Looking to reverse the ageing process? Microcurrent facials may be the answer to your prayer. This novel technique is the new beauty treatment that has become a huge trend.
This procedure promotes cell growth in the skin by using electricity. "Microcurrent machines in facial aesthetic applications are used to ‘work out’ the muscles of the face, stimulate collagen, and tighten skin appearance,”Graceanne Svendsen, LE, CME, licensed aesthetician at Shafer Plastic Surgery and Laser Center, told a news portal. Adding, “Microcurrent uses low-voltage electricity to stimulate muscle, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cell growth, and collagen development in the dermis on the face.”
More importantly, it's an injection-free method that is noninvasive. "These treatments have immediate benefits with absolutely no recovery time,” Graceanne Svendsen told a news portal.
What's more, this form of treatment has actually been around for years. “Microcurrent has been around for decades, especially in physical therapy, so it is very safe, effective, and targeted,” Svendsen told a news portal.
However, the big question on everyone's mind is whether or not it is painful. "There is a gentle, zingy feeling — my not-so-technical term — and occasionally as the current is applied near the nerve attached to the muscle, it will jump,” Svendsen told a news portal. Adding, “This isn’t painful, it just feels ‘alive’. Most patients love the feeling since it makes them confident that something is happening and a connection has been made!”
Consult with a professional before you give it a try.
