How EMS microcurrent works
AddOn EMS uses a second, focused round of low-level microcurrent applied to facial muscle groups after your chosen facial. The gentle electrical stimulation targets key lift points to encourage muscle engagement and definition. As an add-on, it layers onto an existing facial rather than replacing it, delivering an extra tone-focused pass that supports the facial’s shaping work without invasive procedures.
Clients typically feel a mild tingling or gentle pulsing in targeted areas while remaining fully comfortable and awake. The perceptible effect depends on individual muscle tone, skin condition and the sequence of treatments you choose. Because local schedules vary, we can add this round to many facial appointments, accommodating commuters and families who need efficient, layered services.
What to expect during EMS
Before the add-on, your practitioner finishes the steps of the facial you selected and assesses which facial areas will benefit from targeted stimulation. The provider then performs a focused pass of microcurrent to those areas. You remain clothed and conversational; the process is designed to complement the facial rather than extend into a separate treatment session.
Tell us about implanted medical devices, pregnancy, recent cosmetic procedures, or skin sensitivities when you book so we can advise whether AddOn EMS is appropriate. Our team will review any relevant health details and suggest alternates if needed. This conversation helps us balance benefits and limitations for each client without making medical promises.
How EMS results are shaped
Visible changes depend on baseline muscle tone, skin elasticity, and the ongoing facial program you select. Seasonal skin changes in Pittsburgh — drier skin in winter and humidity in summer — can influence how skin looks and feels after treatment, so your provider may recommend different home care or follow-up schedules to support outcomes.
Results accumulate differently per person; some clients choose periodic add-on rounds to help maintain a firmer appearance over time. Scheduling should reflect your commute and household needs — we offer early and late appointments to fit T and bus travel into downtown Pittsburgh, so busy clients can combine services in one visit without extra trips.
