CACI facials have been at the forefront of skincare treatment for over 26 years, but there are still heaps of us who have no clue what’s involved. ‘CACI facials deliver dramatic results without the need for surgical intervention’ – explains Pamela Kennedy, Salon Manager of Seduire London Beauty Clinic – ‘they’re the ultimate anti-ageing treatment system’. We’ve tried it, celebs keep trying out, here’s what’s involved (if you try it too).

1 Are there different versions?
Yep, five. The Classic – boasting the original innovative technology now referred to as the ‘non-surgical face lift. The Quantum – adds body toning to The Classic’s offering. The Ultra – its handset buzzes at 27,000 vibrations per second to exfoliate and deep cleanse, The Ultimate – combines all the above, as well as crystal-free microdermabrasion. Finally, The Synergy – with the latest microcurrent LED technology, for more visible, long-lasting results.

2 What does it mean?
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.

3 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.

4 There's a treatment for everyone
‘All CACI facial treatments are high-tech, that means they’re suited to all skin types’, says Pamela. ‘They’re designed for facial toning, microdermabrasion, skin rejuvenation, and hydration,’ she adds. So, for treating dry skin, targeting fine lines, and easing acne scars, this state-of-the-art tech is a good place to start.

5 The extra bits to know
- Before your first CACI, you’ll chat through the process with your technician – that's called a consultation.
- You’ll be advised on the aftercare, to keep that fresh-faced feeling lasting longer.
- The treatment feels warm on the skin, but it’s totally comfortable.
- The Synergy treatment takes 90 minutes, we’d suggest a course of 15 treatments followed by monthly sessions.
