How NeurotriS® Works:
The Science Behind Intelligent Facial Rejuvenation
Most facial treatments begin where you can see the ageing.
At Contour Atelier, we begin by looking at what’s supporting it.
Intro
When most people think about facial ageing, they think about wrinkles.
But wrinkles are often the final chapter—not the beginning.
Perhaps you’ve noticed your face doesn’t look tired…
…it simply doesn’t feel like you anymore.
Your cheeks aren’t where they once were.
Your jawline feels softer.
Your eyes look heavier.
Yet your skin may actually be in good condition.
That’s because facial ageing often begins beneath the surface.
As we age, our face changes in several different ways. Muscles become weaker or overactive, fascia loses its ability to glide freely, circulation slows, lymphatic fluid can stagnate, collagen production decreases, and the fat pads that once supported the face gradually shift.
This is why simply treating the skin rarely creates truly natural-looking results.
NeurotriS® approaches facial rejuvenation differently.
Instead of focusing on just one layer, it allows us to work through multiple anatomical layers of the face using three specialised treatment applications—each designed for a different purpose.
Together, they create a treatment that is both highly customised and remarkably effective.
Understanding the Layers of Facial Ageing
Imagine your face like a beautifully constructed building.
The skin is simply the exterior.
Underneath sits a complex support system made up of:
- Facial muscles
- Fascia
- Fat pads
- Lymphatic vessels
- Blood vessels
- Connective tissue
If the foundation weakens, the exterior naturally changes.
Rather than masking these changes, NeurotriS helps optimise the tissues beneath the skin.
NeurotriS treatments work with multiple anatomical layers—not just the surface of the skin.
The Fascial System: The Hidden Framework of the Face
Beneath the skin lies a continuous web of connective tissue called fascia. Think of it as the body’s internal support network. It surrounds and connects every muscle, blood vessel, nerve and fat compartment, helping them work together as one integrated system.
In the face, healthy fascia allows muscles to glide efficiently, supports balanced movement and helps maintain the natural architecture of your features. It also plays an important role in how force is transmitted through the face, meaning the way one muscle moves can influence surrounding tissues.
As we age—and through stress, repetitive facial expressions, inflammation or injury—the fascial system may become less supple. When this happens, tissues don’t move as freely, facial expressions can become less efficient, and the face may begin to feel tighter, heavier or less supported.
Unlike treatments that focus solely on the skin, NeurotriS combines advanced microcurrent with skilled manual techniques. This allows treatment to support the muscles, circulation, lymphatic system and the surrounding connective tissues that all contribute to healthy facial function.
While research into facial fascia is rapidly evolving, its importance in facial ageing and movement is becoming increasingly recognised.

Why Fascia Could Be the Missing Piece in Facial Ageing
We’ll be exploring the fascial system in much greater depth in a dedicated article, including why it has become one of the most exciting areas of modern facial anatomy.
One Technology. Three Different Ways to Treat the Face.
Unlike traditional microcurrent devices that rely on one style of treatment, NeurotriS offers three specialised applications.
Each has its own purpose and each allows us to treat the face differently.
1. NeurotriS Gloves
Restoring Flow Through the Entire Face
The conductive gloves allow your therapist to work with the face using precise manual techniques while simultaneously delivering advanced microcurrent.
This creates an incredibly natural treatment experience that follows the anatomy rather than simply moving over it.
The gloves are particularly effective for:
- facial circulation
- lymphatic movement
- facial relaxation
- scalp treatment
- fascia mobilisation
- reducing muscular tension
One of their greatest strengths is treating areas that are often ignored during aesthetic treatments—the scalp and temples.
The gloves also allow us to treat important muscles of the scalp and jaw that many facial treatments overlook.
2. The Four-Probe Application
Precision Lifting and Facial Re-education
The four-probe attachment delivers a more focused microcurrent treatment, allowing us to precisely target facial muscles while efficiently treating larger areas.
It is particularly effective for:
- Full face lifting
- Neck rejuvenation
- Jawline definition
- Décolletage treatment
- Muscle activation
- Collagen support
This is often the stage where clients begin to notice improved facial definition, enhanced contours and a naturally lifted appearance.
3. The Dual-Probe Application
Precision Sculpting
The dual probes allow us to isolate smaller muscles and more delicate areas.
This makes them ideal for refining facial contours and treating areas that require greater precision.
Common treatment areas include:
- lips
- around the eyes
- nasolabial folds
- brows
- cheeks
- chin
- smaller facial muscles
Because the probes can gently “grasp” and stimulate specific muscles, they are excellent for restoring volume and improving muscle activation where support has diminished.
The Areas Most Facial Treatments Overlook
Most facial treatments begin where you can see the ageing. At Contour Atelier, we begin by looking at what’s supporting it.
The face doesn’t function as an isolated structure. It is connected to the scalp, jaw, muscles and fascial network that extend well beyond the areas most people think of as “the face.”
By assessing these often-overlooked structures, we can support the systems that influence facial support, movement and overall appearance.. This whole-system approach is one of the reasons NeurotriS feels so different from traditional facial treatments.
Facial rejuvenation isn’t simply about stimulating muscles that have become weaker. It’s also about understanding which muscles have become stronger, tighter or more dominant over time. True facial rejuvenation comes from restoring balance throughout the entire support system—not just treating the skin.
The Scalp: Where Facial Rejuvenation Really Begins
The scalp isn’t simply hair and skin.
Beneath it lies a complex network of muscles and fascia that forms part of the continuous connective tissue system extending throughout the face and neck.
Think of fascia as a three-dimensional web or suspension network. Rather than existing as isolated pieces, it surrounds and connects muscles, blood vessels, nerves and fat compartments into one integrated support system.
When this network moves freely, the tissues beneath the skin can glide, adapt and function efficiently. However, stress, muscle overuse, ageing and everyday tension may reduce that natural mobility, leaving the tissues feeling tighter and less responsive.
One of the unique advantages of the NeurotriS conductive gloves is the ability to comfortably treat the scalp as part of a complete facial treatment. By combining advanced microcurrent with skilled manual techniques, we’re able to support healthy muscle function, encourage circulation and lymphatic flow, and work with the connective tissue network that links the scalp to the rest of the face.
Many clients describe a sensation of lightness through the forehead and temples immediately after treatment. As the facial support system begins functioning more efficiently, the face can appear smoother, softer and more refreshed—not because the skin has been pulled tighter, but because the underlying tissues are working together more harmoniously.
The Temporalis: Supporting the Upper Face
The temporalis is a broad, fan-shaped muscle that sits above the ears and extends across the side of the scalp.
Although it’s primarily known as a chewing muscle, its influence extends well beyond the jaw. The temporalis forms part of the continuous muscular and fascial network that supports the upper face, temples and forehead.
As we age, or through years of tension and repetitive muscle activity, this region can become less balanced. Because it shares connections with the surrounding fascia, changes here may influence how efficiently the tissues of the upper face move and support one another.
One of the unique advantages of the NeurotriS gloves is the ability to treat this often-overlooked area as part of a complete facial rejuvenation protocol.
By encouraging healthy muscle activity, supporting the surrounding fascial network and improving circulation throughout the scalp, we’re treating one of the foundations of the face—not simply the visible skin.
Clients frequently describe the upper face feeling lighter and more refreshed following treatment, while many notice a softer, more open appearance through the forehead and eye area.
The Masseter: Balancing the Lower Face
The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the body and plays a significant role in defining the shape of the lower face.
For many people, years of clenching, grinding or unconscious tension can leave this muscle overactive. This may create a heavier appearance through the jawline and alter the natural balance between the upper and lower face.
Rather than viewing the masseter as an isolated muscle, NeurotriS allows us to assess it as part of the entire facial support system.
Using advanced microcurrent and skilled manual techniques, treatment helps encourage healthier muscle function while supporting the surrounding connective tissues. When combined with treatment of the scalp, fascia and the smaller facial muscles, this contributes to a more harmonious relationship between the upper and lower face.
The goal isn’t simply muscle relaxation—it’s helping the facial support system function more efficiently, creating a naturally refreshed, balanced appearance.
More Than Muscle Toning
One of the biggest misconceptions about microcurrent is that it simply “tones muscles.”
In reality, NeurotriS allows us to influence several biological systems simultaneously.
Treatment may support:
- muscle activation
- facial symmetry
- circulation
- lymphatic drainage
- connective tissue health
- collagen production
- ATP (cellular energy) production
- tissue repair
- fascial mobility
This multi-layered approach is one reason many clients notice improvements that look natural rather than “done.”
The face simply appears healthier, fresher and more supported.
Why Every Treatment is Different
No two faces age in exactly the same way.
Some clients need muscle activation.
Others require muscle relaxation.
Some benefit from improved lymphatic flow.
Others need greater support through the fascia or connective tissue.
Because NeurotriS includes three specialised treatment applications, every session can be adapted to the individual rather than forcing every face through the same protocol.
That level of customisation is what makes this technology so unique.
Looking Beyond the Skin
Beautiful skin is only part of facial rejuvenation.
True rejuvenation happens when the structures beneath the skin are functioning well.
By supporting muscles, fascia, circulation, lymphatics and connective tissue together, NeurotriS works with your natural anatomy—not against it.
Because when the foundation functions better…
the face naturally follows.
