What is microcurrent?

Microcurrent is a type of low-voltage electrical current that is widely used in medical and cosmetic applications. Microcurrent devices typically use very low voltage and amperage, often less than one milliampere. 

In the beauty industry, microcurrent is often used for facial firming and rejuvenation. The electrical current is applied to the skin using a small handheld device that delivers a series of gentle pulses to the facial muscles, lifting, firming and tightening the skin. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime. It is a clinically tested skin care therapy that has been used for decades and is a safe skin care technology.

How does microcurrent therapy work?

Microcurrent therapy sends gentle waves through skin tissues and muscles, without pain, giving you a healthy and younger-looking beauty treatment. The currents are usually delivered using small handles or pads that are placed on the surface of the skin. The electrical pulses help relax tight muscles and strengthen weak muscles. Used on the face, it helps to lift the face.

In a broader perspective, microcurrent therapy helps to dramatically increase ATP levels, the energy level needed to fuel the body’s functions. It also helps to stimulate protein synthesis, which is necessary for:

• Tissue repair
• Improved circulation
• Improved skin texture

What is a microcurrent facial?

A microcurrent facial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure and an alternative to Botox. It is a popular choice for beauty treatments because it is painless and requires no downtime. It uses a specialized microcurrent machine with low electrical currents to stimulate the muscles in the face, neck, and other areas of the body. The electrical currents used in microcurrent facials are very gentle and are similar in intensity to the natural electrical impulses produced by the body’s cells.

Goals of Microcurrent Facial Treatment:

• Improve overall skin tone and texture
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Increase circulation and lymphatic drainage

Improve muscle tone

Microcurrent therapy can help stimulate the underlying muscles in the skin, leading to improved muscle tone and a lifted, younger-looking appearance. Microcurrent technology also helps relax muscles and improve circulation, which can benefit those with muscle tension or spasms.

Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

The low electrical currents used in microcurrent treatments stimulate the muscles and tissues beneath the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin; this therapy can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin.

Improve skin hydration

Microcurrent therapy can help improve the absorption of skin care products, which can help increase hydration and improve the overall health of the skin. It also promotes the healing process of wounds and injuries by increasing blood flow and stimulating cell regeneration.

Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage

This therapy can help increase circulation and lymphatic drainage, which reduces swelling and improves skin health. It can also help reduce swelling and inflammation.

Relaxation and stress reduction

Microcurrent treatments can help stimulate the release of endorphins, leading to a greater sense of relaxation and reduced stress. Microcurrent technology has a calming effect on the nervous system, leading to better quality sleep and more restful nights.

Microcurrent technology has clinically proven benefits that provide both immediate and cumulative results.
