Have Firming Treatments with Powerskin?
Powerskin has shown remarkable toning, firming, lifting and scar reduction results for clients who have had breast implants inserted and for those who have had implants removed or changed.

Do I Need a Special Diet or Strenuous Exercise?
Powerskin treatments are effective without the need for strict diets or exercise plans. However, as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, we do recommend that clients increase their intake of fresh fruits and vegetables; reduce the level of saturated fats in their diet and try to get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day. We do require that clients drink at least two litres of water a day to keep the body properly hydrated which will help to maximize the best possible results from their treatment.

Under what circumstances would I not be able to have the treatment?
Pregnant and breast feeding women, clients wearing a pacemaker, suffering from epilepsy or cancer shouldn't have Powerskin treatments. Clients with large metal implants such as artificial hips may not see significant results in the area of the prosthesis, but can have successful treatment in other areas. If you're feeling unwell, for example you have the flu, the energy levels in your body will be low, so you may not get the most out of your treatment.
