Microcurrents
Microcurrents characterize significantly lower values of amplitudes in comparison with traditional currents used
in electrotherapy. Unipolar and bipolar currents are used in a therapy. The applied amplitudes are so low that
they are not felt by the patient, and the signal is a subliminal stimulation (it does not stimulate the nerves).
There is also significantly reduced risk of side effects like irritation, skin burns and damages as well as discomfort
of current flow felt by some patients.
Microcurrent restores the biological, electrical balance of tissues, which is necessary to stimulate healing
processes.
