Microcurrent, or wave therapy, devices mimic the way the brain relays messages to the muscles.
The growing uses of microamperage electrical neuromuscular stimulation include healing muscles and wounds, controlling pain, and even fusing bones.
In the esthetics realm, microcurrent is used to relax muscles, strengthen, and tone them by stimulating motor nerves and muscle contractions.
The standard technique utilizes two handheld probes placed on facial muscle groups. A specific movement technique is used on all designated facial points. An ampoule may be applied under the contouring gel, or a conducting gel alone may be placed before beginning the treatment. The electrical current is regulated according to the skin’s resistance. For visible results, treatments are given once a week for at least 10 sessions.
We recommend treatments every four weeks to maintain benefits and results.
Many biological processes are associated with electrical impulses.
Facial skin tone and muscles are all related to this system. As we age, impulses slow down, causing the skin to sag. Muscles may not completely contract after use, such as in the case of sagging jowls (jaw muscles). The same effect can be seen on the rest of the body as well. That is why exercise and stretching are extremely important as one ages.
Microcurrent is thought to aid in the healing and repair of tissues and to influence metabolism.
It works gently and helps speed up the natural regenerative processes of the body when the correct intensity of current and frequency are used.
Firmer and healthier skin are expected treatment results. Microcurrent devices are designed to work in harmony with the natural bioelectrical currents found in the body.
In esthetics, microcurrent is used primarily to tone and stimulate facial muscles. Considered a passive form of exercise, this therapeutic technique helps stimulate motor nerves until a contraction of the muscles can be seen. Microcurrent has the ability to firm muscles and boost cellular activity. It improves blood and lymph circulation and can also assist with product absorption. In the past, faradic current has been used to stimulate motor nerves.
As with all electrical current devices, Microcurrent should not be used on clients with open wounds, muscular diseases, advanced diabetes, pacemakers, epilepsy, pregnancy, hemophilia, phlebitis, thrombosis; anyone currently under a healthcare provider’s care for a condition that may be contraindicated.
Typically recommended use of Microcurrent treatments with injectables: wait two weeks after the injection procedure.
