MICROCURRENT FAQ

Microcurrent is a safe and non-invasive treatment for facial toning and contouring, offering a more natural solution than Botox, fillers or surgery. It has been used by doctors and physios for years to encourage faster healing of muscle tissue in patients, as well as in clinics and salons as a treatment to smooth the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles and lift + tighten the muscles in the face and neck.

Microcurrents are small pulses of electricity that stimulate the muscles to contract, strengthening and toning them, as well as enhancing the blood circulation within our skin cells and facial muscles. Think of this as strength training or a HIIT workout for your face, keeping it energised, boosting facial definition and radiance.

Small pulses of electrical current stimulate motor nerves, resulting in the contraction of muscles. This contraction strengthens and firms the muscles, as well as stimulating blood flow. Increasing the blood supply to the area not only brings more oxygen, but helps to remove waste. Microcurrent re-educates the muscles for longer lasting results.
