Interventions

• Acute Microcurrent Treatment — DEVICE
  The esthetician will apply only the microcurrent setting during the 18-step routine.
• Acute Microcurrent + cold therapy — DEVICE
  The esthetician will apply cold + microcurrent therapy during the 18-step routine.
• 8-week Chronic Use of Microcurrent + Cold Therapy — DEVICE
  Participants will be instructed to use the TheraFace Pro Gen 2 for approximately 8 minutes a day following an 18-step routine on each side of the face. The steps include: ower neck (glide), upper neck (glide), vertical neck (glide), neck contour (glide), neck contour (press + hold), jawline cradle (glide), jawline cradle (press + hold), jaw contour (glide), jaw contour (press + hold), cheek contour (glide), cheek contour (press + hold), cheekbone contour (glide), cheek contour (press + hold), brow lift (glide), brow lift (press + hold), eye contour (glide), eye contour (press + hold), inner brow (glide), \& inner brow (press + hold). Each location will receive \~10 seconds of treatment.

Study Details

The present study aims to assess use of a microcurrent and cryotherapy device on skin health over an 8-week period using an at-home device that provides 15-minutes of microcurrent + cold therapy once daily. An additional aim is to assess the acute (i.e., single) use of microcurrent or microcurrent + cold therapy on measures of skin health. The primary question it seeks to answer is whether daily use of the TheraFace Pro Gen 2 alters facial skin characteristics. Secondary aims include collecting clinical images, professional photographs, and consumer perceptions of the device. Participants between the ages of 25-65 with various skin types will be enrolled for participation. Participants will visit the clinic three times for collection of outcome metrics at baseline with microcurrent therapy, baseline 2 using microcurrent + cold therapy, and 8 weeks after baseline. Measurements include: expert clinical grading, digital imaging, subjective assessment of skin, and clinical grade-images.
