What is microcurrent therapy

Since the advent of electricity in human life, its scope has been constantly expanding. It is used in almost all areas of our lives.

It is known that electric current was first successfully used in medicine, and then in cosmetology. In medical practice, electric current with various parameters can cure many diseases, relieve pain symptoms, and provoke cell activity and biochemical processes in them.

Electrotherapy uses high and low voltage current. Exposure to high voltage electricity is called darsonvalization, and low or low voltage is called microcurrent therapy.

The main purpose of microcurrents in medicine is pain relief, pain relief and physiotherapy. There are two known areas of microcurrent therapy:

1. MENS - neuromuscular effects
2. TENS - transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.

In cosmetology, microcurrents have found application as one of the methods of hardware rejuvenation. For this purpose, microcurrents are used with a current strength in the range of 10-600 μA, with a voltage of 10-14 V and different frequencies from 0.1 to 300 Hz. These indicators have a soft and non-traumatic impulse effect on all layers of the epidermis, muscle layers, nerve endings and blood vessels, as well as subcutaneous tissue.

As a result of the influence of microcurrents on cells, biochemical processes in them are activated, lymphatic drainage improves, collagen production is stimulated, and vascular walls are strengthened. Externally, the condition of the skin improves, wrinkles tighten, swelling and unevenness disappear.

There are microcurrent therapy for the face and body. On the body, microcurrents are used in the décolleté, neck, abdomen, buttocks, and arms.

Indications for microcurrent therapy:

Microcurrent therapy is used for the following indications:

1. weak muscle tone;
2. sagging skin;
3. bags and circles under the eyes;
4. “double chin” and unclear facial contours;
5. sagging and cellulite;
6. skin pigmentation;
7. acne of a non-infectious and fungal nature;
8. lifting and prevention of wrinkles;
9. recovery after facial plastic surgery and preoperative preparation;
10. scars and skin irregularities;
11. rosacea;
12. baldness;
13. care for oily and dry skin.

The effect of microcurrent therapy:

1. cell regeneration and restoration;
2. improving muscle tone or relaxing tense muscles;
3. activation of biochemical processes in cells;
4. improving the outflow of blood and lymph;
5. lifting;

Contraindications

Microcurrent therapy is not performed if:

1. pregnancy and breastfeeding;
2. oncological diseases;
3. epilepsy and mental disorders;
4. blood vessel diseases;
5. infectious and fungal skin lesions;
6. cardio and electrical stimulators;
7. implants;
8. face lifts with gold or platinum threads.

Microcurrents are used with caution in cases of heart attack and stroke, severe forms of diseases and diseases in the acute stage, in the presence of metal fillings and metal-ceramic teeth. After undergoing surgery, the possibility of using microcurrents occurs after at least six months.

Also a contraindication is individual intolerance to electric current.

How is the procedure performed?

Before starting the procedure, a consultation with a specialist is required to determine the presence of contraindications and identify the area affected by microcurrents.

Microcurrent therapy sessions are best carried out in a special clinic or beauty salon.

Then makeup removal is carried out, and a special conductive gel is applied to the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is performed in several ways:

1. Electrodes are attached to the microcurrent application area. As a rule, this method is convenient for large areas of skin.
2. The influence of microcurrents is carried out using movable electrodes. Movements of the electrodes are carried out in specified directions. The movable electrodes themselves are special disposable sticks.
3. Massage with conductive gloves. This method is considered the most effective.

After the procedure, the conductive agent is removed and a cream or mask is applied.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in a course. The session lasts approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour. The result is visible immediately after the first procedure and accumulates with each session. The duration of the course and the frequency of sessions will depend on the condition of the skin and the results achieved.

For maximum effect, a set of procedures is being developed, including microcurrent therapy in combination with other hardware, caring procedures and home care products.

Types of microcurrent therapy

Depending on the problem of the skin of the face and body, one of the types of microcurrent therapy can be used or in combination:

1. microcurrent lymphatic drainage - aimed at getting rid of excess fluid in tissues and distributing it evenly. Used on the face and body. Helps get rid of swelling, smooth the skin, and even out the skin.
2. microcurrent face and neck lifting - for tightened and smooth skin.
3. disincrustation or galvanic cleaning — the procedure is carried out for deep cleaning of pores from sebaceous secretions, toxins and impurities using alkaline solutions and galvanic current. Suitable for very sensitive skin and finely porous skin.
4. non-injection mesotherapy or electroporation - a method that uses electric current instead of a needle, affecting the ionic bonds of the epidermis. Thanks to this method, the skin is tightened, protein metabolism in cells is activated, and expression wrinkles , evens out skin tone and gets rid of enlarged pores, scars, acne and pigmentation.
5. reprogramming of facial muscles of the face and neck or myostimulation - allows you to influence muscles, relaxing them or tensing them. This helps eliminate or minimize facial wrinkles.

Recommendations for microcurrent treatment

Microcurrent therapy is suitable for any age and gender, subject to contraindications. During the course of microcurrent therapy, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids, abstain from caffeine and nicotine, and alcohol.

Consolidation procedures (1-2 times) include sessions a month or a month and a half after completing the course.

Benefits of Microcurrent Therapy

This method of hardware cosmetology has the following advantages:

1. painlessness of the procedure;
2. quick results;
3. seamless rejuvenation;
4. complex impact;
5. wide range of indications;
6. enhancing the effect of other cosmetic procedures and compatibility with them;
7. safety.

Disadvantages of microcurrent therapy

The disadvantages of this technique are the presence of a large number of absolute contraindications, the relative high cost and complexity of conducting microcurrent therapy at home.

Duration of effect and age categories

The achieved results from microcurrents can last for six months. There is a direct dependence of the durability of the effect on the condition of the skin, age and course of procedures.

Age categories of microcurrent therapy

1. Up to 30 years - microcurrents are used as prophylaxis, the course of procedures is short.
2. From 30 to 40 years old - the beginning of age-related changes and the course consists of an average of 5-6 procedures once a week.
3. 40-50 years - the age category for active restoration of age-related changes - the course is 8-12 procedures every 3 days.
4. After 50 years - from 10-12 procedures with a weekly course every 1-2 days.

Combination of microcurrents with injections

Beauty injections can activate positive skin changes in combination with microcurrents. Along with this, microcurrent therapy requires caution with various injection methods of rejuvenation. It is recommended to use microcurrents approximately two weeks after injections.

Combination with other cosmetic procedures

Microcurrents perfectly complement and complement a number of cosmetic procedures:

1. alginate masks;
2. ELOS rejuvenation and other hardware procedures;
3. any care procedures - cleaning, masks, etc.
4. before and after plastic surgery.

Possible side effects and complications

Side effects include mild tingling during the procedure, which is considered within normal limits. This can also include a metallic taste in the mouth, bright flashes when exposed to the area around the eyes. Such manifestations are considered minor side effects and are within normal limits.

Possible complications arise from individual intolerance to electric current or failure to comply with contraindications. This also includes incorrect execution of the procedure and insufficient qualifications of the specialist.

Analogues of the procedure

Similar procedures to microcurrent therapy are biostimulation and electrical stimulation. These procedures are carried out only in specialized clinics by highly qualified specialists.

1. Biostimulation is aimed at influencing tissue, muscles and blood vessels with electric current. Current of different frequencies and to different depths of influence are used.
2. Electrical stimulation uses bipolar and pulsed currents to target specific facial areas.

Microcurrent therapy at home

Microcurrents can be used for rejuvenation at home. To do this, you need to purchase special portable equipment and become familiar with the features of the procedure and contraindications. The effect of procedures at home will be less pronounced or will take a longer course due to the characteristics of the equipment.

Experts still recommend preferring microcurrent therapy in a clinic or salon under the supervision of a cosmetologist. At the same time, the modern equipment market offers many new products in hardware cosmetology at home. Such equipment does not require complex maintenance, is completely safe and flexible in use.

The life of a modern woman is very busy, full of troubles and worries, which negatively affects the condition of her skin. But modern hardware cosmetology does not stand still, but adopts the best achievements of related fields of medicine. This is how the procedure came about microcurrent facial therapy, allowing the fair sex to look younger without sacrificing their own health.

What is microcurrent therapy and what is its essence?

Microcurrent therapy (MTT, microcurrents) is a physiotherapeutic procedure that involves influencing the face, body, muscle mass and blood circulation using low-voltage, low-voltage electric currents of different frequencies. They are able to penetrate cells without damaging their membranes and activate various biochemical processes there.

This happens due to the effect on the membrane of electricity supplied in short pulses. As a result, intracellular metabolism improves (transport of amino acids, production of AIF), blood circulation in tissues, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and normalizes the functioning of fibroblasts that promote the production of their own collagen and elastin.

Microcurrents trigger the process of deep self-healing of the skin at the level of the epidermis and dermis, and resume the functioning of various tissues. This helps to rejuvenate the skin from the inside, regenerate its structure, increase tone, and improve color.

Thanks to low-frequency impulses, the active components of medicinal/cosmetic products penetrate deep into the skin structure, and the effect of their influence is enhanced and retained for a long time. Therefore, neuromuscular stimulation with microcurrents is a component of programs for the correction of age-related changes, therapeutic and rehabilitation complexes for the face, body, and scalp.

What problems does microcurrent therapy help with?

This procedure is recommended for the following indications:

1. unhealthy complexion (pallor, yellowness, cyanosis, lack of blush);
2. swelling (bags under the eyes);
3. the appearance of wrinkles;
4. withering (atonicity) of the breast;
5. drooping (ptosis) of the soft tissues of the cheeks, chin, appearance of “bulldog cheeks”;
6. stretch marks, fresh scars;
7. rosacea (rosacea at the initial stage);
8. excessive secretion of sebum (seborrhea);
9. the appearance of pigment spots;
10. cellulite;
11. excessive hair loss, alopecia.

Also, microcurrents are used to prevent skin aging, early appearance of wrinkles, as a general strengthening agent after cosmetic procedures, to eliminate swelling, prevent lymph stagnation, and rapid healing of scars after plastic surgery.

Safety and pain of the procedure

Microcurrent therapy is a method of rejuvenation without harm to health, since the effect on the human body is carried out by natural factors. The procedure does not involve the use of high temperatures or trauma to the skin. It is comfortable and even causes pleasant sensations, which helps the client relax and improve the result.

Sometimes during exposure to microcurrents, the skin may feel a slight tingling or redness may be observed at the sites of contact with the electrodes. The reason for this is most often the low pain threshold and sensitivity of the client’s skin. The problem can be solved by consulting a dermatologist and selecting a suitable treatment regimen.

Contraindications

Although MTT is a safe procedure, it has a number of absolute contraindications for use, these are:

1. epilepsy;
2. cardio- and vascular diseases;
3. history of heart attack/stroke;
4. oncology;
5. acute viral infection, inflammation or chronic disease during an exacerbation period;
6. rheumatic diseases;
7. pregnancy, lactation;
8. the presence in the client’s body of electrical devices (for example, a pacemaker), metal rods, plates, gold threads that are used to tighten the skin;
9. postoperative condition (if less than 6 months have passed since surgery);
10. injury to the skin with a violation of its integrity in the affected area;
11. individual intolerance to electric current.

A relative contraindication to MTT is the presence of metal or metal-ceramic fillings, braces, and a tendency to form herpes. In this case, the cosmetologist must act carefully, choose the right regimen, and avoid the “problem” area. Also, you cannot generate impulses near the carotid artery, moles, or eyeball.

Microcurrents should be carried out as prescribed by a cosmetologist! During the procedure, no complications should arise, provided that the client is properly examined by a health professional to ensure that he has no contraindications.

Microcurrent therapy device

The modern market of medical and cosmetic equipment offers devices for microcurrent facial therapy from different manufacturers. Among them are:

1. Devices for massage.
2. Universal installations that allow, in addition to exposure to electric currents, myostimulation and vibration massage.

MTT devices are available for professional and home use. Compact devices that can easily fit even into a cosmetic bag are suitable for independent use.

Is preliminary preparation necessary before the procedures?

There is no need to prepare in advance for the procedure. To prepare the skin for exposure to microcurrents and improve their effect, a cosmetologist cleanses the skin in the office.

Technique of the procedure

The procedure is carried out in several stages:

1. The specialist rids the client’s skin of impurities. If facial skin is treated, make-up removal, washing with a special product, and scrubbing are done.
2. A gel is applied to the treatment area, which acts as a conductor of current, facilitating deeper and more accurate penetration of impulses.
3. Exposure to a device that generates electric current in pulses. For this, 3 types of electrodes are used:

1. stationary - cone-shaped and occupying a fixed position;
2. movable - equipped with disposable cotton swabs, used to treat sensitive areas (around the eyes, mouth);
3. in the form of gloves - comfortable and functional, with their help you can perform facial massage with microcurrents.

Upon completion, the cosmetologist applies a special cream.

The duration of treatment of the cover depends on its area. For the face and décolleté, 20 minutes is enough; if the area is large or the problems are very pronounced, it will take about 40 minutes.

The type of electrodes and the intensity of their impact on the skin are selected by a specialist individually, taking into account the client’s physiological data and skin reaction.

Advantages and disadvantages

The microcurrent therapy procedure for the face and body has the following advantages:

1. is painless, safe;
2. does not damage the skin;
3. gives a long-lasting effect;
4. does not require restoration.

Among its disadvantages, one can only note a fairly large list of contraindications and the need for repetition, but this is typical for most cosmetic procedures.

Before and after the full course

What results should I expect and when?

The use of microcurrents allows:

1. remove excess fluid and toxic accumulations from the body;
2. renew the skin by stimulating the basal layer of the epidermis;
3. increase elasticity and skin tone by stimulating fibroblasts that produce collagen and elastin;
4. activate metabolic processes in cells, improve blood supply to tissues;
5. level out small wrinkles, smooth out deep ones;
6. eliminate puffiness, bags and dark circles under the eyes.

The effect of MTT is noticeable after the first exposure. After each subsequent session it increases. Visible changes are observed after 5-6 procedures. After completing the course, the result lasts up to 1 year, but to make it more noticeable, experts recommend performing intermediate maintenance procedures 1 ruble/2-3 months.

The duration of the effect is influenced by a number of factors:

1. Lifestyle. Constant smoking, stress, overeating, excessive consumption of sweets, lack of sleep, and lack of water in the body have a negative effect on the skin.
2. Diseases occurring in acute and chronic forms.
3. Daily care, taking vitamin complexes and minerals.

Before and after the full course

How many procedures are needed?

The number of microcurrent therapy sessions is prescribed individually by the doctor, based on the client’s skin condition. The primary course consists of 8-12 procedures, carried out every 1-2 days. In difficult cases, their number can increase to 15. After this, take a break for 4-6 months. If the client does not perform maintenance procedures during this time, it is recommended to repeat the course.

If there are no serious indications for microcurrents and you want to improve the condition of your skin (increase tone, refresh your complexion), you can do a single procedure.

Price

The price of MTT depends on the area of ​​influence, the chosen mode, duration of exposure, consumables, and location. So, in Moscow, the cost of processing one area is from 1000 rubles, in the regions - from 500-700. In Kyiv, the cost of the procedure is about 250 UAH. for 20 minutes, 450 UAH. in 40 minutes

Are there any complications?

The MTT procedure does not threaten human health, but during its implementation individual side effects may be observed, such as:

1. slight tingling/tingling;
2. metallic taste in the mouth;
3. flashes of light or dots before the eyes.

This is a normal reaction of the body associated with its hypersensitivity, which passes over time.

Complications after the procedure can only occur if:

1. its incorrect implementation;
2. the client has contraindications or an allergic reaction to a certain drug.

Microcurrent facial therapy is not a panacea for various skin problems, but when used correctly, it can significantly improve the condition of the skin, restore it from the inside, and provide a woman with a healthy, radiant appearance.

Reviews

I started microcurrent because I was worried about bags under my eyes. The doctor immediately warned me that this could be a consequence of problems in the body, but I decided to try. I saw the result after 4 procedures. At the end of the course, the bags not only disappeared, but also small wrinkles around the eyes smoothed out and the skin tightened. I would like to consolidate this effect, so I will definitely do these procedures in the future.

Microcurrents have become a real salvation for me. Due to frequent business trips, I looked tired, and it was not possible to go to salons. A cosmetologist friend advised me to buy a device for home use and taught me how to use it. I read a lot of reviews about this procedure, but still decided to test it for myself and was satisfied. Now I always look fresh before an important meeting. Of course, you shouldn’t think that microcurrents will solve all skin problems, nor should you expect quick results, but they significantly increase the effectiveness of my home care.

Cosmetology is developing rapidly, offering new methods for improving the condition of facial skin. Unfortunately, most of them are very painful and can also have unpleasant consequences. But still, there are several absolutely non-traumatic, pain-free and at the same time effective procedures aimed at rejuvenating and improving the condition of facial skin. One of them is microcurrent therapy, during which non-invasive effects are applied to the skin. This means that the epidermis is not damaged by needles or any other devices, and the integrity of the tissue is not compromised. However, this does not in any way detract from the effect of the procedure.

What is microcurrent facial therapy

Microcurrent therapy is a unique non-invasive method of influencing skin cells, blood vessels and facial muscles with low-frequency pulsed current. The procedure is carried out with a special device with electrodes connected to it. They are conductors of impulses. The electrodes need to be applied to the problem area, after which a massage is performed with their help.

Microcurrents combine well with other cosmetic procedures. Even a facelift with threads (with the exception of gold and platinum) and Botox injections are not a contraindication to hardware effects on the skin. But still, some women note that after microcurrents, the effect of Botox disappears very quickly, so it is better not to touch the injection areas during the procedure.

Microcurrents have a wide spectrum of action:

1. improve blood circulation and lymph flow in tissues. Thanks to this, swelling disappears from the face, the skin becomes smoother, the complexion is evened out, and the pores are narrowed;
2. accelerate cellular metabolism, enhance regeneration. As a result, tissue renewal occurs much faster, and a lifting effect occurs;
3. normalize muscle tone, remove tension - this helps eliminate facial wrinkles;
4. accelerate the production of collagen and elastin, ultimately starting the process of self-rejuvenation;
5. promote the removal of toxins, which is very important for comprehensive facial skin rejuvenation.

Indications for microcurrent therapy:

1. prevention of facial skin aging;
2. expression wrinkles;
3. swelling of the face;
4. bags and dark circles under the eyes;
5. sagging skin;
6. skin texture defects, including post-acne, scars, enlarged pores;
7. acne;
8. pigmentation.

Despite the fact that the procedure is considered absolutely safe, it still has some contraindications:

1. pregnancy;
2. installed implants;
3. cardiac and electrical stimulators;
4. epilepsy;
5. oncology;
6. blood vessel diseases.

Types of procedure

There are several types of microcurrent therapy. Professional devices installed in salons and clinics allow clients to offer one or more procedures to choose from:

1. Microcurrent lifting. Thanks to the procedure, the facial skin becomes more elastic and the oval of the face becomes clearer. Metabolic processes in skin and muscle cells are accelerated, wrinkles are smoothed out.
2. Reprogramming of facial muscles. In this case, microcurrents primarily affect the facial muscles, removing excess tone. This leads to the elimination of facial wrinkles and the prevention of their further appearance. Those who have already experienced this procedure note that the effect is equivalent to the effect of a Botox injection. Microcurrents have an undeniable advantage, because they do not interfere with the activity of facial muscles.
3. Microcurrent lymphatic drainage. Aimed at eliminating edema. Accelerates blood and lymph flow in facial tissues. Removes excess fluid and toxins. Eliminates bags under the eyes.
4. Disincrustation. This is a cleansing procedure designed for problematic skin with enlarged pores. First, the skin is covered with special preparations that dissolve the contents of the pores, and then they are cleaned using microcurrents. In addition to cleaning, disincrustation allows you to close pores and even out the surface of the skin.
5. Ionic mesotherapy. The most effective microcurrent procedure. With its help, you can solve the problem of pigmentation, swelling, and scars on the surface of the skin. Effective for tightening pores. Among other things, ionic mesotherapy increases the permeability of the skin, making it more receptive to the substances used during the procedure.

Devices intended for home procedures are less functional, so before purchasing, you need to carefully read the instructions and make sure that the desired microcurrent procedure can really be carried out using the selected device.

How does the procedure work?

The procedure for applying microcurrents to the face includes several stages:

1. Preparatory stage. Microcurrents, unlike some other cosmetic procedures, do not require prior preparation. However, a couple of days before the session, you can do a light enzymatic (superficial) peeling, after which the cosmetics used during microcurrent exposure will better penetrate the skin. It is recommended to drink a lot directly on the day of the procedure. This will help remove toxins from the skin.
2. Makeup removal and skin cleansing using a special product.
3. Application of contact gel. Microcurrent sessions are not performed on dry skin. The product is selected taking into account existing skin problems. For example, for desincrustation there is a special anti-acne gel, for lifting there is an anti-wrinkle gel, etc.
4. Impact on the skin with electrodes. Most often it is carried out in several stages. As a rule, the procedure begins with microcurrent lymphatic drainage. The electrodes move along the lymph outflow lines. Lymphatic drainage is performed not only on the face. The treatment must begin from the neck area to ensure free flow of lymph from the face.
5. Lymphatic drainage is usually followed by microcurrent lifting, during which the electrodes move closer and further away from each other.
6. The next stage is the impact on the facial muscles, after which the procedure ends with repeated stimulation of the lymph outflow lines. In total, a microcurrent therapy session lasts about 40 minutes. Each stage requires separate device settings: different current strength and pulse frequency are set.
7. Removing contact gel residues.

The full course consists of 10-15 procedures, which must be done at intervals of 2-4 days.

Microcurrents at home

Nowadays, hardware cosmetology has become accessible to any woman, even if she does not want to visit a salon. There are devices on sale that are designed specifically for home use. However, when purchasing such a device, you need to be extremely careful in studying its characteristics, since the strength of its impact may turn out to be so weak that there will be no effect from the procedures. In good devices, the current strength should be adjusted in the range of 20-800 µA.

The main rule: lymphatic drainage should be carried out along the lines of lymph outflow, while other procedures should be carried out along ordinary massage lines.

The procedure itself is carried out exactly the same as in the salon: cleansing the skin, applying contact gel, and applying microcurrents to the skin, which begins with lymphatic drainage. Gels for hardware cosmetic procedures can be purchased in specialized stores, including online stores. Each microcurrent therapy device is accompanied by instructions that contain recommendations for the procedure, which may include schemes for influencing different areas of the face.

It is very convenient to massage your face using special microcurrent gloves. This allows you to combine hardware effects with facial massage. However, not all equipment intended for home use allows you to use this function. When purchasing a device, you need to make sure that the manufacturer has provided the ability to connect not only ordinary electrodes to it, but also glove electrodes.

Oh yes, I remember all my feelings after the first course in my life)... How the nasolabial muscles gradually went away. How the washboard on my forehead was ironed, how the periorbial hernias tightened, how I wanted more and more not to part with the mirror, how I even tried to throw out my foundations). At first, when you apply the care cream, it even refuses to be absorbed - it’s as if the skin is completely full). Everything is smooth, pleasant to the touch, the pores are tightened, the oval of the face is clear. Such a multifaceted effect from the procedure lasts for about a couple of weeks. Then you need to repeat. After a planned 7-10 day course (I do it twice a year: in the spring and in the fall, and in the fall - with alternating courses of peelings), the skin retains its tone longer - i.e. for about 2 months now. You don't have to do anything with your face. Then go for a maintenance procedure. In general, microcurrents have a fairly wide range of applications, not only rejuvenation. You can use them to smooth out scars (a cesarean scar is waiting in the wings), correct post-acne, treat seborrhea, cellulite, and use it as a rehabilitation method after chemical peeling, plastic surgery, microdermabrasion and other procedures. The condition of the skin does not become worse over time, there is no addiction. It’s just that over time, if you forget about supporting procedures, everything returns to normal... and in contrast to what the procedure gave you, what is given by nature begins to make you very unhappy. Hence the rumors that, they say, the skin has become worse than it was BEFORE, the cells do not work, they have become lazy, and so on/all sorts/miscellaneous/surprisingly dense….

Over time, age-related changes appear more and more clearly on a woman’s face: swelling, wrinkles, etc. All this makes us wonder how to deal with it. Creams, gels, foams do not give such an effect, so you start looking for something more effective and efficient, various salon procedures. I didn’t consider too radical options, and so I settled on microcurrents. The procedure is painless, requires repetition, the course is about 10 procedures. This procedure is done every other day. I alternated it with a regular facial massage. The cost of one procedure is 500 rubles. The time of one procedure is 40 minutes. It all starts with makeup removal, a special gel or cream is applied, then the cosmetologist begins to move two thin metal knitting needles over the face, connecting them during the procedure. More precisely, they are similar to them, as it may seem to the average person. These two tubes are connected to the machine. After microcurrents are applied to the skin, along the way you begin to feel a pleasant warmth begin to spread across the skin of your face. According to the cosmetologist, this is a good sign, the skin is reacting. After the procedure is completed, the cosmetologist applies a special serum to the face, which nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Changes are visible already after the 3rd or 4th procedure, the oval of the face becomes clearer, the face is thinner, the complexion is fresher, swelling goes away. I am very pleased with the result, because I believe that you should not immediately resort to radical measures, but should start small.

The most obvious advantage of the procedure is that it is non-injection! Its other obvious ADVANTAGES:

— pronounced face lifting;

— restoration of skin microcirculation at the cellular level, improvement of metabolism;

— restoration of damaged cells and integuments;

Microcurrents support all layers of the skin - epidermis and dermis, as well as blood vessels and muscles, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin. This leads to the smoothing of wrinkles and folds on the skin, and has an anti-inflammatory and vasodilating effect. Microcurrents also reduce puffiness and help the skin remove toxins. The number of sessions is determined by a specialist depending on the age and condition of your skin. A procedure of 10 sessions every day or every other day is usually recommended. And then a maintenance procedure once a week or 2 weeks. But this is all at the discretion of your cosmetologist. Personally, I usually do a course of 10 procedures every other day. Semiannually. Or I alternate it with a facial massage, also in such an intensive course. That is, once every six months I have a massage, and then microcurrents the following months. I usually do it in the off-season. The duration of the procedure is approximately 20–30 minutes, but this is also individual. I have already seen the effect of such a procedure 3 times. It is cumulative, so it is recommended to carry it out in sessions. The skin becomes smooth, the pores narrow, it is clear that the skin is nourished from the inside and less skin care creams need to be applied at home, because the skin has “eaten well” during the procedure. The effect lasts after a course of 10 sessions for 1 month, then maintenance procedures are needed.

Recently I began to notice that the skin on my face looked somewhat flabby, and unsightly bags had formed under my eyes. I understand that this is due to stress and lack of sleep, but, unfortunately, I cannot correct the surrounding situation, so I had to turn to hardware cosmetology for help. I decided to try the vaunted microcurrents. The first thing I liked was how painless the procedure was. I felt practically nothing. And secondly, a great result. After completing the full course (I needed 8 procedures in total), the result is very noticeable. A competent cosmetologist + a good device is a clear success. In general, the result of my course was complete elimination of bags under the eyes, noticeable tightening of the skin (the effect is like lifting). My face acquired tone, I began to look healthier and less tired.

Deep wrinkles have not completely disappeared, but small ones have gone away, and the skin has become nourished and pleasant to the touch; as a bonus, after the procedure, bags under the eyes disappear and blueness decreases. The procedure itself is pleasant, you can sleep, there are no sensations and there shouldn’t be! Especially unpleasant ones. By the way, the device also allows for a facelift, which is aimed at strengthening the muscles, especially good for those who already have a sagging oval, drooping eyelids, jowls, strands...))). It’s too early for me, and I have strong muscles, thank fitness! Microcurrent is an excellent choice for those who want to achieve rejuvenation without undergoing injection procedures or plastic surgery! The only negative is that it takes time, of course, the injection was given and it went away, the result was in a week. But here you need almost a month, and after six months you need to repeat the course. You can go for a maintenance procedure once a month! I will continue this procedure... I definitely recommend it!

Microcurrent therapy has proven itself to be an effective procedure that allows you to cope with not very deep wrinkles, bags under the eyes, as well as other skin imperfections. You can find many positive reviews about this method on the Internet. Its main advantage is safety. However, you need to understand that miracles do not happen, and the skin cannot smooth out before your eyes after the first procedure. Many women, forgetting about this, tend to expect just such an effect. In order to get your skin in order, you will need several sessions of microcurrents. In addition, do not forget that nutrition, regimen and habits have a primary impact on appearance and can negate the effect of any, even a very good cosmetic procedure. Therefore, in order to achieve positive results, you will need to take a comprehensive approach to the problem, show dedication and patience.
