What are contraindications for microcurrent treatments?

Microcurrent treatments involve the application of low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles and promote cellular activity. However, certain medical conditions and circumstances can make these treatments unsafe or ineffective.

High blood pressure can lead to increased cardiovascular strain during treatment. Metal implants may interfere with the current's path or cause discomfort, while pregnancy raises concerns about the effects of electrical stimulation on fetal development. Epilepsy is another critical consideration, as microcurrents could potentially trigger seizures.

The other options include conditions that either do not pose a significant risk or are not recognized as contraindications for microcurrent treatments. Normal skin and low stress are typically considered safe for these treatments, while concepts like minor bruises or tiredness do not generally restrict the use of microcurrent therapies. Aging skin and environmental factors are not specifically contraindications; rather, they might influence treatment goals or techniques but do not inherently prevent safe application. Therefore, the conditions listed in the selected option are reliable contraindications that must be taken into account before commencing microcurrent treatments.
