How it Works!
When applying microcurrents to the human body to enhance skin and facial areas, this is not is not a new technology. It has been used for years. Explore with us what is microcurrent therapy, how it works, and the benefits.
What do we know about Microcurrent Therapy
A microcurrent therapy uses a microcurrent machine which transmits low-voltage electricity to the skin and muscles. These treatments are actually painless thanks to the low voltage of those waves. These machines are approved for microcurrent facials and are effective for tightening skin and creating a more plump and youthful appearance.
What is microcurrent frequency therapy?
When combining frequency with microcurrent, a new therapy was formed. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) was developed and is the practice of introducing a mild electrical current, at a specific frequency, into an area of damaged soft tissue.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, Frequency Specific microcurrent (FSM) is a technique for treating pain by using low-level electrical current. The current is delivered to certain parts of the body in an attempt to relieve the pain. Research shows that the current enhances the healing process underway in that same tissue.
A frequency is the rate at which a sound wave or electronic pulse is produced. This measurement is registered in hertz (Hz). In using FSM to treat pain, it’s been found that various frequencies can be used to potentially reduce inflammation (swelling), repair tissue, and reduce pain.
How does frequency-specific microcurrent work?
FSM is applied to the body with a device that delivers a mild current. Microcurrent is an extremely mild electrical current (one millionth of an ampere). The human body actually produces its own current within each cell.
In FSM, depending on the tissue involved, specific frequencies are selected to encourage natural healing of the body, giving cells protection and aiding in pain reduction. Frequencies have been identified for nearly every type of tissue in the body. For example, a healthy body frequency is 62-72 Hz. The Kidney frequency 319.88 Hz is that of a healthy organ.
One of the ways FSM works is by potentially increasing the production of the substance Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ADP, in injured tissues. ATP is the major source of energy for all cellular reactions in the body. Because treatment with specific microcurrent frequencies can increase ATP production by as much as 500% in damaged tissues, this may help with the recovery process. Depending on the condition, treatment with FSM can “loosen” or soften the muscles, which can help relieve pain and/or stiffness.
