CACI

CACI is a non-surgical facial that uses low-level microcurrent, delivered through small probes, to stimulate the muscles of the face. It involves no needles and no cuts. Many clients choose it because they would like their skin to look and feel more toned and refreshed.

Our menu has options for different areas. The CACI Non-Surgical Face Lift (the treatment’s menu name) works on the whole face, the CACI Non-Surgical Eye Lift (also a menu name) focuses on the eye area, and the CACI Jowl Lift Express Facial works on the lower face and jawline. The Ultimate Anti-Ageing Facial is our longest CACI option and combines several steps in one session.

CACI microdermabrasion is a separate, gentler option. It uses a fine exfoliating tip to lift away dead skin cells from the surface, which can leave skin looking brighter and feeling smoother. You can have it on its own or with a hydrating mask.

CACI suits adults who would like to look after their skin, or who are noticing changes in firmness and tone. Microdermabrasion suits many skin types, especially if your skin feels dull or rough.

It is not suitable for everyone. Microcurrent is typically avoided if you have a pacemaker or another implanted electrical device, epilepsy, are pregnant, or have metal implants in the treatment area. Your therapist will also ask about recent injectable treatments, skin infections and any medication. Please tell us about anything that applies, even if it seems small.

1. Before your treatment

   Your therapist asks about your skin, health and medication, looks at your skin and talks through which CACI option suits you. Please arrive with clean skin if you can.

2. During your treatment

   Your skin is cleansed, then the therapist moves the probes in set patterns over the area. You will usually feel a light tingling. Microdermabrasion feels like a gentle, slightly scratchy massage.

3. Afterwards

   Your skin may look a little pink for a short time. Most people carry on with their day straight away.

Results typically build over a course, and top-up sessions help keep them going.

Use a gentle moisturiser and a daily sun protection product, especially after microdermabrasion, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun. Keep your skin routine simple for the rest of the day and avoid harsh exfoliating products for a few days, unless your therapist tells you otherwise. If your skin feels sore or looks unusually red, contact the salon. There is more advice on our safety and aftercare page.
