Lift and tone facial muscles with CACI in Oxford. Non surgical microcurrent treatment for improved contour, firmness and skin radiance at our doctor led clinic.
CACI Treatment Overview
CACI is one of the most recognised non-surgical facial toning systems worldwide, designed to lift and firm facial muscles, improve skin texture and enhance natural contours. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford, CACI treatments are delivered within a doctor-led environment, ensuring safety, quality and personalised care.
CACI uses advanced microcurrent technology to gently stimulate facial muscles in a way that mirrors the body’s natural electrical signals. This allows for subtle yet effective lifting of the cheeks, jawline and brow, while also improving circulation, lymphatic drainage and overall skin vitality. Over a course of treatments, the face appears more lifted, defined and refreshed.
Many patients choose CACI because it provides visible improvement without needles, heat or downtime. It is suitable for most skin types and can be tailored to target concerns such as loss of firmness, dull skin, fine lines, puffiness or tired-looking eyes.
CACI Eye Revive: A targeted treatment designed to lift and firm the delicate eye area, helping to reduce puffiness, soften fine lines and refresh tired-looking eyes.
CACI Jowl Lift: Focused on the lower face, this treatment helps improve jawline definition and reduce the appearance of sagging around the mouth and jowls.
CACI Toning Facial: A full facial muscle toning treatment that lifts, firms and sculpts the face while improving circulation and skin radiance.
CACI Ultimate Facial: A comprehensive CACI experience combining advanced microcurrent lifting with skin rejuvenation techniques for maximum toning, firmness and glow.
CACI uses low-level electrical impulses known as microcurrents to stimulate the deeper facial muscles. These microcurrents mimic the body’s natural bioelectrical signals, gently contracting and re-educating facial muscles over time.
Treatment is delivered using two handheld probes that glide across the skin with a conductive gel. The microcurrents help to:
Over a course of treatments, facial muscles become stronger and more lifted, resulting in improved contour, reduced sagging and a fresher, more energised appearance.
Advanced programmes such as CACI Eye Revive and Celluma LED therapy can further support concerns including puffiness, sensitivity, dehydration and dullness.
Your CACI treatment begins with a consultation and skin assessment. A conductive gel is applied to allow smooth movement of the microcurrent probes. The sensation is gentle, with light tingling or subtle muscle contractions, but no discomfort.
The practitioner follows specific lifting movements across targeted areas such as the jawline, cheeks, brow or eye area. A full facial treatment typically lasts between forty-five and seventy-five minutes.
Your skin will feel firmer, fresher and more hydrated immediately after treatment. Many patients notice a visible lift after just one session, although longer-lasting results develop with a course of treatments. There is no redness, heat or downtime, and makeup can be applied straight away.
CACI treatments involve little to no recovery time. Mild redness or temporary sensitivity may occur in very reactive skin types but usually settles quickly. Most patients experience immediate improvements in brightness and firmness, with cumulative lifting effects developing over several weeks.
After CACI, you can continue your normal skincare routine. Avoid strong exfoliants or aggressive active ingredients for the rest of the day. Hydration and daily SPF are recommended to maintain skin health. For optimal results, a structured course followed by maintenance sessions is advised.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
I had two waxings and a biofacial today. Holly was excellent, knowledgeable, and impeccable in her attention. The products also felt really lovely – the hot wax was painless and the facial products felt luxurious. The whole experience was the best I’ve ever had. Will come back.
I go to Cannelle for facials, manicures and pedicures. They are professional, skilled, and attentive to my needs. It’s a lovely and relaxing environment. Mursal gives such wonderful treatments. She is very knowledgable about skin care and very gentle in the application of the products. I see her every 6 weeks for a facial and my skin has never looked better.
Patients often choose CACI when they want to improve facial tone, enhance contour and restore skin radiance without invasive treatments. A typical journey begins with a course of eight to twelve sessions, performed weekly or twice weekly to retrain facial muscles.
Once the initial course is completed, maintenance treatments every four to six weeks help preserve results. CACI is frequently combined with treatments such as Hydrafacial, microneedling or skin boosters as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
Because results are gradual and natural, CACI is suitable for adults of all ages seeking subtle, refined improvement.
CACI offers a gentle yet effective approach to facial lifting and toning by stimulating underlying muscles and supporting skin vitality. It enhances facial contours, softens fine lines, reduces puffiness and boosts circulation, resulting in a smoother, brighter and more energised complexion. With regular treatments, CACI helps maintain long-term muscle tone and firmness without downtime or invasive techniques.
