Microcurrent: Frequently Asked Questions

Microcurrent is not only a term, but also a technology that grew out of the expansive field of electophysiology. Modern medical science acknowledges multiple processes in the body that are electrical. Every cell in the body can be seen as an "electrical generator" which generates electrical currents. These currents are measured often by means of electrical activities in the skin (GRS), the brain (EEG), the heart (EKG), and the muscles (EMG). (Moss) Microcurrent technology works hand in hand with these currents. This technology recognizes the body as a self-healing organism and supports its many natural occurring functions. In turn, microcurrent achieves a variety of results in the many facets of youth, health and wellness.
Microcurrent uses a direct current that travels in a waveform. It is a current with extremely low amperage that operates optimally below the threshold of pain. It is operable only between 1 and 1000 micro-amps, and it is completely normal for people to feel next to nothing during microcurrent treatments.
The operator usually directs the current with electrodes and pads. Microcurrent is utilized worldwide to facilitate and promote healing, regenerate epithelial tissue, and rejuvenate muscle tissue.

No! Microcurrent feels wonderful! Stimulating the muscles both in the face and the body, it is very similar to a massage, yet treats your cellulite, tones your muscles, and increases blood circulation.

Most individuals will begin to see facial contour improvements immediately. Increasing results are visible throughout the set of sessions.
Microcurrent restores a youthful, vibrant glow, softens lines, and improves the contour of the face, and enlarged pores give way to a much smoother appearance. People often notice a minimizing of those little crow's feet, creepy eyelids, and sagging facial skin. It also increases the production of Amino Acids and ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate), both of which accelerate cell repair and promote healthier cell production. Progress is affected by your individual health, diet, lifestyle and sun exposure history. After your initial package, only a visit once a month is recommended to maintain.

Microcurrent is also well known for its circulatory benefits which promote as much as a 48% increase in natural elastin production, a 15% increase in natural collagen production, and blood circulation increases by 38%. This means a tighter, better looking silhouette, body contour, and suppleness of the skin.

The use of Microcurrent helps tone, lift, and re-educate the muscles back into their original, more youthful, position. As we age, our electrical impulses slow down and our skin loses its elasticity, muscle strength, suppleness and snap. The use of gentle microcurrent stimulation triggers the body's natural skin enhancement chemicals at a cellular level. Because the level of microcurrent delivered mirrors your own body's natural electrical impulses, your skin and muscle tissue respond very quickly, resulting in firmer muscles and well hydrated skin overall.

Cellulite affects 85% of all women at some point in their lives. Cellulite is a tissue condition that causes the elastin fibers to become bound just beneath the dermis. This creates pockets of toxins, fluid and fat beneath the skin's surface, causing a dimpled appearance. Some explain this condition as being caused by fatty foods, sedentary lifestyles and an overly toxic system. Many doctors, however, tend to explain cellulite as a normal condition of the skin either from heredity or which accompanies aging and hormonal fluctuations. To combat this common condition, you must have a clear understanding of what cellulite is, and you must be willing to make a firm commitment to consistent body care. Microcurrent helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.

This procedure cannot physically remove cellulite because it's located on the top 1/2 centimeter of the skin. Physicians cannot liposuction into this area because they would risk destroying the blood supply to the skin's surface. There is no way to permanently remove cellulite from women who have this condition, as you cannot change something that is normal; however, you can treat and manage the reduction of the cellulite you currently have. Achieving a smoother appearance is within reach by using microcurrent treatments, which will give you healthier skin and body function, and improve your ability to respond more quickly as treatments progress.

Using microcurrent for cellulite reduction acts as a flush to the body's lymphatic system, removing unwanted wastes as well as offering other benefits to the patient. The feather-like microcurrents cause healthy electrical charges at the cellular level, which increase cellular activity. This enhanced cellular activity causes a 500% increase in ATP production, the body's own chemical energy. It also causes cells to dump old stored toxins into the bloodstream, which may have been accumulating for years. These toxins will eventually be processed by the liver and removed from the body by its own elimination system. Fifteen minutes of microcurrent releases as many toxins as two hours of deep tissue massage. Patients will notice that their skin becomes finer textured and regains a fresh, healthy glow, therefore diminishing the orange-peel appearance.
