Understanding the Set Up for Microcurrent: Wet Setup in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Therapy and general set up for Avazzia
For Frequency Specific Microcurrent sessions: These sessions may involve the use of wet towels, washcloths, conductive strips with gel or water, or electrode pads. This means that you may want to bring a change of clothes, a headband or cap, and wear something that is ok to get wet. If the wet treatment application is used, you'll be laying on a plastic sheet. Please be aware that the room may become cold. Therefore you may want to bring a light sweater and/or wear long pants. Otherwise, ask for a blanket and table warmer.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a gentle, evidence-informed modality used to support pain relief, inflammation reduction, and tissue healing. One of the most effective application methods in FSM is the wet setup, which enhances conductivity and allows microcurrent frequencies to be delivered more efficiently into the tissues.
A wet setup involves using moistened towels, sponges, or pads placed between the electrodes and the body. The moisture—typically water or saline—reduces skin resistance, improves current flow, and allows the microamp-level current to penetrate more comfortably and evenly. This is especially beneficial when treating larger areas, deeper tissues, or systemic conditions involving inflammation or nervous system dysregulation.
Benefits of the FSM Wet Setup
The wet setup is often preferred because it:
Improves electrical conductivity and frequency accuracy
Allows treatment of broader regions with greater comfort
Supports deeper tissue engagement without increasing intensity
Reduces skin irritation compared to dry electrodes
Enhances relaxation and parasympathetic nervous system response
Clinicians frequently use wet setups for conditions involving chronic pain, inflammation, edema, nerve irritation, and post-surgical recovery. When combined with properly selected frequencies, FSM may help calm the nervous system, support cellular repair, and improve overall tissue function.
As with all FSM applications, treatment should be individualized, and proper training is essential to ensure safe and effective use.

Avazzia microcurrent therapy is applied using gentle electrical stimulation delivered through tools such as adhesive electrode pads and a Y-bar hand-held applicator. Sticky electrode pads are placed on specific areas of the body to allow continuous microcurrent flow, while the Y-bar is manually guided over muscles, joints, or nerve pathways for more targeted treatment. This low-level current is designed to support cellular communication, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote relaxation and tissue recovery without discomfort.
