coupled with long impulse times, for
example, have a purifying and
relaxing effect through individual
contractions, whereby the
circulation in the treated muscle is
simultaneously improved and
removal of metabolic end products
is supported (lymphatic drainage).
In contrast, by means of a rapid
succession of contractions
(fibrillation), medium frequencies
(20-50 Hz) can put a high level of
strain on the muscle, thus promoting
the muscular structure.

HOW ‘MIC’ WORKS
MicroCurrent Stimulation (MIC) is a
type of therapy where very low
current is sent into the cells of the
body. MIC is a very faint current that
is so small it is measured in millionths
of an amp (microamps).
Microcurrent has been used for
about 25 years in medicine. Good
results have been achieved in the
treatment of bell’s palsy, facial
paralysis, stroke, wound healing and
pain control.
Human cells generate a current that
is in the micro amp range which is
why some can’t feel it - the current
is so low it doesn’t stimulate the
sensory nerves.
As we get older, the body slows
down, the muscles start to age, and
the skin begins to deteriorate.
Microcurrent has the ability to speed
up the whole metabolism of the
tissue and cellular activity. It works in
two ways: preventative and
corrective. It heals the tissues so that
a visible result will be seen after only
one session. The skin will tighten, and
lines and wrinkles will be softened
because of the cellular activity
being stimulated.
In addition, because the muscle
and tissue are then in a better state
of repair to receive the body’s own
natural bio-electrical impulses, there
is preventative care as well. The
ageing process is being delayed
and a healing effect is produced.
Why use Microcurrent?
•
Corrective: enhances natural
features, encourages collagen
production to plump out the
tissue
•
Tightens and soften lines
•
Very little sensation felt: very
relaxing treatment
•
Preventative: delays the aging
process and stops further
damage by stimulating the
existing collagen
•
Non-invasive: safer and less
intrusive than face lifting surgery
Benefits of Microcurrent:
•
Lifts sagging muscles
•
Reduces the appearance of
wrinkles and fine lines
•
Reduces oedema: puffiness
under the eyes is reduced as is
dark circles under the eyes.
•
Gives a youthful appearance to
the skin
•
Tightens and reduces open pores
