Recently, scientists from the United States have developed a device that uses a procedure called "Microcurrent therapy." The effect of it is equated to a surgical lift, and the cost is several times lower. In addition, this cosmetic effect is pleasant to the skin and does not cause discomfort.
Microcurrent therapy - what is it?
To understand what the micro-current therapy is in cosmetology, what is its positive effect on the skin, is simple. If we consider this process in a simplified form, it will look like this - microcurrents of a certain frequency, adapt to the work of cells on their frequency, without violating the natural rhythm. This leads to an active renewal, the production of elastin and collagen, which are produced less and less with age, making the skin unattractive.
Before proceeding to the process itself, the skin is thoroughly cleaned, then a moisturizing agent is applied that penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis, but only after they start microcurrent therapy with the help of biotherapeutic equipment. For each customer, depending on the type of device, either disposable nozzles or stainless steel are used, which afterwards are thoroughly processed with quartz. There are two types of currents used: MENS - to affect muscle tissue and TENS to replenish collagen.
The procedure is carried out according to certain rules:
- First, the effect is directed to the lymphatic system, for drainage, that is, removal of the edema.
- After they start to solve the task directly; available stretch marks and wrinkles stretch, thereby training the muscles, leading them to tone.
- The same muscles that are unnecessarily tense - on the contrary relax.
- At the end of the procedure - again lymphatic drainage - movements directed from the periphery to the lymph nodes.
Microcurrent face therapy
The most popular field of application of microcurrent pulse therapy is the face area. The external effects of climatic conditions together with age-related changes make the skin more vulnerable, in contrast to those parts of the body that are always covered with clothing.

Microcurrent therapy under the eyes is very popular, thanks to which edema disappears, dark circles and bluish tide disappear.
