As people get older, the body’s bioelectricity and chemical energy slows down, cell renewal takes longer, and skin cells cannot function effectively. This can cause multiple skin problems: loss of tone, elasticity and firmness; fine lines; wrinkles; sagging-all signs of aging. Microcurrents can help reverse this process by re-stimulating the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is called the “flow of life”, it is the only energy molecule that the human body will accept and use.
Micro-current devices provide microampere current instead of the milliampere current provided by TENS devices (microampere is one thousand times the milliamp). The current is lower than the sensory threshold at a speed of microamperes and will not cause any sensation on the person being treated, but the TENS device will cause a slight tingling sensation and even make them feel uncomfortable.
