Microcurrents and myostimulation

Microcurrents and myostimulation

If you are considering home skin care with electrical stimulation, it is important to understand the difference between microcurrent and myostimulation (EMS). Both technologies work with current, but they produce different effects

Microcurrents: lifting and skin renewal

Microcurrents are low-frequency currents that gently affect the skin:

✔ Improve cellular metabolism
✔ Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin
✔ Reduce wrinkles and pigmentation
✔ Increase the conductivity of skin care products
✔ Improve lymphatic drainage

Who is it suitable for?

Ideal for sensitive skin, preventing aging, combating puffiness and restoring elasticity.

Myostimulation (EMS): training for facial muscles

How does it work?

EMS uses high-frequency currents that make muscles contract as if they were training:

✔ Tightens the oval of the face
✔ Reduces jowls and double chin
✔ Improves lymphatic drainage

Who is it for?
Those who want a quick lifting effect and muscle strengthening.

Why is EMS not recommended for the forehead area?

Electromyostimulation (EMS) can really do wonders for the lower and middle part of the face, but you need to be careful with the forehead area. Here's why:

Anatomical features
The skin in the forehead area is thinner. Intense contractions can lead to:
- Muscle strain
- Appearance of new expression wrinkles
- Discomfort

Alternative solutions
For the forehead, the following are better suited:
- Microcurrents
- RF lifting

WAU expert opinion

«Microcurrents and EMS complement each other perfectly. Microcurrents improve skin quality, and EMS strengthens muscles, creating a natural lifting effect. For maximum results, they can be combined: for example, use MIO 2 for daily care, and VIA for intensive tightening 2-3 times a week»

Microcurrent and botox

Microcurrent and botox

Want to prolong the youth of your skin and reduce the number of visits to the cosmetologist? Then you should learn how to competently combine two powerful anti-age methods. Let's figure out whether it is possible to combine Botox and microcurrents to get the maximum effect without unpleasant surprises. And most importantly - which modern devices with microcurrents really work and help maintain beauty and youth. How does microcurrent affect Botox? Scientific fact: microcurrents accelerate metabolic processes, enhance blood circulation and lymph flow. How does this affect appearance:✔ Improves complexion✔ Tightens the oval✔ Stimulates collagen productionBut there is a nuance: accelerated metabolism can promote the elimination of botulinum toxin. Cosmetologists recommend: after the first procedures, observe the skin's reaction. If Botox begins to "wear off" earlier than usual, reduce the frequency of microcurrent procedures. Optimal combination scheme of Botox and microcurrents Preparatory stage - before Botox:✔ 5-7 days before: a course of microcurrents to improve skin quality✔ 2 days before: stop any hardware procedures2. The first 14 days after injections:✖ Complete refusal from microcurrents✖ Avoid massages and active cosmetic procedures3. Maintenance phase - after 2 weeks:✔ Start with 1 session per week✔ Use minimal intensity✔ Optimally - evening procedures before bedtime Two home assistants with microcurrents: 1. MIO2 NEW — «first aid» for the face Technologies:- Microcurrents 0.3-0.5 mA — safe after Botox- Heating up to 42°C — enhances penetration of care products- Vibration — relieves swelling Ideal for express tightening before important events 2. MAMI — smart anti-age Benefits:- Red light (630 nm) — stimulates collagen and elastin production- Blue diodes — inflammation prevention- Mixed mode — comprehensive care- 3 levels of microcurrent intensity — weak, medium and strong for an individual approachResults with regular use: reduced inflammation, reduced wrinkles and an even complexion When should you be more careful? It is worth postponing the microcurrent procedure:- The first 14 days after injections- If the integrity of the skin is damagedSigns that you should wait with microcurrents:- Excessive muscle mobility in the correction area- Appearance of irregularities- Too rapid weakening of the effect Conclusion: an individual approach is the key to success. The combination of Botox and microcurrents will help achieve a lifting effect, but only with the right approach. The main rule is to take into account the individual characteristics of your skin and observe the reaction to the procedures. How to do it right: 1️. Conduct a test: after Botox has fully “set up”, do 1 test microcurrent procedure2️. Evaluate the reaction within a week3️. Choose a rhythm: optimally 2-3 times a week
