Microcurrent facials use tiny, electrical waves to go deep beneath the skin’s surface. They’re less expensive, injection-free, and painless. And now, new microcurrent face masks achieve anti-aging results anywhere, making them more accessible than a dermatologist visit. Many refer to microcurrent face masks as the “natural botox alternative” that promotes your best skin ever.
Anti-aging pursuits are common with every age group, from 20-somethings to senior adults. There are so many options out there that it can be hard to know what’s best.
But microcurrent facials come with tried and true results. Microcurrent technology is science-based and research-backed, which means the results are more than fancy packaging or empty promises.
If you’re still wondering, “but what is a microcurrent facial?” let’s look at the facts. We’ll go over what microcurrent means, how it works, and what it can do for anti-aging.

What is a microcurrent facial?
A microcurrent facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that:
- Stimulates your facial muscles to tone and tighten — think about it as a workout for your face
- Boosts collagen development
- Encourages ATP growth
The microcurrent technology encourages ATP and collagen growth while training your muscles to contract and become more defined. -
How does it work?
You can get a microcurrent facial through a professional like an aesthetician or dermatologist. There are also at-home machines. The machine delivers small electrical currents into the skin to promote tightness and growth. Most people notice results immediately after the first treatment.

What are the benefits of microcurrent technology for the skin?
Microcurrent facials work to tighten and de-age the skin without the pain or cost of procedures like botox. They promote a firmer, brighter, more lifted skin through painless, low-grade electrical currents.
Microcurrent facials can lead to:- Bouncier, firmer skin
- Finer definition in the cheekbones
- Lifting of the eyebrows
- Erased aging signs
- More defined jawline
- Fewer wrinkles, especially in the forehead region
- Fast results with no recovery time
Most people feel a slight tingly sensation, while some barely feel anything. -
What does a microcurrent facial cost?
The price of a microcurrent facial depends on where you go or how you perform the treatment. Microcurrent facials can cost anywhere from $200 to $500 with a professional. At-home devices are around the same range but often slightly less expensive.
While microcurrent facials have many pros over botox and other anti-aging methods, the cost can add up. Also, getting into the dermatologist’s office every other week can be a time-consuming hassle.

What skin concerns are microcurrent masks most effective for?

Microcurrent facials can lead to:- Botox fillers
- Micro-needling

How often should you get a microcurrent facial?
As you receive each microcurrent facial, the next treatment one builds upon the last. Maintenance is important. Skincare experts recommend that you receive microcurrent treatments at least once per month for the best results. If you can do it every two weeks, that’s even better.
With microcurrent face masks, you can get a facial more often — and it’s cost-effective and convenient. Try using a mask once per week right before you go to bed. Eventually, you’ll move on to two times per week for the most dramatic results.

How long does a microcurrent facial last? Are results permanent?
No skincare treatment is permanent. The keyword is maintenance. It’s all about what you can realistically do based on your lifestyle and budget. As we mentioned above, it’s best to continue facials anywhere from a weekly to monthly basis. With face masks, you can give yourself treatments more often with
Think about your skincare like other healthy habits. You go to the gym to build lean muscle, keep your heart healthy, and feel good about yourself. You can’t have one gym session and call it a day. You must keep going back to maintain your results.
Skincare is the same way. Plus, you can start early with preventative skin care methods. Microcurrent face masks work for all ages because they create younger-looking skin now and into the future.
-
Are there microcurrent facial side effects or concerns?
Side effects are unlikely. In rare cases, people mention fatigue, drowsiness, or nausea after in-office treatments, but these typically go away within 24 hours. However, sheet masks do not come with the same concerns since they don’t involve electrical or battery-operated machines or stressful doctor visits.
