How Does Microcurrent Therapy Work?
Microcurrent stimulates the face and body by sending gentle waves of energy through the skin, tissues and down into the muscles. Microcurrent works by stimulating ATP production in the cells. ATP is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms on earth, and is important in all of the biochemical processes of these organisms. Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent. This energy expenditure is the driving force behind the creation of key structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin.
Similar to how exercise energizes the muscles in our bodies, microcurrent increases ATP production which energizes the face and body muscles. Unlike in other areas of the body, the facial muscles are directly connected to the skin and energizing these muscles results in an improved, lifted appearance.
