What is microcurrent facial technology?

Microcurrent facial technology is an anti-ageing treatment which makes use of electricity to promote cell growth within the skin. It is non-invasive, painless and won’t require any injections. In addition to this, the benefits are almost immediate, and there is practically no recovery time. CACI Synergy and NuFACE machines are used as a sort of facial gym, in that they help to provide facial muscles with a workout. Microcurrent facial systems use low-voltage zaps to stimulate the muscles, stimulate collagen, tighten the appearance of the skin and promote ATP (adenosine triphosphate) cell growth. This increase in cellular activity helps to reduce wrinkles. Microcurrent facial technology can help with the following:

• Facial toning • Under-eye circles and bags • Sagging skin around the neck and jaw • Fine lines • Wrinkles • Can create a slimming effect

What is the difference between CACI Synergy and NuFACE?

Both CACI Synergy and NuFACE are microcurrent facial treatments. In this article, we’re going to focus on the strengths of each device to help you understand which is the right handset for your beauty treatments.

CACI Synergy

CACI Synergy is a professional device.It features four prongs which feature specially designed cotton buds at the end. These buds are pre-soaked with an anti-ageing serum. The CACI Synergy device is particularly useful in that it has a variety of different settings for different parts of the neck and face, and can be quickly adjusted without the need to change the head of the device. It also has a wide range of a handsets to compliment the treatment with different technologies.

However, the biggest difference between CACI and NUFACE is that CACI delivers the energy through the double probes instead of one, this way the muscles can be pinched and the energy can be driven directly to their belly, which is required in order to re- educate the muscle. With single probe we can only work superficially, which is great to keep your skin hydrated and skin cells re-energized in between professional treatments like CACI.

We have 32 muscle groups, which are in diferrent directions and while some muscles need to be shortened, others need to be lenghtened. Strectching the muscle will lenghten it, while pinching will make it contract. You really need double probes to be able to isolate the muscles and work from the origin of your muscles.

The latest CACI Synergy system introduces a pioneering simultaneous photo electrical delivery microcurrent facial technology. This technology, known as SPED, allows for a variety of skin rejuvenation options within one simple yet advanced product. CACI Synergy also operates using multiple waveforms, which allows the user to determine the depth of current depending on which muscles they are treating. With dual-action red/blue LED and microcurrent energy, tissue regeneration and collagen production is increased hugely in comparison to similar devices on the market. The synergy of simultaneous LED technology helps promote longer-lasting, more visible results.

NuFACE

Unlike CACI Synergy, NuFACE features interchangeable heads. This means users will have to switch heads depending on which area of the body they wish to treat. NuFACE makes use of red light technology to help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It requires a primer gel which must be smoothed over the treatment area to help improve conductivity. For those who wish to deliver targeted treatment to the lip and eye areas with the NuFACE device, it is necessary to purchase an additional ELE head. This option features longer prongs for deeper treatment, although some find the need to buy additional peripherals as an inconvenience.

CACI Synergy Options & Prices

CACI Synergy vs. NuFACE: which device is right for me?

While both devices perform the same basic function, we have to recommend the CACI Synergy as the microcurrent facial treatment of choice. This is because it is professional, has double the power compared to NUFACE, offers deeper penetration, and longer-lasting results. With much more technology under the hood, it makes sense to choose the device which provides a more all-round treatment for the face, neck, forehead, lips and more.

Does CACI Synergy microcurrent facial treatment hurt?

Treatment with the CACI Synergy device is pain-free. While you may experience a gentle, zappy feeling, overall this non-invasive treatment won’t cause any issues. Occasionally, when the current is applied to nerves attached to the muscle, you may experience a slight “jumping” or twitching of the muscle. This doesn’t cause any pain, and instead the muscle will simply feel “alive”. In fact, most people who undergo this treatment actually enjoy the feeling, as it demonstrates that something is happening within the facial muscles and that a microcurrent connection has been made. It’s almost as if you can feel the muscles being fine-tuned! Ultimately, you should think of CACI Synergy treatment as a sort-of facial gym. You’re giving your facial muscles a workout while helping to stimulate the production of collagen and cells.

How long does a CACI Synergy microcurrent facial take?

This non-invasive, pain-free microcurrent facials can take between 20 to 90 minutes to perform, depending on the facial you choose. SPED technology helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and promote collagen growth and cell stimulation. It is important to understand that CACI Synergy microcurrent facial results can vary, and that it takes more than a single treatment to achieve the best possible results. Microcurrent treatments are cumulative, which means a schedule of treatments on a regular basis will add up to have a long-lasting effect. Treatment plans can vary depending on the person. Some may want to use CACI Synergy at their leisure, while others may want to achieve results in as fast a time frame as possible. It is recommended that treatments with CACI Synergy are scheduled twice a week for a period of five to seven weeks. After this, the muscles begin to become attuned to the treatment, at which point many people opt for monthly treatments. However, it is important to follow a schedule as devised by your aesthetician.

Is there anybody who should avoid using CACI Synergy?

Because CACI Synergy is non-invasive, it is safe for all skin types and suitable for use on most people. However, those who have had face fillers or injections recently might not benefit from CACI Synergy treatment in quite the same way. This is because many invasive fillers feature neurotoxins that tend to freeze the facial muscles, and this could impede upon the efficacy of the CACI Synergy system.

Also it is not recommended to those who have pacemaker, suffers from skin diseases and disorders, has epilepsy, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, thrmobosis/ phlebitis, varicose veins. It is also not recommended to have it done during the pregnancy.

Understanding how to use CACI Synergy

It is worth mentioning that in order to get the best possible results, you should apply microcurrent facial treatment regularly and consistently. The effects of CACI Synergy microcurrent facial treatment add up and last longer with each subsequent treatment. CACI Synergy treatments provide a modality that requires consistency, and it is recommended that you opt for a weekly treatment. However, regardless of how you schedule your treatments, it is important to understand how to use the technology correctly. If you are new to microcurrent facials, you may benefit from having an aesthetician demonstrating how to work the device according to your skin. While it makes sense to start with baseline settings, the real creativity comes from an in-depth knowledge of how microcurrent facial technology works. In order to re-educate muscles, the microcurrent from the CACI Synergy device must be driven directly to the belly of the facial muscles. The double probe of the device should pinch the muscle from each side, and it can be useful to have an understanding of facial anatomy to get the best possible results. To be retrained, some facial muscles require contraction, whereas others need to be lengthened. If CACI Synergy treatment is performed incorrectly, you won’t see the desired result - or you certainly won’t witness the full potential of the device.

Are there any treatments to be used in conjunction with CACI Synergy?

It is recommended that each CACI Synergy treatment is followed up with the application of the CACI Amino-Peptide Complex Cream. This will help protect your skin and could also improve the results of your microcurrent facial treatment. For further information on products that can be applied post-treatment, please feel free to consult with the Wimbledon Clinic Aesthetics team. Because microcurrent facial treatment is non-invasive, you should be able to apply any creams which are part of your current skin regime, although we recommend discussing this with your aesthetician first to ensure you get the best possible results from your treatment.
