What exactly 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?

Microcurrent treatment is virtually sub-sensory with just a slight tingling sensation. Clients often describe it as an energised or warm sensation on the skin and is virtually painless.

Is microcurrent safe?

Yes. 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.

How many treatments are required?

Although a remarkable difference is seen after the first treatment, the benefits of microcurrent are cumulative and typically a course of 10 treatments will be required in order to appreciate optimum results.

What happens after I have finished a course of treatments?

After a course of CACI Microcurrent Facial 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. Top up treatments are 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.

​Are there any pre-treatment and post-treatment care instructions?

Yes! Please refer to our protocols section for more information.

What is the difference between a CACI microcurrent facial and HIFU?

CACI stimulates the muscles to tighten and tone, alongside lymphatic drainage whereas HIFU generates collagen for improved skin texture.

HIFU stands for ‘High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound’ and it is a non-surgical facial treatment that uses ultrasound to lift the face and tone loose or sagging skin. HIFU deposits focused ultrasound energy below the surface of the skin, contracting the facial layer and stimulating the creation of new collagen in the area. HIFU is highly effective in toning and lifting the skin.
