Microcurrent Therapy

Ultra-low-level electrical currents that mirror the body's own bioelectrical signals — stimulating cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue healing after surgery.

Healing at the cellular level.

Microcurrent therapy delivers electrical currents measured in millionths of an ampere — so subtle they are imperceptible to the patient, yet profoundly effective at the cellular level. These micro-level currents mirror the body's own bioelectrical signals, the same frequencies the nervous system uses to communicate with tissue and coordinate repair.

The primary mechanism is ATP stimulation. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of every cell in the body — it powers protein synthesis, cellular repair, and all metabolic processes. Research has demonstrated that microcurrent therapy can increase ATP production by up to 500%, dramatically accelerating the body's natural healing capacity.

In the post-surgical context, this translates to faster tissue repair, reduced inflammation, improved circulation to healing structures, and meaningful pain relief — all without medication, downtime, or discomfort. Microcurrent is particularly effective when applied during the critical early healing window, when the body's repair processes are most active and most responsive to support.

The treatment process

01

Assessment

Your therapist evaluates your surgical sites, healing progress, and areas of inflammation or discomfort to map the most effective treatment protocol.

02

Electrode Placement

Small, conductive electrodes or probes are positioned at specific points around the treatment area. The placement is precise — targeting the tissue layers most in need of repair.

03

Current Delivery

Ultra-low electrical currents are delivered at frequencies calibrated to the specific tissue type being treated — muscle, fascia, scar tissue, or skin. The sensation is imperceptible; most clients simply feel relaxed.

04

Protocol Adjustment

Frequencies and intensities are adjusted throughout the session based on tissue response. Your therapist monitors changes in tissue texture and conductivity to optimize the treatment in real time.

—

Can be combined with lymphatic drainage in the same session for enhanced results

—

Ongoing sessions through the remodeling phase (up to 12 months) continue to improve scar quality

Common questions

Is microcurrent therapy safe after surgery?

Yes — microcurrent therapy is non-invasive, painless, and FDA-cleared. The currents used are far below any threshold that could cause tissue damage. We do not apply electrodes directly over open incisions; treatment is positioned around surgical sites to support healing without interfering with the wound.

What does microcurrent therapy feel like?

Most clients feel nothing at all — the currents are below the threshold of sensation. Some people notice a very mild tingling. The experience is generally deeply relaxing, and many clients fall asleep during treatment.

How is this different from TENS therapy?

TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) uses milliamp-level currents primarily to block pain signals. Microcurrent operates at microamp levels — a thousand times lower — and works at the cellular level to stimulate ATP production and tissue repair. The mechanisms and outcomes are fundamentally different.

How many sessions will I need?

For post-surgical recovery, most clients benefit from 6–10 sessions in the first 4–6 weeks, with additional sessions through the remodeling phase as needed. Your therapist will assess your progress and adjust the protocol accordingly.

Can microcurrent be combined with other post-op treatments?

Yes — microcurrent pairs exceptionally well with lymphatic drainage, red light therapy, and scar restructuring. Many clients receive combination sessions that address multiple aspects of recovery simultaneously.
