What is TRUE Microcurrent Therapy?
Microcurrent therapy is a treatment that has been around for many years. High-frequency microcurrents are used to plump and tone the skin. The process increases the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) levels by up to 500% within the skin cells, a substance scientists refer to as the energy of life. No living organism can function without adequate levels of ATP and it is literally the energy currency that allows the cells to function.
Microcurrent therapy is often confused with other current therapies, such as Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS, which causes the muscles to pulse/contract) and galvanic current devices that work only to push skincare products into the skin and vibration/massage devices.
At home devices (eg. Myolft, Nuface, GuaSha Stone), although a great way to also raise ATP levels, and or encourage facial lymphatic drainage, will not come close to the capabilities of in-clinic muscle microcurrent treatments. In clinic microcurrent therapy not only improves the look and integrity of the skin, but also releases the facia of the face and re-educates the underlying muscle to maintain bulk and shape. Correct use and consistency is key to gaining and maintaining results.
Only TRUE Microcurrent therapy can raise Adenosine Triphosphate levels (ATP) by up to 500%, which is the holy grail of anti-ageing beauty technology.
Clinic-grade Microcurrent devices, such as the Bio Ultimate Platinum device, can detect the body’s natural current and work synergistically, delivering powerful Microcurrent therapy, strong enough to penetrate the layers of the skin and re-educate the muscles, whilst also repairing and rebuilding the muscles on a cellular level.
The human body is an extremely subtle electrical system, and haphazardly delivering large charges of electricity to the skin surface, as many low quality units do, may cause gross muscle contractions, temporarily resulting in a tightened appearance. However, this approach ultimately fatigues the musculature and can lead to increased muscle laxity and loss of skin tone.
Hence the importance of a quality device is used, and is carried out by a skilled practitioner using authentic Microcurrent muscle technology.
When it comes to professional facial lifting and toning, delivery of True Microcurrent combines with precise kinesthetic movement on the skin surface that helps to literally sculpt the facial landscape is essential.
As a pioneer of microcurrent in the professional skin care industry, Bio-Therapeutic offers multiple options to achieve this kinesthetic lifting.
Jessicat uses the Bio Ultimate Platinum device for all her Microcurrent therapy treatments.

Stimulating the production of Adenosine Triphosphate, the building block of cellular energy and skin resilience.
-
Well hydrated skin that enhances product application and absorption, helping to boost the performance of key skin care products.
The muscles of the face and neck are the scaffolding that the skin sits upon. Keeping these muscles lifted, toned, and full, with therapies such as muscle microcurrent, provides a solid support structure for the skin.
Stage One: Microcurrent Exfoliation
After thoroughly cleansing the skin using Jessicat’s own Enzyme or Supercharger cleanser, Ultrasound Exfoliation is done to remove dead skin cells so that the skin is ready for treatment.
If needed, Dermabrasion therapy is sometimes included, and when required, combined with a light fruit acid-based skin peel for a more polished and smoother appearance.
Stage Two: Green & Red LED Light Rejuvenation
Green LED Light therapy helps to soothe stressed skin and reduce inflammation, followed by red LED light therapy to promote healing and trigger collagen and elastin in the skin.
Full Red LED light can also be incorporated during treatment via the portable Sleeping Bag or full body panel in the clinic.
Stage Three: Microcurrent Muscle Therapy
Microcurrent muscle re-education therapy is administered on the entire face, neck, and chest to repair, rebuild, lift, and sculpt the muscles. Jessicat’s own Hyaluronic Acid, skin-brightening/Niacinamide-based serum, and appropriate moisturiser are applied to the skin to finish the treatment process.
