Microcurrent Therapy Procedure
Microcurrent therapy or microcurrent method
Microcurrent therapy or the method of microcurrents is the effect on skin cells and muscles with the help of an electric current of ultra-low frequencies. The impulsive current with which massage is carried out is similar to the electrical impulses of the human body. Due to this, it does not pose any danger to health, providing an exclusively positive effect.
The operating principle of the procedure is as follows.
The impulsive current acts on the cell membrane, which stimulates it to produce new cells. Thanks to stimulation, blood circulation improves and the amount of oxygen in the cells increases, the production of collagen and elastin increases.. Outwardly, this manifests itself in smoothing wrinkles and lightening dark circles, lifting the oval of the face, improving the color and tone of the skin.
Due to muscle contractions, stimulating effect on blood vessels and subcutaneous tissue, which leads to a local improvement in blood flow, enrichment of cells with oxygen, activation of cell regeneration. Metabolic processes, synthesis of lipids, enzymes and proteins are improved, toxins and toxins are removed. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, improves complexion. The skin becomes elastic and fresh. The method is actively used in anti-aging programs in order to reduce the severity of ptosis and the depth of wrinkles, revitalize complexion and provide effective lymphatic drainage.

This action is recommended for patients with a tendency to edema, pasty face, with a deformation type of aging, with hypertonicity of certain groups of facial muscles, with atonic and dull skin, including the so-called "smoker's skin".
Microcurrent therapy stimulates cellular regeneration and renewal of skin structures. Promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, the breakdown of old collagen. Due to this, the firmness and elasticity of the skin increases, its turgor is restored. Normalization of the functions of melanocytes responsible for the production of skin pigment allows you to even out complexion. The regulation of the sebaceous glands and the restoration of the pH of the skin significantly improve its quality.
