Microcurrent Facial in Emeryville and Oakland: What It Is and What It Costs (2026)

A microcurrent facial uses a low-level electrical current on the facial muscles. It is often called "facial toning" or a "non-surgical face lift" because of the lifting effect people look for. In Emeryville, Amore Skincare by Wendy lists the Revita Lift & Glow Microcurrent Therapy Facial at $235 for 1 hr 40 min.

What a microcurrent facial does

The current is gentle enough that most people feel little more than a tingle. The aim is a more lifted, toned look around the jaw, cheeks and brows, and the effect builds with a series of treatments rather than one visit. It is not a replacement for surgery or injectables, and results vary from person to person.

The microcurrent facial at Amore Skincare by Wendy

According to her menu, the Revita Lift & Glow Microcurrent Therapy Facial combines microcurrent with antioxidants and peptides, and also includes:

Microcurrent also appears inside her Hevatox Advanced Skin Tightening Korean Facial ($295), alongside plasma, ultrasound and nano-infusion.

How much does a microcurrent facial cost?

Across the published salon and spa menus in our network, a standard facial typically costs $80 to $165 in the US (1,920 menu items). Facials that add a device such as microcurrent usually sit above that range, because they take longer and need the equipment. At $235 for 1 hr 40 min, the Revita Lift & Glow Microcurrent Therapy Facial includes a peel, extractions, a mask and LED in the same session.

Microcurrent or microneedling?

They do different things. Microcurrent works on muscle tone and lift with no break in the skin. Microneedling and its gentler versions work on texture, scarring and pores by creating tiny channels in the skin. On Amore Skincare by Wendy's menu, the texture options are the Regenerate & Renewal Nano Infusion Facial ($265) and the Spicule Liquid Micro-Needling Facial with PDRN ($265).

Who should check first

Microcurrent is generally not offered to people with a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device, during pregnancy, or with epilepsy. Tell the esthetician about any medications (especially isotretinoin or prescription retinoids), recent peels or laser treatments, active infections, allergies and pregnancy before you book. A facial is not a substitute for a dermatologist if you have a skin condition that needs medical care.
