Barbara Berger, LAc instructs health and skin care professionals on the use of microcurrent in medicine and aesthetics. Ms. Berger began her acupuncture apprenticeship in 1976 and received her acupuncture license in 1979. In 1980, she worked at South 
Colombo Hospital in Colombo, Sir Lanka for one year. Upon returning to San Francisco, Ms. Berger opened her acupuncture and microcurrent practice. Noticing improvement in skin texture on scar tissue after a microcurrent treatment, Ms. Berger trained with Dr. Neil Garfarb, DC who had recently developed microcurrent protocols and techniques for Facial Rejuvenation. All of the aesthetic benefits of microcurrent grew from use of microcurrent in medicine. As interest in Microcurrent for Facial Rejuvenation grew, manufacturers studied Dr. Goldfarb's work and designed proprietary programs. We offer the original training from Dr. Goldfarb with advanced protocols and training based on years of experience.

No Acupuncturist Left Behind

Ms. Berger's articles on Microcurrent Therapy, Microcurrent for the Next Generation, July 2008 and Touch, Movement and Microcurrent, December 2008 are published in Acupuncture Today. Joyce Greenberg, Host, Bastyr University reports, "Barbara taught us very specific parameters. She took the guess work out of it. Her method unequivocally works and there is enormous potential for practitioners to expand their practice. Her method is fast and infinitely more effective than using the needles for facial rejuvenation. The course delivers on teaching techniques with enough supervision allowing each participant to walk away fully trained."

Microcurrent technology grew out of the expansive field of electrophysiology (study of the electrical properties of cells). Modern science recognizes that the body is electrically wired from head to toe and health depends upon the ability of current to flow freely through the body. Microcurrent instruments deliver minute doses of beneficial current to the cells in order to return tissue to a normal level of electrical activity. Treatments help the body to effectively use proteins and other nutrients for cell growth and repair. As the process of healing begins on a cellular level, microcurrent treatments help the cells to regain their natural energy flow restoring health. 

Unlike other electrotherapy units, microcurrent treatments stimulate the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), often referred to as 'the cells wealth and reservoir of energy." ATP is involved in cellular activity such as nerve transmission, muscle contraction and protein synthesis. A microcurrent treatment acts as a catalyst initiating and sustaining all the electrical and chemical reactions that occur during the healing process.
