Microcurrent
What Is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent is a safe, effective and non-invasive technology that has truly revolutionized professional skin care. By mirroring the body’s own natural low level electrical current, microcurrent technology can dramatically tone the facial contour, leaving the facial landscape visually lifted and the skin plump, hydrated and firm. We proudly use the Bio-Ultimate Platinum device made by Bio-Therapeutic, Technology Accelerated Skin Care.
How Does Microcurrent Work?
Microcurrent is an extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical current. Because this low level of electricity is subsensory, treatments are comfortable and painless. Together with proven application techniques, microcurrent technology offers clients a natural solution to the age management fight.
From the biochemical side, studies show that microcurrent stimulates the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (Cheng, et al. 1982). ATP is the powerhouse that provides energy for key functions, including protein synthesis which aides in collagen and elastin production.
What Makes Bio-Therapeutic Different?
Bio-Therapeutic is a pioneer in microcurrent technology and has been innovating since 1974. Microcurrent was their first technology and continues to be their greatest. Through their vast international distributor network, they provide technology and products to skin care professionals worldwide. Microcurrent from Bio-Therapeutic is FDA approved and is made in the USA.
Scientists are now writing a new chapter in our understanding of the aging process, The Energetic Theory of Aging. Essentially, this theory holds that they key to aging process is the reduction of cellular energy, and its building block Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Moreover, by the time we reach sixty years of age, our cellular energy levels are reduced by up to half!
In this regard, Bio-Therapeutic was well ahead of its time, and they have been talking about the importance of cellular energy and ATP in maintaining skin health for more than fifty years. Studies show that frequency specific microcurrent stimulates the production of ATP, the powerhouse that provides energy for key cellular functions, including protein synthesis which aides in collagen and elastin production.

- 40-50 years old: Series of 6-10
- 50-60 years old: Series of 10-15
- 60+ years old: Series of 12-20
Each treatment plan is completely customizable to your individual needs and goals.
Are microcurrent facials right for everyone?

Clients who have past or present health concerns that are not listed here, must consult with their physician, and we will require a note from your doctor allowing us to proceed.
Contraindications to microcurrent use:
- Pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices
- Epilepsy
- Pregnancy
- Cancer
- Thrombosis (formation of blood clots)
- Phlebitis (inflammation of veins)
- Metal plates or pins in the application area
- Under a physician’s care for a disorder, illness, disease, or injury
- Piercings of any kind must be removed prior to treatment, as they may provide a conductive path to areas that are more sensitive and/or not intended to be treated.
