What is a contraindication for using microcurrent treatment?

Microcurrent treatment utilizes low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles, enhance circulation, and improve skin appearance. One primary contraindication for this treatment is the presence of a pacemaker.

Individuals with a pacemaker may be at risk because the electric currents used in microcurrent treatments can interfere with the proper functioning of the device. This could potentially lead to serious health issues. Therefore, professionals must be cautious and avoid microcurrent therapy for clients with any type of electronic medical devices implanted, especially pacemakers.

The other options, while they may present challenges for skin treatment, do not pose the same level of risk as having a pacemaker. Oily skin and dry skin can be addressed with different types of esthetic treatments, and age over 40 is not a contraindication; in fact, microcurrent therapy is often sought after by this demographic for its anti-aging benefits.
