Microcurrent (microcurrent) refers to a small electric current. A microcurrent beauty device is a device that can transmit microcurrent to your skin and muscles.
Microcurrent Beauty Device Principle:
From a medical perspective, microcurrent was originally used to treat muscle atrophy. Muscles involuntarily contract under the stimulation of microcurrent, increasing muscle volume and tension. It claims to increase collagen production by reaching the dermis with microcurrent, promoting ATP proliferation, and thus stimulating collagen production. However, compared to radiofrequency devices (such as Firstman radiofrequency beauty devices), microcurrent has a stronger immediate effect but relatively poor sustainability.
What is a radiofrequency beauty device?
The application of radiofrequency in facial rejuvenation, such as wrinkle reduction, is also known as “radio wave facelift” or “ice radio wave facelift”. Radiofrequency wrinkle reduction involves emitting radio waves into the subcutaneous tissue through a radiofrequency treatment device, generating heat through the natural resistance movement of subcutaneous tissue. It utilizes the principle that collagen fibers in the dermis immediately contract at temperatures between 55-70°C.
The radiofrequency facelift principle has two effects: skin lifting and collagen regeneration. While collagen immediately contracts, it also stimulates the secretion of new collagen fibers in the dermis, lifting the skin’s framework again, increasing the thickness and density of the dermis, filling in wrinkles, and improving sagging. The effects of a radiofrequency wrinkle reduction treatment last for 2-3 years.
Radiofrequency Beauty Device Principle:
During operation, a radiofrequency beauty device emits electromagnetic waves to reach the subcutaneous tissue. The resistance of the subcutaneous tissue to the electromagnetic waves causes the water molecules in the tissue to vibrate rapidly, resulting in friction between ions of different sizes, masses, charges, and speeds or with the surrounding medium, generating heat. When the temperature reaches 55-70°C, collagen fibers in the dermis contract and stimulate the production of new collagen fibers in the dermis.
Through medical verification, it can be said that radiofrequency is a relatively safe and effective method of cosmetic wrinkle reduction. Currently, radiofrequency beauty devices on the market are generally divided into three types: monopolar radiofrequency, bipolar radiofrequency, and multipolar radiofrequency.
Radiofrequency technology relies on the thermal effect on the treatment area. Only when the dermis reaches the optimal temperature for stimulating collagen protein regeneration can significant wrinkle reduction and skin tightening effects be achieved.
If the radiofrequency energy is too high, it may also cause thermal damage to the skin. Therefore, controllable radiofrequency energy is the core technology of radiofrequency beauty devices. Controllable radiofrequency energy, controllable skin surface temperature, and controllable skin tissue resistance are the key factors in minimizing the risk of skin thermal damage and maximizing the anti-aging effects of radiofrequency.
Difference between Microcurrent and Radiofrequency Beauty Devices:
The main difference between microcurrent and radiofrequency beauty devices lies in their functionality and principles, but both can achieve the effect of wrinkle reduction.
Microcurrent beauty devices primarily work by supplying the body’s natural electrical energy to activate cells and restore skin elasticity.
Radiofrequency primarily targets collagen in the dermis and promotes collagen synthesis through heating, resulting in skin tightening effects.
The principle of radiofrequency beauty devices is to heat the dermis layer, promote collagen growth, and smooth wrinkles. Radiofrequency acts on collagen in the dermis, promoting collagen synthesis through heating and firming the skin.
Microcurrent targets the muscles in the subcutaneous tissue and simulates cellular bioelectricity, promoting the production of more ATP in the facial muscles. ATP is the energy required for collagen synthesis, thereby increasing collagen, tightening the skin, and promoting lymphatic detoxification.
RF (Radio Frequency): It is recommended to use it no more than 3 to 4 times per week.
Microcurrent: It can be used daily.
Both microcurrent and radiofrequency beauty devices have relatively good effects.
