The CACI Hand Rejuvenation Treatment is CACI’s newest treatment which treats the hands with a unique combination of their new Rejuvenating Hand Mask and Electro Glove technology.
Hands can be one of the first areas to display signs of ageing, they are also constantly exposed to the elements often causing the skin to become sun- damaged, dry, cracked and dehydrated.
This treatment will leave your hands feeling silky smooth and looking visibly softer and more youthful.
What Does the CACI Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Involve?
It involves the application of the CACI Rejuvenating Hand Masks, then inserting the hands into the CACI Electro Gloves (made from a special electrically conductive material). The Gloves are then connected to the CACI machine, which produces tiny electrical impulses which deliver the rejuvenating effect.
The Hand mask is an intensive skin conditioning glove which contains powerful ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolysed Collagen and Shea Butter. These ingredients help combat the sign of ageing by softening the skin and smoothing the appearance of fine lines.
The electrical pulses help deliver the product into the skin and boost the circulation, as well as stimulate collagen. This improves skin firmness and also leaves your hands feeling soft, supple and rehydrated.
How Often Should I Have a treatment?
You can have a course of treatments. Similar to other CACI treatments, a course of 10 is usually required for best results, ideally two a week.
However, you can have a one-off treatment to give your hands a treat and enhance their hydration.
How Long Does the CACI Hand Rejuvenation Treatment Take?
The treatment takes 30 minutes.
You can have the treatment on its own, but it is more popular as an add-on treatment as we can treat your hands at the same time as some of our CACI facial treatments. This means the total treatment time is only an extra 10 minutes.
The Ultimate Hand Rejuvenation Treatment
The Ultimate Hand Rejuvenation Treatment involves the above CACI hand treatment combined with our popular Biorepeel TCA peel.
This treatment Combines the CACI Hand Rejuvenation with a Biorepeel.
The peel component improves collagen stimulation and resurfaces the skin, improving skin tone and texture while reducing pigmentation.
This treatment takes 40 mins but is 20 minutes as an add-on treatment.
It can be performed every two to three weeks, and you can perform the standard CACI treatment in between.
Which CACI Treatments can I add the Hand Treatment to?
The CACI Hand Rejuvenation treatment is £47 on its own, or £27 when added to another CACI treatment on the same visit, so it is more cost-effective as an add-on.
The CACI Eye Revive treatment is performed by our Cheshire Lasers aestheticians in Middlewich.
The new CACI Eye Revive treatment is a must-have for anyone concerned with ageing around the delicate eye area.
This gentle treatment:
Soothes tired, puffy eyes
Combats dark circles
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Lifts hooded eyes
What is a CACI Eye Revive treatment?
The CACI Eye Revive treatment involves three steps.
Step 1:
This involves micro-current to gently tighten and tone sagging muscles around the eye area whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Step 2:
The treatment then uses serum-filled CACI micro-current eye rollers to infuse the CACI Eye Revive serum deep into the skin. The roller ball is used to perform a drainage massage. The drainage massage helps to eliminate toxins around the eye area these actions help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
The Eye Revive serum contains REGU®-AGE and other clinically effective ingredients which, have been shown to reduce puffiness by up to 31% and dark circles up to 35%.
Step 3:
The deeply nourishing Hydro Eye Mask is then applied to soothe and calm the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles further.
The Hydro Eye Mask feels and smells divine. The cooling sensation around the eyes is relaxing and leaves the eyes looking brighter and more hydrated. The mask contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, green tea and cucumber to help plump out fine lines and wrinkles.
While the mask is in place we work over it with the CACI Hydratone rollers. These gently massage the eye area and deliver micro-current through the mask, helping the ingredients absorb while continuing to restore firmness and muscle tone around the eyes.
Am I suitable for a CACI Eye Revive treatment?
The CACI Eye Revive treatment is suitable for all skin types and delivers impressive results to keep you looking fresh and revived.
How many Eye Revive treatments will I need?
Cheshire Lasers recommends a course of ten CACI Eye Revive treatments for optimum results. We also advise you to book the sessions close together; however, a one-off session is also beneficial and the perfect ‘pick me up’. It instantly wakes tired eyes and makes you feel vibrant and confident.
If you have a wedding or a special occasion coming up, a one-off will give a quick lift around the eye area. The perfect confidence boost!
It takes around 35 minutes per session. So you could have one in your lunch break and go back to work all revived!
At Cheshire Lasers, we often combine the CACI Eye Revive with other CACI treatments. The most popular combination is the CACI Jowl Lift with the Eye Revive.
Your first CACI Eye Revive — £42, an introductory offer
Subsequent treatments — £47
Added to another CACI treatment — £42, booked as part of that appointment
Book your CACI Eye Revive
Your first CACI Eye Revive is £42 as a trial price. The appointment allows extra time for a brief consultation about the treatment beforehand, so you do not need a separate consultation first.

CACI stands for Computer Aided Cosmetology Instrument. It uses a gentle micro-current to tone and lift the facial muscles, and the results can be dramatic enough that the CACI Classic became known as “The Non-Surgical Facelift”. It is backed by over twenty years of research and is the best known micro-current system in the industry.
All our CACI treatments are carried out at our Middlewich clinic. Prices are per treatment, and a course of 10 – 12 treatments is usually recommended for the best results.
The Classic CACI Non-Surgical Facelift – £61
Uses micro-current energy on the facial muscles to restore tone and elasticity. Takes 50 minutes.
The Super CACI Non-Surgical Facelift – £73.50
A more intensive treatment aimed at mature skin types and those with specific concerns. It concentrates on areas of laxity and takes 70 minutes.
Developed specifically to target muscle laxity around the jawline, lifting and firming the muscles and refining the jawline. Takes approximately 15 minutes.
Treats the hands with a combination of the CACI Rejuvenating Hand Mask and Electro Glove technology. Takes 30 minutes. £27 if added to another CACI treatment on the same visit.
The Hydratone mask will instantly rehydrate, revitalise and plump the skin. It combines the active micro-current rollers, which restore muscle tone and firmness, with hydrating ingredients driven deep into the skin. It has an immediate cooling effect that will soothe and calm any skin redness and irritation.
A BioRePeel also works well alongside a course of CACI treatments.

How many CACI treatments do I need?
You can usually see visible results after the very first treatment, but a course of 10 – 12 treatments is generally recommended. After a course of CACI facial toning treatments, facial contours will look lifted and toned. We recommend a monthly top-up treatment to maintain results.

The CACI Jowl Lift has been developed to target muscle laxity around the jawline. It aims to improve the appearance of sagging jowls by lifting and firming facial contours to help achieve a natural, younger look without discomfort or downtime.
What is CACI?
CACI stands for Computer-Aided Cosmetology Instrument and is a system used for non-surgical facelifts. CACI treatments involve using micro-current energy, which is transmitted to the skin and muscles, stimulating increased muscle tone and collagen production. This leads to a lifted, firmer and refreshed appearance.
What is a CACI Jowl Lift?
The CACI Jowl Lift facial uses Quad Probe applicators designed to double the lifting action of the standard CACI treatment system, thereby enhancing results and reducing treatment time. These Probes send tiny electrical impulses into the lower half of the face and the upper neck area to tone the muscles, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and redefine facial contours.
There is also a unique serum in the Quad Probe tips, this contains a powerful skin-firming formula to maximise the firming effect.
Before and after a course of CACI Jowl Lift Treatments
How long does a Jowl Lift Treatment take?
This CACI Jowl Lift takes only 15 minutes to perform. This is due to the Quad Probes specifically developed to target the muscles around the jawline.
At Cheshire Lasers, we recommend you schedule 30 mins when booking your owl Lift appointment.
Does it Hurt?
The CACI Jowl Lift treatment is completely painless, although some clients may experience a slight tingling sensation due to the micro-current or a metallic taste, which is perfectly normal.
How many treatments do I need?
The number of CACI Jowl Lift treatments needed may vary according to an individual’s needs. Cheshire Lasers recommends a course of about ten treatments over five weeks for best results.
When will I see results?
Results will be seen throughout the course. However, these are often short-lived at first. By five treatments, you usually start noticing improvements in your skin’s tone and texture. You will then see gradual improvements in the jowl as the muscles start to firm and tighten.
Do I need maintenance after the course?
A monthly maintenance session will help maintain results and your new and improved muscle tone.

One of the safest facial treatments available – non-invasive, with no needles and no downtime
Does CACI really work?
Yes – although results will vary depending on the nature of your skin, tissue and muscles. For the younger person or the person with good facial structure, Microcurrent is a workout for the facial muscles and, in hand with regular skin care, will help to delay the ageing process.
For those whose features are already beginning to slacken, the Microcurrent will remind the muscles what they should be doing, whether the muscles need to relax, such as on the forehead and frown lines, or need to tighten, such as the cheeks, brows and neck.
Over time, the treatment will help promote collagen production and stimulate tissue and muscle mass, which is essential to the anti-ageing process.
It will not eliminate creases or deep wrinkles but will soften them. Although Micro-current is often referred to as the Non-Surgical Facelift, in practice it has a natural effect with comments such as “you look great”, “you look five years younger”, “have you had your hair done”, and “have you been on holiday?” Just like working out in the gym, you will need to have maintenance treatments in order to keep the gains made.
How does CACI Microcurrent work?
Microcurrent was originally used in the medical world to treat Bell’s Palsy. It was used to restore muscle tone by applying tiny microcurrent electrical impulses to the affected muscles. It is now being increasingly used for a variety of uses, including promoting soft tissue repair.
As we grow older, our facial muscles naturally start to lose tone and elasticity, making us look older.
Microcurrent treatments apply tiny pulses of energy through cotton-tipped probes into the tissue and muscle and out again to the other cotton-tipped probe. The muscle is either stretched or squeezed as the energy passes through. The tiny current stimulates the Golgi mechanism, or brain, of the muscle to remind it what it used to do. As with any muscle work, it takes a number of sessions for the results to build up and stay. As well as affecting the muscle structure, the Micro-current stimulates collagen production and generally helps with the skin tone.
Why have a CACI Microcurrent treatment?
Following over 20 years of research and development, CACI International offers a solution to combat this loss of muscle tone using CACI Microcurrent facial toning therapy.
CACI uses a unique combination of specific waveforms and ultra-low frequencies that work in harmony with the body’s own bio-electrical field, transmitting tiny electrical impulses and signals that have been documented to stimulate muscle tone and enhance skin tissue.
CACI uses a unique bio-feedback mechanism that automatically adjusts the micro-current output delivered according to each client’s bio-electrical field.
This proven technology is available in thousands of aesthetic clinics as it is a painless, effective treatment, commonly referred to as “facial toning” or “the Non-Surgical Facelift”.
What does a CACI Microcurrent treatment involve?
At Cheshire Lasers, our CACI Microcurrent treatments include an express facial, beginning with a thorough cleanse. We then apply a thin layer of Micro-current gel. The CACI machine then delivers the treatment energy using two sets of probes that stretch or tighten the muscles. You may feel the tugging and pulling from these actions and will soon grow used to them. You may end up sleeping and feeling incredibly relaxed! We will treat each area several times. You might feel a small sensation from the current, but likely only around the upper lip, which could be like a tingling. You may sometimes have an interesting flashing when working around the eyes, although these have never yet been migraine-inducing. If you have metal fillings, you may taste the metal in your mouth when working on the outside of your cheeks!
We will remove the gel and cleanse your face once again before applying serums, moisturiser and an SPF chosen especially for your skin. For the first treatment, allow an extra 20 minutes to perform a consultation and to take photographs.
Treatment sessions vary from 15 to 70 minutes, depending on the treatment you have.
We will take Photographs at the beginning and end of the treatment course for comparison. We never use photos without your consent.
Am I suitable for CACI Microcurrent treatment?
Yes, Microcurrent is suitable for most individuals, for all ages from 30s through to 70s; however, results will very much depend on the individual.
Most people can have this treatment with the usual exceptions such as pregnancy; skin thinning medications such as Roaccutane; cancer; epilepsy; thrombosis; or a pacemaker or any rhythmic heart device fitted.
Wait at least two weeks after any Botox or filler treatments.
Wait a week after skin peels, although you can book a skin peel or a microdermabrasion straight after Microcurrent.
Simple fillings and dental implants are usually not a problem, but metalwork inserted following facial fractures and metal braces can be a problem, and we can discuss this.
What should I expect after a CACI treatment?
Your skin may be pinkish for a short time after treatment, but this will subside quickly. Normal activities can proceed immediately, and no special aftercare is required except to drink extra water to aid lymph drainage, which will have been stimulated by the treatment. Your face may feel tighter or firmer, and these effects will be less noticeable after a few treatments as this will become the norm. Your skin texture will improve, and if you wear make-up you may find it applies better or that you may want to wear less.
How many treatments do I need, and how often?
Generally, a course of 10 to 12 treatments is recommended with two a week, at least 24 hours apart, for about 5 to 6 weeks.
After a course of CACI facial toning treatments, facial contours will look lifted and toned.
A monthly top-up treatment is then recommended to maintain results.
How long do CACI results last?
CACI results are cumulative, and they are maintained rather than permanent.
After a full course of 10 – 12 treatments, the effects gradually fade over the following weeks and months. Without maintenance, you could expect much of the benefit to be lost within around two to three months. That is why we recommend a monthly top-up treatment once your course is complete.
Micro-current works on the facial muscles, so the effect behaves much like exercise. Keep it up and the tone is maintained; stop altogether and it gradually goes.
How long it holds varies from person to person. Age, skin condition and how complete your initial course was all make a difference, which is why we recommend the full course rather than a few one-off treatments.
If you do leave it and want to start again, you will need another course rather than a single treatment. How long that course needs to be depends on how much the effect has faded, so the longer you leave it, the more treatments you are likely to need.
What does a CACI treatment feel like?
The treatment feels curious at first, and then you will soon settle in to relaxing and enjoying it, and then feeling energised and rejuvenated. At first you may feel sceptical that anything is actually happening, but by the time the first treatment is completed, you will feel for yourself. Sometimes it can be a bit tingly in places, and we can discuss this. Some older clients may have very thin or tight skin around the temples, and we will adapt the treatment as necessary to be comfortable.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are extremely rare and can include erythema (redness) but will disappear within a few hours.
What are the disadvantages of CACI?
CACI is non-invasive and needs no downtime, but it is not right for everyone and it is worth knowing what it cannot do.
The results are temporary. CACI is not a permanent alternative to surgery, and regular treatments are needed to maintain the effect.
It takes a commitment of time. Some people see visible results after the first treatment, but the benefits are cumulative. We generally recommend an initial course of 10 – 12 treatments, two a week if possible, followed by a maintenance treatment each month.
The results are subtle compared with surgical procedures. CACI enhances and maintains facial tone and appearance rather than producing a dramatic structural change.
It is not suitable for everyone. It cannot be used during pregnancy, or by people with epilepsy, a pacemaker or another implanted electrical device, or anyone who has had recent facial surgery. That is not a complete list, which is why we check your suitability at consultation before treatment.
Is a CACI facial worth it?
That depends on what you want from it.
A CACI facial is a relaxing experience like any other facial. It is time to put your feet up, with the added benefit of improving your skin and giving your face a subtle lift. If you have the time to spare and would like a regular pampering session that does something as well, then yes, it is worth it. We have excellent feedback from our clients and many of them return every month for more. You can also combine it with other treatments to improve your skin tone and texture.
Here at Cheshire Lasers we have seen significant improvements around the eye area, and the CACI Eye Revive is now one of the ten most popular treatments in the clinic.
It is probably not for you if:
You are expecting the more dramatic results you would get from surgical or injectable treatments.
You do not have the time to invest in a course.
You want something that lasts a long time without maintenance.
That said, the CACI Eye Revive is worth knowing about even if a full course does not appeal. A single treatment gives a temporary lift and brightening around the eyes that lasts up to a few days, which makes it a good choice before a wedding, a party or any occasion you want to look your best for.
Are CACI home devices as good as a treatment in clinic?
They are genuinely useful, but they are not the same thing, and they work best alongside professional treatments rather than instead of them.
A CACI home device can help maintain facial tone and give the skin a fresher, more lifted appearance. Used regularly it is a worthwhile addition to a skincare routine.
The first difference is the machine itself. A home device is a small handheld unit. The CACI machine you see in clinic is a large trolley system with a range of attachments, and we use:
Standard probes, for precision work on individual facial muscles.
Quad and Jowl Lift probes, for larger areas, specifically targeting the jaw muscles.
Enhanced Tissue Repair (ETR) pads, which use a gentle flow of micro-current to target areas of concern, helping to improve the appearance of blemishes, fine lines and scar tissue while supporting the skin’s natural repair processes.
Hydratone rollers, used in the Hydratone add-on and in every CACI Eye Revive treatment, which gently massage the skin while delivering micro-current through the Hydro mask, intensively hydrating the skin while restoring firmness and facial muscle tone.
The second difference is the therapist. The results are all about technique, and two therapists can get different results from the same machine. Ours are trained specifically on it and adapt each treatment to your face rather than working through a fixed routine.
So if you are choosing between them: a course of professional treatments is what gets you the result, and a home device is a good way to maintain it in between.
Can CACI help with Bell’s palsy?
CACI was originally developed to assist with facial paralysis, and micro-current has since been used by practitioners to support facial muscle stimulation and re-education in people with Bell’s palsy.
At Cheshire Lasers we have treated patients with a history of Bell’s palsy using CACI, with variable results.
We want to be clear about what we can and cannot offer. Our therapists are trained to carry out CACI for anti-ageing and cosmetic reasons. They are not trained in the advanced medical protocols that some practitioners have developed specifically for facial palsy.
If you have recently developed facial weakness, please see your GP rather than booking a treatment. Bell’s palsy needs prompt medical assessment, and the majority of cases improve substantially on their own.
If you are living with longer-term weakness following Bell’s palsy, please speak to your GP first, as they know your medical history. If they are happy for you to try it, do get in touch and we will talk it through before you book anything. We have a frank and realistic conversation with everyone in this position, so that expectations are clear before any treatment begins.
Consultation Procedure before treatment
You must undergo a consultation with one of our CACI-trained aestheticians to obtain details about your medical history and confirm your suitability for treatment. Before proceeding with treatment, you will also be asked to complete a consent form.
