Among some of the technologies we are working with, one that needs to be recognized is Microcurrent Facial Treatments. This clinically tested facial therapy treatment has totally innovated the facial industry over the past 30 years. Most top spas throughout the world are now offering this technology for their prestige clientele and its name far precedes it. Microcurrent Therapy tones, firms, and contours aging skin to create a naturally smooth appearance.

Microcurrent emits a low-level current that imitates the body’s natural current. This provides both instant and long term anti-aging results. Concerned about the sensation of the microcurrents? There’s no need to worry, the current does not stimulate nerves, which in turn makes this treatment painless. Microcurrent facials or otherwise known as the five-minute facelift is an incredible technology that enables your skin to be fresher and younger in appearance in minutes. The microcurrent facial therapy is not a new treatment, it has been around for years and experts absolutely rave about it!

Microcurrent facials originally became popular in the 1980s. The original intent was to stimulate facial muscles. Before microcurrent facials were popular the technology was used to aid patients who suffered from nerve-paralysis, leading to atrophied, sagging facial muscles. Otherwise known as Bell’s Palsy. The miracle of microcurrent enabled these patients to regain muscle growth in their face and helped them lead a more normal life. After this amazing technology was used to assist these patients it was approved by the FDA for its anti-aging application.

Microcurrent sends soft, gentle waves through the skin, tissue and down to the facial muscles. What then happens is it stimulates the production of ATP, this is also known as Adenosine Triphosphate. ATP is a structural protein similar to collagen or elastin. ATP energizes the facial muscles similarly to how exercise impacts the body composition. The great benefit to stimulating these proteins and muscles is they are directly connected to the skin. This causes them to lift and tighten the skin as they are stimulated.

Here, at Ximena Skin Care Clinic we believe in a well-balanced approach to skin care. There are quite a few beneficial treatments for anti-aging, but the Microcurrent facial can pair seamlessly with other treatments.
