The non-surgical facial that actually works.

Market Harborough's most experienced CACI specialists. Eight treatments. Eighteen years. Real results.

Not a trend. A treatment.

CACI stands for Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument. It was originally developed in the 1990s for treating facial palsy and muscle wastage — medical conditions where the muscles of the face had lost tone, strength or function. Clinicians discovered that the gentle microcurrent used to rehabilitate damaged muscles also had remarkable cosmetic benefits: lifting sagging skin, smoothing fine lines, and restoring definition to the jawline and cheekbones.

Over the past three decades, CACI has become the most widely researched and clinically proven non-surgical facial treatment in the world. It is used in over 50 countries and has won more industry awards than any other facial system. It is not a trend. It is not a fad. It is a serious, evidence-based treatment backed by real science and trusted by professionals.

The treatment works by sending tiny, sub-sensory electrical impulses into the facial muscles and skin. These impulses mirror the body's own bioelectrical field — the natural current your body uses to maintain muscle tone. As we age, this natural current diminishes, and with it, muscle tone and skin elasticity. CACI essentially re-educates your muscles, reminding them how to hold themselves. At the same time, the microcurrent stimulates the production of collagen and elastin — the two proteins responsible for firm, plump, youthful skin.

What it does

  • Lifts and tones sagging facial muscles, particularly around the jawline, cheeks and brow
  • Smooths fine lines and softens deeper wrinkles through collagen and elastin stimulation
  • Improves skin texture, hydration and radiance by enhancing blood flow and cellular turnover
  • Reduces puffiness and dark circles around the eye area through lymphatic drainage
  • Helps to repair and prevent acne scarring, sun damage and uneven skin tone
  • Provides a natural, non-invasive alternative to Botox, fillers and surgery with zero downtime

One important thing

CACI is cumulative. A single treatment will give you an immediate lift — your skin will look tighter, your face will feel more defined, and people may well tell you that you look well. But the real transformation happens over a course of treatments. We recommend a minimum of 10 sessions, taken once or twice per week, followed by monthly maintenance. Each session builds on the last, training your muscles to hold their new position and encouraging your skin to produce more of its own collagen. Think of it like going to the gym for your face. One session feels good. A course changes everything.

"CACI is the only treatment I recommend to clients who want visible, lasting results without needles. After eighteen years, I have never found anything that comes close."
— Vicky, founder of Unique Beauty Therapy

Our full CACI menu.

Eight specialist treatments, each designed to target specific concerns. Your therapist will recommend the right one for you during your consultation.

CACI Signature

The gold standard non-surgical facial.

75 minutes £[TBC]

This is our core CACI treatment and the one most clients begin with. The CACI Signature uses precise microcurrent impulses delivered through cotton-tipped probes to lift and tone every facial muscle, one by one. Your therapist works methodically across the face — lifting the brow, defining the cheekbones, firming the jawline, and smoothing the neck.

The treatment also includes a hydrating mask to nourish the skin while the microcurrent does its work beneath the surface. You will see an immediate difference after your first session — a visible lift, improved skin tone, and a fresher, more awake appearance.

For best results, we recommend a course of 10 to 12 treatments taken once or twice per week, followed by monthly maintenance sessions.

What it targets:

  • Sagging cheeks and loss of facial definition
  • Drooping brow and hooded eyes
  • Fine lines and dull, tired skin
  • Jawline softening and early jowl formation
  • Overall loss of muscle tone and skin elasticity

CACI Ultimate

Our most comprehensive anti-ageing facial.

90 minutes £[TBC]

The CACI Ultimate combines everything from the Signature treatment with the addition of the Wrinkle Comb — a specialist tool that delivers a concentrated microcurrent directly into deeper lines and wrinkles. This dual approach means you get the full-face lift and tone of the Signature, plus targeted wrinkle reduction on problem areas like crow's feet, forehead lines, the nasolabial folds, and lip lines.

The treatment also includes an LED light therapy mask, which uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and accelerate skin healing. This is our most popular treatment for clients who want to address multiple signs of ageing in a single session.

What it targets:

  • Everything the Signature addresses, plus deeper expression lines
  • Crow's feet, forehead furrows and frown lines
  • Nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines)
  • Lip lines and smoker's lines
  • Skin inflammation, redness and uneven texture

CACI Jowl Lift

Jawline definition. Redefined.

30–45 minutes £[TBC]

The CACI Jowl Lift is a targeted treatment that focuses specifically on the lower face — the jawline, chin and neck area. Using quad-probe technology, your therapist works on the muscles responsible for holding the jawline in place, lifting and tightening the tissue that tends to sag with age and create the appearance of jowls.

This is a popular add-on to the Signature or Ultimate, or as a standalone treatment for clients whose primary concern is a softening jawline. The quad probes deliver a stronger, more focused current than the standard probes, making this particularly effective for areas where muscle tone has been lost over time.

What it targets:

  • Jowls and sagging along the jawline
  • Double chin and loss of chin definition
  • Neck laxity and turkey neck
  • Platysmal banding (visible neck muscles)

CACI Eye Revive

Brighter, firmer, more youthful eyes.

20–30 minutes £[TBC]

The CACI Eye Revive is a specialist treatment designed exclusively for the delicate orbital area — the skin around and beneath the eyes. Using precision microcurrent probes and a deeply hydrating eye mask infused with collagen and hyaluronic acid, this treatment lifts the brow, smooths crow's feet, reduces puffiness, and diminishes dark circles.

The eye area is one of the first places to show signs of ageing and fatigue, and it is also one of the most difficult to treat effectively. The Eye Revive is a focused, gentle treatment that delivers visible results even after the first session. It is an excellent add-on to any CACI facial, or as a standalone pick-me-up before a special event.

What it targets:

  • Crow's feet and fine lines around the eyes
  • Puffy, tired-looking eyes and under-eye bags
  • Dark circles and discolouration
  • Drooping brow and hooded eyelids
  • Dehydration and loss of elasticity in the eye area

CACI Hydrotone Facial

Deep hydration meets muscle toning.

60–75 minutes £[TBC]

The CACI Hydrotone combines microcurrent muscle toning with a deeply hydrating gel mask that delivers active ingredients into the skin using electrical stimulation. While the microcurrent works on lifting and firming the facial muscles, the hydrating mask floods the skin with moisture, hyaluronic acid and nourishing actives.

This is an ideal treatment for clients who want the benefits of CACI muscle toning alongside intensive skin hydration. It is particularly effective during winter months when skin tends to be drier, or for anyone with chronically dehydrated skin. The result is a plumper, more radiant complexion with visibly improved tone and texture.

What it targets:

  • Dehydrated, dry or dull skin
  • Loss of skin plumpness and volume
  • Fine lines caused by dehydration
  • Facial muscle sagging and loss of definition
  • Uneven skin tone and rough texture

CACI Wrinkle Revolution

Targeted wrinkle reduction for deeper lines.

30–45 minutes £[TBC]

The CACI Wrinkle Revolution uses the CACI Wrinkle Comb — a specialist applicator that emits a concentrated microcurrent waveform combined with LED light therapy. This dual-action technology is designed specifically for deeper expression lines: the furrows and creases that form from years of facial movement and that do not respond to surface-level treatments.

The Wrinkle Comb plumps and hydrates the skin from within by driving amino acid and collagen-stimulating signals directly into the wrinkle. The LED light component accelerates cell renewal and collagen synthesis. The result is visibly softer, shallower wrinkles and a smoother skin surface. This treatment can be taken as a standalone or as an add-on to any CACI facial.

What it targets:

  • Deep forehead lines and frown lines
  • Crow's feet and expression lines around the eyes
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Lip lines, smoker's lines and chin creases
  • Neck lines and horizontal creases

CACI Light Therapy LED

Heal. Calm. Regenerate.

20 minutes £[TBC]

CACI Light Therapy uses a medical-grade LED mask that delivers three specific wavelengths of light to the skin: red, blue and near-infrared. Each wavelength penetrates to a different depth and triggers a different biological response. Red light stimulates collagen production and increases circulation. Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria and calms inflammation. Near-infrared light penetrates the deepest, promoting cellular repair and reducing pain.

This is one of the most versatile treatments we offer. It can be used to treat acne, rosacea, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and general skin ageing. It is also an excellent recovery treatment after microdermabrasion or more intensive facial work. The treatment is painless, relaxing, and requires no downtime whatsoever.

What it targets:

  • Active acne, breakouts and blemish-prone skin
  • Rosacea, redness and skin sensitivity
  • Sun damage and pigmentation
  • General skin ageing and collagen loss
  • Post-treatment recovery and skin healing

CACI Microdermabrasion

Resurface. Refine. Reveal.

45 minutes £[TBC]

CACI Microdermabrasion uses a crystal-free orbital exfoliation system to gently resurface the skin, removing dead cells and stimulating new cell growth. Unlike traditional crystal microdermabrasion, the CACI system uses a smooth, orbital wand that is gentler on the skin while still delivering professional-grade exfoliation.

The treatment effectively smooths rough texture, reduces the appearance of acne scars, minimises enlarged pores, and evens out skin tone. It also enhances the penetration of active skincare ingredients, making it an excellent preparation treatment before a CACI facial or as a standalone skin-smoothing session. Your skin will feel immediately smoother, brighter and more refined.

What it targets:

  • Rough, uneven skin texture
  • Acne scarring and post-blemish marks
  • Enlarged pores and congestion
  • Dull, lacklustre complexion
  • Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

You don't have to be considering surgery.

CACI is not just for people who are thinking about going under the knife. It is for anyone who wants their skin to look better, feel firmer, and age more gracefully. Some of our clients are in their late twenties and using CACI preventatively. Others are in their sixties and seventies and looking for a visible lift without the risks, cost and recovery time of surgery.

The one thing all our CACI clients have in common is that they want results they can see, from a treatment that is safe, proven and non-invasive.

You're in the right place if:

  • You have noticed your face losing definition — your jawline is softer, your cheeks have dropped, or your brow feels heavier than it used to
  • You want to address fine lines and wrinkles without Botox, fillers or any kind of injection
  • You are looking for a preventative treatment to maintain your skin and muscle tone as you age
  • You want to look refreshed, lifted and well-rested — not "done" or different
  • You value treatments backed by clinical evidence and delivered by experienced, qualified therapists

If any of that sounds like you, we would love to talk. Call us on 01858 410 666 or get in touch online to book your consultation.

What to expect.

Your first CACI appointment begins with a thorough skin consultation. Your therapist will examine your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, review your medical history, and explain exactly how the treatment works. This is your chance to ask any questions and to make sure CACI is the right treatment for you.

If we are both happy to proceed, we will begin your first CACI session straight away. You will lie comfortably on a treatment bed while your therapist cleanses your skin and applies a conductive gel. The microcurrent is delivered using small cotton-tipped probes that are placed on precise points across your face, following the direction of each muscle. The sensation is a gentle tingling — most clients find it relaxing and many fall asleep.

A full Signature treatment takes around 75 minutes. Afterwards, your therapist will apply a hydrating serum and SPF. You will be able to see an immediate lift and glow in the mirror. There is no redness, no downtime and no recovery period. You can apply makeup and go straight back to your day.

Before you leave, we will discuss a treatment plan tailored to your goals and book your next appointment.

The results speak for themselves.

Questions we get asked a lot.

Does CACI hurt?

No. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle tingling or light prickling. The microcurrent is sub-sensory — meaning it works below the level of discomfort. Occasionally you may feel a slight fizzing around areas where muscles are tighter or more fatigued, but it should never be painful. If it is, we adjust the settings immediately. Many clients find the treatment so relaxing they fall asleep.

How many treatments will I need?

For best results, we recommend an initial course of 10 to 12 treatments taken close together — ideally twice per week, or at minimum once per week. This allows the microcurrent to build cumulative muscle tone and collagen stimulation. After the initial course, most clients move to monthly maintenance sessions to preserve their results. Think of it like going to the gym: one session feels good, but a course transforms your face.

How long do results last?

After a single treatment, you can expect results to last 48 to 72 hours as the muscles gradually return to their resting state. After a full course of 10 to 12 treatments, the cumulative lifting and toning effects are much longer-lasting — typically several months with monthly maintenance. Without maintenance, results will gradually diminish over 3 to 6 months, though they do not reverse overnight. Your skin will still be in better condition than before you started.

Is CACI suitable for my age or skin type?

CACI is suitable for most adults. We treat clients in their late twenties through to their seventies and beyond. Younger clients tend to use it preventatively — maintaining muscle tone and skin health before visible ageing begins. More mature clients often see the most dramatic results, particularly in jawline definition and cheek lift. CACI works on all skin types and tones. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and discuss any specific concerns to ensure the treatment is right for you.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are extremely rare. Some clients notice a slight redness immediately after treatment, similar to a mild flush, which settles within 30 minutes. Because CACI is non-invasive and uses a current that mirrors your body's own bioelectrical field, it is one of the safest professional facial treatments available. There is no downtime, no peeling, no bruising, and no recovery period. You can apply makeup and return to your day immediately.

Who should not have CACI?

CACI is not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker or heart condition, epilepsy, active cancer, metal pins or plates in the face, or during pregnancy. If you have any medical conditions or are unsure, please let us know during your consultation and we will advise you. Safety is always our first priority.

Can I combine CACI with other treatments?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our clients combine CACI with Dermalogica facials, LED light therapy, or microdermabrasion for enhanced results. In fact, several of our CACI treatments — like the CACI Ultimate and CACI Hydrotone — already combine microcurrent with additional technologies. We can build a treatment plan that addresses all of your skin concerns. Just speak to your therapist about what you would like to achieve.

How does CACI compare to Botox or fillers?

CACI and injectables work in completely different ways. Botox paralyses muscles to reduce movement and smooth lines. Fillers add volume beneath the skin. CACI, by contrast, works with your body — re-educating and toning facial muscles, stimulating your own collagen production, and improving circulation. The result is a natural, lifted appearance without frozen expressions, without chemicals, and without needles. Many clients choose CACI specifically because they want to look like the best version of themselves, not a different person. Others use CACI alongside conservative injectables to extend the life of their results.
