Anti-Ageing Treatments: CACI Synergy Microcurrent Facial vs Botox
What is a CACI Synergy Microcurrent Facial?
CACI stands for Computer-Aided Cosmetology Instrument. This mainly relates to the wand used during treatment sessions and the advanced technology behind it.
Originally it was invented as a treatment for facial palsy. However, its positive effects on your skin became somewhat of a red carpet beauty secret, and now the microcurrent facial is widely used as an anti-ageing procedure.
CACI Synergy offers an even more advanced system for skin rejuvenation and facial toning as it harnesses SPED technology. This provides dual-action treatment and a longer-lasting effect than other CACI facials.
A Workout for Your Skin
At Wimbledon Clinic Aesthetics, we like to think of it as a facial gym. This is because the treatment targets both the skin’s epidermis layer as well as the muscles underneath, giving your face a workout that you will not be able to find anywhere else. The microcurrent stimulates the muscles in your face, toning them and adding youthful vitality. Put simply, it re-educates the muscles to strengthen them like they were in younger years.
Producing New Collagen
As an added bonus, this type of stimulation encourages collagen and elastin production. Collagen is a vital protein found in the muscles and skin that slows the signs of ageing and helps to repair any damage.
We naturally produce less collagen as we age, so stimulating its production is necessary to recreate a youthful radiance. Similarly, elastin helps our skin to stay springy and expressive. It allows the skin to bounce back after stretching from facial expressions, making sure it does not leave any permanent lines or creases on the skin.
Why should I choose CACI?
Regular CACI Synergy microcurrent facials can lift the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. It can also lead to softer skin and a more contoured facial structure as the muscles tone.
CACI treatment can improve specific areas, such as targeted jowl lifting and other signs of ageing or sagging on your face and neck. Whilst we recommend regular treatments, you can usually see visible results after your first treatment.
When you come into the clinic, you will have an initial consultation with one of our qualified and professional CACI Synergy experts. With their trained eye, they will examine your skin, analyse its condition and be able to offer you personalised treatment options.
We can work together to find the best regimen that keeps in mind our analysis and any goals you have for your appearance. By using microcurrent facials, we offer a non-invasive and non-surgical anti-ageing treatment. This is perfect if you fear needles or the possible adverse side effects of undergoing surgery, fillers or Botox.
Microcurrent Facials vs Botox
Completely Natural Treatment
Where Botox involves injecting chemicals into the skin, CACI Synergy is non-invasive.
This means zero chemicals are being put into your body. Instead, it uses electricity and LED therapy to create microcurrents.
The microcurrent facial stimulates muscle toning and promotes the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. As these are natural processes, they lead to natural-looking results. There is no danger of feeling like you have gone too far or that you no longer look like yourself.
As the treatment develops new collagen and elastin, some even suggest that regular microcurrent facials can replace Botox entirely. Because CACI Synergy is a non-invasive and non-surgical option, it does not carry the same risks associated with Botox injections.
Painless Treatment Option
A common worry with Botox is potential bruising and pain at the injection site. A microcurrent facial is a painless treatment that will not harm the skin.
It is possible to feel a tingling sensation as it exercises the muscles, but this should not feel uncomfortable for you. Botox, like CACI Synergy, will show some immediate effects, but there is often a settling period as the skin heals from the injections.
A microcurrent facial has no settling period, and while some long-term goals will take more than one treatment, you will leave with visible improvements without any redness or swelling.
Botox freezes the muscles to prevent signs of ageing, whereas microcurrent facials stimulate those muscles. The advantage is that CACI Synergy does not cause muscle atrophy, which weakens facial muscles over time. Botox, however, can cause this, as well as frozen facial expressions. This is one of the main reasons to favour microcurrent treatments.
CACI Synergy with Botox
CACI Synergy and Botox injections use opposite techniques to achieve the same goals. So it might surprise you to consider using both together, but using a combination of microcurrent facials and Botox with professional guidance is safe.
There are even some benefits to using both, which can help you get the most out of each treatment:

Benefits of Using Both
Depending on your skin, the treatments you use and your desired outcome, CACI Synergy can be used either before Botox injections or when the effects of Botox are running out.
When used before Botox, it will help breathe life back into frozen muscles. This can help Botox last for longer.
If you have a microcurrent facial as you see signs of the Botox fading, this can make the muscles reactive again, building tone and firmness on your face and neck.
It is always best to consult with a professional to find a safe and effective combination. Overall, using both techniques for anti-ageing can produce immediate and long-lasting results. If you are not quite ready to give up on Botox, this could be the perfect regimen for you, as microcurrent facials can increase the time between Botox injections.
Equally, because CACI treatment engages the skin differently than Botox and fillers, CACI Synergy might be able to improve areas that Botox and fillers cannot.
