Why We Use Microcurrent: The Gold Standard in Non-Surgical Facial Lifting

There are hundreds of microcurrent facial devices on the market. But at Bespoke Acupuncture, we only bring in tools that perform—and perform across multiple dimensions of skin health. That’s why we use the TriaWave.

Trusted by top celebrity aestheticians like Joanna Czech, Georgia Louise, and Shani Darden, TriaWave is a cult-status tool with a loyal following among Hollywood’s most photographed faces. It’s not just trendy—it’s technically superior.

Below, we’ll break down exactly what it is, how it works, and why it’s earned its place in our clinic.

What Is TriaWave?

TriaWave is a one-of-a-kind multi-modality facial device that combines three powerful technologies in one treatment:

• Microcurrent

• Sonophoresis (ultrasound)

• Pulsed Iontophoresis

Together, they do the heavy lifting—literally. This device tones muscles, energizes skin cells, and drives active ingredients deeper into the skin. The result? A lifted, radiant complexion with improved texture, tone, and structure. All without downtime or invasive procedures for ultimate facial rejuvenation. More bang for your buck!

What Does Each Modality Do?

1. Microcurrent: Muscle Toning + ATP Stimulation

Microcurrent uses low-level electrical currents—mimicking your body’s own bioelectricity—to stimulate facial muscles and improve skin function. It’s like a workout for your face (often many call it ‘The Reformer’ of skincare), but with real biochemical effects.

Benefits include:

• Lifting and contouring the jawline, cheeks, and brows

• Improving muscle tone and facial symmetry

• Increasing ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell—fueling collagen and elastin production

• Enhancing circulation and lymphatic flow

📖 Clinical research has shown that microcurrent stimulation can increase ATP production by up to 500%, leading to more efficient skin repair and regeneration (Cheng et al., 1982).

2. Sonophoresis: Better Product Penetration

Sonophoresis uses low-frequency ultrasound to temporarily loosen the tight bonds between skin cells in the outermost layer. This makes your skin more permeable—so the products we apply during your facial can actually reach the deeper layers where they’re needed.

What this means for you:

• Your skincare works harder and penetrates further

• Active ingredients like peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants can access target cells

• Hydration and nutrient delivery are significantly enhanced

This is especially important in combination with high-performance formulas, like those we use at Bespoke Acupuncture.

3. Pulsed Iontophoresis: Ingredient Delivery via Electrical Current

Iontophoresis involves using a safe, pulsed electrical current to push charged molecules (like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid) deep into the skin. This method is far more effective than topical application alone and allows us to deliver therapeutic levels of actives without injections or abrasions.

In short:
It gets the good stuff exactly where your skin needs it.

What Makes TriaWave Different?

While many devices offer just one of these technologies, TriaWave offers all three—in a single treatment, with built-in intelligent impedance monitoring that adjusts output in real time to match your skin’s conductivity.

That means every session is fully customized to your unique skin state. And over time, TriaWave doesn’t just deliver cosmetic benefits—it helps retrain the skin to function better on a cellular level.

This is why TriaWave is favored by elite facialists working with Jennifer Aniston, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, and Jessica Alba. It's not just about appearance—it's about foundational skin health.

What You’ll Notice

Immediately after a TriaWave treatment at Bespoke Acupuncture, you may see:

• A lifted, firmer look—especially through the jaw, cheeks, and brow

• Smoother skin texture and refined pores

• Less puffiness

• A healthy, hydrated glow

With consistent treatments, you can expect:

• Improved collagen and elastin production

• Greater skin elasticity and tone

• A more sculpted and youthful appearance

• Better results from your skincare routine

How We Use It at Bespoke Acupuncture

At Bespoke Acupuncture, we often combine TriaWave with other modalities, including cosmetic acupuncture, gua sha, and custom herbal skincare, to create a fully integrated facial rejuvenation experience. Every customized treatment is designed to support your skin’s structure, vitality, and long-term resilience.

Whether you’re looking to address fine lines, dullness, or loss of firmness, TriaWave is foundational to our go-to technologies for visible, lasting results—with no pain and no downtime.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Results with TriaWave are both immediate and cumulative. While you’ll likely notice visible lifting and glow after just one treatment, consistent sessions create longer-lasting changes in skin tone, texture, and elasticity.

At Bespoke Acupuncture, we recommend the following treatment cadence:

• Mild concerns (early signs of aging, occasional dullness):
  4–6 weekly sessions, then monthly maintenance.

• Moderate concerns (loss of tone, fine lines, uneven texture):
  6–8 weekly sessions, followed by biweekly to monthly upkeep.

• Advanced concerns (deeper lines, sagging, visible skin fatigue):
  10–12 weekly sessions, then a custom long-term plan.

To support this process, we offer the Bespoke Facial Program—available in 6- or 12-session packages—designed to optimize progress and deliver transformative, layered results. These programs blend TriaWave with cosmetic acupuncture, gua sha, and targeted skincare for a comprehensive, whole-face approach to rejuvenation.

Because skin changes over time—and so should your treatments.

The Bottom Line

TriaWave is the most sophisticated facial device on the market today.
It’s earned its place at Bespoke Acupuncture because it consistently delivers on its promises—lifting, energizing, and revitalizing the skin in a way that feels natural and looks effortless.

It’s not about fads. It’s about results you can see and science you can trust.
