Thanks for yourquestion. Microcurrents probably have a minimal effect on the skin and evenless of an effect on the collagen under the skin. While these are used quitecommonly in spas, we know that if you need collagen stimulation or enhancement,that something more significant, in most instances, will be needed. Make aconsultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and learnwhat can be best done to enhance your skin.
Ameliee: There have been a variety of devices proposed for stimulation of facial collagen production, such as the "galvanic spas", etc. Many of the current fillers, such as Sculptra and Radiesse suggest that they can stimulate facial collagen production and the short term results seem to indicate that they are effective, to a degree. In seeking safe, cost-effective, nonoperative modalities for facial collagen stimulation or rejuvenation, radiofrequency has been used with variable success, Thermage, Fraxel, Viora, Exilis. I have recently brought on Ultherapy, a FDA approved modality for nonsurgical lifting. The micro-focused ultrasound is applied to the deeper layers of the face & gradually promotes collagen stimulation, over 3-4months. In my opinion, this is the "real deal"!
