FRANZ Microcurrent Face Mask Boosts Youthful Skin From the Inside Out
In the realm of anti-aging treatments, microcurrent is one of the newest and most exciting.microcurrent face mask The technology has been used medically since the 1980s to treat Bell's palsy and muscle paralysis, but estheticians have adopted it as a way to tighten sagging muscles and improve complexions, promoting youthfulness from the inside out. It's a painless, noninvasive alternative to Botox and fillers, but unlike other wrinkle-fighting serums, it requires regular use (like any good skincare routine) for results to kick in.
To reap the benefits, a professional treatment typically involves double cleansing, exfoliating, steaming, extractions, and massage.microcurrent face mask Then, the device—which can range from short and narrow to a handheld ring to sculpt your face muscles, complete with heads for percussion therapy and LED light—is slid across your face while you relax for anywhere from three to ten minutes. There are even at-home devices like the popular NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device, which KLG's Whitney Cummings swears by—though those require a dedicated conductive gel, which is expensive (plus, there's a whole subculture on the skin-care internet that hacks these kinds of tools to work with other serums and moisturizers).
But what if you could get all the same benefits in the comfort of your own home? That's exactly what South Korean skincare brand FRANZ has done with this game-changing mask, developed in collaboration with researchers from Seoul National University.microcurrent face mask It looks just like a regular sheet mask, but it contains two separate masks that when placed together activate the microcurrent technology without the need for any external equipment or electricity. The first mask is drenched in nourishing and hydrating ingredients (like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and botanicals), while the second is coated in actives that help to firm and smooth the skin.
The masks work by generating ion energy to activate the microcurrent, which then helps to penetrate the skin and deliver beauty ingredients deeper into the dermis.microcurrent face mask The formulas also contain peptides to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and boost collagen production, which helps to give the skin its natural, youthful appearance. Plus, the microcurrent stimulates blood circulation for brighter skin and more radiant glow.
FRANZ is a rising name in the skincare scene thanks to this face-lifting mask, but its latest product takes things even further. The dEpPatch is a waterproof microcurrent patch that's designed to pair with any serum or moisturizer—it works best with ones rich in active ingredients, like Vitamin C, which helps reduce redness and discoloration. The patch is also hypoallergenic and medical-grade, and it can be worn for up to eight treatments a week (or longer, if necessary).
Both products are available now online, though the company recommends you book your first session with an experienced esthetician to ensure your safety and achieve optimal results. You'll also want to avoid the treatments if you have sensitive skin or metal implants, are pregnant, or recently had any kind of face or body surgery. FRANZ's Founder and CEO, Dr. Sanghyeong Park, tells The Cut that there are no known risks, but it's generally recommended to skip a session if you have a heart condition or facial metal implants (or if you're recovering from a recent filler injection).
