And then some funkier questions, such as: Can you use BEAR™ 2 body on your face? Here are the answers to the most common questions regarding FOREO’s microcurrent facial devices for the face, eyes, lips, and body.
How Does Microcurrent Work?
A microcurrent facial targets muscles beneath the skin, where traditional skincare cannot reach. Unlike other body muscles, facial muscles connect directly to the skin. At-home electrotherapy facial devices work by sending electrical currents between positively and negatively charged conducting spheres. For the current to flow effectively, both spheres must contact the skin, and a conductive serum or gel is necessary. As the current passes through facial muscles, it helps tone and firm the skin.
Do Facial Toning Devices Work?
Yes, microcurrent facial toning devices work, and here’s why: When applied, microcurrent stimulates skin cells, leading to stronger, healthier tissue, similar to muscle training after lifting weights. A facial toning treatment offers multiple benefits beyond lifting—it enhances collagen and elastin production, stimulates microcirculation, and delivers oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. These effects firm the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, plump the complexion, accelerate renewal, fade pigmentation, and boost radiance, making it a popular choice for non-invasive anti-aging solutions.
Microcurrent facials also increase ATP production in cells by up to 400%. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) serves as cellular energy, playing a crucial role in skin health and aging. As we age, ATP production declines, making cells less capable of repairing damage and defending against stress. Stimulating ATP through a microcurrent facial boosts collagen and elastin production, reducing wrinkles and sagging for youthful-looking skin. Regular treatments help maintain long-term results, ensuring a firmer, lifted, and revitalized complexion.
