In recent years, as the Internet penetration rate in my country has gradually increased, the speed of information dissemination has accelerated, medical beauty knowledge has gradually become popular, female consumers have gradually awakened to medical beauty awareness, and the demand for medical beauty has continued to grow. As one of the medical beauty methods, laser beauty equipment has increased market demand due to its high cost-effectiveness, safety and speed. From the perspective of market size, the overall market size of my country's laser beauty equipment industry is on an upward trend. Specifically, from 2015 to 2021, the market size of China's laser beauty equipment industry increased from 1.375 billion yuan to 3.332 billion yuan; in 2022, due to insufficient downstream consumption, the market size decreased by 3.96% year-on-year; in 2023, industry demand gradually recovered, and the market size reached 3.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.38%; it is estimated that the market size will grow to about 3.8 billion yuan in 2024.

microcurrent therapy can help improve the appearance of sagging skin by stimulating facial muscles and boosting collagen and elastin production. Here’s how it works and what to expect:

How Microcurrent Helps Sagging Skin:

1. Muscle Stimulation:

   • Microcurrent delivers low-level electrical currents that mimic the body’s natural bioelectricity, causing facial muscles to contract and "exercise."

   • This can lead to tighter, more toned skin over time, reducing the appearance of sagging.

2. Collagen & Elastin Production:

   • Microcurrent may enhance ATP (cellular energy) production, which supports fibroblast activity—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis.

   • Improved collagen can lead to firmer, more lifted skin.

3. Lymphatic Drainage:

   • It can help reduce puffiness and fluid retention, making the face appear more sculpted.

Effectiveness & Results:

• Temporary Lifting Effect: Some users see an immediate (but subtle) lift after a single treatment due to muscle toning.

• Long-Term Benefits: With consistent use (2-3 times per week for several weeks), microcurrent may improve skin elasticity and firmness.

• Best for Mild to Moderate Sagging: It works well for early signs of aging but may not replace surgical options (like a facelift) for severe sagging.

Limitations:

• Results are gradual and require maintenance.

• Not permanent—regular sessions are needed to sustain effects.

• Works best when combined with good skincare (retinoids, peptides) and healthy lifestyle habits (hydration, sun protection).

Professional vs. At-Home Devices:

• Professional treatments (e.g., FaceGym, NuFACE Pro) offer stronger currents and more noticeable results.

• At-home devices (e.g., NuFACE Mini, Foreo Bear) are more affordable but require consistent use.

Final Verdict:

Microcurrent can be a non-invasive, temporary solution for mild sagging skin, especially when used regularly. For significant lifting, it’s best paired with radiofrequency (RF), red light therapy, or professional treatments.
