What is Microcurrent and What Are Its Benefits?
“What is microcurrent and what are its benefits?”
It’s a question we here at Moonstone Skin & Body Care field frequently!
With Janie having recently completed her blended in-person and online Bodicurrent training at Confidence of Char’s Confidence Academy for microcurrent specialists, we knew it was time to outline why we are so thrilled to be offering microcurrent treatments for both the face and the body.
Firstly, What Exactly is a Microcurrent Treatment?
A microcurrent facial is often hailed as a “non-surgical facelift” and, by some experts, “better than Botox!”
Having been around since the 1970s, in which it was first used as a treatment for Bell’s Palsy and other facial paralysis conditions, microcurrent facials work by tightening and smoothing both the muscles and connective tissues in the face via stimulating cellular activities. It achieves this by using low-voltage electricity to interact with the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cell growth.
What benefits does this activation of the ATP, muscles, and connective tissues in the face yield?
Stimulating collagen long-term with continued use
Tightening the skin’s appearance in order to improve laxity
Diminishing the look of wrinkles, particularly on the forehead
Think of microcurrent treatments as light exercises for your face to keep it smooth, toned, and youthful-looking.
How Does Bodicurrent Differ?
As you may have noticed, the question of “What is microcurrent and what are its benefits?” traditionally pertains to the facial region only.
However, Confidence By Char’s trademarked Bodicurrent microcurrent technology reinvents this.
Bodicurrent is the name of their proprietary body service, which utilizes microcurrent. Bodicurrent is 100% holistic, non-invasive, and, like traditional microcurrent treatments, requires no downtime (even when performed regularly.)
Microcurrent, in published studies, has been shown to increase ATP production in the body by up to 500% and is a vital component of a youthful regimen. Because microcurrent therapy sends low-level electrical currents into your skin that are nearly identical to the body’s own natural electrical frequencies, running currents over your body adds more electrons to your system, stimulating your body to repair more quickly, toning the skin, and improving cellular function. Bodicurrent can effectively be used on your abdomen, flanks, legs, and buttocks to yield these perks.
Other benefits of using Bodicurrent for body sculpting include:
Increased collagen and elastin, yielding more youthful-looking skin
Increased stamina, endurance, and strength of the muscles in your abdomen
Increased metabolism due to improving muscle mass
