Today microcurrent therapy is gaining an increasing number of fans. This is a fairly effective method that allows you to quickly and almost painlessly return the skin to freshness and youth, improve metabolic processes and blood circulation.
Microcurrent therapy in cosmetology
The human body works through electrochemical processes. This is precisely what this procedure is based on. Indeed, during the session, the skin is exposed to small electric discharges that mimic biocurrents and, therefore, have a positive effect on the functioning of tissues. It is worth noting that microcurrent therapy affects not only the skin, but also the blood and lymph vessels, muscles and adipose tissue.
For example, correctly selected electric charges trigger a series of reactions in the body that allow you to restore atrophied muscles - thus, the face contour is gradually corrected , metabolic processes are activated, large skin folds are smoothed out.
Microcurrent therapy of the face allows you to remove the second chin, improve lymphatic drainage and venous outflow, eliminate stagnant processes, remove edema and dark circles under the eyes. Electric discharges also activate enhanced synthesis of elastic fibers, in particular collagen. Therefore, the course of treatment with microcurrents allows you to get rid of deep and small wrinkles, to make the skin more elastic and fresh.
A similar procedure can be carried out 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 eliminate 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 almost painless and does not require a rehabilitation period.
Microcurrent therapy: indications for use
Despite the fact that microcurrents are a fairly new technique, modern cosmetology salons use it to eliminate a lot of problems:

- Microcurrent therapy is used to care for dry, sensitive, aging and sagging skin.
In addition, this technique is widely used to prepare patients for plastic surgery, and also as a rehabilitation tool after surgery, since electric currents trigger regenerative processes.
There are several types of microcurrent therapy, each of which is designed to affect certain groups of tissues.
Despite the fact that such treatment is considered the least dangerous, the patient is nevertheless obliged to undergo a complete medical examination, which will make it possible to determine the presence of contraindications. The course of treatment, the schedule of the procedures, as well as the technical characteristics of the electrical impulses are determined by the doctor based on the state of the body.
Microcurrent therapy: contraindications
Even such a safe procedure has a number of contraindications. In particular, such treatment is prohibited if there is an electric stimulator in the body, metal pins and other structures, gold threads. For people with individual intolerance to electric current, such procedures are also not recommended. Some diseases are also considered contraindications, including epilepsy, heart rhythm disturbances, strokes and heart attacks. And, of course, microcurrent therapy is prohibited during pregnancy.
