Top Technologies to Combine with Microcurrent for Extreme Results

BEAR 2 microcurrent toning collection for face and body

Since the mechanisation of work processes and the Industrial Revolution, we've become so used to fragmenting the symbiotic nature of life and inspecting things as singular and isolated elements with no overlap. We separate and test ideas, technologies, organs, and concepts in a vacuum when, in reality, the interactions are where the magic usually happens. 

 

It is no different with one of the most popular rejuvenating treatments today, the very effective and non-invasive zero-recovery microcurrent facial. Combining microcurrent with multiple now widely available beauty and anti-aging technologies can have a synergistic effect, and a lot of these have been packed in hand-held at-home devices, thanks to technology advancements of the past few decades. The whole (as it usually goes) is much greater than the sum of its parts, giving faster results, enhanced benefits, and a surplus of delight and a pleasant surprise on the other side of your skincare investment equation.

Microcurrent Types & Technologies to Use with Microcurrent Therapy

Microcurrent devices have made themselves at home on everybody's lips and skincare routines for their effectiveness in enhancing skin health and appearance. However, their potential is significantly amplified when combined with other innovative technologies. So, which common technologies can complement your microcurrent therapy to address a wider range of skincare concerns, and which microcurrent types benefit skin rejuvenation the most?

  • Microcurrent & LED Therapy
  • Microcurrent & Radio Frequency
  • Microcurrent & Nanocurrent 
  • Microcurrent & EMS 
  • Ultrasonic Microcurrent 
  • Galvanic Microcurrent 
  • Frequency Specific Microcurrent 
  • Ionic Microcurrent 
     

1. Microcurrent & LED Therapy

While microcurrent stimulates facial muscles and promotes collagen production, LED therapy targets specific skin issues such as inflammation, acne, pigmentation, dullness, and aging. The combination provides a holistic treatment that lifts, tones, and enhances the skin’s overall texture and clarity.

 

Recommendation: 

FOREO UFO™ 3 LED, NIR, and red light therapy device

Clinically proven to reduce wrinkles in a week, UFO™ 3 LED uses new Hyper-Infusion technology to push the active ingredients from your precious skincare deeper into the skin where they can do more good. Concentrated near-infrared and red LED therapy complement your microcurrent toning by smoothing out skin, and evening out skin tone and texture.
 

FAQ™ 202 Anti-Aging Silicone LED Face Mask

This is a new beauty from FOREO's sister brand, FAQ™ Swiss, fusing the precision of new technologies and extremely innovative product design to create a flexible, lightweight mask that adapts to all faces, like a comfortable second skin. The wireless LED mask features 7 LED lights + NIR (near-infrared) therapy that deeply tackles signs of aging. Proven to reduce wrinkles and improve firmness and elasticity in only two weeks, FAQ™ 202 is a perfect addition to your microcurrent treatments.

2. Microcurrent & Radio Frequency

Radiofrequency (RF) technology complements microcurrent by providing intense, deeper tissue warming, which can enhance collagen remodeling. This combination of anti-aging technologies can significantly improve skin elasticity and firmness.

 

Recommendation:

FAQ™ 101 Clinical Anti-aging treatment


For those who think EMS is not for them (as featured in the stronger FAQ™ 102 brother) and would like the novice levels of red LED therapy and radio-frequency (RF), FAQ™ 101 delivers. The elegant device accelerates collagen production, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and renews the skin. It is very customizable, easily adapting to your personal needs. 

 

3. Microcurrent & Nanocurrent 

Nanocurrent technology is basically the same as microcurrent technology, but it operates at a lower frequency to target cellular rejuvenation. This combination is most effective for people struggling with skin texture and hydration. The synergy of these technologies can result in a plumper, more youthful complexion.

 

4. Microcurrent & EMS 

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology targets the musculature and works by contracting muscles to promote more intense toning. With microcurrent therapy, EMS can enhance the lifting effect and contouring results on the face and body.

 

Recommendation:
 

FAQ™ 102 EMS, RF & LED Face Wand

Clinical Anti-aging treatment in a single wand. This is a financial investment but offers the combined concentrated power of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), radio-frequency (RF) & red LED light therapy to key locations on the face & neck in a single, precisely calibrated device. Complement microcurrent muscle toning to tighten sagging visibly, boost collagen to reduce wrinkles, and revitalize.

5. Ultrasonic Microcurrent 

Ultrasonic technology uses high-frequency sound waves to promote better product absorption and enhance microcurrent treatments. This combination can lead to improved absorption of active ingredients to reach deeper layers of the skin. It's worth thinking about if you don’t want to waste your precious expensive skincare on this skin surface.

6. Galvanic Microcurrent 

Galvanic technology uses direct current to help with product penetration and skin detoxification. When used with microcurrent therapy, galvanic devices can help cleanse and prepare the skin, maximizing the benefits of subsequent treatments.

 

7. Frequency Specific Microcurrent 

These devices deliver specific frequencies tailored to individual skin concerns, such as inflammation, pain relief, or muscle relaxation. When combined with frequency-specific microcurrent technology, they result in more personalized treatment.

 

8. Ionic Microcurrent 

Ionic microcurrent devices are based on iontophoresis (a process of ions passing deeply through the skin), allowing for better absorption of serums and skincare products. This enhances the microcurrent’s lifting and toning effects and ensures maximum benefits from topical treatments.
