Microcurrent: The At-Home Face Lift
Stop relying on contour makeup. How to sculpt your cheekbones and jawline using electricity (safely).
What is Microcurrent?
Microcurrent is strength training for your face.
While an LED Mask works on the skin quality (collagen, redness, acne), Microcurrent works on the muscles underneath.
It uses low-voltage electricity to stimulate the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)—the energy fuel your cells use. It also physically contracts the facial muscles, training them to sit higher and tighter. The result? A sculpted jawline and higher cheekbones that no cream can achieve.
What Does It Feel Like?
If you've never used it, it can be intimidating. Here is the reality:
The Twitch
Around the eyes and forehead, you might see your eyebrows jump on their own. This is normal muscle activation.
The Taste
A metallic taste in your mouth is very common when treating the jawline. It's harmless and fades instantly.
The Sting
This means STOP. Stinging means your gel has dried up. Add more gel immediately. It should never hurt.
The "Lift & Glow" Routine
The most common question we get: "Can I use both?"
Yes. In fact, they work better together. Here is the correct order to avoid wasting your expensive products.
Cleanse (Oil-Free)
Oils block microcurrent. Use a simple gel cleanser.
Microcurrent (The Lift)
Apply conductive gel. Do your 5-minute lifting routine.
Why First? Because you need to wash the sticky gel off afterwards.
Rinse & Dry
Wash off the gel. Pat face completely dry.
LED Mask (The Glow)
Strap on your mask for 10 minutes. The light loves clean, dry skin.
Serums & SPF
Now apply your expensive skincare. The ATP boost and increased blood flow will help it absorb.
