What is Midwest Beautiful Image?
We are trained in the Beautiful Image Facial and Body Sculpting system. It is a natural, holistic, and comprehensive skin rejuvenation designed to revitalize, restore, and refresh. While our process will improve the production of collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles, our focus is to balance and improve your overall health and vitality.
Midwest Beautiful Image is a treatment that involves the delivery of Microcurrent into the face and body through specially designed conducting wands that are applied at specific acupuncture points. The experience is described as wonderfully relaxing and euphoric, causes no pain or swelling, and the age-defying results are remarkable and immediate.
Midwest Beautiful Image works to tone and lift sagging body areas, reducing the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, cellulite dimples and creases, and achieves an overall firming of muscle tone. The most popular procedures include the stomach, thighs, buttocks, back, arms, and even the hands.
The effect of this dual approach—cosmetic as well as overall health and vitality rejuvenation—results in a younger looking, firmer, revitalized face and body. Midwest Beautiful Image Facial and Body Sculpting, as practiced at the Wahls of Wellness, is the only cosmetic procedure that actually improves your health while you are receiving cosmetic results. And that is the perfect solution for looking and feeling great.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) supports attaining youth and beauty from the inside out. A key principle of TCM is that your outside appearance is both a symptom of, as well as a reflection of, your health inside. In Chinese medicine, health is all about balance and harmony. If you aren’t healthy, it is difficult to keep your face and skin vibrant and glowing, regardless of how many surgeries and injections you may have.
Although mainstream in Europe for several years, the technology is only recently gaining popularity in America, particularly in Hollywood, where most cosmetic trends originate.
For two years in a row, celebrity insiders have reported this as one of the hottest cosmetic procedures among celebrities in the weeks before the Academy Awards. Now more celebs are publicly confessing to being regular clients of this exploding technology, including Goldie Hawn, Jamie-Lee Curtis, Mel Gibson, George Clooney, Liv Tyler, Meryl Streep, Drew Barrymore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock, Susan Sarandon, Rene Zellweger, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jane Fonda, Kate Winslett, Cher and many more.
What is Microcurrent?
The Wahls of Wellness specializes in Beautiful Image Facial and Body Sculpting using microcurrent and topical enhancements that rejuvenate the face and body. The basic treatment is a procedure that involves the delivery of microcurrent into the face and body through specially designed conducting wands that are applied at specific acupuncture points. The experience is described as wonderfully relaxing and euphoric, causes no pain or swelling, and the age-defying results are remarkable.
Microcurrent mimics the electrical current the human body naturally produces. Microcurrent has been used in the medical field for over 60 years and is safe and free of harmful side effects. In fact, the microcurrent we use is so mild that it would take nearly 1 million of our devices to light up a 40-watt light bulb.
While many cosmetic procedures like skin resurfacing rely upon invasive means such as wounding the dermis to obtain results, the results from Midwest Beautiful Image are produced in a non-invasive and non-abrasive way that stimulates natural regenerative powers within your body. FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) clinical research shows the following effects:
• 500% increase in ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the chemical fuel of human cells)
• 35% increase in blood circulation
• 40% increase in Gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose)
• 45% increase in the number of elastin fibers in the dermis
• 50% increase in the length of the elastin fibers
• 10% increase in collagen thickness in the connective tissue
• 35% increase in the number of blood vessels
• 28% increase lymphatic drainage
Why do we age?
It’s been said that our personalities show our beauty to the world, but looking the best we can on the outside will only add to the overall package. As we age, noticeable changes take place on the face and neck and we’re at the mercy of many factors, including sun, diet, genetics, lifestyle, harsh weather and our own bad habits. After about age 18 your body no longer produces elastin (responsible for the elasticity of your skin). Also, your body’s production of collagen (responsible for the hydration that helps prevent wrinkles) is reduced to about 1.5% per year.
At the Wahls of Wellness, we provide painless and affordable solutions. With the help of our Beautiful Image Microcurrent Sculpting Machine, your body will literally recharge back to its more youthful electrical state, as though a draining battery were plugged into a charger.
A Facelift without Surgery? No harmful lasers? No recovery time?
What results can I expect on my face?
If you already have signs of aging, you can expect to look younger once you complete your recommended program. Some respond better than others, but everyone gets age-defying results. Factors that compliment your progress include a healthier diet, drinking lots of clean water daily, avoiding overexposure to UV rays, and exercising regularly. Our technology is so effective, that you should see some noticeable results on your first 1-hour session. Changes are gradual rather than drastic, and look more natural than other non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Look at some of our before/after photos of actual clients just like you. Some of the many benefits from the Midwest Beautiful Image include:
• Diminishes or eliminates fine lines, creases, and wrinkles
• Hydrates and revitalizes skin, making it smoother and softer
• Improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Rejuvenates the “pink glow” of youthful hues
• Visibly firms and contours, lifting the overall droop
• Tightens sagging jowls, doubling chins, and fatty cheeks
• Clears up or reduces acne
• Reduces the appearance of stretch marks & cellulite on the body
• Reduces scarring and dimpling from laser resurfacing
• Reduces dark circles or puffiness under eyes
• Reduces symptoms of Sinusitis, Rhinitis, and Rosacea
What results can I expect on my body?
How many times have you heard someone complain that no matter how much they exercise and diet, they still have the same problem areas on their body? The complaints seem to be universal—flabby inner thighs, love handles, saddlebags, droopy buttocks, stretch marks, and cellulite deposits that show in the form of unsightly wrinkles and “cottage cheese” thighs. Ask any personal trainer and he or she will tell you that it is impossible to “spot reduce” these problem areas… unless your personal trainer happens to know the Wahls of Wellness and our Midwest Beautiful Image treatments.
Some of the benefits of our body sculpting include:
• Spot treatment in specific body areas
• Tightening of loose or wrinkled skin
• Cellulite reduction
• Body shaping and muscle toning
• Boosts metabolism and energy levels
• Reduces scars, acne, and stretch marks
• Contributes to improved muscle strength
• Treatment of post-pregnancy body issues
• Reduction in calloused elbows and knees
• Reduction measured in inches and dress sizes
Resulting in…
• Firm and lifted buttocks
• Shapely legs
• Toned stomach
• Sleeker arms
Don’t confuse Midwest Beautiful Image Body Sculpting with other “body contouring” technologies. We do not use sticky pads that are simply placed in various areas to “vibrate” the skin nor do we rely on suction or massage to “dissolve” cellulite.

How long have you been doing treatments and how long has the technique been around?
The Wahls of Wellness first began to explore Cosmetic Acupuncture in 2005. However, a few years ago we read a series of scientific reports concerning the ability of microcurrent to rejuvenate skin through the discovery of infinitesimally small electrical currents that energize at a cellular level without pain and without the use of acupuncture needles.
Beautiful Image, the developer and manufacturer of the equipment we use, has spent over 30 years in the cosmetic industry. They employed a team of physicians, scientists, and even NASA engineers, over a 10 year time span just to develop the specific microcurrent waveforms that are used. And it is the result of that research, combined with our years in practice, which is the secret to our unique cosmetic results.
What is the age range best suited for these treatments?
Midwest Beautiful Image preserves and maintains the youthful elements of younger clients and postpones future aging issues, while it rejuvenates and restores youthfulness in older clients.
Our patients hanged range in age from early 20’s through 80 years old.
Our youngest clients are often young mothers seeking to regain a shapely appearance of the stomach and abdomen, including minimizing stretch marks and muscle toning.
More mature clients have a variety of aging issues that can be repaired and restored to a much more youthful look by the natural healing powers of Midwest Beautiful Image microcurrent treatments.
Is this treatment safe?
Yes. This treatment is completely safe. There are no harmful side-effects.
Microcurrent has been used on the human body for over 60 years without any reported harmful side effects. Described as a great escape from the worries of the day, the treatment is relaxing and euphoric. There is no pain during or after the treatment, no redness or swelling, and no downtime required. Afterwards clients feel euphoric, as though they just experienced the most fantastic massage; however, they soon describe themselves as feeling invigorated and alert.
Midwest Beautiful Image does not rely upon needles nor a thermal energy source like a laser; therefore there is no inflammation or redness, no need to heal before seeing results, no bruising, and absolutely no downtime. You can resume your day immediately.
How soon will I see results?
Midwest Beautiful Image will produce noticeable changes on the first visit. Further changes will be even more effective and lasting as your facial “memory” is achieved and sustained with more visits.
Of course, some respond better than others, but everyone gets age-defying results. Factors that compliment your progress include a healthier diet, drinking lots of clean water daily, avoiding overexposure to UV rays, and exercising regularly. Our treatment is so effective, that you should see some noticeable results on your first 1-hour session. Because the changes are gradual rather than drastic, you look more natural than other non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
How many sessions are recommended for the full treatment and how often?
For optimal results, the Initial Treatment Protocol is 10 sessions—twice a week for 5 weeks for each area of concern on your body. However, for the busy woman or man, completing two sessions in the first week then once a week thereafter until the initial course of treatment is complete will also give you the same results.
Once you have completed the initial 10 treatments, you should receive a maintenance session every 4-6 weeks just as you would maintain a haircut or hair coloring.
The 10 session protocol is necessary to establish optimal muscle and tissue memory. For example, the face and neck area require an initial 10 session protocol. The stomach area requires an initial 10 session protocol. The front and sides of the thighs also require an initial 10 session protocol. The back of the legs and buttocks are another 10 session initial protocol.
How long does each treatment last?
For Face and Neck Sculpting allow an hour for you initial appointment, and 45 minutes for all subsequent appointments. Body Sculpting depends on the area being treated ranging between 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
How long do the results last?
The results will last as long as you continue to maintain them with maintenance sessions every 4-6 weeks, just as you would maintain a haircut or hair coloring. If you stop maintenance treatments, you risk losing the muscle memory after about 6 months and will have to start a new 10 session treatment protocol again to regain the original youthful look.
How do I prepare for my first visit?
1. Please arrive 15-20 minutes before your appointment to fill out initial forms that will be used to customize a treatment program for you.
2. Some techniques of the treatment will involve points along the neck and upper chest area around the collarbone, so you may be asked to wear a salon wrap or a gown. You may elect instead to bring a spaghetti strap garment or robe to allow access to this area. It is not necessary for women to remove their bra.
3. Your makeup must be removed before a facial treatment, so you should not apply any makeup before your appointment. You may reapply makeup immediately afterwards.
4. It is recommended that you remove your contacts prior to a treatment session, but it is not necessary.
What should I expect during and after a treatment?
After an initial cleansing facial, there will be 3 phases of Microcurrent performed. Phase 1 will stimulate circulation; phase 2 is the sculpting phase, and phase 3 is the setting phase. You should not feel any pain, but at times you may feel a “tingling” sensation. This is normal, but if it becomes uncomfortable it is because more Skin Support cream needs to be applied to that area. Simply inform your professional and they will take the appropriate measures. Your treatment should be relaxing and comfortable.
Everyone experiences different results after a treatment, and there is no way to tell what aging effects will be improved the most, but you can count on being satisfied with the results that are achieved from a full procedural program. Clients over the age of 40 typically see the greatest youthful changes; although younger clients benefit by postponing the signs of aging and maintaining their current youthfulness.
Some potential results from your first treatment may include:
Positive changes in the overall glow/color of your skin.
An overall lift of the facial contours and certain features (most notice the eyes).
Skin should feel tighter and less affected by gravity and movement.
Minor smoothing of lines/wrinkles is also common.
Skin disorders, especially acne and Rosacea may reduce right away.
Some clients appear more changed than others upon their first treatment, but all experience age-defying changes as muscle memory begins to increase at the 6th or 7th session. The quality of your diet, frequency of exercise, and amount of clean water you drink will influence the speed and impact of your results, as well as being a non-smoker.
After a treatment is complete, you may resume your normal day without any swelling or inflammation whatsoever. It is recommended that the Skin Support used during your treatment is not washed off for 4-6 hours in order to receive the best results from this treatment (it is invisible once rubbed into the skin and you may re-apply makeup right after the treatment). Ideally you should sleep with the Skin Support on your face, as you will notice a fantastic improvement in the quality of your skin when you awaken.
What are the indirect benefits to these treatments?
Many clients notice one or more of the following indirect benefits:
• Menstrual cramps relieved
• Menopausal discomfort alleviated
• Fat reduction (in areas treated)
• Back and neck pain relieved
• Depression decreased
• Digestive discomfort and constipation relief
• Increase in energy levels
• Insomnia Alleviated.
Who is not a candidate for treatment?
We do not treat pregnant women. However, post-partum treatments will help with stretch marks, cellulite, and bring you back to feeling revitalized.
Also, Beautiful Image microcurrent technologies are not used on anyone with a pacemaker, defibrillator or anyone who has epilepsy.
Do you take health insurance for the treatments?
No. We do not take insurance. We take cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
