Caci non surgical face lift reviews năm 2024

THE CACI facial is still a firm favourite of many celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Laura Whitmore and at one time Princes Diana. The treatment is often referred to as facial toning or non-surgical facial lifting. I’ve used a microcurrent device at home for many years, but I’ve never had a full professional treatment.

So, when I was invited to trial the CACI Synergy Signature Non-Surgical Facial Toning at the Lisa Franklin Clinic Privè in Chelsea I jumped at the chance.

The clinic itself is beautiful, feminine and luxurious – smelling of wonderful essential oils and plants which bring an element of nature into the stunning rooms.

During the treatment my therapist explained that the low intensity currents provide a ‘muscle re-education’ by delivering micro-currents with cotton tipped probes to all 32 facial muscles- a relaxing/lengthening effect that works to reverse years of muscle contraction.

The beauty of a CACI Synergy treatment, is that it can be tailored exactly to your skin needs and even certain areas of your body can be singled out for treatment. For eyes try the Eye Revive treatment, or a Jowl Lift, or even treat your hands. The CACI Electro Glove technology allows your hands to be treated at the same time as your face, tackling more than one sign of ageing during the treatment.

I found the treatment to be relaxing and pain free and with no down time. After the treatment I relaxed for a moment in the beautiful room with a herbal tea. I was excited to see the results of my facial and I noticed a real difference immediately.

My skin was glowing and less puffy. I could actually see my cheekbones. The results lasted a lot longer than I expected and I received quite a few comments.

A model I was working with a few days later guessed my age at 35. Considering that I’m actually 48, I was pretty thrilled.

What they say: Pioneers of completely non-surgical facelifts, the experts at CACI International (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) have been researching for 20 years, developing a unique system that works to re-train the muscles in your face and promote collagen production. This is their most technically advanced anti-ageing facial to date and has been devised to make skin look toned, plumper and lifted.

What we say: This treatment system works. Those inclined to consider a facelift or botox should try 10 treatments of CACI before choosing the invasive option. Even after just one session, skin was noticeably clearer, firmer and more youthful. Wrinkles appeared to have been massaged away and after three days, the effects haven't worn off.

What to expect: The 90-minute treatment includes a combination of microdermabrasion, microcurrent and red and blue light therapy. Part of the treatment includes a gentle pinching action to bring blood to the surface of the skin and promote fullness. The CACI mask applied towards the end is the most relaxing part. Cooling and soothing, it might just send you off to sleep.

Good for: Anyone with dehydrated, dull or ageing skin; each treatment is devised for your specific concerns and problem areas. The facial gives instantly visible results and is a brilliant, pain-free alternative to botox and surgery.

We heard rumours that, before walking the red carpet, a clutch of Hollywood beauties including Emma Stone, Jennifer Lopez and Christie Brinkley called on Caci to perk up their skin pre-camera. Several of the Spa Spies have tried different versions of Caci facials while on the road so we thought it was time to cover the 'caci non-surgical facelift’ in depth.

What’s it all about?

Caci (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument)

is a system that uses a series of tiny electrical impulses, called micro currents, at ultra-low frequency, to stimulate the 32 muscles in your face. Think of it as a gym workout for your visage or non-surgical facial toning. These work in harmony with the body’s bio-electrical field, to stimulate collagen production and trigger tissue repair and skin rejuvenation.

During the treatment, a therapist will run cotton-covered prongs over your skin to manipulate and train the muscles. Each set of movement will target the muscles that tend to lose tone with age.

The caci microcurrent toning part of the treatment is supported by other therapies. My 90-minute facial included a relatively gentle microdermabrasion, light therapy, needle-like wrinkle comb therapy and a silicon facemask.

What happened before the treatment?

My treatment was at the beautiful Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel in London. Step off Piccadilly, ride the lift to the 10th floor and you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to a cloud of peace and tranquillity above the busy tourist streets. On arrival I was given a pear, mint and ginger drink, a warm eucalyptus hand towel and a consultation form to fill in.

The changing areas are super bright, with large showers, well stocked lockers and as many beauty products as you can use. Inside the thermal area is a quiet hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room. I love waterfall showers, so was very impressed by the pool side shower which seemed to take up the whole of the ceiling.

The pre-treatment relax area has big leather seats and foot stools, a beautifully warm fireplace and dried fruits to snack on. The post-relax areas are dark pods with a full length bed, pillows and a blanket. There were headphones to listen to music and plenty of magazines to read.

Describe the treatment

My therapist, Tereska, met me in the relaxation room and took me through to the treatment room which had beautiful views over the London skyline. She drew the curtains and asked me to make myself comfortable on the treatment bed before giving me an overview of the treatment.

The Caci Ultimate is the very first treatment system to combine Microcurrent, Facial Toning, Crystal Free Orbital Microdermabrasion and, LED Light Therapy Photo Stimulation.

The Caci treatment isn’t a soft, lingering facial full of beautiful smelling products. It’s much more practical and promises real anti-aging benefits. At no point during the treatment was I uncomfortable, but it didn’t make me want to fall asleep.

My treatment started with a very gentle session of microdermabrasion to really exfoliate my skin. There was a gentle pulling sensation as Tereska ran the wand across my skin, concentrating on wrinkle areas. Next came the wrinkle comb. The comb has five or six needle-like prongs which are even spaced and, when applied, dip into your skin along the areas that fine lines tend to form – for me this is along the my mouth and my eyes. Tereska used the wrinkle comb twice; the first session was relatively low power, for the second she applied numbing cream to prevent the therapy becoming uncomfortable. The wrinkle comb causes very slight trauma to the skin, plumping it up and stimulating collagen growth.

To calm the skin down, Tereska then applied the LED technology - alternating blue (calming) and red (anti-aging lights) over the areas she had really worked on. This helps to improve blemishes, scarring and skin pigmentation. Caci is renowned for the microcurrent lifting and we spent about 45 minutes working my facial muscles. Really targeting my jawline, the lines around my eyes and frown lines, Tereska gently gripped my skin between the prongs holding each movement for maybe 10 or 12 seconds. After the initial phase of holding each movement, she then repeated the same pattern but much faster, reminding my muscles of the movement.

In the final part of the treatment Tereska applied a silicon mask and alternated the current on the electrical prongs to open and close my pores, maximising the effect of the moisturiser.

How did you look/feel afterwards?

Firstly – it’s worth saying that I’m still just about in my 20s. My skin is starting to age but it’s really a case of fine lines and a slight lack of definition around my jaw. I work hard to look after my skin so I wasn’t expecting much change.

After the treatment I retreated back to the well-lit changing rooms to examine my skin. It was an odd sensation knowing that I looked slightly different but with no single obvious change. My skin was smoother and plumper, my jaw line more defined, and the frown lines on my forehead were definitely softened. I looked like me… but on a very good day. A day where I wasn’t worried about my to-do list, the pollution levels in the city, or not getting enough sleep the previous night.

The changes were temporary. Three days after the treatment, the only place that still shows signs of improvement are my frown lines. Tereska told me that it would take a course of 10 to really improve my skin condition and muscle tone – and then I would need to have the treatment topped up every couple of months.

Who would like this treatment?

The treatment works in different ways for different people. The change to my skin was subtle but most definitely welcome. However, if you speak to Sybaritic Spy (who has just turned 60) about the treatment, she will tell you that it dramatically changes the way her skin looks. Whether you’re in your late 20s or 30s and you want your skin to regain the bounce of youth, or if you’re a little older and want help with the appearance of fine lines, a non surgical jowl lift or eye lift or to target the delicate eye area, the Caci firming skincare will help you along the way. It's also a great alternative to dermal fillers. I think the treatment would also suit men who would like to turn back the signs of ageing. With over 20 years medical research behind it, the Caci facial is a scientific treatment that produces visible results.
