Microcurrent Facial Treatments: What's the buzz?

Microcurrent facial is an anti-aging treatment so successful it’s been dubbed as the ‘Non-Surgical Face Lift’. Microcurrent has been the talk of the town for a while. And for a good reason! When you hear about a facial treatment that makes you younger instantly, you probably have lots of questions. What is it? How does it work? Is it safe? This natural alternative to botox and fillers will transform your skin and give you a younger-looking, smooth, and lifted face!

What is a microcurrent facial?

In short, a microcurrent facial is an anti-aging miracle skincare treatment. In other words, it's a facial that's focused on your skin and muscles. 43 facial and 26 muscles in your neck naturally lose their tone and firmness through aging. Microcurrent therapy treatment utilizes a low-grade electrical current to "train" all those muscles. It contours, tones, firms and lifts the muscles and the skin. The result is a healthier complexion that makes you look younger.   

How does it work?

The microcurrent encourages the production of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) which leads to the creation and stimulation of structural proteins like elastin and collagen. Collagen is the main protein that your body uses to build muscle. Hence why this facial functions as a workout for your face. Furthermore, the non-invasive treatment triggers the body’s natural signals which induce tissue repair. This causes a release of natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level. As a result, damaged skin starts to repair and the production of collagen is stimulated.

Is a microcurrent facial safe?

Don’t worry, it’s painless and safe for most of the population. However, the treatment uses a low-grade electrical current. Therefore people with pacemakers or any kind of heart condition should avoid it. Moreover, pregnant women are advised against it as well. Most importantly, you should always discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities with your doctor or aesthetician before starting any treatments.

Can microcurrent treatment cause cancer?

One of the most common concerns about microcurrent treatment is whether or not it can cause cancer. There is no evidence to suggest that microcurrent treatment increases the risk of cancer.

Microcurrent facial side effects

Microcurrent facial is considered a low-risk treatment, but there are some potential side effects that you should be aware of before starting treatment such as:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Tingling or numbness
• Pain or discomfort
• Headache
• Dizziness

The key benefits of microcurrent treatment

Stimulate collagen and elastin production

Microcurrent treatment works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. As we age, our bodies produce less and less of these important proteins, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and a generally unhealthy appearance. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microcurrent treatment can help reverse these signs of aging and leave you with firmer, younger-looking skin.

Improve blood circulation

Poor blood circulation is another common contributor to aging skin. Microcurrent treatment can help improve blood circulation, delivering vital nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells and helping to flush out toxins. This can leave your skin looking brighter, healthier, and more youthful.

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

One of the most immediately noticeable benefits of microcurrent treatment is a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This effect is achieved by increasing collagen and elastin production, as well as improving blood circulation. If you're looking for a non-invasive way to reduce the signs of aging, microcurrent treatment may be right for you.

Tone and tighten sagging skin

Sagging skin is a common problem that can make you look older than you are. Microcurrent treatment can help to tone and tighten sagging skin, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Remove toxins from the skin

Toxins can accumulate in the skin over time, leading to a variety of skin problems. By increasing blood circulation and helping to flush out toxins, microcurrent treatment can help keep your skin looking clear and healthy.

Lift drooping eyebrows

Drooping eyebrows can give you a tired or sad appearance. Microcurrent treatment can help to lift drooping eyebrows, giving you a more youthful and energetic look.

Get rid of dark circles under the eyes

Dark circles under the eyes can make you look exhausted and older than you are. Microcurrent treatment can help reduce the appearance of dark circles by improving blood circulation and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

Plump up thin lips

Thin, wrinkled lips are another common sign of aging. Microcurrent treatment can help to plump up thin lips, giving you a more youthful appearance.
