To better understand why microcurrent facial treatment works so well, you should know about the microcurrent itself.
What is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent is a very small value current that our body naturally generates for energy production. It is our body’s electrical system that facilitates the ionic exchange from one cell’s membrane to another. This ionic exchange is vital for various primary cell functions such as nutrient absorption from the blood, excretion of cellular waste, and impulse movement through nerve pathways.
It is the microcurrent that harmoniously flows throughout our body for healthy cell functioning and communication. Whenever there occurs an injury or disease in our body, this electrical system gets disturbed that further hampers intercellular communication.
Relationship of Microcurrent with Cells
Cells present in a human body are similar to miniature batteries and electrical generators. Cells in our body also conduct electricity, generate electrical fields, and are fueled by a very small electrical voltage. And when there is a small electrical voltage, there is a small value current (microcurrent) too.
Application of Microcurrent in Cosmetics
In the cosmetic and esthetics field, microcurrent is applied that is similar to the one that naturally forms in our body. Artificial microcurrent works in harmony with the natural microcurrent and imitates its behavior, frequency, polarity, and functionality. This method is used when the electrical system in your body slows down as a result of some surgery or as your age increases.
With the help of a microcurrent facial machine, microcurrent can be easily applied to your face which then stimulates your facial muscles and boosts the production of collagen and elastin – the only two compounds that make your skin healthier, firmer, and younger.
There are various innovative applications for microcurrent facial machines in the beauty industry. In fact, microcurrent is used to speed up the electrical system of not only the face but also the whole body.
To your surprise, the microcurrent technology was originally used in the 1980s as a muscle stimulator to treat Bell’s Palsy – a condition that results in temporary weakness and sagging within the skin due to nerve paralysis. After thirty years of research on microcurrent in medicine and cosmetic improvement, the technology was slowly introduced in the cosmetic industry for people looking for age-defying results to restore their youthful appearance.
Application of a microcurrent facial toning device also encourages the natural repairing process that occurred spontaneously in your body and therefore, also helps improve and restore the damaged skin. Besides, when you undergo the best microcurrent facial treatment, it also mitigates the effects of practices like aggressive peels and thermolysis.
One should avoid undergoing aggressive peels and thermolysis treatment as studies have revealed that they cause more harm and injury to the already compromised skin. On the other hand, a microcurrent facial toning device revitalizes your skin by encouraging repair of the stratum corneum, bi-layers, and dermal components.
Apart from the above-mentioned benefits, cosmetic microcurrent facial machines offered by Biosonic Technologies, LLC, also provide the following benefits:
- Improve skin texture

- Re-educate muscles
- Mitigates inflammation
- Supports circulation of blood and lymph
- No visible muscle contractions or marked discomfort
- Promote cell metabolism and tissue repair
- Support mitochondria activities through increasing ATP
- Increase protein synthesis, GNG, and membrane transport

In summary microcurrent
- Promotes cell metabolism and tissue repair
- Supports circulation – blood and lymph
- Reduces inflammation
- Diminishes lymphedema in cancer patients
- Helps increase mitochondria activity through increasing ATP
- Increase natural production of collagen and elastin
- Upport scar repair by dispersing scar tissue and collagen remodeling
- Increase protein synthesis, gluconeogenesis (GNG) and membrane transport.
- Reeducate and rejuvenate muscle tissue
- Supports healing of bone8
- Heals skin ulcerations9,10
- Used in equine medicine
In Summary
The future for the use of microcurrent relies on education and understanding of the cells and body systems and the benefits that are available from this innovative technology. The intended use for microcurrent in esthetics is to present a powerful and effective tool to aid in inspiring a healthy skin transition from youth to maturity.
