Don't expect much from a "Microcurrent" facelift

David Shafer, MD answers: Does the Microcurrent Facelift work?

Also, how long after Juvederm injections (on my cheeks and nasolabial folds) do I have to wait before I can have a Microcurrent Facelift?

Peepsey13,

I do not believe that there are any studies looking at the time between a "Microcurrent" facelift and a the injection of Juvederm. However, I would suggest at least 2 weeks to allow the swelling from the injections to settle if they are applying the "Microcurrent" in the same areas that were injected.

Also, don't expect much from the "Microcurrent" facelift. If you are in need of a facelift, then that is what you should have. In researching this technology, the best I can find is that it says it "preserves youthful appearance." However, I do not see anything convincing me that it would have an appreciable effect similar to a traditional facelift.

Good luck.
