Microcurrent face lifting - what is it, benefits and effects

What are microcurrents and how do they act on facial skin?

Microcurrents for the face are weak pulsed currents, similar to the electrical impulses of the human body. They are generated by special devices.

The impulses have an effect on the cells of the skin, muscles and subcutaneous fat, thereby improving blood microcirculation and accelerating metabolic processes. This allows you to rejuvenate the skin.

Microcurrents affect subcutaneous adipose tissue, the vascular system and muscles. As a result, cellular regeneration is activated, the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen is enhanced.

The impulses change the lining of blood vessels, increase its tone, but reduce permeability. Thanks to this, the outflow of lymph increases, which means that toxins and metabolic products are removed from the cells much faster.

What is microcurrent therapy and how it works

The essence of microcurrent facial therapy is the slight influence of electricity on the epidermis from the inside, provoking an increase in the amount of chemicals at the cellular level. Clinical analysis data show that after completing the full course of procedures, collagen production increases by 16%, blood circulation increases by 41%, and elastin increases by 52%. European experts claim that when microcurrents are used for the purpose of face lifting, the body begins to produce additional amino acids, and they, in turn, affect the acceleration of the cellular restoration process.

Simply put, you can now make your face look younger without resorting to plastic surgery. Another pleasant fact is that the effects of microcurrent facial therapy appear immediately after the first procedure.

Microcurrents affect the epidermis from several sides at once. With the help of cell activation, cell division occurs much faster. The result of this is accelerated skin renewal. To make it clearer, the old layer of skin is replaced by a new one. Stimulation of capillaries and blood vessels occurs, increasing blood circulation and accelerating lymphatic movement. As a result, the face is saturated with oxygen. In addition, treatment leads to the resorption of many stagnant processes in the epidermis. The effectiveness of using the cream increases, the procedure promotes better absorption of its components. Microcurrent therapy serves as an energy boost for the face.

Indications for use

Microcurrents in cosmetology are recommended for aging and very dry skin. Sessions are recommended for swelling of the face, as well as painful conditions:

• Dermatosis;
• Atopic dermatitis;
• Couperose;
• Rosacea;
• Acne.

Indications for the use of microcurrents may include:

• Pigmentation;
• Earthy skin color;
• Damage to the vessels of the epidermis;
• Expression wrinkles;
• Stretch marks and scars;
• Increased muscle tone.

In addition, this hardware cosmetology technique is used in preparation for plastic surgery and after it for rehabilitation.

Microcurrents: lifting effect

This is one of the softest and, at the same time, effective procedures in cosmetology. Ultra-low currents pass through damaged cells of the body, which promotes their restoration and regeneration.

The lifting effect of this procedure allows you to:

• tighten the oval of the face;
• restore the natural production of collagen and elastin.

Therapy can be carried out in different modes: from soothing and anti-inflammatory to stimulating (for the purpose of rejuvenation), relieving swelling, inflammation, correcting wrinkles, folds and creases.

In our clinic, the procedure is performed using a high-quality modern device “Bio-Ultimate® Gold”, manufactured in the USA. Both a manual mode for individual program selection and several standard programs designed to solve specific problems are used.

It can also be performed in combination with other facial procedures. When using special cosmetics, the result is enhanced.

This is one of the few techniques that allows you to work directly with moving eyelids in order to lift the upper eyelid, eliminate local swelling, and reduce dark circles under the eyes.

It is also one of the best preparatory operations for invasive interventions (plastic surgery, laser resurfacing, etc.) and rehabilitation after them; it can be used in the first days after plastic surgery and accelerates the regeneration process.

Contraindications

Myostimulation is non-invasive, but there are still contraindications. This primarily concerns women during pregnancy and nursing mothers.

You need to give up microcurrents if you have:

• Thrombophlebitis;
• Neoplasms, including benign ones;
• Seizures, such as epilepsy;
• Pathological changes in internal organs;
• Recent heart attack, stroke;
• Alcoholism, drug addiction.

The procedure should not be performed on those who have recently had a chemical peel on their face. A contraindication is the presence of metal objects in the body, such as pins in bones or pacemakers.

Sometimes there is intolerance to microcurrents, which is better to check before the procedure. There should be no unpleasant sensations during the session. If discomfort occurs, the doctor should either reduce the intensity of the currents or stop the procedure altogether.

Contraindications for microcurrent facial rejuvenation

The effect of electric current on the skin, even with a weak impulse, is traumatic for the human body. May cause minor burns, swelling and dermatological rashes . To conduct microcurrent therapy, you should contact specialized beauty salons, where there is a license to conduct such activities and trained personnel.

During the session, two small metal sticks are used, which are electrodes. The equipment must operate stably; voltage drops and changes in the specified current strength are not allowed. The technique has a number of contraindications that should be taken into account before the first session.

Microcurrent therapy for the face if you have a pacemaker

An installed pacemaker of any model is a direct contraindication to rejuvenation using microcurrents. This electronic device is extremely sensitive to any current pulses. After the procedure, there is a risk of changes in its operation, failure and resetting of the settings specified by the cardiologist. Any breakdown is fraught with negative consequences for the cardiovascular system. Leads to changes in heart rate, pulse and deterioration of well-being. If cosmetic rejuvenation is necessary, it is recommended to choose alternative methods, for example, body mesotherapy, thermage or RF lifting.

Microcurrents and runny nose

MTT is not recommended for acute forms of runny nose accompanied by infections and severe inflammation. Exposure to current discharges leads to a strong increase in blood supply, against which there is a possibility of a deterioration in well-being. The procedure can trigger the development of sphenoiditis, sinusitis and other inflammatory respiratory diseases of the sinuses. This contraindication is relative; microcurrent therapy is quite acceptable after complete recovery. It is highly not recommended to go to a beauty salon at a temperature that is often observed with a complicated cold.

During a runny nose, it is advisable to avoid any cosmetic procedures associated with physical effects on the body. The intensity of such methods puts a lot of stress on the body, which intensifies the course of the disease.

Does the procedure cause side effects for sinusitis?

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the upper sinuses that occurs against the background of a prolonged runny nose, infection or allergy. The disease is a relative contraindication to microcurrent therapy. With the active action of an electric charge, metabolic processes and blood supply to cells are enhanced. This stimulates complications and leads to deterioration of well-being. There is a risk of persistent swelling, which is difficult to relieve with medication. MTT is especially dangerous for chronic allergic sinusitis - the procedure can cause another relapse of the disease.

Thyroid

Microcurrent therapy is not recommended for any thyroid disease. It is located in the neck area; during the procedure, an electrical discharge affects the functioning of this organ. In professional salons, they always wear a special protective cape that covers the entire body except the face. This will minimize the risk of dangerous complications. A complete contraindication is exacerbation of hypo- and hyperthyroidism, adenoma, thyroid cancer. Even a slight electrical voltage can trigger an increase in symptoms and disruption of endocrine functions in the body. You can find out about contraindications to chemical peeling in this article.

Can it be done during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the body's overall sensitivity to external influences increases, and the risk of developing diseases increases, even with relatively safe procedures. Microcurrent therapy should be avoided in any trimester so as not to cause adverse reactions and negative consequences. The most common manifestation of microcurrent is the appearance of redness and rashes on the face. With a weakened immune system and a decrease in protective forces, these manifestations can be more pronounced and are often intensified by skin inflammation.

At any stage of pregnancy, it is recommended to abandon hardware and chemical cosmetic methods. They are always associated with a high load on the body and have many contraindications and side effects.

Lactation period

The period of breastfeeding is an important stage in the life of a newborn, since it is from mother’s milk that he receives all the micro- and macroelements and vitamins necessary for development. After a course of treatment with MTT, there is a possibility of changes in lactation and a decrease in the amount of colostrum produced. This is due to the rather close location of the mammary glands to the upper body in a sitting position. If a woman nevertheless decides to undergo microcurrent rejuvenation at this stage, during the procedure the body must be protected with a cape that restrains electrical impulses as much as possible.

Braces

All modern braces have metal elements in their design. The oral cavity is in close proximity to the electrodes during the procedure, which can lead to discomfort, unpleasant sensations and a tingling sensation. With this method of bite correction, it is not recommended to use a microcurrent device, but it is possible to use other methods of hardware rejuvenation.

Menstruation

During your period, powerful hormonal changes occur. The procedure itself is safe during this period, but the likelihood of pimples and acne on the face increases. For most women, sensitivity increases during menstruation, which makes MTT more painful and uncomfortable. Cosmetologists recommend refusing any intensive techniques associated with physical or chemical effects on the body.

Course duration taking into account age characteristics

To achieve a lasting effect, one session is not enough; their number and duration depend on age.

Up to 30 years of age, treatment with a microcurrent facial massager is carried out exclusively for preventive purposes. Women under the age of 40 require 5-6 sessions at weekly intervals, and up to 50 years – 8-12 visits every 3 days. The duration of the course for people over 50 years of age depends on the condition of the skin and existing health problems, so the number and frequency of procedures is determined by the doctor.

Possible consequences and side effects

Microcurrents are a gentle and relatively safe method of physical rejuvenation and treatment of skin diseases. If the procedure is carried out correctly and the doctor’s recommendations are followed before and after exposure, the risk of health complications is minimal. Side effects may occur in case of individual intolerance, the session is carried out in the presence of obvious contraindications.

Can it cause cancer?

Oncological diseases still have an unclear etiology (origin). They can develop against the background of many external and internal reasons. Today, only factors that contribute to the appearance of cancer have been identified. There are no reported cases of this severe disease occurring after microcurrent therapy in the clinical literature. If there are no contraindications, you can sign up for the procedure without fear.

Rash on face

The appearance of various rashes on the face is the most common complication of MTT. Occurs with increased sensitivity, intolerance to this method and non-compliance with the cosmetologist’s recommendations. Normally, redness lasts up to 5 days; if the rash lasts longer, you should consult a doctor. To speed up recovery after the session, it is recommended to use a soothing or wound healing cream.

MTT can trigger the development of acne, acne and other rashes in case of individual intolerance to the method.

Do your eyes swell after the procedure?

With proper implementation of microcurrent therapy, complications in the eyes are impossible. Swelling of the eyelids appears when an electrical impulse hits the mucous membrane. To avoid this, it is important to close your eyes during exposure and use special safety glasses. If after the session there is irritation, tearing, discomfort and other unpleasant sensations, you should contact a salon or therapist. You can find out why acne appears after peeling here.

Types of microcurrent facial therapy

Using a microcurrent lifting massager, you can perform different types of therapy.

Microcurrent lifting makes the skin elastic and the oval of the face contoured. This procedure activates metabolic processes in the cells of the epidermis and muscles, which improves their nutrition, which means the complexion is evened out and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.

Reprogramming of facial muscles is a procedure during which microcurrents are applied primarily to the facial muscles in order to reduce tone and tighten the skin. Thanks to this, it is possible to eliminate small expression wrinkles and also prevent the appearance of new ones.

Some cosmetologists may compare the effect of such therapy with Botox injections, but this procedure does not interfere with the activity of facial muscles, unlike beauty injections.

Microcurrent lymphatic drainage is aimed at eliminating swelling by accelerating blood microcirculation and lymph flow. It is also effective against bags under the eyes.

Disincrustation is a cleansing procedure. It is carried out to narrow the pores, dissolve their contents and cleanse. It also allows you to even out the surface of the skin.

The most effective is ionic mesotherapy . It allows you to eliminate:

• Pigmentation;
• Swelling;
• Superficial scars;
• Enlarged pores.

After it, the skin is more receptive to various cosmetics.

How is the procedure performed?

Before starting the procedure, a consultation with a specialist is required to determine the presence of contraindications and identify the area affected by microcurrents.

Microcurrent therapy sessions are best carried out in a special clinic or beauty salon.

Then makeup removal is carried out, and a special conductive gel is applied to the skin.

Microcurrent therapy is performed in several ways:

1. Electrodes are attached to the microcurrent application area. As a rule, this method is convenient for large areas of skin.
2. Microcurrent exposure is carried out using movable electrodes . Movements of the electrodes are carried out in specified directions. The movable electrodes themselves are special disposable sticks.
3. Massage with conductive gloves . This method is considered the most effective.

After the procedure, the conductive agent is removed and a cream or mask is applied.

Microcurrent therapy is carried out in a course. The session lasts approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour. The result is visible immediately after the first procedure and accumulates with each session. The duration of the course and the frequency of sessions will depend on the condition of the skin and the results achieved.

For maximum effect, a set of procedures is being developed, including microcurrent therapy in combination with other hardware, caring procedures and home care products.

Types of microcurrent therapy

Depending on the problem of the skin of the face and body, one of the types of microcurrent therapy can be used or in combination:

• microcurrent lymphatic drainage - aimed at getting rid of excess fluid in tissues and distributing it evenly. Used on the face and body. Helps get rid of swelling, smooth the skin, and even out the skin.
• microcurrent face and neck lifting - for tightened and smooth skin.
• disincrustation or galvanic cleaning - the procedure is carried out to deep clean pores of sebaceous secretions, toxins and impurities using alkaline solutions and galvanic current. Suitable for very sensitive skin and finely porous skin.
• non-injection mesotherapy or electroporation is a method that uses electric current instead of a needle, affecting the ionic bonds of the epidermis. Thanks to this method, the skin is tightened, protein metabolism in cells is activated, expression wrinkles , skin tone is evened out, and it gets rid of enlarged pores, scars, acne and pigmentation.
• reprogramming of facial muscles of the face and neck or myostimulation - allows you to influence the muscles, relaxing them or tensing them. This helps eliminate or minimize facial wrinkles.

Combination with other cosmetic procedures

Microcurrents can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, including Botox injections. However, the possibility of combination is determined only by a cosmetologist, taking into account individual characteristics and somatic status.

There is another limitation - the interval between different actions must be at least 14 days. When combined with such types of electrotherapy as darsonvalization or galvanization, it is not necessary to maintain a long period.

What is myolifting and its advantages?

Myolifting is a method of hardware solution to the problems of aging skin. Weak currents generated by special equipment are supplied to the problem area, to which vitamin, concentrated cosmetics have previously been applied. Multiple muscle contractions are performed on all layers of the dermis, as a result of which they are strengthened, tissue turgor and tone are increased, and the production of important collagen fibers is stimulated. Thus, the effect of facial rejuvenation is achieved.

Microcurrent lifting has a number of advantages:

• delicate, soft effect on all layers of the dermis and the vascular system including;
• the procedure is carried out without pain, without surgical intervention and without violating the integrity of the skin;
• high efficiency and versatility of lifting action with low currents. Positive changes occur not only in the dermal cells themselves, but also in the capillary vessels. In the complex, a noticeable effect is guaranteed after the first session;
• has a mild lymphatic drainage and tonic effect on facial tissues;
• this technique promotes the rapid removal of toxins from epidermal cells, strengthens the walls of capillaries and improves blood circulation in them, activates the synthesis of collagen and elastin;
• narrowing of pores, reduction of swelling, smoother facial contours and clear contours - this is not the entire list of positive changes after microcurrent therapy;
• no complications or side effects after the procedure. After each session, the use of cosmetics is not limited. This applies to home and folk remedies for skin rejuvenation.

Progress of the procedure

Therapy always begins with preparation, which involves cleansing the skin of remnants of makeup, impurities and carrying out superficial peeling (1-2 days before visiting a cosmetologist). This should be done to increase skin permeability, which means a more noticeable effect.

Then a special contact gel with a conductive composition is applied to the face. It contains useful active ingredients, which are selected by a cosmetologist depending on the existing problems. For example, gel for acne and wrinkles has a different composition.

After this, the specialist acts on the skin with electrodes, which are either cotton swabs moistened with a liquid composition or conductive gloves.

In most cases, the doctor uses a “labile” technique, that is, moves the electrodes along the lymph outflow lines. It starts from the neck area, which improves the drainage of lymph from the face.

If microcurrent lifting is carried out, the electrodes are moved either in the direction of each other, or in the opposite direction. Particular attention is paid to facial muscles, the forehead and chin.

At the end of the procedure, the contact gel is removed from the face. The entire process can take from 40 to 60 minutes.

Which is better: microcurrents or myostimulation?

Among the various methods of hardware therapy, microcurrent therapy and myostimulation are especially popular. Since both techniques involve the use of electrical impulses to improve the condition of the skin, many people confuse these techniques or believe that these are names for the same procedure.

Despite the fact that both of these methods pursue the same goal, there are significant differences between them both in indications for use and in the procedure itself.

Myostimulation affects muscles and actively tones them naturally , activating contractions of muscle fibers. This procedure is optimal for combating clear skin folds and wrinkles, tightening drooping corners of the lips, and contouring the oval of the face as a whole.

When the problem is not so pronounced defects: shallow wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, wrinkles on the forehead, unhealthy complexion and dark spots under the eyes, then microcurrent therapy will be a suitable and quite effective option for cosmetic treatment.

When performing hardware myostimulation, electrodes are installed at specific points and affect only certain muscle groups during one procedure.

When using microcurrents, electrically conductive plates are rearranged along massage lines. Most experts believe that the results from hardware myostimulation are more tangible and noticeable, but the results of microcurrent effects last for a longer time.

Recovery period

No special care is required during the recovery period. There are no consequences or redness left on the skin, even sensitive ones. There is no need to stop taking medications or visiting a solarium or sauna. You can use skincare products and apply makeup. Restrictions apply only to alcohol, coffee and smoking.

conclusions

1. Microcurrent therapy, or MTT, is a hardware method of skin rejuvenation. The positive effect is due to the influence of a weak current charge using a device for microcurrent therapy.
2. The procedure is considered completely safe for the body. Complications arise only if the rules for using the electrode and the recommendations of the cosmetologist are not followed.
3. Contraindications to the procedure are colds, the presence of braces and a pacemaker, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menstruation.
4. Microcurrents are effective for the treatment and prevention of rosacea, rosacea, and eliminating signs of aging.
5. The full course consists of 10-15 procedures lasting up to 30 minutes. Up to 2 repetitions are recommended throughout the year. You can find out what is better, mesotherapy or biorevitalization, in this material.

Microcurrent therapy at home

An independent microcurrent cosmetic procedure will require more time, since equipment for home use is inferior in power to salon equipment. A compact device will help tighten facial contours, improve skin tone and remove minor age-related changes.

Selecting a device

At home, a special microcurrent facial massager is used, which allows you to adjust the current strength in the range of 20-800 μA. It is recommended to choose a device with an electrode glove, since it is easier to operate and does not require special skills.

If there are no significant skin problems, a simple model will cope with supportive procedures: it will remove minor swelling and fine wrinkles. For wider use and the fight against age-related skin changes, it would be wise to purchase a multifunctional device for myostimulation.

Features of the procedure at home

Each device comes with detailed instructions, which contain not only recommendations for conducting therapy, but also diagrams that can be used to guide you while moving the electrodes.

The actions and their sequence will be the same as in the salon. In this case, you need to move precisely along the lymph outflow lines, and not along the massage lines, first towards the ears, and then down the neck.

Mechanism of action of microcurrents

The basis of this method of influencing the human body is the process of restoring intracellular metabolism. This means the following:

• The cells begin to receive a sufficient amount of oxygen, as well as the necessary nutrients. At the same time, the excretion of cell waste products is normalized;
• The processes of ATP synthesis are accelerated. At the same time, the energy saturation of the cell increases manifold;
• The processes of transporting amino acids are enhanced;
• The process of production of lipids , essential proteins, and enzymes is normalized;
• for rapid tissue regeneration is restored

In addition to the cellular level of influence, microcurrents also affect muscle tissue. This manifests itself in the following:

• Periodic compression and expansion of tissue fibers occurs, which affects the vessels located between them. So, when the fibers are compressed, the vessels close, after which the flow of blood and lymph stops. Decompression of the fibers leads to the resumption of current, which allows normalization of the circulation of body fluids;
• At the same time, muscle tone is restored and the natural depth of wrinkles is reduced.

It is worthwhile to dwell on the mechanism of the analgesic effect of microcurrents. Here the pain stimulation of the body returns beyond the threshold of “gate control”. Thus, the human body has a certain pain threshold that inhibits the manifestation of pain.

But the penetration of certain infections into human cells “breaks” this peculiar defense, the person begins to feel unbearable pain when, with normal cell functioning, he could not feel this pain at all. Microcurrents release a certain amount of analgesics contained within a person, as a result, the pain stops.

Precautionary measures

The procedure should not cause discomfort. Discomfort manifests itself in the form of tingling and tingling if the skin is not sufficiently moisturized. If they occur, then you need to reduce the current or stop the session.

Possible side effects

There should be no significant side effects from microcurrent therapy. During the session, you may experience discomfort on the skin, a metallic taste in the mouth, and bright flashes if the electrodes are applied to the area around the eyes.

Is the procedure dangerous for human health?

In cosmetology, microcurrent therapy is widely used to rejuvenate facial skin. When exposed to a weak charge of electric current, a lymphatic drainage and lifting effect is achieved. The method is completely painless and safe. The risk of adverse reactions arises if the procedure is not followed, preparation is ignored, and contraindications are ignored. Restrictions can be relative (temporary) or permanent. To achieve a lasting result, a course of 5-10 sessions is required; before your first visit to the salon, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

In practice, two main MTT methods are used. MENS technology is used only for facial rejuvenation, TENS – for the treatment of acne, seborrhea and the elimination of deep expression wrinkles.

Photos before and after procedures with reviews

The visible effect will be obtained only after several sessions; to consolidate the result, you must complete the full course.

Ekaterina, 32 years old: “I was always skeptical about this procedure. I was persuaded by a friend who took more than one course. I gave in and don’t regret anything. After ionic mesotherapy, my skin became healthy and more youthful in appearance.”

Olga, 40 years old: “The effect of microcurrents is not just good, but amazing. I’ve only completed one course, and I’ve already heard so many compliments in my direction. The face really became more youthful, the contour was defined, and the skin was elastic. The wrinkles around the eyes have practically disappeared.”

Elena, 38 years old: “My main problem is the eternal bags under my eyes. Nothing helped. My husband gave a certificate to a beauty salon. The doctor recommended microcurrents. And a miracle happened - the bags disappeared. Now, for prevention, I take a course once a year and I’m not afraid to look in the mirror.”

Indications

Despite the large number of contraindications, microcurrent therapy is one of the most popular methods of facial skin rejuvenation. MTT is used not only in cosmetology, but also for the treatment of some dermatological diseases during remission.

Rosacea

The disease is translated from Latin as “acne rosacea”. These are chronic skin rashes mainly on the face, neck and back. It is characterized by severe redness, inflammation and the formation of papules and pustules. Microcurrent therapy is prescribed as part of the systemic treatment of rosacea to reduce the intensity of symptoms.

When exposed to electrodes, metabolic processes are triggered and the blood supply to the epidermis is increased. A full course of procedures in combination with medications allows you to completely remove external manifestations, reduce the risk of complications and another relapse. You can find out about contraindications to Dysport by following the link.

Rosacea tends to become chronic. Control the course of the disease by adjusting your diet, lifestyle and regular physical therapy.

Microcurrents for rosacea

Is an indication for microcurrents. This is a common problem, often appearing after 35-40 years. Externally, it is a pronounced capillary network on the surface of the skin. Appears due to impaired blood circulation and thinned epidermis. Using microcurrents and peeling, they relieve severe symptoms, reduce the manifestations of rosacea and prevent the development of the disease. Efficiency is achieved only after completing the full course. In cosmetic medicine, microcurrent therapy is used for both active treatment and prevention of this disease.

What is microcurrent face lifting?

Have you ever heard of Madame Ninon de Lenclos? A Frenchwoman who lived back in the 16th century was distinguished by her unearthly beauty, which she retained until her death. And she died, by the way, at 89 years old. And even at such an old age she had many fans, including young men. Madame did not hide the secret of her eternal youth, believing that she owed it to a piece of suede and boiled water. There is a huge amount of truth in this statement, because the friction between suede fabric and skin generates electricity, which has a beneficial effect on the muscles, making them harder.

Today's much more effective analogue of a simple 16th century procedure is microcurrent face lifting. Rejuvenation is achieved through electrical impulses, which, upon reaching the muscles, cause them to contract repeatedly. Subsequently, they are strengthened, skin tone increases, wrinkles are smoothed out, the double chin is reduced, the oval of the face is tightened, the skin looks healthy and radiant, pores are narrowed, and the relief is evened out. Also, current stimulation causes increased production of elastin and collagen, which is especially important for aging skin after 40 years.

Cosmetologists recommend starting myostimulation of the face and neck starting at the age of 25 as a preventive measure against aging. Up to 30 years old, you can safely get by with just 1 course of 5-10 procedures once a year; after 30, the number of courses will have to be multiplied by 2. And only after 50 years, when many age-related changes become irreversible, microcurrent therapy will give only temporary and fleeting results.

Contraindications for microcurrent lifting

Microcurrent lifting, although in most cases a safe cosmetic procedure and very common throughout the world, still does not exclude contraindications to its implementation. These include:

1. Intolerance to electrical impulses. A fairly rare phenomenon that can be expressed in different ways: increased blood pressure, a sharp deterioration in condition, general weakness, headache or dizziness.
2. The presence of malignant processes. In this case, microcurrents will only accelerate the growth of pathological foci.
3. Epilepsy. Electrical impulses can cause an epileptic seizure, which can even be fatal in people with this disease.
4. The presence in the body of any prostheses, pins and implants made of iron.
5. Pregnancy.
6. Severe heart disease, stroke or heart attack.
7. The presence of gold or platinum threads in the skin, previously used for a lifting effect.
8. Severe mental disorders.
