Stimulation of fibroblast production and collagen synthesis
What this means for you
Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and resilient — and fibroblasts are the cells that make it. When fibroblast activity increases, your body produces more of its own collagen, which most people notice as improved skin texture, tone, and the kind of elasticity that tends to decline with age.
The published research
Investigating the therapeutic efficacy of microcurrent therapy: a narrative review.
Therapeutic advances in chronic disease · 2025
The review explicitly documents that microcurrent stimulation activates fibroblasts and enhances connective tissue matrix formation, stating 'an isolated current of 200 μA enhanced connective tissue matrix formation by stimulating fibroblast production' and noting protein synthesis increases of 30-40% above control. It also references fibroblast and satellite cell activation as part of the mechani
