Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microcurrent Therapy?
Microcurrent therapy is a non-invasive therapy that offers a natural alternative to more invasive treatments, such as Botox or fillers. It is a holistic anti-aging treatment used to visibly reduce and diminish fine lines or wrinkles on the face and neck, smooth the skin, lift and tighten the muscles of the face and neck and rejuvenate the skin.
This advanced facial treatment stimulates muscle activity with very small electrical impulses which are sub-sensory in nature and mimic the electrical impulses already present in the cells of the body. This microcurrent stimulation acts as the stimulus which triggers responses from the cells which in turn tightens the skin and softens the wrinkles. To tone and sculpt, specific muscles in the face and neck are targeted for stimulation resulting in skin that is hydrated, lifted, firmer, softer and rejuvenated in appearance.
How is microcurrent used for cosmetic treatment and why is it so effective?
As we age, our body loses much of its natural electrical energy, much like a battery gradually losing its charge. On a cellular level, this leads to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin which leads to unevenness of texture and fine lines, wrinkles and folds become the inevitable result. Beneath the skin, the facial muscles become increasingly contracted over years of facial expression and gravity, allowing the overall lift of our face to decline.
Microcurrent therapy uses gentle electrical currents that mimic the body’s own electrical impulses, which helps to stimulate and increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), a molecule in the cell that stores and distributes energy for the activities in the cell. A study on Microcurrent Therapy conducted by Dr. Ngok Cheng, MD concluded that skin regeneration and ATP production increased by up to 500%. ATP helps with the activities of nerve transmission, muscle contraction, protein synthesis and enhancement of cell membrane permeability, increased cellular repair and it speeds up cellular metabolism which helps to increase the rate of toxin elimination. Virtually every activity of the body requires ATP. Microcurrent also enhances blood flow, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the tissue creating an ideal environment for healing as well as restoring homeostasis to the tissues and muscles. The end result of these processes can be seen as improved skin tone and coloration, the reduction of fine lines, and the firming of sagging areas.

Usage recommendations for a microcurrent face device
Please use in conjunction with a cream. It is recommended to use it no more than twice a day, for a maximum of 20 minutes each time. This facial massager is very gentle, and if you experience slight tingling, please don't worry, as it is a normal sensation.
How long does it take to see results from using a microcurrent facial massager?
Approximately 85% of consumers reported initial results after using a facial massager for one week, and significant improvements in the skin were observed after 8 weeks of consistent use. However, the exact time may vary from person to person.
