CACI Facials Are All The Rage With Celebrities CACI facials have been at the forefront of skincare treatment for over 26 years, but many of us don’t have a clue what is actually involved — including myself — that is, until earlier this month.
My skin had become tired-looking and felt a tad dry after the winter months so I had a chat to Sarah, the owner at The Hair and Beauty Studio in Puente don Manuel. She suggested a CACI facial and of course my first reaction was, ‘What is that’? Sarah explained that the original CACI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) was developed two decades ago for treating Bell’s Palsy (facial paralysis), and that it was proved so effective at correcting and restoring facial muscle tone — and delivering dramatic results without the need for surgical intervention — that today CACI is a world-renowned aesthetic treatment commonly referred to as ‘The Non-Surgical Facelift’. Sarah also added that all the celebs keep trying it out. Well, that did it for me. Appointment booked! On the morning I was a little nervous as I had seen pictures of the metal instrument that is used but Aylene, who was doing the facial, assured me that it was pain-free and comfortable. After the initial consultation I chose the CACI jowl lift, developed to specifically target muscle laxity around the jawline using the quad probes specially designed to lift and firm the muscles and refine contours. It’s a 30-minute treatment that costs 40 euros. There are five other CACI treatments — the CACI hydrotone facial sounds interesting — and maybe one for after the summer as it hydrates sun-damaged skin and is immediately quenched by the hydrating action of the mask. Aylene started by giving me a double cleanse and then it was on to the CACI treatment. The
micro-current toning phrase uses a combination of specific waveforms and ultra-low frequencies providing an instant face-firming effect. The sensation was relaxing and a bit like a face massage, with a short part where I felt a tingling sensation passing to and throw over my face. To finish off I had the LED light therapy mask. Aylene advised on aftercare to make that fresh-faced feeling last longer and it has done the trick as a week later, my face is still glowing and feels incredibly soft and with fewer dry patches. The CACI treatments can vary in time from 20 minutes up to a 90-minute session, and can cost from 20 euros up to 75 euros. For the jowl lift, a course of ten treatments is recommended which includes two for free with the neck included from the sixth treatment. Below is a before and after picture of a client.
