Microcurrent: Emits low-level electrical currents to mimic the body’s natural bioelectricity. This stimulates facial muscles, improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Think of it as a “workout” for your face, toning lax muscles to lift and contour.
RF: Generates heat in the deeper skin layers (dermis), prompting fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. This thermal energy tightens sagging skin, smooths wrinkles, and refines texture over time.
Immediate Results: Provides an instant “lift” by temporarily contracting muscles, reducing puffiness and enhancing facial contours.
Skin Radiance: Improved circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients, creating a healthier, brighter complexion.
Gentle & Versatile: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be used around delicate areas like the eyes.
Long-Term Anti-Aging: Boosts collagen production to address deep wrinkles, sagging, and enlarged pores, with results becoming noticeable after 4–12 weeks.
Skin Tightening: Targets the dermis to improve elasticity, making it ideal for mature or lax skin.
Texture Improvement: Smoothes rough patches and enhances overall skin firmness.
| Factor | Microcurrent | RF |
|---|---|---|
| Target Layer | Facial muscles and superficial skin | Deep dermis (collagen-producing layer) |
| Immediate Effect | Visible lift and reduced puffiness | Minimal; gradual results over weeks |
| Best For | Preventing sagging, enhancing contour, brightening | Wrinkles, deep sagging, texture issues |
| Usage Frequency | 3–5 times weekly (safe for regular use) | 1–2 times weekly (needs recovery time) |
Choose Microcurrent If: You want quick results for a special event, have mild sagging or dullness, or prefer a gentle, non-heat-based treatment.
Choose RF If: You’re focused on long-term skin tightening, have moderate to severe wrinkles, or want to improve overall skin elasticity.
