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, designed to lift and firm facial muscles, improve skin texture and support youthful contours. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford, CACI treatments are performed within our doctor led practice, ensuring quality, safety and the highest standards of skin care. Whether you are looking for a gentle lift, improved definition or enhanced skin clarity, CACI offers a natural, non invasive route to healthier and firmer skin.
CACI uses microcurrent technology to stimulate facial muscles, improving tone and elasticity in a way that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical signals. This allows for subtle but effective lifting of the cheeks, jawline and brow while improving circulation, lymphatic drainage and skin radiance. Over a course of treatments, facial contours appear more defined, fine lines soften and the skin feels smoother and more energised.
Many patients choose CACI because it provides visible improvement without needles, heat or downtime. It is suitable for almost all skin types and can be personalised to target key concerns such as loss of firmness, dullness, fine lines, puffiness or tired looking eyes.
CACI uses low level electrical impulses called microcurrents to stimulate the deeper facial muscles. These microcurrents mimic the natural bioelectrical signals the body uses to maintain muscle tone, allowing the device to gently contract and re educate facial muscles over time.
Treatment involves two handheld probes that glide across the skin using conductive gel. These probes deliver controlled microcurrents that:
Over a course of CACI treatments, the facial muscles become stronger and more lifted, resulting in improved contour, reduced sagging and a fresher, more energised appearance. CACI can target specific areas such as the jawline, cheek lift or eye area, or treat the entire face for overall rejuvenation.
Advanced programmes such as CACI Eye Revive or CACI Skin Calm can also address puffiness, dark circles, sensitivity and surface dehydration. This makes CACI a versatile treatment with broad appeal for many skin concerns.
Your CACI treatment begins with a consultation and skin assessment. A conductive gel is applied to ensure smooth gliding of the microcurrent probes. The treatment feels gentle, with light tingling or muscle contraction sensations but no discomfort. The probes are moved in specific lifting motions across the face to retrain and strengthen targeted muscles.
Depending on your goals, the treatment may focus on areas such as the jawline, cheeks, brow or eye area. A full face treatment lasts between forty five and seventy five minutes.
Your skin will feel fresh, firm and hydrated immediately after treatment. A visible lift can often be seen after just one session, although long lasting improvement builds over a course. There is no redness, heat or downtime, and you can apply makeup and return to normal activities immediately.
CACI has minimal to no downtime. Mild redness or temporary sensitivity may occur in those with very reactive skin, but this settles quickly. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in brightness and firmness, with cumulative lifting effects developing over several weeks of regular sessions.
After CACI, continue your normal skincare routine. Avoid heavy exfoliation or aggressive active ingredients for the remainder of the day. Hydration and SPF are recommended to maintain skin health. For best results, a course of regular treatments followed by maintenance sessions is advised.

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 usually choose CACI when they want improved facial tone, better contour and enhanced skin radiance without invasive procedures. A typical journey begins with an initial course of eight to twelve sessions performed weekly or twice weekly to re educate the facial muscles. After the course is completed, maintenance treatments every four to six weeks help preserve the lifted and toned results.
CACI is often chosen by patients looking to enhance natural definition, reduce early signs of ageing or improve dull or tired looking skin. It can be combined with Hydrafacial, microneedling or skin boosters as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.
Because CACI is gentle and progressive, many patients appreciate its subtle and natural outcome, making it suitable for adults of all ages.
CACI offers a gentle yet effective way to lift and tone the face by stimulating the underlying muscles and improving overall skin vitality. It enhances facial contours, softens fine lines and boosts circulation, giving the skin a fresher, more energised look. The treatment supports lymphatic drainage, reduces puffiness and improves hydration, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion. With regular sessions, CACI helps maintain long term facial muscle strength and firmness, creating natural improvement without downtime or invasive techniques.
