CACI at The Alchemist Spa

All your questions answered…

If you’re one of the many people in Woolacombe, Ilfracombe, Barnstaple, or across North Devon looking for a way to achieve firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin without surgery, we have thrilling news.

The Alchemist Spa is proud to announce the launch of CACI (Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument) treatments!

Dubbed by the media as “the non-surgical facelift,” CACI has been the secret weapon of celebrities for years, renowned for its ability to visibly lift, tone, and firm facial muscles using advanced microcurrent technology. It’s safe, painless, and your new best friend in the quest for a more youthful look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Because we know this is an investment in your skin, we’ve put together a comprehensive Q&A covering everything you need to know about CACI, why a course of treatments is essential, and how we can tailor it for you, right here in our peaceful Woolacombe spa.

CACI uses microcurrent technology, which essentially delivers tiny electrical impulses that mirror your body’s own natural bio-electrical current. Think of it as a low-level, high-tech workout for your facial muscles.

Over time, our facial muscles lose tone and begin to sag. CACI gently re-educates those muscles, helping them to lift, firm, and maintain their definition. The treatment is completely non-invasive, virtually sub-sensory (most clients only feel a slight tingling or warm sensation), and works deep beneath the skin to:

  • Lift and tone facial contours (especially jawline and cheekbones).
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Improve skin texture and elasticity by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

This is the most important question for long-term results! The benefits of CACI, much like going to the gym, are cumulative.

While you will see a noticeable lift and glow after your very first treatment – which is fantastic for a special occasion – a course is required to re-educate the muscles and achieve lasting change.

We recommend a course of 10-15 appointments over a month followed by a once-monthly maintenance treatment. Once you complete your course, your muscles have built up their ‘memory’ and the monthly top-up is all that is needed to maintain that beautiful, lifted result. If you stop the treatments entirely, the results will gradually diminish, just like skipping your gym routine!

Absolutely not! CACI is completely non-invasive, so there is zero downtime. You can apply makeup immediately and get straight back to enjoying the North Devon coast, whether you’re strolling on Woolacombe Beach or heading back to work.

Treatments last between 40 – 60 minutes; appointments are available early morning and in the evening, should you like to come along before or after a busy day!

Relaxation is key! Our CACI treatments are widely described as painless and deeply relaxing, often to the point where clients fall asleep.

The treatment begins with a consultation to tailor the facial to your specific needs. Your skin will be gently cleansed and prepared. Using the conductive Electro Gloves, your therapist will deliver the gentle microcurrents, moving and manipulating the 32 facial muscles.

You might feel a mild, momentary tingling sensation or a gentle contraction of the muscles, but never pain. The process is completely safe and works in harmony with your body’s natural bio-electrical field.

 

CACI is a wonderfully safe and gentle treatment, but there are a few important exceptions to ensure your safety:

We are unable to offer this facial over any areas that have received Botox treatment within the last 3 months.

We cannot offer this treatment to anyone who has a pacemaker, is suffering from Epilepsy, or is pregnant.

(Your therapist will conduct a full consultation to check for other contraindications)

 

You will often see an immediate difference after just one session—many clients notice visibly lifted and toned facial contours and a brighter, more radiant complexion right away. This is why CACI is perfect for a pre-event boost!

However, the best, long-lasting results are achieved with the full course of treatments:

After a full course (10-15 sessions): You can expect significant improvements in the overall tone and lift of your face, a reduction in the depth of fine lines and wrinkles, and a smoother, firmer, more youthful appearance.

Long-Term: By adhering to the recommended monthly maintenance treatments, you can sustain these impressive results, making CACI a cornerstone of your anti-ageing skincare routine.
