Your body already speaks in electricity. Nerves fire, muscles contract, and cells hold small electrical charges across their membranes. Bioelectricity is the study of those native signals.
Some of those signals are steady rather than pulsing. Direct-current electric fields are present in developing and regenerating animal tissues, and they can influence how cells behave, including during tissue repair (McCaig et al., 2005). Scientists have long called the electrical signal that forms at a wound the current of injury. As well, the resting voltage of ordinary cells, not only nerve cells, helps regulate how they grow, specialize, and organize into larger patterns, including regeneration in animal models (Levin, 2014).
How we use it
Bioelectricity is the idea underneath the Current signal. Microcurrent is designed to work at a scale close to these native currents rather than overpowering them (Wadhwa et al., 2026).
Where the evidence stands
The basic science is strong. The step from that science to any claim about a wellness session is a model that has not been tested, and we label it that way.
