Can microcurrent facial devices have negative effects on thyroid or thyroid function?

June 8, 2020
Asked By:Plucky28982 in Elk Grove, CA

Hello, I was looking into purchasing a microcurrent device for my face. I did read somewhere that it can possibly cause an overstimulation of the thyroid. I don't have any health issues but I am hesitant in buying the device if it will cause side effects. I am still pretty young but wanted to prevent and define my face a bit.
