Microcurrent has garnered plenty of buzz lately thanks to devotees like nataural holistic doctor Charlene Reeves, who have documented the innovative anti-aging. You’ve probably seen the Instagram and Snapchat stories of faces being stroked and smushed by a set of skinny metal wands; they emit a mild electrical current that stimulates the skin and facial muscles, causing a facelift-like effect.

Microcurrent, it’s a technology that’s been used for over a century to heal soft-tissue damage and other injuries by speeding up cell production and repair—and the results, even after a single appointment, are impressive. “In one 50-minute treatment, microcurrent will lift and contour the face, improve skin tone and texture, promote circulation and collagen production, and diminish fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness,” says facialist Charlene Reeves of Naramata Laser & Skin Tightening. “It’s instant gratification with zero pain.”

The idea of instant gratification is what makes microcurrent a fitting treatment for brides-to-be. “It gives your skin that youthful plumpness, tautness, and glow without any of the residual redness and marks that a traditional extraction facial can cause,” Dr. Reeves says, emphasizing that brides can have microcurrent done the day before the wedding without having to worry about lingering side effects. Plus, since one microcurrent treatment has the power to take five to seven years off your face, there’s really no better (or quicker!) way to reveal tighter, more radiant skin in time for your big day!
