I have titanium implants in my jawline with a metal screw in my chin. Is it safe for me to have a micro current facial?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Implants made from titanium do not seem to present any problems.  However, stainless steel and metal may be problematic if the current is passing directly through it or is strong in the immediate area.  You should discuss your concerns with your doctor who placed the metals in your body.  There are also some really great alternative treatments to microcurrent if you are looking to tighten the skin.  Consider microneedling and/or Sculptra.  Good luck.-Fernanda Heckman, Paramedical Esthetician at Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery
