Low vs. High Microcurrent on the Face: Which Setting Actually Reduces Wrinkles?

Microcurrent therapy has become a go-to technology for visibly smoothing wrinkles, lifting facial contours, and improving skin tone—without needles or downtime. But one of the most common questions is: Should you use low or high microcurrent settings on your face to see the best wrinkle-reducing results?

The answer lies in understanding how different microcurrent intensities interact with facial muscles and skin cells.

What Is Microcurrent Therapy?

Microcurrent uses low-level electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural bioelectric signals. These currents stimulate facial muscles, increase ATP (cellular energy) production, and encourage collagen and elastin support—key factors in wrinkle reduction and firmer-looking skin.

Devices like the VisaSculpt at-home microcurrent device allow users to safely customize intensity levels, making it easier than ever to tailor treatments to your skin’s needs.

Low Microcurrent Settings: Gentle Wrinkle Smoothing & Skin Rejuvenation

Low microcurrent settings are ideal for beginners, sensitive skin, or daily maintenance treatments.

Benefits of low microcurrent:

• Gently stimulates facial muscles without overstimulation

• Helps soften fine lines and early wrinkles

• Improves circulation and skin luminosity

• Supports consistent collagen-boosting over time

Low settings work by encouraging cellular repair and ATP production, which helps skin look smoother, more refreshed, and subtly lifted. When used consistently with a device like VisaSculpt, low-level microcurrent is excellent for maintaining youthful skin and preventing deeper wrinkle formation.

High Microcurrent Settings: Visible Lifting & Deeper Wrinkle Reduction

Higher microcurrent settings deliver stronger muscle stimulation and are best used once skin has acclimated to treatment.

Benefits of higher microcurrent:

• Actively tones and lifts facial muscles

• Helps reduce the appearance of deeper wrinkles

• Improves jawline, cheek, and brow definition

• Provides more immediate tightening effects

High settings work deeper in the facial muscles, helping “re-educate” them into a lifted position. With VisaSculpt’s adjustable intensity, higher microcurrent can be used strategically to target areas with more pronounced sagging or wrinkles—while still remaining safe for at-home use.

Which Setting Is Best for Wrinkle Reduction?

The most effective microcurrent routine combines both low and high settings:

• Start low to stimulate cells, boost collagen support, and prep the skin

• Gradually increase intensity to tone muscles and visibly lift wrinkle-prone areas

Consistency is key. Using VisaSculpt regularly—just a few minutes per treatment—can lead to smoother skin, improved elasticity, and a noticeable reduction in wrinkles over time.

The Bottom Line

Low microcurrent focuses on skin health and wrinkle prevention, while high microcurrent targets muscle lifting and deeper wrinkle reduction. With a customizable device like VisaSculpt, you don’t have to choose—you can personalize your routine for maximum, visible anti-aging results.
