Next up was a quick microdermabrasion session with a diamond-tipped wand to gently—but effectively— exfoliate my skin. After my face was primed and ready for the main event, I asked Shane if I should expect any pain during the microcurrent process. With a little laugh, he said no, which immediately eased my anxiety. As Shane moved the dual-pronged device along on my skin, I felt basically nothing—no pain or discomfort.
Imagine gently pressing a facial sculptor like a jade roller into your face for a few seconds at a time. After finishing the left side of my face, Shane handed me a mirror to look at the results. I was pleasantly surprised— it was definitely subtle, but my skin already looked a bit tighter and smoother.
After the first round of microcurrent, Shane applied a mask and went over my face once more before removing the remaining product with a warm towel.
Then, my skin got a boost of hydration with oxygen therapy, followed by a few layers of hydrating face serums and a red LED light session which, for the record, is used to help promote circulation. After my facial was over, my skin seriously glowed. The biggest difference I noticed from the microcurrent? My face looked less puffy and a bit more defined , especially under my eyes and around my cheekbones.
Since microcurrent therapy is gentle—remember: it's a non-invasive treatment and it works the muscles under your skin— you shouldn't expect any redness or inflammation. But since my treatment also included some microdermabrasion, I did experience a little sensitivity post-treatment. My fix? I used only hydrating products and paused my active ingredients for a few days following my appointment just to be safe. Here's the thing: I can't report that I had a super-drastic lift following my microcurrent facial.
I did notice that de-puffing under my eyes and around my cheekbone lasted for a few days post-facial though, but as Vargas explains, microcurrent therapy is most effective when it's done regularly.
Most of my clients like to come every three to four weeks to really get the cumulative benefit ," she explains. For the most part, microcurrent treatments are safe for everyone. Even more, the current stimulates endorphins, so that when you leave a session, you both look and feel your best.
The benefits of microcurrent include improved health and appearance of the skin, and firmer, more toned facial muscles. Plus, the treatments are so relaxing, that many people fall asleep during their sessions. While the best and most lasting results occur over time, you can often see a difference in just the first session. As we age, our body gradually loses its natural electrical energy—like a battery losing its charge. The collagen and elastin in our skin cells break down.
Our facial muscles become increasingly contracted from years of gravity and facial expression. The combined result is sagging and increased lines, wrinkles and folds. Microcurrent works at the cellular level to counter these effects. It literally recharges your skin back to a more youthful state. ATP is a nucleotide that is able to store and transport chemical energy within cells.
Increased levels of ATP speed cellular metabolism, stimulate protein synthesis, promote detoxification and reconstitute collagen and elastin. Most people report that after just one treatment they noticed plumper-looking skin , more prominent cheekbones, lifted brows and more of a defined jawline. The only downside is that you have to get it regularly to maintain results. Think of it as going to the gym to stay in shape. And the best thing?

I would absolutely love to promote this device and I am Certain I can bring the social media attention it needs. Dear Shaheen, thank you for your offer!
Yes, this seems like a wonderful device. Dear Amila, thank you for contacting us! Especially in the context of daily long term use. I have read studies and seen microcurrent products that reduce abdominal fat, so I am confused and concerned. Dear Jenna, please note that commercial salon equipment is stronger than the home use products most devices created for home do not usually use more than uA.
For more information please contact our Customer Service. Hi there! Microcurrent facials in all honesty are designed for people over the age of 20 as they are developed to prevent aging. We believe it is best to start in your 20s, as a preventative treatment, but there is no upper age limit on using the microcurrent. Hope this help! When apoptosis occurs it can cause destruction of fat and therefore lead to volume loss.
Is this a risk with home microcurrent devices please? Feeling extra dry, dull, and puffy from flying and drinking beachside cocktails to my heart's content how could you not?
Before getting into the facial, I gave myself half an hour to indulge in the massive spa's hydrotherapy circuit: I jumped back and forth from massaging waters, saunas, and steam rooms. By the end of it, my muscles felt melted like butter and all the steam had my face ready for Carillon esthetician Nerys Rodriguez to start my minute microcurrent facial. I walked away from the treatment room with visibly plumper-looking skin, major lift around my brows, more of a defined jawline, and more prominent cheekbones.
I felt so confident that I totally skipped the usual contouring I do when I applied makeup later that day. Impressed by my results, I chatted with the esthetician about microcurrent facials, how they work, and why people love them so much they're getting them weekly. We have to keep it fit.
So, we use current to stimulate the muscle, starting low then increasing gradually until you have the firmness you would like," Rodriguez explains. While Rodriguez says having a microcurrent facial once a month is sufficient, she adds that clients of hers at Carillon—the wellness resort is also residential—come weekly. She adds that a microcurrent facial also doubles as an lymphatic drainage massage. Collagen is the main protein the body has to build muscle.
