Yes, microcurrent technology was and is used to treat Bells Palsy patients. Bells Palsy is facial paralysis, usually effects one side of the face only. The cause is unknown, but inflammation of one of the facial nerves results in muscle paralysis to one side of the face. As their facial muscles atrophy (sag) microcurrent is used to rehabilitate the muscles. Doctors noticed not only was the muscles lifted and toned but fine lines and wrinkles were reduced or eliminated. Soon after, aesthetic professionals started using microcurrent in their practices as a noninvasive facelift.
