Microcurrent Cheatsheet

This is a free microcurrent cheatsheet containing headed information sections that cover the essential and common topics and FAQs about therapeutic microcurrent stimulation

Microcurrent stimulation usually has some therapeutic benefit. Application of microcurrent to tissue boosts the number of organelles responsible for cellular activities, and increases concentrations of ATP. These changes can result in cell proliferation and protein synthesis, which can be increased when microcurrents are applied to the cells of skin, tendons, cartilage and bone. Varying the frequencies of waveform AC microcurrent has some fundamental results and effects that can easily be understood as explanations for various microcurrent application effects. Higher frequencies result in more electrical energy being transferred per unit time. Higher frequencies also penetrate more dense tissues; generally, complex electrical impedance values of biological tissues decrease with higher frequencies so that more electrical energy penetrates and is actually delivered internally.
