NeurotriS Pico Toner Secret Club

be well {groomed}’s cheat sheet for that badass at-home magic maker, the Pico Toner

Here are the Top 5 Benefits of Neurotris Mcirocurrent for Your Skin

  1. Increased Blood Flow: The low level electrical pulses that are provided by microcurrent will stimulate blood and lymphatic flow in the skin. This moves the fluid more effectively to keep skin nourished, healthy & bright. Circulation is everything and dang if it doesn’t get sloggy with the trips around the sun!
  2. Hydration: The microcurrent technology will send electric pulses into the skin that will trigger ATP production that helps to improve cellular function, thus improving oxygen levels, and hydration levels. And, as your esthetician is always telling you: hydrated skin is more resilient. When your skin has optimum hydration it is less reactive, less prone to irritation, redness & sensitivity and looks more firm and smooth.
  3. Volume: With stimulated oxygen and hydration levels, the skin has greater volume, this is compounded when the low level electrical pulses stimulate muscle contraction which leads to toned facial muscular structure
  4. Firmness: The improved hydration levels and improved oxygen levels have cells operating at their highest levels.  Then the improvement in the tone of the facial muscles, combined with high quality skin care will help to improve the firmness of the skin. And who doesn’t want firmer skin? This is what brings your face, neck and other areas that *lift* we all crave. Don’t let gravity win without a fight! 🙂
  5. Luminosity: When the life of the skin cell is extended through hydration and oxygenation, the live skin cells on the surface will more easily reflect light, causing the skin to appear luminous and glowing!  You might not have considered this word but this is what you’re thinking of when you see youthful skin that radiates health.

Let’s Unpack Your Pico Toner

  • On =  Press center button for 1-2 seconds. It will flash P1 or P2. Th3se are the 2 pre-programmed dynamic microcurrent sessions.
  • Off = Unlock screen by pressing middle button then scroll down to 0
  • Unlock = hit the center button once. The screen locks automatically if no buttons are pushed for a bit or programs are started; and also locks once the programs start. You have to Unlock to turn off, change intensity levels, switch programs.
  • There are two programs = P1 & P2. They are each 20 mins. And they each run 2 pre-set different microcurrent sessions at 10 mins each.

P1 = refine lines & wrinkles, facial lifting, tightening, toning, brightening, minimize pores, gives an overall radiance

P2 = builds collagen, elastin through energizing ATP

  • If you pick P1, you do 5 mins of movements on the right, then 5 on the left. The pre-set session will automatically change and you do 5 more movements on each side.
  • Snap the cables to the gloves. I typically wear the Black/Negative on my right hand. Velcro the strap around your wrist and place the unit on the strap.

Let’s get started!

  • It’s good to move around prior to treating your skin to microcurrent. Blood flow gets the results.
  • And remember: microcurrent loves water so stay hydrated!
  • Always begin with a clean face. The electrostimulation between surface skin and underlying tissues increases the absorption of surface level products (and everything else)
  • Apply Stem Factor serum with gentle massage movements. Areas with less circulation (like forehead and undereye may need more attention).
  • Always start with Stem Factor. As you progress and your skin becomes more resilient, you can also add: Calm, Correct, Renew, Catalyst AC-11, Facial Infusion, HydraLift mask (individually and blended into a cocktail).
  • Wet the gloves (with tap water or even better, electrolyte water (from Trader Joe’s is fine). Keep some water to re-dip your gloves into.
  • Unlock screen, scroll up and down (plus sign increases)
  • Begin with a lower setting, maybe 15; you can always increase it.
    • You just want to feel it. Your skin does not need to jump to be improved. But you will prefer higher intensity as you become accustomed to the feel.
  • Start from upper chest/lower neck and work upward.
  • Upward sweeping movements:  1 hand on one side of the face; 1 hand on the other
  • Plus Cinch & Hold on naseolabial & cheeks
  • and on eyes too … eye lift + smile lines PLUS those keep those upper lids tight!
  • Erase on fine lines on lip, especially those fine lines (small circles) and deeper smile lines (cinch upward & hold)
  • Don’t forget the back of the neck

The standard moves to make with the gloves and the rods:

  • Black on top, red on bottom
  • Do not touch gloves; cancels out current
  • Glide Cinch & hold and Erase
  • Glide = like it sounds, smooth movement upward
  • Cinch & Hold = bring black to a position & hold. Scoop skin with red and hold.
    • Red up to the black
    • Great for areas you *really* want to target
    • Hold for 4-8 seconds (longer is better)
  • Erase = exactly like it sounds —> erasing fine lines. Hold the black hand steady (say, at lifting the cheek). The right hand makes small back & forth or circular movements on nasolabial folds or around lips.
  • Rec’d to alternate P1 & P2 every other usage

You can use the Neurotris on all body areas to tone, lift and improve the hydration, texture and look of your skin

  • Decollate: for sun damage & crepeness
  • P1 on body: use higher levels (thicker skin)
  • Legs = start at bottom and Glide up. Mix in holding.
    • 20 mins on each full leg & buttocks
    • Upward Glide to Holding movements
    • Roll to one side … Do buttocks
  • Include time for your abdomen
  • Next up: arms
    • Remove insert from glove on red/ positive.
    • Leave insert on black/negative
    • Glide black up arm … glide & hold to tighten & tone skin area
    • Reverse for opposite arm
    • You can do hand & face together. P1 as above but no inserts.
