A microcurrent facial is a cosmetic treatment where a special handheld device is used to deliver tiny currents of electricity to the face. These microcurrents stimulate the skin and muscles with the aim of improving a person’s appearance.
Essentially, a microcurrent facial is like strength training for your skin. "It stimulates the facial muscles underneath the skin, which will help to improve the facial contour, tone the skin, and reduce wrinkles.
This innovative facial treatment uses a low level electrical current to "train" facial muscles, resulting in skin that looks more youthful. Electrical currents cause the facial muscles to contract, which trains them to sculpt the face.
