Microcurrent facials—often called the non-surgical facelift—use gentle, low-level electrical impulses to lift, tone, and rejuvenate the skin without downtime. Originally developed to treat facial muscle paralysis in Bell’s palsy patients, microcurrent was found to effectively re-educate muscles and restore symmetry. Today, it is one of the most sought-after non-invasive alternatives to injections, surgery, and aggressive resurfacing treatments.
How Microcurrent Works
Microcurrent delivers tiny electrical signals that mimic the body’s own natural currents, boosting cellular energy by up to 400%. This increase in ATP stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhances circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness, and improves overall tone and firmness. The result is lifted, contoured, radiant skin with no downtime.
Microcurrent acts as a cellular “supercharger,” promoting faster cell turnover and a visibly more youthful complexion.

How Long Do Microcurrent Results Last?
Most clients notice an immediate lift and improved radiance after their first microcurrent facial. Results vary based on age, skin health, and lifestyle. Because microcurrent works like “fitness for your facial muscles,” consistent sessions build results over time. Once optimal skin tone and firmness are achieved, occasional maintenance keeps the lift long-lasting.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
A series of treatments is recommended to achieve full benefits. General guidelines:
Ages 20–29: Preventative care every 8 weeks
Ages 30–35: Series of 6 treatments over 3 weeks; maintain every 6–8 weeks
Ages 36–40: Series of 8 treatments over 5 weeks; maintain every 4–6 weeks
Ages 41–50: Series of 10 treatments over 7 weeks; maintain every 4–6 weeks
Ages 51+: Series of 12 treatments over 9 weeks; maintain every 4–6 weeks
Clients who smoke, sunbathe frequently, or have a history of toxin exposure may require 15–20+ sessions for best results.
Who Is Not a Candidate
Microcurrent should not be used if you have:
Pacemaker
Epilepsy or seizure history
Metal implants in the treatment area
Recent surgery
Phlebitis or thrombosis
Pregnancy or recent childbirth
Severe spine conditions
Diabetes or cancer patients may receive treatment with physician approval.
Microcurrent Overview
Microcurrent is a non-invasive, anti-aging treatment that improves the look of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, sun damage, and acne scarring. It is ideal for clients seeking a natural approach to skin rejuvenation, yet it also pairs beautifully with injectables or post-surgical treatments to enhance results.
