What is Microcurrent? Is it the same as radio frequency?
Microcurrent is a technology that uses very low voltage electricity to stimulate facial muscles, causing them to contract and tighten. Since its discovery by two German scientists who won the 1991 Nobel Prize in Medicine, this technology has been used to successfully treat scars, bone fractures, pain, among other conditions.
This treatment increases the growth and activity of skin cells, thus promoting the synthesis of structural proteins such as collagen, the results are luminosity of the complexion, greater skin density and more smoothness. Therefore, it is a fast, safe and effective way to rejuvenate the face and other areas such as the neck from the first session.
Microcurrent therapy should not be confused with another facial rejuvenation technique such as radiofrequency. What is the difference between microcurrent and radio frequency? While the first involves very low-intensity electrical impulses, radiofrequency uses heat induction technology to the lowest layers of the skin to cause an immediate retraction effect.
How does microcurrent work to rejuvenate the face?
As we age, ATP production in facial muscles decreases. ATP is the molecule responsible for producing the chemical energy that keeps muscles firm. By decreasing its production, drooping cheeks and eye area may appear, as well as flaccid jowls.
Well, microcurrent mimics the bioelectric currents in the body that are used by the muscles. Therefore, using it properly activates the production of ATP, which in turn activates the cells, promotes the production of new collagen and elastin and energizes the muscles, achieving a revitalized and firmer surface.
When performing microcurrent therapy, the muscle is charged with energy. This makes it possible to move them back to their original positions once the treatment is over. In fact, the entire process is called muscle re-education and manages to give the face its natural youthful firmness.
