Microcurrent therapy in cosmetology
The human body works thanks to electrochemical processes. This is what this procedure is based on. After all, during the session, the skin is affected by small electrical discharges that imitate biocurrents and, therefore, have a positive effect on the work of tissues. It is worth noting that microcurrent therapy affects not only the skin, but also blood and lymphatic vessels, muscles and adipose tissue.
For example, properly selected electrical charges trigger a series of reactions in the body that allow you to restore atrophied muscles - thus, the oval of the face is gradually corrected, metabolic processes are activated, and large skin folds are smoothed out.
Microcurrent facial therapy allows you to remove the secondchin, improve lymphatic drainage and venous outflow, eliminate congestive processes, remove swelling and dark circles under the eyes. Electrical discharges also activate enhanced synthesis of elastic fibers, in particular collagen. Therefore, a course of microcurrent treatment allows you to get rid of deep and fine wrinkles, make the skin more elastic and fresh.
This procedure can be performed not only on the skin of the face, but also on other parts of the body, including even the most problematic areas. In addition, microcurrent therapy is used to treat age spots and acne symptoms.
The advantages of such treatment include the absence of invasion - there is no direct contact with blood during the procedure, which means that the risk of infection and other complications is reduced to zero. In addition, the treatment is virtually painless and does not require a downtime.
