What it is
CACI uses tiny microcurrent impulses that mirror the body’s own bio-electrical field. Your therapist works over the face with two probes, gently manipulating and re-educating the muscles underneath.
It has been the go-to non-surgical lift for decades for a simple reason: it works on muscle tone rather than just the surface of the skin, so the change is structural rather than cosmetic.
What it helps with
Most people come to us for one of these:
- Loss of muscle tone along the jaw and cheeks
- A heavier, less defined jawline
- Fine lines and crepey texture around the eyes
- Skin that has started to look tired rather than lined
One session or a course
A single treatment gives you a visible lift that holds for a few days, which is why people book one before an event. Lasting change needs a course, because you are training muscle rather than resurfacing skin.
We recommend ten to fifteen treatments taken close together, then a maintenance session every four to six weeks. Your therapist will map out a realistic schedule at your first appointment, and a free 30-minute consultation is available if you want to talk it through first.
What it feels like
You get a very mild tingle during the treatment, and many people find it pleasant enough to fall asleep or relax deeply for the duration. There are no needles and nothing invasive about the experience, which makes CACI one of the most accessible professional skin treatments.
Your therapist works with two light probes that move smoothly and consistently across your face, so even if you are usually cautious about professional treatments, this one is genuinely low-impact and comfortable.
Afterwards
There is no recovery time or downtime whatsoever. You can apply makeup immediately and return to your normal day without any restrictions or concerns about how you look.
Many people book CACI right before an important event, a wedding, or a week when they need to look their best, because they get a visible lift without any tell-tale signs of having had treatment. Your skin returns to normal immediately after the session, so you can schedule CACI into a lunch break or between work commitments whenever suits your calendar.
CACI versus microneedling and deeper lifting
CACI works on muscle tone using microcurrent, which means you get immediate definition and results build over a course. For ongoing benefit you maintain with regular treatments every four to six weeks.
Microneedling takes a different approach: it triggers collagen induction to rebuild the deeper layers of your skin. It is a better choice if your main concern is acne scarring, enlarged pores or rough texture. Results build over several weeks and last considerably longer between sessions.
For significant skin laxity or sagging, RF Microneedling or HIFU are the specialist options. They reach much deeper layers and deliver results lasting a year or more. Talk to your therapist about which treatment matches your particular concern.
