Over time our bodies can lose some of their elasticity and firmness for various reasons. Factors such as ageing, gravity, poor nutrition and inactivity can affect the skin and muscle structure. Today there are non-surgical options that people consider for body shaping. Micro Plus is one of the best-known of them.
What Is Micro Plus?
Micro Plus is an electro-stimulation device that combines micro-current and galvanic current and is used in body-shaping sessions that aim to firm the appearance of the skin and work the muscles.
The device works by stimulating the muscles. This stimulation is similar to the muscle activity of exercise. Individual responses to the sessions differ, and results vary from person to person.
Where Is Micro Plus Used?
Micro Plus is most often used for body shaping and firming. It can be applied to areas such as the neck, abdomen, back, buttocks and legs. Regular sessions are usually planned together with a specialist.
Cellulite, which gives the skin an "orange peel" look, is a concern for many people. Some people who attend regular sessions notice a difference in how the skin looks, but the response varies and the device is not a treatment for any medical condition. Stimulating the muscles of the buttock area may give a toned look without surgery.
Support for Health and Sport
Micro Plus is not used only for aesthetic aims. Muscle stimulation of this kind is also of interest to people who play sport. For people who cannot exercise, or who have to limit it, a doctor or physiotherapist may talk about muscle stimulation as one part of their routine. Any use during rehabilitation, for example after surgery or an injury, should only be under the guidance of your doctor or physiotherapist.
Who Should Not Use It?
As with any application, Micro Plus may not be suitable for everyone. It is not recommended in particular for people with heart conditions, people with a pacemaker, pregnant women, people with open wounds and people with a metal allergy. Before any session, a specialist should carry out a detailed assessment, and you should speak to your doctor first.
Body Shaping and Firming with Micro Plus
Micro Plus is used for regional body shaping and firming by stimulating the muscles. Some people who combine regular sessions with a weight-management programme notice changes in particular areas. When the process is supported by a personal eating plan, it may help people work towards their goals, but results cannot be promised and vary from person to person.
Regional body-shaping sessions are usually combined with a balanced diet. When a personal eating plan prepared with a dietitian is combined with Micro Plus sessions, it can support a healthy lifestyle and the way you feel about your body.
What Are the Advantages of Micro Plus?
Micro Plus offers several advantages together. First, it is not a surgical procedure, which is one of its main attractions. There are no surgical risks, and the shaping is done by stimulating the muscles.
The sessions can also suit people looking for an option that fits into a busy routine. Combining health and aesthetic aims makes the device a versatile option.
Remember that it is important to support Micro Plus sessions with a personal eating plan, and that results vary from person to person.
