What is a microcurrent facial you ask?

It is a treatment that uses an electrical impulse to improve signs of ageing and tighten and rejuvenate skin. It is a skincare treatment that provides a natural lift. The procedure uses a device to stimulate your facial muscles. By using electricity with low voltage, collagen levels are boosted. The treatment is not only effective for wrinkles and fine lines, but also used to reduce inflammation and improve circulation. Electrical therapy is often used for wound healing.

How does microcurrent facial work?

This cosmetic treatment uses a small device with two electrodes at the end. They are used to deliver current that stimulates muscles and skin properly. When these muscles are vivified, the effect is a more tightened skin, lifted and with a rejuvenated aspect. Studies show electrical therapuy is ideal when you want to improve blood circulation. These benefits are also applied to skin aspect because the therapy makes it look healthier and plumped.

In unhealthy or damaged tissues this current is weak or absent. So, the Microcurrent offers a boost to kickstart the natural healing cycling

After a course of around 10 sessions the effects of a microcurrent facial are:

✔️ Boosts the production of ATP
