BOOST .3 by Mojia is a powerful microcurrent device that gives both immediate results and lasting benefits that just get better over time, reducing visible signs of ageing. It is the world’s first hand-held at-home microcurrent device to utilise 0.3Hz, which is proven* to be the optimum frequency that penetrates deep into the skin, resulting in exceptional ATP production, increasing collagen, elastin and cell regeneration.
BOOST .3 facial toning device is designed to operate at a frequency of 0.3Hz to precisely resonate with our skin’s specific resonant frequency, which is clinically proven* to boost the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Considered by many to be the energy currency of life, ATP is indispensable for properly functioning skin cells and plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin health. ATP assists with collagen and elastin production, fine lines and wrinkles reduction, as well as cellular regeneration.
As we age, however, our body loses much of its natural electrical energy, akin to a battery losing its charge over time. At a cellular level, this decline contributes to a breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin, leading to sagging and an uneven texture; lines, wrinkles, and folds become the inevitable result. Beneath the skin’s surface, the facial muscles gradually contract due to years of facial expression and the constant pull of gravity, leading the overall lift of our face to decline. Hence, maintaining adequate ATP levels in the skin is crucial for preserving its youthful appearance and optimal functionality.
Microcurrent facial tools emits subtle electrical frequencies that mimic the body’s own electrical signals, thereby increasing the amount of ATP by as much as 500% (Cheng 1982, Seegers 2002). The increased ATP production supports the cells in repairing and renewing the skin, which in turn aids in reducing visible signs of ageing and enhancing the overall health of your skin.
BOOST .3 provides true microcurrent using microamps and no other type of current. It delivers up to 500 microamps for microcurrent treatments to systematically reduce the signs of ageing by toning the facial muscles. Want to take your microcurrent facials even further? Using a mask together with BOOST .3 and intensity level 5 (700 microamps) will enhance penetration and results from your facial massage treatments.

What is microcurrent technology
Microcurrent therapy initially emerged in the 1980s within the medical field, primarily used to stimulate muscles in individuals facing conditions such as Bell’s Palsy. However, once the beauty industry noticed the face-lifting effects, it quickly gained a huge following as an anti-ageing treatment. Consequently, microcurrent facials have enjoyed a steady increase in popularity ever since, firmly establishing themselves as some of the best non-invasive anti-ageing treatments. Microcurrent consists of very low levels of electrical current, closely resembling the body’s natural bio-electrical field, which makes it an excellent choice for facial treatments in addressing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Microcurrent therapy introduces very low amperage electrical stimulation into an area of damaged soft tissue, treating a wide range of conditions, from pain and inflammation to ageing skin. It activates healing mechanisms and triggers cell regeneration without causing any discomfort or pain.
The microcurrents, measured in microamps (μA), are so low that they mimic your body’s natural electrical signals, helping to restore balance and harmony to your cells and tissues. In fact, the low-level currents are so small, typically ranging from 10uA to 1,000 uA, or microamperes.
For beauty treatments, microcurrent devices work on a cellular level by stimulating facial muscles, increasing blood flow, and promoting collagen and elastin production. These essential proteins are responsible for keeping your skin firm and plump. Using your microcurrent device consistently can result in a visible enhancement in your skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity, all without the need for surgical procedures or injections.
What are the benefits of microcurrent facials
As we age, facial muscles start undergoing atrophy, leading to the appearance of loose skin. This natural decline in muscle strength can manifest as visible signs of ageing in areas like the jawline, chin, and eyelid areas. Microcurrent therapy seeks to address this by strengthening these muscles, promoting a more lifted appearance.
Microcurrents play a role in stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and other structural components that uphold the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance.
The gentle electrical currents emitted by microcurrent devices have the ability to cause facial stimulation by sending gentle waves through the skin, tissues, and muscles. It triggers an increase in the production of ATP, which serves as your cells’ energy source. It is a way of supercharging the tissue with ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which drives the creation of essential structural proteins like collagen and elastin.
This increased ATP also energises the facial muscles, similar to how exercise energises the muscles of our bodies. By gently exercising the muscles as microcurrent does, protein production is increased. This leads to muscles becoming firmer and tighter, improving the facial toning and overall look of the treated area. Here is a detailed account of how microcurrent creates ATP.
Microcurrent facials can also help increase blood circulation, lymphatic drainage and tone facial muscles, resulting in a reduction in puffiness and a more radiant complexion.
One of the most important things to remember when using microcurrent devices for facial toning and facial massage is that consistency is key. To achieve the best results, you should use it on a regular basis.
Not all at home microcurrent devices are created equal
Microcurrent facials at home have been gaining popularity in recent years for their ability to lift and tone the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin health. There are many different at home microcurrent devices on the market, but not all are created equal.
Some important considerations when buying an at-home microcurrent facial toning device include:
FREQUENCY. Frequency is the number of cycles that a wave completes in one second. In other words, it is the rate at which a wave oscillates. The unit of measurement for frequency is Hertz (Hz), named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who first demonstrated the existence of radio waves. For instance, if a wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, it means it completes 100 cycles in one second.
Each tissue in the body responds to a specific frequency, which is why the frequency used in microcurrent therapy is essential. The frequency used determines the type of tissue affected and the electrical current’s penetration depth.
For example, the frequency used to treat skin conditions such as acne and wrinkles is typically between 0.3 and 0.5Hz. This frequency penetrates the skin’s epidermis and dermis layers, producing adenosine triphosphate, promoting collagen and elastin, and increasing blood flow to the area.
THE RESONANCE EFFECT. The resonance effect is a phenomenon where the tissue vibrates at its natural frequency when exposed to an external frequency. This effect is essential in microcurrent therapy because it allows the electrical current to target specific tissues and cells.
For example, if the frequency used in microcurrent matches the natural frequency of a muscle cell, the cell will start to vibrate, causing an increase in blood flow and cellular activity.
THE ROLE OF WAVEFORM. Waveforms refer to the shape of the electrical current used in microcurrent facial treatments. There are various types of waveforms, including square, sine, triangular, and sawtooth. Each waveform has a different effect on the skin and facial muscles.
The square waveform is characterised by its sharp and sudden changes in direction, creating a wave with a distinct square shape. It is a biphasic waveform that alternates between positive and negative currents. Due to its unique characteristics and benefits, the square waveform is the preferred choice for microcurrent facial treatments. It provides deep and precise stimulation to facial muscles, promoting collagen production, improving blood circulation, and managing pain and inflammation, resulting in firmer, plumper, and more youthful-looking skin.
THE OPTIMUM MICROAMP. True microcurrent refers to the technology using microamps only and no other type of current. Other currents may be too small for the body to recognise or too powerful for the delicate facial muscles.
Microcurrent uses very low-Amp electrical stimulation, in the microamp (μA) range. One microamp (μA) is one-millionth of an Amp. It is teeny but this minuscule electrical charge from microcurrent increases the cellular function. At the same time, a more substantial electrical charge would harm the cell and stops it from functioning.
When keeping the microamps between 10µA and 500µA, we know (Cheng 1982, Seegers 2002) that microcurrent alone can evoke a
• 500% increase in ATP production,
• 70% increase in protein synthesis,
• 40% increase in amino acid transport,
• 14% increase in collagen synthesis,
• 39% increase in blood supply, and
• 48% increase in elastin
The study also shows ATP levels drop sharply with microcurrent levels greater than 500 microamps
For some time, the team at THE GREAT ADDRESS has been fans of The BOOST .3 by Mojia Australia. It is the first handheld at-home microcurrent facial toning device that applies a frequency at 0.3Hz, applies the correct microamperes and waveform to generate maximum adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
What is BOOST .3 microcurrent device
As one of the best at-home microcurrent facial toning devices, BOOST .3 is the world’s first handheld microcurrent device to utilise .3Hz, helping you to achieve salon-style results at home or on the go. It is designed with precision to harmonise at 0.3Hz to align with your skin’s specific resonant frequency perfectly.
Clinically proven*, the frequency of 0.3Hz penetrates deep into the dermis, allowing the mitochondria to respond at the cellular level, resulting in maximum ATP production. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy source that powers our cells, and when produced in higher amounts, it can aid in tissue repair and collagen and elastin production. The result is diminished wrinkles and fine lines, fuller skin, and improved overall skin health.
Additional notable highlights of BOOST .3 are:
• Microcurrent from 100uA up to 500uA for microcurrent treatments and up to 700uA for mask hack
• Five intensity levels
• A 5-minute interval beep
• Red LED at 633nm
• A 20-minute auto switch off
• A square wave signal with a 50% duty cycle is used, as it has been observed to be more effective for face lifting and firming saggy skin
Why choose a microcurrent device with 0.3Hz – The power of 0.3 HZ
Microcurrent therapy is based on the principle that microampere currents closely mimic the naturally occurring bioelectric currents within the body, thereby enhancing the body’s capacity for tissue healing and repair.
The BOOST .3 microcurrent device offers a non-surgical and non-invasive beauty treatment that uses microcurrent to stimulate facial muscles and amplify the cellular rejuvenation process. This at-home beauty device operates at a frequency of 0.3Hz, which means it delivers electrical current to the skin 0.3 times per second.
BOOST .3 is designed to address the effects and signs of ageing by employing a series of very specific microcurrents that reach deep into the cellular level, delivering long-lasting benefits that improve over time. Healing is stimulated by microcurrents operated at the appropriate frequency, effectively triggering the cells within the body.
The preferred frequency utilised in microcurrent therapy for healing is commonly set at 0.3 Hz. The significance of employing the correct microcurrent frequency for each treatment stems from the fact that every cell possesses its unique resonant frequency. When exposed to this specific resonant frequency, a cell generates oscillations and resonates accordingly. These oscillations can prompt various changes within the cells, including increased energy levels and improved intercellular communication.
Through its promotion of internal healing and optimisation of ATP production at the cellular level, BOOST 0.3 results in firmer, smoother and more plump skin, effectively diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Ultimately, this results in a complexion that is more radiant and rejuvenated.
How the BOOST .3 Works
The BOOST .3 at 0.3Hz works by stimulating the mitochondria in the cells, which are responsible for producing ATP. When 0.3Hz frequency is applied to the skin, it penetrates deep into the dermis, allowing the mitochondria to respond by producing more ATP. This increased ATP production leads to increased cellular activity, including collagen and elastin, and cellular rejuvenation.
Additionally, the BOOST .3 can aid in absorbing water-based products into the skin. This is due to a process called iontophoresis, which uses electrical currents to push water-based products deeper into the skin for increased absorption.
Benefits of the BOOST .3
Using BOOST .3 is excellent microcurrent tool for ageing skin since it helps to tighten and smooth the skin without painful injections, invasive surgical procedures, or long recovery times. Used frequently (3-5 times a week), it delivers both instantly visible results and long-term benefits. Some of these advantages include:
“TRUE” MICROCURRENT. BOOST .3 operates on the principle that all biological processes in the human body, including pain and inflammation, operate at specific frequencies. Applying currents at these frequencies can stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, leading to improved skin health. BOOST .3 operates at a frequency of 0.3 Hz, which is considered to be “true” microcurrent.
INCREASED ATP PRODUCTION FOR CELLULAR REJUVENATION. The notable characteristic of the low frequency of BOOST .3 microcurrent device is its healing properties and its ability to promote increased ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) production, leading to collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a crucial protein that helps the skin retain structure, while elastin primarily helps with skin bounciness and elasticity. Both proteins contribute to firmer, plumper skin and reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles.
ENHANCED FACIAL AND NECK MUSCLE TONE. Just as regular exercise keeps your body fit and toned, microcurrent therapy does the same for your facial muscles. It encourages muscle fibres to contract and tighten, promoting improved muscle tone. This, in turn, lifts and firms sagging areas of the face, such as the jawline and cheeks. The result? A more sculpted, youthful appearance that defies the effects of time.
DIMINISHED APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES. As we age, fine lines and wrinkles begin to make an unwelcome appearance. Microcurrent offers a solution by promoting collagen and elastin production, essential proteins responsible for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity. With increased collagen and elastin, the skin gains the resilience to ward off those pesky lines, leaving you with smoother, more youthful skin.
BOOST BLOOD CIRCULATION. Good blood circulation is the key to a healthy complexion. Microcurrent therapy enhances blood flow to the facial tissues, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen. This boost in circulation helps rejuvenate the skin, giving it a natural, radiant glow that no highlighter can replicate.
ENHANCED PRODUCT ABSORPTION. A high-performing microcurrent facial device improves the skin’s permeability, allowing your skincare products to be absorbed more effectively. This means the active ingredients in your products can work their magic at a deeper level, maximizing their benefits.
IMPROVED LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE. Our lymphatic system plays a crucial role in removing waste and toxins from the body. Microcurrent therapy aids in lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce puffiness and water retention in the face. The result is a more sculpted, defined facial contour, free from excess fluid buildup.
PAIN-FREE AND NON-INVASIVE. Unlike surgical procedures or injections, microcurrent therapy is completely pain-free and non-invasive. There is no need for anaesthesia or recovery time. You can even use this facial device in the comfort of your own home, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
CUMULATIVE LONG-LASTING RESULTS. The benefits of microcurrent therapy extend beyond the immediate treatment session. With regular use, you can experience cumulative and long-lasting improvements in your skin’s overall appearance. Consistency is key, and dedicating just a few minutes of your skincare routine to microcurrent therapy can lead to remarkable results over time.
Results can vary depending on the individual and their skin type, and they will typically develop gradually rather than occurring overnight. While microcurrent facials are known for their ability to produce instant results and a temporary rejuvenating effect, continued frequent usage will yield more cumulative, long-term, lasting results.
The importance of quality ingredients in conductive gels
Since our skin can naturally resist electric current, a conductive gel is a must. In order to achieve optimum results, you have to choose the very best microcurrent conductive gel, as it facilitates the transmission of electric currents from the facial device to the muscles. Without a high-quality conductive gel, your microcurrent treatment would prove ineffective as the electric currents would not reach the required depth. Moreover, this conductive gel acts as a protective barrier, preventing any micro-electric shocks, and it also enables the device to move smoothly without tugging or pulling at the skin. Hence, the significance of a quality conductive gel cannot be overstated for the mentioned reasons.
With a highly conductive formula, Mojia’s Beautiva Conductive Antioxidant Enzyme Gel glides effortlessly across the skin, ensuring optimal conductivity. It helps to transfer the electrical energy from the device to the skin, allowing for better penetration and efficacy of the treatment. The gel, known for its superior conductive properties, contains a generous amount of superoxide dismutase, a powerful antioxidant enzyme. Additionally, it is enriched with silk fibroin to improve your skin’s overall texture and elasticity.
Mask hack: Take your microcurrent treatments to the next level
In addition to the BOOST .3 being used in a typical way for microcurrent treatments, it can be combined with Mojia’s popular mask “hack”. This enables you to connect your device to a facial mask, allowing the microcurrent to be delivered evenly and deeply. This enhances product infusion while maximising ATP production.
Mojia’s mask hack pack is easy to use and has been upgraded to make your facial treatments with the BOOST .3 microcurrent device even more effective. The mask hack pack includes a set of Mojia’s unique leads, two sizes of electrode pads, and graphene sheet masks. Combining microcurrent and the mask allows for optimal ATP levels and increased collagen and elastin production. BOOST .3 goes up to 700 uA on level 5 to enable the mask hack to deliver outstanding results, as it needs higher amps to deliver the current through the microcurrent attachment.
