Microcurrent Vs Radio Frequency?Updated a year ago
Microcurrent is measured in micro-amps. It’s a low-level, electrical current capable of facial stimulation, that sends soft, gentle waves through the skin, down to the facial muscles to mimic and gently re-energize the body’s natural ionic flow. It’s a non-invasive, virtually subsensory treatment to help tone, lift, contour, and improve skin radiance. Research has shown 3 main mechanisms of microcurrent relative to facial rejuvenation help stimulate the facial muscles to strengthen, tone, and improve muscle integrity. Additionally, microcurrent increases the production of the molecule Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to trigger the production of collagen and elastin, as well as improves microcirculation to enhance nutrient delivery to the skin, tissue, and muscles helping boost skin radiance.
However, radio frequency is a type of energy that is measured in frequency or wavelengths per second. All types of energy, such as sound waves a TV emits or sunlight, are classified according to their frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio frequency skin-tightening is a non-invasive cosmetic technique that utilizes frequency energy to smooth and tighten the skin. The high energy, delivered by the radio frequency current, induces thermal damage and denatures collagen in the targeted area, (this is a controlled wound healing response, helping to induce the production of new collagen) to help give your skin more support and firmness, thus resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
