Do dermatologists recommend microcurrent devices?
Microcurrent devices are frequently used by dermatologist and aestheticians as a means to address a myriad of skin concerns using mild electrical currents. The circulation-stimulating treatment helps to tone facial muscles, reduces sagging, puffiness and the appearance of wrinkles, and improves the overall tone and appearance of the complexion.
