microcurrent
Subtle electrical flow
Microcurrent refers to extremely low-level electrical current, typically measured in microamperes—millionths of an ampere.
In medicine and skincare, microcurrent therapy uses these weak electrical signals to stimulate muscles and tissue: microcurrent facials, microcurrent devices for pain relief.
The current is too faint to cause muscle contraction, distinguishing it from stronger electrostimulation treatments.
