Radio Frequency Vs Microcurrent Facial: Which is better?
Both Microcurrent Facial and Radio Frequency treatments are the future of non-invasive anti-aging treatments. But are they both the same? Well, no they might produce the same results but they function differently.
In this blog, we will explore the functionalities and the best solution for your skincare routine. So, let’s get started!
Definition:
Microcurrent Facial
Microcurrent facial uses a low level of current which is similar to our own natural body energy current. It stimulates our skin cells to produce more collagen and activates our body’s natural detoxification process to make it look more youthful and sculpted.
Radio Frequency Treatment
Radio-frequency treatment is an aesthetic technique that uses radio frequency energy similar to the one you can find in your wifi or smartphones, to heat skin with the purpose of stimulating cutaneous collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production. The main aim is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin. This treatment needs expert guidance or involvement and can.
Who needs to Avoid These Treatments?

Which one is better?
It is not really an easy choice but after consulting with experts we have found the following comparison and differences between both the methods:
- Radiofrequency Treatment can cause burn on the foreheads and neck areas.
- While Microcurrent Facial can be done at home, Radiofrequency is a little more complex and can only be performed in a clinic
- After Radiofrequency Treatment there is a downtime of 48 hours, which means you can not apply any chemicals and products except for face moisturizer and sunscreen
- Microcurrent Facial Devices have no downtime and you can immediately apply makeup and other products
Due to the above reasons, we personally recommend microcurrent devices over radiofrequency treatment. If you are interested to know more about the benefits and functionality of Microcurrent facial devices then you can write to our in-house expert.
