Secure the Unit

Always secure and protect the Microlief™ unit with adequate bandaging.

Standard cotton wraps will do the job.

It is safe to put Microlief® under ceramic wraps.  FYI, research indicates that combining ceramic fiber wraps with microcurrent provides greater circulation benefits than using ceramic fiber wraps alone.

One caution: We do not recommend using Microlief® under ceramic wraps in weather of high heat and humidity.  High heat and humidity combined with additional body heat from the ceramic wrap greatly reduce the useful lifespan of the electrodes.
