CACI non-surgical Facelift therapy.

The CACI treatment has had over 20 years of medical research behind it and is completely safe and painless.   It is the original non-surgical face and body lifting treatment which was devised by Dr. Thomas Wing of the United States.   Originally, the procedure was used to treat victims of bells palsy and strokes, but it was noted that when treating the affected side of the face, it actually lifted higher than the unaffected side.

In 1993 CACI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) first came to England and was given the name "the non-surgical facelift".   Previously the CACI system had only been used in the sports field for muscular injuries.   For example Carl Lewis from the USA medically endorses the treatment, and so does the Canadian Olympic Team.   CACI applications are also widely used in hospital burn units such as the Wellington Hospital, North London and by many physiotherapists for pain relief.

Kinesiologists (muscle specialist) have demonstrated that any muscle can be re-programmed to accept or release its tone.   The face has over thirty muscles that lie directly below, and are connected to, the skins surface.   When muscles are stimulated they either contact (shorten) or expand( lengthen).   It is the direction of stimulus that determines which reaction takes place and this will be dictated by the positioning of the probes over the muscles.

In either case, proper firmness is re-established through the non-surgical procedure by correcting the sagging muscle, which in turn corrects the sag of the skin.   The treatment also stimulates blood circulation, which helps improve muscle tone and counteract dryness.

The long term effects of life's stress, eventually show up somewhere on the body, and the face is one of the first places causing degeneration and sagging.   The telltale signs are these; the skin begins to dry out and blotches of discolouration appear, muscles lose their tone, cheeks and jowls start to sag, wrinkles spread and deepen.   The muscles  in the face are like small elastic bans under the skin.   As we grow older, they lose their natural firmness and elasticity, allowing the facial skin to sag.   This sagging becomes particularly noticeable around the mouth and chin, where even the slightest slackness has an undesirable effect on the facial appearance.

CACI's Micro-mode was designed to retard the signs of ageing, to keep the skin youthful and glowing, and to keep the facial muscles toned.

The treatment will stimulate the circulation of energy to the facial tissues and muscles.   This increases the rate that the skin produces proteins such as collagen and elastin and muscle tissue can be re-constructed.   It therefore deals with both the skin and the supporting muscle tissue beneath it.   It restores form and vitality to facial muscles that have gone soft due to the lack of use and lack of circulation.

It is designed to give gentle exercise to the facial muscles, tightening and firming them, to reduce slackness and restore natural contour.   Due to the sensitivity of the facial muscles, and the degree of exercise, facial improvements takes longer than improving the figure.   the treatments improve lymphatic drainage of the face resulting in improvements in complexion and reduction of eye bags.   It can be used to soften scar tissue, lighten the colour of the skin and reduce the size of enlarged pores.

Latest News - Spring 2005

CACI have just launched a new type of  soft cotton tipped buds individually filled with a pre-measured amount of electrically conductive treatment serum to enhance micro current treatment results.

"Instant firming serum" contains active hexaperides designed to firm, tone and redefine facial contours.    The patented application system keeps the "instant firming serum" airtight to maintain the serum's potency.

This product would be particularly effective on the more mature person to reduce deeper lines.
