What is microcurrent?

Skintastik Day Spa Sacramento CA - Professional Day Spa, Fol...
Microcurrent aids in reducing the signs of aging by performing a non-surgical face-lift and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by utilizing a low level of electricity known as microcurrent. These tiny microcurrent impulses trigger chemical reactions at a cellular level to enhance the production of natural collagen and elastin, provide circulatory benefits, and assist in product penetration. The result is visible firming and smoothing of the skin.

What is the difference between the microcurrent and a laser?

Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Microcurrent provides electrons and in published studies increases ATP production in cells. Lasers provide photons. I am not aware of any research suggesting that laser treatment increases ATP production. Lasers oscillate at set frequencies and provide beneficial results. They are doing it by some other method than frequency specific resonance and ATP enhancement. See similar questions...

What is the difference between microcurrent and TENS?

Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Microcurrent is approved in the category of TENS devices determined by the FDA. TENS devices deliver milliamp current and block pain messages that are tying to get up the spine to the brain. Microcurrent delivers microamperage current which has been shown in published studies to increase ATP production in tissues. See similar questions...

What is the difference between microcurrent and ultra sound?

Frequency Specific Microcurrent
