What Are Microcurrent Devices?

Microcurrent devices have been gaining popularity in the skincare industry for their ability to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin, whether in the clinic or at home. These handheld devices utilise low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles and improve the overall appearance of the skin, by boosting collagen production and firming and toning facial muscles.

How Does Microcurrent Technology Work?

Microcurrent technology involves the application of extremely low-level electrical currents, mimicking the body’s natural electrical impulses. These microcurrents are gentle and painless, working at a cellular level to stimulate collagen production, enhance blood circulation, and tighten facial muscles. Sounds simple, right? It is, hence the increasing popularity as an at-home facial tool.

The devices usually consist of two metal probes that emit the microcurrents when applied to the skin. They target specific facial areas, improving muscle tone and promoting a more lifted, youthful appearance. Combining with other at-home beauty tech trends, some devices also come with additional features like LED lights and sonic vibration.
