FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CACI stands for Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument. It’s a microcurrent machine that transmits tiny electrical signals through the skin – it works to boost skin texture, tone and shape.
What is CACI?
How does it work?
The CACI Synergy system uses LED light therapy (warm coloured light) to penetrate the skin. This, combined with microcurrent facial toning, regenerates skin tissue, and helps to repair collagen. It's stellar combo of lymphatic drainage, peeling, cleansing and toning gets to work on deep lines too. Yep, it’s heroic.
What is microcurrent?
Microcurrent therapy delivers tiny electrical impulses that mirror the body’s own natural bioelectrical field. Microcurrent stimulation helps to re-educate the muscles and can lift, firm and tone. Microcurrent in aesthetics is commonly described as “facial toning” or “non-surgical face lifting” due to the dramatic lifting effect that it has on facial muscles and contours.
What does microcurrent feel like and is it safe?
Microcurrent treatment is virtually sub-sensory with just a slight tingling sensation. Customers often describe it as an energised or warm sensation on the skin and is virtually painless.
Yes, it is safe! Microcurrent therapy was originally developed as a medical application to treat facial palsy and restore muscle tone by applying tiny microcurrent impulses to the affected muscles. Today this proven technology is now available in thousands of aesthetic clinics worldwide as a painless cosmetic treatment.
S.P.E.D™ (Simultaneous Photo Electrical Delivery) microcurrent LED technology harnesses the power of LED light therapy at the same time as using CACI microcurrent. The powerful, high brilliance LED uses pulsed and continuous wave lengths for enhanced treatment results.
What is S.P.E.D™
microcurrent LED technology?
LED Light Therapy utilises the therapeutic properties of red light and blue light to calm the skin, neutralise bacteria and reduce redness in order to help tackle acne, blemishes and scar tissue.
Blue light calms the skin and destroys skin bacteria and red light stimulates new tissue growth and cellular regeneration. Combined red and blue light is extremely effective in the treatment of acne and blemishes.
What is LED Light Therapy?
How many treatments should I have?
Although a remarkable difference is seen after the first treatment, the benefits of microcurrent are cumulative and typically a course of 10-15 treatments will be required for optimum results.
What happens after I have finished a course of treatments?
After a course of CACI Non-Surgical Facial Toning treatments you will see real improvements in how your skin looks and feels. Your facial contours will look lifted and toned with a fresher, more youthful appearance. A monthly top up treatment is then recommended to maintain results.
What happens if I stop treatments?
It’s just like going to the gym for a body workout. If you stop, the results will gradually diminish and your facial muscles may eventually return to how they were before treatments commenced.
Will there be any recovery or downtime after my treatment?
No. CACI treatments are non-invasive and gentle on the skin so there is no interruption to your lifestyle.
I have some questions about treatments…
What is orbital microdermabrasion?
Our unique crystal-free microdermabrasion offers a precise and controlled skin exfoliation. The procedure diminishes fine lines and imperfections to achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion. The treatment combines orbital skin resurfacing, which is unique in the market, with LED light therapy to provide a gentle peel for sensitive skin or a deeper peel for thicker, sun damaged skin.
What does orbital microdermabrasion feel like?
The treatment doesn’t hurt at all. We use a ‘no dragging’ and ‘no pulling’ technique on the skin and simultaneous vibrations to make the treatment very comfortable.
The Electro Cellulite Massager (ECM) is an optional attachment that can be used in conjunction with all CACI systems that incorporate microcurrent technology.
The ECM attachment combines the therapeutic benefits of massage with the effectiveness of microcurrent therapy.
The unique design of the Electro Cellulite Massager utilizes 24-conductive rollers electrically charged with microcurrent to gently knead tired shoulders, soothe aching limbs and firm sagging muscles.
The rollers are designed to pivot to the body contours of each individual targeting specific problem areas. The stimulatory action of the Electro Cellulite Massager helps to break down fatty deposits, tone muscles and reduce inches.
