The Science Behind Microcurrent Facial Wands: Skin Tightening Made Easy

A microcurrent facial wand is a professional tool to tighten facial muscles, achieving a firmer and youthful appearance.  The professional-grade implement can emulate the results of a clinical spa treatment, with the convenience of easy, at-home use.

While this applied science of using electrical currency has been available since the late 1970s, microcurrent dermatology is a new and innovative therapy. However, it has quickly become a popular tool for those looking for anti-aging treatments with effective results.

If you prefer portable skin care tools that don’t require appointments and offer the benefits of a facelift, you should invest in a microcurrent wand.

Why Use a Microcurrent Facial Wand?

If you have ever been curious about Botox but are turned off by the thought of injections that come with a hefty price tag, microcurrent technology may be a preferred option. A face-tightening wand is an excellent alternative to Botox because it’s painless, doesn’t break the epidermal surface, and rarely causes a reaction.

‘These treatments have immediate benefits with absolutely no recovery time,’ says Graceanne Svendsen, LE, CME, a licensed esthetician.”  Because microcurrent treatments have been used in areas of physical therapy for decades, they are trusted to be capable and efficient.

Facial wands are fantastic tools due to their compact design, allowing consumers to travel with them. Microcurrent wands provide easy access to skin tightening and lifting anytime you wish.

How Does Microcurrent Technology Work?

Over time, skin care treatments and anti-aging therapies have become more technologically advanced. However, sometimes, one needs to be skeptical regarding the promises and promotions of specific modalities.

Microcurrent treatments are not a trendy fad, as these regimens have proven effective, even outside of cosmetic practices. While microcurrent facials may currently be getting their moment to shine, this trusted method has been a valuable tool in the background for years.

“Microcurrent therapy has been used in a clinical setting for many years, and its origin dates back a few centuries ago when the electrostatically charged leaf was used to treat skin conditions such as skin lesions and skin ulcers.”

In short, microcurrent facial wands deliver low-level electrical currents to the facial muscles, causing these tissues to expand and contract on a cellular level. The muscle contractions result in tighter skin, which can also stimulate collagen production.

Imagine using a skin care tool as a ‘workout’ for your face. Essentially, microcurrent facial wands do this: they energize the cells below the epidermal surface to create a ‘lift’ in the skin.

 “Microcurrent devices have two electrodes on one end, which deliver the current of electricity. This does not involve any surgery. A person remains awake throughout the treatment and can continue their usual activities immediately.”

The wand is the channel that delivers the electrical currents. A clinical esthetician can perform this procedure, or you can apply it yourself at home.

The Benefits of Using a Microcurrent Facial Wand

Regardless of which body part, your muscles will always benefit from a workout. The same sentiment rings true for microcurrent therapy and facial wands.

If you spend a lot of time at the gym, especially if you incorporate weight training, you will eventually notice your muscles becoming firmer and more toned. The corresponding result is typically a more youthful appearance, with increased confidence.

Microcurrent facial wands deliver very similar results, specifically for your face. The advantages of using facial wands are plenty, and they can include:

• Firmer, tighter skin, similar to a facelift.

• Increased collagen production.

• A more ‘lifted’ appearance, reducing sagginess in the skin.

• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

• An overall ‘brighter’ appearance, providing a youthful glow.

However, microcurrent wand therapy goes beyond the superficial appearance. These treatments can also improve the skin’s health, penetrating deep into the epidermal layers.

Incorporating facial wands into your skincare routine also has advantages, including enhanced blood circulation, less puffiness, improvements to wound healing, and increased cellular activity that aids in better production absorption into the skin.

In addition, there is evidence that microcurrent facials can also provide lymphatic drainage, as these electrical currents stimulate many pressure points on the face.

Are Microcurrent Facial Wands Safe?

The thought of delivering electrical currents to your body can seem intimidating. Naturally, no one wants to be electrocuted!

However, with facial wands, this could not be further from the case. In addition to the proven effectiveness from years of use in physical therapy, the actual electrodes are minuscule.

For most people, microcurrent facials are safe to use at a clinical spa and at home. Because the currents are activated at such a low level and don’t break the skin’s surface, there is minimal risk of damage or danger.

That said, it should be mentioned that pregnant women and people with epilepsy will want to consult with a healthcare professional before seeking microcurrent facial treatments.

How to Use Microcurrent Facial Wand

First, you should start with a freshly cleansed and exfoliated face, as this will help with product penetration.  To enhance the procedure, it’s always best to apply a water-based serum.

For example, we recommend incorporating the Lifting Gel from Coleman Napier into your regime.

Next, sweep the facial wand upwards and outwards, extending the tool across your cheekbones and up towards your forehead. Repeat these motions for approximately five minutes every day.

You should use a facial wand up to five days a week for two months. After that, you can decrease treatments to a few days a week.
