5 Follow Device Instructions: Carefully read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your
microcurrent device. Each device may have specific guidelines for settings, duration, and techniques.
6 Start with Low Intensity: Begin with the lowest intensity setting to allow your skin to acclimate to the
microcurrent. If your device has adjustable intensity levels, gradually increase as needed.

7 Use Gentle, Upward Strokes: Hold the microcurrent device with the electrodes in contact with your skin and
use gentle, upward strokes. Move the device along the natural contours of your face.
8 Target Acne-Prone Areas: If you are specifically addressing acne, pay attention to areas prone to breakouts.
Focus on these areas with a slightly slower and more concentrated application.
9 Avoid Active Acne Lesions: Avoid using the microcurrent device directly on active, inflamed acne lesions to
prevent further irritation. Instead, work around these areas.
10 Repeat the Process: Continue the microcurrent treatment on each section of your face, following the
recommended pattern provided by the device instructions.

11 Finish with Skincare Products: After completing the microcurrent session, follow up with your regular
skincare routine. Apply a soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
12 Frequency of Use: The frequency of microcurrent sessions may vary. Start with a schedule recommended by
the device manufacturer, and adjust based on your skin’s response. Consistency is key.
13 Clean the Device: Clean the microcurrent device according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures
hygiene and longevity of the device.

14 Monitor Results: Pay attention to any changes in your skin over time. It may take several sessions to see
noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture.
Benefits: Enhances overall skin health, reduces inflammation, and aids the healing process.
- Improved Circulation: Microcurrent stimulates blood circulation, promoting oxygenation and nutrient delivery
to the skin. Improved circulation can support the skin’s natural healing processes, which may be beneficial for
acne-prone skin.
- Reduces Inflammation: Microcurrent has been suggested to have anti-inflammatory effects. By reducing
inflammation, it may contribute to calming redness and irritation associated with acne lesions.
- Lymphatic Drainage: Microcurrent may help facilitate lymphatic drainage, aiding in the removal of toxins and
waste products from the skin. This can be beneficial for individuals with acne by promoting a healthier skin
environment.

- Enhanced Product Absorption: Microcurrent increases the permeability of the skin, allowing for better
absorption of skincare products. Using anti-acne serums or treatments in conjunction with microcurrent may
enhance their effectiveness.
- Muscle Toning and Lifting: While the primary purpose of microcurrent is muscle toning, the lifting effect
can indirectly contribute to the improvement of skin texture. This can be beneficial for individuals with acne
scarring.
6 Chemical Peeling Machine: Administers chemical peels that exfoliate the skin and unclog pores, helping to
remove acne lesions.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels: These peels use mild acids like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
They are generally well-tolerated and require minimal downtime.
Medium Peels: Utilizing stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), medium peels penetrate deeper into the
skin. They may require a longer recovery period.
Deep Peels: Deep peels, often performed by professionals, use strong acids like phenol. They penetrate deep
into the skin and usually involve a more extended recovery period.
How to use
1 Skin Preparation: Cleanse the skin thoroughly to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. Some chemical peels
may require additional prepping, such as using a pre-peel solution to degrease the skin.
2 Protective Measures: Wear protective gear such as gloves and goggles to shield your eyes and hands from
the chemical solution.
