Microcurrent therapy at Symmetrica

Less puffiness and tension, a fresher look, and maintained facial contours—all without injections, heat, or downtime.

Microcurrent therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that works not only on the skin but also on soft tissues and muscle tone.
At Symmetrica, the procedure is not limited to the face alone. The protocol includes the neck, and depending on individual needs, our specialists also treat the submandibular, cervical-collar, and upper thoracic areas. This is especially important when facial appearance is affected by puffiness, fluid retention, and muscle tension in the neck.

When to consider microcurrents

A tired-looking face isn't always just about the condition of your skin. Puffiness, fluid retention, reduced soft tissue tone, and constant neck tension can all affect how defined and fresh your face looks.

Microcurrent therapy is recommended for:

arrow

facial puffiness;

arrow

an undefined jawline;

arrow

reduced soft tissue tone;

arrow

a dull and tired appearance;

arrow

tension in the neck and shoulder area;

arrow

changes in the submandibular area;

arrow

sensitive skin that cannot tolerate aggressive procedures;

arrow

the need to maintain muscle tone;

arrow

supporting individual patients during orthodontic treatment.

What to expect after the procedure

Less puffiness

Supporting venous and lymphatic drainage helps reduce fluid retention.

A fresher look

The face can look more rested after just the first visit.

More defined contours

Working with soft tissue tone helps maintain the facial oval.

Improved skin tone

Supporting local microcirculation contributes to a fresher appearance.

Reduced tension

The treatment can be applied not only to the face but also to the muscles of the neck and shoulder girdle.

Maintaining muscle tone symmetry

The program can account for differences in activity levels across specific muscle groups.

Reduced puffiness and a more rested appearance are often noticeable after just one session. Improvements in muscle tone and facial contours are cumulative, so a more lasting result is achieved through a full course of treatments.

How microcurrents work

Microcurrent therapy uses low-level electrical impulses. A specialist adjusts the settings based on the anatomical area and the specific goals to be achieved.

Muscle tone

Microcurrents can support the activity of weakened muscles or help manage excessive tension.

Microcirculation

Local blood circulation and tissue nourishment are supported.

Lymphatic drainage

The procedure helps address intercellular fluid stagnation and puffiness.

Skin condition

Improving microcirculation and soft tissue function can make the skin look fresher.

Why Symmetrica works beyond just the face

The face, neck, and shoulder girdle are connected by muscles, fascia, blood vessels, and fluid drainage pathways.
That is why working only on the jawline does not always fully solve the problem.
The Symmetrica protocol may include:
arrow

the face;

arrow

the submandibular area;

arrow

the front and sides of the neck;

arrow

the neck and collar area;

arrow

the upper chest area.

Working with these areas helps reduce muscle tension and creates better conditions for venous and lymphatic drainage from the face.
Important: microcurrent therapy works with soft tissues and is not a treatment for the spine or musculoskeletal disorders.

Microcurrents for various needs

Puffy face

Focus on drainage techniques and fluid outflow.

Reduced tone

The program is aimed at maintaining the physiological tone of soft tissues.

Tense neck

The treatment includes the neck, collar area, and, if indicated, the upper chest area.

Sensitive skin

The procedure does not involve punctures, surface damage, or aggressive heating.

If the skin does not tolerate intensive procedures well

You don't have to damage the skin to address muscle tone and puffiness. Microcurrents do not require punctures, resurfacing, or intense heat, making them suitable for programs designed for sensitive and reactive skin.

The specialist selects:

arrow

current intensity;

arrow

duration;

arrow

sequence of zones;

arrow

conductive medium;

arrow

number of sessions.

Before the procedure, the condition of the protective barrier and the presence of active inflammation are always assessed.

Microcurrents during orthodontic treatment

During orthodontic treatment, the position of the teeth changes, and the function of the masticatory muscles gradually adapts.

At Symmetrica, microcurrent therapy can be used as part of functional support when a patient is experiencing tension in:

arrow

masseter muscles;

arrow

lower third of the face;

arrow

neck;

arrow

cervical-collar zone.

The program is selected individually and coordinated with your orthodontist.

Microcurrents do not accelerate tooth movement or shorten the duration of orthodontic treatment. They work on soft tissues and muscle tension during the adaptation period.

How microcurrent therapy works

STEP 1
Tissue assessment

The specialist assesses puffiness, muscle tone, areas of tension, and checks for contraindications.

STEP 2
Cleansing

Makeup, SPF, and impurities are removed from the skin.

STEP 3
Conductive medium

A conductive medium is applied to the skin, which is necessary for the electrodes to function.

STEP 4
Facial treatment

The specialist systematically treats the areas according to the selected program.

STEP 5
Neck and other areas

Depending on your needs, the treatment may continue on the neck, jawline, and cervical-collar area.

STEP 6
Finishing care

The conductive gel is removed, and skincare products are applied according to your skin's needs.

What you will feel

The procedure is generally comfortable. You may feel a slight tingling or mild pulses; some people barely feel the current at all.

How long it takes

30–60 minutes, depending on the number of areas and the specific program. A separate preliminary consultation is usually not required, as an assessment of your skin condition and potential contraindications can be performed during your appointment. If you have a chronic illness, an implanted device, or any questionable contraindications, prior clearance from your doctor is required.

How many sessions are needed

Microcurrents provide a quick visual effect for puffiness, but improvements in muscle tone are cumulative.

4–8 sessions

Estimated basic course.

≈ once a week

Typical interval during the course.

Once a month

Maintenance treatment after the course.

After the first session, you will most likely notice reduced puffiness and a more refreshed appearance. Improvements in muscle tone and facial contours develop gradually.

What microcurrents can be combined with

Microcurrent therapy can be performed as a standalone treatment or as part of a skincare program.
Ultrasonic cleansing

Cleansing and microcurrent care can be used in the same program depending on the skin condition.

Non-invasive mesotherapy

Microcurrents themselves can be used as a physical method for the non-invasive delivery of active ingredients, so these approaches combine well both conceptually and in skincare programs.

Carboxytherapy
QUALITY GUARANTEE

It can be part of a comprehensive care program, but the sequence and feasibility of performing it on the same day depend on the specific protocol and skin reactivity.

Microneedling
RECOVERY TIME

After microneedling, the skin barrier is temporarily compromised, so it is advisable to maintain an interval between procedures.

When microcurrents should not be used

The main contraindications include:
arrow

pacemakers and other implanted electronic devices;

arrow

epilepsy and seizure disorders;

arrow

pregnancy;

arrow

active oncological disease;

arrow

thrombosis and thrombophlebitis;

arrow

metal plates or pins directly in the treatment area;

arrow

active infections and inflammatory processes in the treatment area;

arrow

open wounds and significant skin damage.

What about Botox and fillers?

Microcurrents should not be performed immediately after injections. We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks; please confirm the exact interval with the practitioner who performed your injections.
If you have cardiovascular diseases, severe chronic conditions, recent surgeries, or other medical concerns, please consult your doctor before undergoing the procedure.

Customized treatment protocols

Before any procedure, Symmetrica specialists assess the current state of your face. The specialist evaluates:

arrow

puffiness;

arrow

muscle tone in various zones;

arrow

the submandibular area;

arrow

neck tension;

arrow

the condition of the skin barrier;

arrow

sensitivity;

arrow

orthodontic treatment, if applicable.

Therefore, for one patient, the focus might be on lymphatic drainage and puffiness, for another on muscle tone, and for a third on addressing the neck and masseter muscles.

Our goal is to tailor a program that addresses the specific factors affecting your facial appearance.

Microcurrent FAQ

Does it hurt?

No. You might feel a slight tingling or mild pulses, but the procedure is generally comfortable. The intensity can be adjusted for each area.

How long does a session last?

Approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas and the program.

How many sessions are required?

As a general guideline, expect 4–8 sessions over 4–8 weeks. Once the course is complete, maintenance sessions can be scheduled approximately once a month.

When will I see results?

A reduction in puffiness and a more refreshed appearance can be noticeable after just the first session. Improvements in skin tone and contours build up over the course of the treatment.

Is any downtime required?

No. Microcurrents do not damage the skin's surface, so you can immediately return to work, meetings, and your other daily activities after the procedure.

Are microcurrents suitable for sensitive skin?

They can be, as the procedure does not involve punctures or intense heat. Before the session, a specialist will assess the condition of your skin barrier and check for active inflammation.

Who should avoid microcurrent therapy?

It is not recommended for individuals with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices, epilepsy, pregnancy, active cancer, thrombosis/thrombophlebitis, and certain other conditions. If you have chronic health issues, it is best to consult with your doctor before undergoing the procedure.

Can I get microcurrent therapy after Botox or fillers?

Not immediately. You should wait at least two weeks, though the exact interval should be determined by the specialist who performed your injection procedure.

Can microcurrent therapy be combined with other treatments?

Yes, it can be part of a treatment plan alongside ultrasonic cleansing, needle-free mesotherapy, and other skincare procedures.
