What are Microcurrents?

Microcurrents are extremely low-level electrical currents delivered in the microamp range. A microamp is one millionth of an ampere (or amp), which places microcurrent therapy far below the intensity used in most conventional electrical stimulation devices.

What makes Microcurrents so effective?

In practical terms, microcurrent therapy works at levels similar to the body’s own natural electrical signals. These signals are involved in tissue repair, cellular communication, and neuromuscular coordination.

Key characteristics of microcurrent therapy include:

• Current measured in microamps, not milliamps
• Often sub-sensory or barely perceptible
• Designed to support biological processes rather than force muscle contraction
• Typically used over longer sessions or repeated treatments

This is what separates microcurrents from modalities that aim to create strong sensations or visible muscle movement.
